Tweed Shire Council is threatening to impose a freeze on developments worth billions of dollars in a surprise rebellion against a state government directive to cap developer contributions at $20,000. In a rare act of defiance, the council will tell the NSW government it’s not prepared to raise rates to cover the shortfall in contributions to pay for roads and other infrastructure to service mega projects now on the drawing board. They include Bob Ell’s Cobaki Lakes and Kings Forest developments and other multi-residential projects at Terranora and Bilambil which are currently being assessed by the Planning Department.

Seeking meetings The council unanimously endorsed a mayoral minute to seek a meeting with both the Premier Kristina Keneally and Planning Minister Tony Kelly to ask them to reverse their arbitrary contribution cap. It will also advise them that ‘it can no longer guarantee’ to fund the infrastructure required for these major projects and that only smaller projects which can be funded within the $20,000 cap should be given the go-ahead. The council will also tell the government that if it’s not prepared to budge on the cap they should be prepared to stump up the estimated $300 million required to construct roads to service the projects now in the pipeline. Mayor Warren Polglase said the non-indexed $20,000 cap per house lot which the government recently imposed would create an intolerable financial burden on existing ratepay-

ers, leading to rate rises of more than 50 per cent. ‘This may seem to be a windfall for the big developers of the massive urban release areas in the shire, but the government’s actions are likely to have the opposite effect,’ he said. ‘It is unlikely that any council, including the Tweed, would raise their annual rates to fund the infrastructure as the premier has suggested. ‘In the absence of a rate rise to meet the funding gap, the infrastructure would not be provided and these projects will flounder with land developers going out of business.’ Cr Polglase said the government had imposed the cap without any consultation in a bid to create more affordable houses, but the move was likely to have the opposite effect. ‘Housing development in the Tweed will grind to a halt through lack of connecting roads and other infrastructure. As supply is restricted, prices for housing blocks will increase dramatically,’ he said. ‘The government’s assertions that developers’ savings will be passed onto homebuyers is unfounded.’ Cr Polglase said although the average contribution was now around $16,000 per lot, soaring construction prices would increase it to more than the $20,000 cap within the next six months. He said the government actions undermined 20 years of strategic planning, putting at risk plans to increase the population from around 85,000 to 125,000 over the next 20 years. ‘Clearly the government’s suggestion of raising annual rates to bridge the shortfall in developer contributions is unfair, abhorrent to the community and should be rejected outright,’ he said.

Once upon a time there was a reading program that was non-judgemental, proving very successful and growing like topsy despite having definitely gone to the dogs. The Story Dogs Program, set up by two Tweed women interested in getting involved in a volunteer program and in helpling improve literacy, was set up in 2007 (after a lot of ground work). The program now has 13 teams (dog and handler) operating in four primary schools at Kingscliff, Murwillumbah, Murwillumbah East and Uki and expanding rapidly. Co-founder Leah Sheldon said

more dogs were currently going through the program and at least three more schools, Centaur, Terranora and South Tweed would be on-line before the end of the year. Leah said Story Dogs was based on the successful American literacy program Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ) launched in 1999 in Utah USA, as the first comprehensive literacy program built around the idea of children and young adolescents reading to dogs. She said the dogs (and owners) came from all sorts of breeds and types (greyhounds, Jack Russells and even Labrador/Collie crosses) and there was even a one-eyed dog. But what they all had in common was

they were obedient, well behaved and pretty good listeners. The program sees the dogs go into schools and work with kids who may be having trouble with their literacy. ‘The dog just sits there and the children read to it, poor readers seem to really open up to a dog with its adoring eyes,’ Leah said. The dogs are independently assessed and screened by a certified Dogs NSW trainer and not all are passed on their first attempt. Story Dogs handlers are volunteers trained in basic literacy education, primarily focused on the NSW Reading Recovery model.

Surf club fees enforced

Tania Phillips

Members of Cabarita Beach surf lifesaving club have reacted angrily to council’s refusal this week to waive fees of more than $100,000 associated with a new deck on their club house. The council instead voted to halve the fees, but will ask two of the club’s volunteer members to personally guarantee a loan from council for the outstanding $56,730 debt. Cr Joan van Lieshout won the support of only Phil Youngblutt and Katie Milne to waive the section 94 contributions being demanded by council for parking spaces and road repairs. Club spokesman Patrick Rafferty said the council should be giving top priority to supporting surf lifesaving clubs on the Tweed. ‘Cabarita Beach SLSC members along with other Tweed clubs are shouldering the burden of increased beach patronage from the booming north coast and southern Queensland,’ he said. He found it incredible that the council wanted two voluntary directors of a charitable non-profit surf club to personally guarantee the loan with an interest rate of seven per cent. ‘How many times do councillors or staff place themselves as guarantors for loans that council enters into?’ he said.

Contentious fence approved Ken Sapwell

Tweed Shire Council has given the green light for a contentious fence surrounding a development site at Hastings Point despite objections from residents who say it threatens wildlife and blocks access to a local creek. Chief planner Vince Connell recommended retrospective approval even though part of it had been erected without consent in an environment protection zone housing mangroves and salt marsh species. But developer Walter Elliott Holdings will first have to seek approval from the Department of the Environment as well as removing barbed wire from the structure and provide spaces beneath the fence to allow wildlife to migrate.

The developer told the council the fence had been erected to contain dogs belonging to a caretaker within the 18ha site and to stop unfettered access to mangrove areas to help protect them. ‘Objectors to this proposal say the argument is not substantiated when the applicant regularly slashes the mangroves,’ Mr Connell said in a report to this week’s council meeting. ‘Notwithstanding, the retention of the fence in itself will not hinder the wetlands and the environmental significance of this area.’ But in a surprise twist the council ignored staff warnings that it may be difficult to prosecute the company for the unauthorised fencing because of complex state and planning laws and voted to issue a $3,000 fine.

The penalty is in addition to another $3,000 fine imposed last week after a small army of workers began slashing and spraying vegetation in an environmental zone adjoining a local creek. Kingscliff councillor Kevin Skinner said he strongly supported fining the developer ‘as much as possible’ for his actions. He said the site had been subjected to illegal clearing and earthworks over many years. ‘They have got away with it time and time again and it’s a shame we can’t go back to take action for every past misdemeanour.’ The developer is seeking government approval to subdivide the site for 36 housing lots and two tourist lots, but residents say any major development on the site will increase the flood risk.

Tweed River Art Gallery says it has scored a coup with the touring Salon des Refusés exhibition going on exhibition tomorrow until August 8. The Salon des Refusés was initiated by the S H Ervin Gallery in 1992 in the tradition of the French Impressionists of the 1860s who struggled with the French Academy. In 1863, the academy rejected a staggering 2,800 canvases submitted for their annual Salon exhibition. The protests that followed were so great that eventually Napoleon III himself demanded to see the rejected

works. He then told the academy to reconsider its selection and when it refused, the emperor decreed that the rejected paintings go on display in a separate exhibition. And so the phrase Salon des Refusés entered the artistic lexicon. The S H Ervin Gallery revived the tradition and the name and each year a panel of arts professionals goes behind the scenes of the judging process for the annual Archibald and Wynne Prizes at the Art Gallery of NSW to select an exhibition from the many works entered in both prizes but not chosen for the of-

ficial award exhibition. Director of the Tweed gallery Susi Muddiman, who was one of this year’s selection panel which chose the 42 works from 849 Archibald Prize and 798 Wynne Prize entries, said the Salon des Refusés had established an excellent reputation rivalling the selection of the ‘official’ prize exhibition and is often cited as ‘a more lively and discerning selection’. Director of the S H Ervin Gallery in Sydney, Louise Tegart, will present a floortalk at 5.30pm as a preview to the 6pm opening.

Council ‘dudded’ Ken Sapwell

A confrontation is looming between Tweed Shire Council and the NSW government after the Lands Department reneged on a promise to share revenue generated from a tourist development on creekfront land at Kingscliff. The council unanimously backed a call by Cr Kevin Skinner to ask the government to allow council to pocket some of the money it was obtaining for leasing the crown land site to Leighton Holdings over the next 70 years. ‘We have been dudded,’ said Cr Skinner. ‘We were told we would have an income stream and now we hear the government is ripping the rug out from under our feet and we won’t be getting any money at all.’ The request will be added to a council submission to the Department of Planning which also calls for more stringent measures to stop owners from permanently occupying holiday bungalows to be built on the 43-hectare site south of Cudgen Creek. The council wants the department to impose time-limit restrictions to be registered on the land titles to ensure the bungalows are used for shortterm tourist accommodation rather than permanent homes for owners.

Plans for the long-vacant site, which was once earmarked by the government for the state’s first casino, includes 180 bungalows, a conference centre, restaurant, bar, retail premises and associated resort activities occupying about a quarter of the total site. The submission asks the department to override Leighton’s objections to council’s plans to limit stays to just 42 days, saying restrictions registered on the title would enable the rule to be enforced. It also wants the department to increase developer contributions to account for the site being occupied by up to 302 separate visitor groups at anyone time because of a proposed ‘dual-key’ system for each bungalow. The submission also wants further assessment of the ‘ecological integrity’ of the dunal and riparian management plans for the site. The site, which is bisected by Casuarina Way, was a crown land reserve managed by the council until 2004 when the Lands Department took control. The government appointed a steering committee to come up with a plan of management for the site and zoned it for tourism development. Leighton’s were chosen to be the developers after its concept plans for the site won a government tender process.

Kingy beach erosion ‘serious’

Kingscliff residents say serious erosion of their beach is not only washing away native vegetation but threatening a local access road. The southern end of Kingscliff beach near the Cudgen Creek mouth has seen a increased rate of erosion since late last year with many of the dune’s older trees, including casuarinas and some pandanus, washed away during high tides or storms. The Faulks Park access road running parallel to the shore was temporarily closed this week by Tweed Shire Council as more ground gave way. Locals say they’re upset that

council hadn’t acted earlier but a spokeswoman said council was looking to get some remedial works underway, such as a combination of sandbagging and battering of the erosion scarp to ensure Faulks Park and the nearby access road were not affected. A council spokeswoman said that under council’s coastal management guidelines, council would allow natural depletion or accretion of sand ‘until it becomes a threat to a public asset’ such as the park or access road and that the dunal area acted as a buffer. Protection of the park and road were a priority, but not the trees, deemed ‘natural’ rather than ‘public’ assets. The spokeswoman said other beach-replenishment options were also being explored. Michael Bryant, of the Curious Art Gallery at Chinderah, told The Echo he has been documenting the erosion at King-

scliff ‘which has been steadily increasing since May 2009 and appears to be getting pretty close to serious’. ‘Each new high tide brings the shoreline closer to the road that runs parallel to the shore near the coastguard tower. From the north wall up to 200 metres further north it looks like a tsunami has hit,’ Michael said. ‘A section of that road is about to collapse, probably within two or three new high tides with a good 20-foot-plus tree that will collapse either into the sea or the road.’ Meanwhile, a bill aimed at protecting the coastline has been introduced into state parliament. Climate Change Minister Frank Sartor said there were 200 houses in 15 hot spots around the state at risk in the event of a major storm and that number was expected to increase with projected sea-level rises.

K’cliff road link ‘boost for business’

The Tweed’s biggest fishing competition in aid of charity, the Cabarita-based Greenback Tailor Fishing Competition, drew over 700 amateur fishers for its 26th annual event last weekend. The Greenback event is one of the richest fishing competitions on the east coast of Australia with thousands of dollars worth of prizes, and is run by the Cabarita Beach/Pottsville Beach Lions Club, with proceeds shared between the Cabarita Surf Life Saving Club,

the Tweed Valley Rescue Squad and the Westpac Lifesaver rescue helicopter service. The biggest tailor caught over the weekend weighed 3.35kg which organisers say was a ‘baby’. That biggie was caught by Jesse Jones, of Hastings Point, who won $1,500 in cash and $500 worth of white goods as first prize. Last year’s winning tailor weighed in at 3.56kg. The main raffle prize of a $1,500 credit union account and weekend’s resort accommodation was won by Vaughan Davies, of Murwillumbah. Q See fishing column, page 18.

A fresh push for a proposed link road into Kingscliff, which it’s claimed will breathe life into the beachside community, is likely to win council support despite previously being rejected. Mayor Warren Polglase told a Kingscliff and District Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday this week that the economic benefits of a road link connecting Turnock Street to Tweed Coast Way would likely outweigh environmental concerns when the matter comes before council again. The chamber has championed the proposed link road which it says would significantly improve access to the town, bringing flow-on economic benefits. However, moves for the road extension stalled following a long running dispute between council and landowner Gales Holdings. ‘That link road will reinvigorate Kingscliff. It’s an important issue. Personalities have got involved to the detriment of residents,’ said chamber president Idwall Richards. Director of Gales Holdings, Stephen Segal, told The Echo he was not aware of any imminent resolution on the road issue, although he did confirm the company had held informal discussions with council engineers. ‘Looking at Kingscliff today it seems very depressed. It’s certainly not booming as it should be,’ Mr Segal said. ‘The road is zoned for urban expansion and certainly there are socio-economic advantages to it going ahead. It’s now up to council to choose where they stand.’ Mr Segal said the company had lodged separate development applications covering the link road and council sewerage works in 2005 on the specific advice of council. Gales subsequently withdrew its application after council objected to its proposal, sparking a legal battle in the Land and Environment Court. Local residents have also raised environmental concerns about the proposed road extension, which would cut through wetlands, saying it would be prone to flooding and cause destruction of the natural habitat including native paperbark trees. The Cudgen Progress Association has indicated it will lodge an objection should should the application come before council. www.tweedecho.com.au

Developer’s shops bid fails Students targeted by police Ken Sapwell

A developer’s request for a closed-door meeting with councillors to revive plans for a shopping complex at Pottsville is in limbo following a stoush over whether members of the community could also attend. Mayor Warren Polglase had the support of most colleagues to meet with Metricon executives to revisit the company’s plans for a ‘supermarket-based shopping centre’ on the nearby Seabreeze estate. But the move was derailed when Cr Barry Longland won narrow support for an amend-

ment allowing interested members of the Pottsville community to also attend the meeting. The amendment created turmoil, forcing those who opposed outsiders being present voting against holding the meeting, although Cr Polglase said that it didn’t mean that the developer wouldn’t try again. At one stage Greens councillor Katie Milne triggered angry exchanges after demanding that Cr Polglase clarify his relationship with the developer who she said had contributed to his campaign to be elected to the former council. Cr Polglase warned that her

comments ‘overstepped the mark’ while his deputy Phil Youngblutt unsuccessfully called for her removal unless she apologised for her remarks. Crs Longland and Kevin Skinner led the charge against re-opening the door to revive the controversial shopping centre proposal which was killed off following a costly court challenge by the council less than two years ago. They said it should not be revisited so soon after the court case and the implementation of a new locality plan for Pottsville which stipulated that any future supermarket should be located in Pottsville village. ‘I don’t think we should be seen to be encouraging them to come forward with the same proposal, it’s a bit of a dead horse for at least the next five years and I think a meeting would be a waste of time,’ Cr Longland said. Cr Skinner predicted Metricon would continue to pursue its plans despite claims it would cover the proposed supermarket site with homes because the comparative returns on a supermarket ‘were huge’. Crs Youngblutt and Joan van Lieshout said Metricon should be allowed to present their case to the council at a workshop without possible interruption from people who were opposed to the idea.

Tweed River High School students have been targeted in a surprise drug sweep as part of a police crackdown on youth related violence and anti-social behaviour in the region. Police from the Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, assisted by drug detection dogs, stopped students outside the school and at a nearby skate park about 2.30pm last Thursday. A number of school buses were also searched during the operation. A small amount of cannabis and fireworks were seized, but no arrests were made.

Police have confirmed they acted following a tip-off from members of the public. The operation comes following a spate of assaults, robberies, drug use and anti-social behaviour in and around the Heffron Street skate park. Police also confirmed a number of arrests in relation to drug possession and stolen property had been made in the area recently. Tweed police chief, Superintendent Michael Kenny, said Tweed Heads police were committed to addressing youth violence issues and warned of further operations targeting drug supply networks.

‘In recent times we have conducted a number of highvisibility policing operations as well as attending community safety committee meetings and looking at causal factors and preventative measures,’ he said. A NSW Education Department spokesman said the school was consulted ahead of last week’s operation and supported the police action. ‘Tweed River High School was happy to be the pilot school in the operation, given its support for police-youth liaison work in the community. This reflects the school’s strict no-tolerance policy towards drugs in schools,’ the spokesman said.

Council to ‘star’ in reality TV series Kate McIntosh

Tweed Shire Council is set to feature in a fly-on-the wall style TV series after giving the Channel Seven network the green light, despite the risk of negative publicity. The cameras began rolling almost immediately after councillors voted this week in favour of a motion to allow the network access to selected council meetings and local staff during the course of their duties. The proposed program, which is tentatively titled Local Rules is in a similar vein to the network’s reality TV series The

Force and Border Security. However, Cr Katie Milne, who raised the sole objection on the motion, said she held ‘severe reservations’.` Although initially supportive of the program, saying it would increase transparency and even provide a source of light entertainment to the general public, Cr Milne said she now feared community members would feel intimidated by the presence of cameras inside council chambers and therefore be less likely to speak out on important issues. The program, which is expected to air later this year, will

focus on a range of day-to-day council issues including building approval mediation, illegal dumping, neighbourhood disputes and tree clearing. Film crew trailed council officers this week as they conducted a raid on an illegal dwelling, dealt with nude beach-goers and tracked down the owners of a lost dog. The Tweed is among several NSW councils selected to take part in the primetime series including Muswellbrook, Port Stephens and Rockdale councils. Filming is expected to continue for up to eight weeks.

X-rated: mayor bans rally painting Luis Feliu

A Tweed artist has slammed Tweed Shire Council’s refusal to hang his anti-rally themed painting at Murwillumbah Library, accusing the mayor and council of blatant censorship. Nobbys Creek artist Chris Degenhardt and supporters held a peaceful protest against the ban before Tuesday’s council meeting outside the chamber. Tweed mayor Warren Polglase issued a press release last Thursday when the artist’s painting Invasion was due to be hung as part of a wider display at the library, saying he found it offensive and ‘confronting’ and that the library was not an appropriate venue for it. The ban sparked a mini media debate about art censorship and freedom of expression with the mayor, the artist and others featured on talkback radio. Mr Degenhardt said the ban in itself proved ‘the message of the painting to be correct’ in

The disgraced former major events minister was referred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) after it was found he improperly used public funds to pay for flight upgrades. He had resigned from parliament only days before. The NRG says the ICAC referral ‘further strengthens the case for a full investigation into the circumstances behind the funding of the WRC rally’. NRG secretary Andrea Vickers said Premier Keneally has instructed ICAC to investigate the misuse of travel allowances ‘but the event which started Mr Macdonald’s fall from grace

They certainly don’t come to be confronted with a violent and perhaps defamatory depiction of a local event,’ he said. ‘This artwork is perpetuating untruths and misinformation which have been used by rally opponents to malign the event, its organisers and Tweed Shire Council without foundation,’ he said. Cr Polglase said another work, ‘a full nude of a woman’, was also refused permission to hang for ‘similar reasons in that it was considered unsuitable for the family environment of the library’ but that a range of other Mr Degenhardt’s works, unrelated to the rally, were now hanging in the library. The council-run Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads libraries often provide art space to encourage local artists. Cr Polglase told ABC Radio he had talked to fellow council-

lors before making a decision but in a response to an Echo inquiry over whether it was a matter which required a council resolution, director of community and natural resources David Oxenham said, ‘The mayor in consultation with councillors provided a request for the organisation not to hang the painting due to its offensive and potentially defamatory nature. I concurred with this assessment and provided the direction to the library not to hang the painting’.

Dear Bill, My favourite way of keeping warm is to cuddle up with the missus in nice flannelette sheets. (If you haven’t got a missus watch this space I’m sure to give you good advice on how to find one soon!) I know you can’t always spend all day in bed. If you have to get out of bed here’s a few tips. 1. Come into this great little shop I know called Outdoorism they’ve got everything you need to keep warm and some stuff you don’t need. 2. Good quality thermal underwear, they can even sell you some that make you look like Where’s Wally and guess what they’re Aussie made 3. Ugg boots gotta be Aussie made. 4. Thick woolly soxs and you guessed it their Aussie made too. 5. Gloves, beanies, balaclavas and neck warmers you’ll find them all there. 6. Even warm jackets and fleeces. If that all doesn’t have you looking like the Michelin Man you’re not trying. I tell you this shop is like an Aladdin’s cave and has everything you need to keep warm. Speaking of Aladdin they even have Aladdin flasks so you don’t have to get out of bed in the morning to make a cuppa when it’s cold. Now I’m thinkin! You could even keep a good quality esky beside your bed and you won’t even have to get out of bed for meals. Wow! The ideas just keep flowing, why don’t you drop in and see us I’ll probably have some more ideas by then. See ya soon Your mate Tony

a (successful) legal fight to stop the developer’s plans for a bigger complex, the mayor is still trying to give it special treatment. Cr Katie Milne has every right to question the mayor over his links with this developer who she said had contributed to the campaign which elected him to the former council; after all that goes to the heart of why the council led by Cr Polglase was sacked in 2005, for being ‘puppets’ of the developer. And the temerity of the mayor’s sidekick Phil Youngblutt to call for her removal unless she apologised is simply outrageous. Then there’s the ‘dobbing in’ of a ratepayer to the local government minister for making ‘unfounded allegations’ against the council general manager, a move spearheaded by Cr Dot Holdom. Talk about trying to stifle criticism from its own constituents, that takes the cake. What on earth did the majority councillors hope to achieve by reporting the resident? Did they think the minister would send in the thought police to arrest him? If they deemed it an appropriate action to take, then they should call it a day right now and stop wasting our money on their prejudices.

ing as it did from a friend, was that Rudd was not entirely rational, that perhaps, just perhaps, their trusted leader was turning into a bit of a psycho. Unwanted memories of Mark Latham came flooding back. Perhaps all Labor leaders came from the same distorted mould, and under a little pressure would crack. This was not what Marr meant at all, and he said so

Rudd seemed to stumble from one allegedly world-shattering crisis to another, with humiliating backdowns the punctuation in the process. by Mungo MacCallum government, but in fact it has worked the other way; like Tony Abbott, the statement that they do not always tell the truth has been taken as evidence that this time they just might be. Then a former Queensland treasurer, Keith de Lacey, now himself a mining executive, declared that Rudd had become an object of ridicule and should make way for someone who really cared about the country. The problem here was that de Lacey himself has long been an object of ridicule both inside and outside the Labor Party, and is in any case a long time enemy of Rudd dating back to the days when Rudd ran Premier Wayne Goss’s office. No one has ever taken him seriously. Far more damaging was David Marr and his Quarterly Essay concluding that there was anger at the core of Rudd, and that he was driven by rage. The implication many drew from this verdict, com-

loudly and publicly. I thought I understood what he was getting at: there was indeed anger in Rudd, a hatred of injustice which went back to his childhood and which manifested itself in occasional temper tantrums, but also in a reforming zeal, a passion for change which old Labor men and women referred to as the fire in the belly. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, and indeed the major criticism of Rudd was that he did not have enough of it: he was the Ruddbot, programmed by selfcontrol and spin. But in the circumstances it did not help. Abbott was supposed be the erratic one, the wild man too risky to elect. If Rudd was also some kind of a loose cannon, what was the point of keeping him? After all, his reformist zeal didn’t seem to have achieved all that much. Indeed, it seemed to consist largely of stumbling from one allegedly world-shattering crisis to another, with humiliating

backdowns the punctuation in the process. This, at least, was the view of the commentariat at News Ltd. But out in the real world, even in the backblocks of Queensland, the reaction wasn’t quite as clear-cut. I spent the Queen’s Birthday weekend (Queensland still holds it) in the gulf country, where the punters were pouring in to the Normanton Rodeo, and the miners of Mt Isa were congregating at Karumba for the fishing. If the pundits were right, this should have been the heartland of the revolt. But in fact the mood was more one of bewilderment than of betrayal. When they could be persuaded to talk about politics at all, which was not often, they said that they felt that they really didn’t understand Rudd, and that he didn’t understand them either. He didn’t talk to them and he didn’t consult them; all they ever got was bumped-up little shiny bums from the public service telling them what to do. There was anger and indignation, but most of it was aimed at the state government rather than the feds, and there was still an underlying sense that if only Rudd could see what their problems were, he would do the right thing and they would trust him again. As for Tony Abbott – well, as one woman who described herself as being on the conservative side put it, he really didn’t seem to have the charisma to be prime minister. She probably meant gravitas rather than charisma, but the point was clear: Rudd might be a bit of a letdown, but the alternative was still unconvincing. Labor’s plan A might still be in place, but only just. It is time – long past time, in fact – for Rudd to pull his finger out.

Losing the plot

Queensland Labor’s polling is bleak, and elsewhere the mood is verging on panic. And at least some of the attack is coming from supposedly friendly quarters. Rudd’s old mate Twiggy Forrest has told the Prime Minister that this time the miners are serious, they’re not bluffing. The tacit admission that in the past they may indeed have been crying wolf ought to have helped the

Kingscliff

Make toddlers happy There is a grassed area next to the Kingscliff Amenities Hall which is bordered on three sides by brick walls and I am wondering, do you use this grassed area? Have you seen anyone ever use this area? I must admit, it is not the most inviting area. The gardens are unmaintained and the ground is littered by stray cigarette butts. I personally cannot imagine local families or visitors packing a picnic basket for a day on this particular patch of grass. In fact, the only member of the public I have seen utilise the grass over the years was a man urinating. The Kingscliff Community

Playgroup have applied to the Tweed Shire Council to have this area fenced with external access provided via an unlocked gate. This non-denominational, unexclusive playgroup have a vision of using the hall one day a week and making use of this neglected area for the children aged 0-5 years to safely play with their guardians in the open air. The playgroup also wish to maintain the garden beds and plant sunflowers, tomatoes and herbs. However, Gary Corbett, Manager of Community and Cultural Services at Tweed Shire Council, believes that the fence would be an eyesore for passing tourists and that would be bad for business. He also believes that the area should remain unfenced so as not to exclude the general public (I forgot that drunk men needing to urinate may not have the coordination to use a safety gate handle). On behalf of the not-forprofit playgroup, I would like to ask the Kingscliff/Tweed community, would the fencing of the grassed area and maintenance of the garden beds by a group of happy toddlers be an eyesore? Would an unlocked gated fence exclude you from this area? Please provide feedback to chantalbradshaw@bigpond.com.

Time to become more like Victoria Having just spent considerable time in Victoria, the difference between what is happening down there and here in NSW is both stunning and terrifying. The Victorian government certainly has its problems, and Victorians aren’t happy with them, of course, but they are insignificant compared to what we, NSW residents, face on a daily basis. Where corruption is visibly institutionalised and protected at both state and council levels in NSW, it is more contained in Victoria. Sustainability is not just a word down there, it is a concept which is understood and practised at systems level. From inclusive community education programs, to demands that corporates change

their practice, to actually auditing all government departments, they are mandating sustainability at all levels and the message is even starting to get through to city dwellers. As a result, towns, waterways and farms are changing rapidly, and they actually seem to understand the words biodiversity protection. More importantly there is a huge push to encourage development away from the coastline and into regional Victoria. Development there does not mean carpeting vulnerable areas and arable land with suburban housing, it means towns like Horsham, halfway to Adelaide, are developing an accessible café and shopping culture which is the envy of Melbourne dwellers,

waterways are protected with 100m riparian zones, not to mention featuring in the ‘tidy towns hall of fame’, and car races are kept to designated hoon tracks, because of intelligent council decisions and local resident support. The Grampians has a tourism industry based on Tasmanian style cottage industry and fine food, all of the things which the Tweed could become famous for, if only! Why the difference, we must ask? What a difference where state and local governments commit to the future of the entire community creating real ‘green’ jobs, unlike our gang of four still lining the pockets of their mates, and trying to turn us into a poor man’s Gold Coast by claiming that

bad council decisions ‘create jobs’. We need a local government with the capacity and ability to make intelligent decisions, and to work with local communities, not constantly seeking to overpower them. I love living in the Tweed and will continue the fight here against stupidity, but am so glad my grandchild is growing up elsewhere right now, in a place not beholden to developer greed. A good start would be for our council to enact what their own policies actually state, to stop the culture of bullying that has become endemic yet again, and to stop the Groundhog Day inquisitional attitudes.

TSC?

Kingscliff mess

When I saw the letters ‘TSC’ stencilled on various public assets around our shire, I thought that they were the initials for ‘Tweed Shire Council’, but of late they also seem to stand for ‘Turmoil Secrets and Conflict’.

There was a heavenly place named Kingscliff and I was going to move there and be able to enjoy walking on the beach. That was the case but now I would have to walk on the road, the beach has gone. I’ll look for another dream location. I moved to Kingscliff after watching the black fishing on the northern break wall, it’s now filled over by sand. There is no one fact that has created these changes but

the narrowing of the bridge is one of the reasons. Henry Kroll tried in vain to explain this to senior staff. Tom Eady has a letter dated two years ago where council stated that they were going to widen the creek at the bridge. Why did they take a short cut and create this mess that will have to be dealt with out of ratepayer’s funds? No matter whose side you are on, the effects are obvious even to the

non-locals as well, who were here for Wintersun.

Caba will be the next to suffer, if we get great flooding rain this winter, due to narrowing of the creek to create the old bridge for the sand miners to get to work.

Reason to be scared It worries me that today I read that Tony Abbott is concerned that if he shows too much of himself that we will be too frightened to vote for him. What does this tell us about what he plans to do if he is elected? We already know that he admits that not everything he says is true and he has backflipped on everything from the Greenhouse effect to paid maternity leave. But what else has he got to say that will scare the average voter?

Q

Offence is in the eye of the beholder It appears that Warren Polglase finds my painting The Invasion personally offensive. In particular the mayor finds a picture of a dead koala offensive along with pictures of a road accident and a couple of people doing a Nazi salute. Because he finds these things to be distasteful he has banned my painting from being put on display at the Murwillumbah library. This is blatant art censorship and a personal attack on my artistic expression. I think I am entitled to right of reply. So let me tell you good folks what I find to be offensive about this. I am deeply offended by wildlife being needlessly put under stress and possibly dying from stress myopathy when racing cars invade their territory, especially during their breeding season I find it deeply offensive that irresponsible drivers, trying to emulate the dangerous driving of their hero rally drivers, become a danger to themselves and other road users. I find it very offensive that

while the federal government hails this area as ‘Australia’s Green Cauldron’ and encourages low impact tourism, the state government of NSW encourages high speed car racing in our National Parks. I find this hypocrisy very offensive indeed. I furthermore find it offensive that the state government, on the one hand, promotes safe driving with campaigns such as ‘Nobody thinks big of you’, while at the same time encouraging dangerous driving and speeding with the Repco Rally. I find this hypocrisy deeply offensive. I also find it offensive that a state MP Ian MacDonald put in place his ‘Special Legislation’ to override a swag of state and local environmental laws. So Mayor Polglase is offended by the picture of a dead koala but it doesn’t seem to matter to him how many real ones are stressed by the Repco rally, or any other wildlife for that mattter. It seems to be a case of out of sight, out of mind.

The only things that he knows will scare Australians are those policies which doomed his mentor Howard to the wastes of political history. The most obvious has to

be WorkChoices. Given he has already said he will get rid of the ‘unfair dismissal’ burden from small business does this mean that once again every worker will have to look over

Q

Finally I find it offensive that the mayor sets himself up as a moral compass for the community and has the effrontery to impose censorship on local artists. If the mayor was to come clean he would admit my painting was banned from the library simply because it is anti- Repco rally. Chris Degenhardt

Nobbys Creek Q Many things in this world cause offence to many people. Chris Degenhart’s impression of the impact of the imposition of the Repco rally on the Tweed Valley and Kyogle ranks pretty low among them, if at all. If the mayor and other councillors had taken the time to read the original Daily News story about this painting they would have seen Chris’s explanation of the imagery used. For my money, the painting is spot on. It is almost universally accepted now that the imposition of the Repco rally caused widespread community division and disharmony. The

their shoulder to see if their boss is watching when they need to have a cup of coffee? Does this mean that your boss can once again sack you because you took a day off sick? If this is what Tony Abbott wants to bring on, then he has every reason to be scared. K Baird

Apocalypse The apocalypse means the change of consciousness, or mass enlightenment, whereby humankind makes the final leap in cerebral evolution, gets to know the truth and begins to live anarchistically, in consensual diversity, guided by the golden rule of Nature and/or God which is advocated throughout Wisdom literature. The failures will be the selfrighteous hypocrites, aka sinners, who, unlike we meek sinners, feel no need to change and so don’t prepare for it. The predicted sign is the sign of Jonah whereby we exit reified abstractions such as artificial church and nation and realise that our, natural, context is, self-knowably, alive: as a female god or elohim.

Working for whom? I am continually being amazed by the stories that I am reading in all of the local news publications regarding the Tweed Shire Council and now there may be a reality TV show based on their meetings (or should I say ‘antics’). I can hardly wait for that! They have approved the 10 June 17, 2010 The Tweed Shire Echo

<echowebsection=Letters>

tactics used by the NSW government and local councils to impose this event on Tweed and Kyogle Shires could easily be described as fascist. This latest attempt at censorship by Tweed Shire Council should take no one by surprise. This is the council that has a media policy that is the most draconian in NSW. According to this policy councillors may only make public information that is already public. A number of councillors have pursued a vendetta against popular Greens councillor Katie Milne. This vendetta has even extended to seconding her motions only to vote against them. Despite their best efforts Cr Milne’s popularity continues to grow. Why? One reason could be that she is the only one who consistently stands with and for the community interest, the only one who really listens to the community and hears what they are saying. This is the council that discusses local residents, and

their views, in closed confidential committee. This is the council that believes it is appropriate to report local residents ‘to the minister’ if they say something the council does not like. This is the council that can’t see the conflict of interest that faces its general manager when he sits on the board of directors of Rally Australia at the same time as he is delegated council’s authority to negotiate with them about levels and types of support. This is the council that sends threatening letters to residents who dare to raise uncomfortable issues in Community Access – and then won’t even tell them what their ‘crime’ was. This is the council that imposes requirements on its Aboriginal Advisory Committee that it does not impose on other advisory committees. If mayor Polglase is looking for things that cause offence, he does not need to look far. He could start by taking a critical look at his own council! Michael McNamara

concreting of a natural waterway which is a fish breeding ground, land in a protected area at Hastings Point is illegally cleared, and there are numerous other issues including the world rally, Kings Forest and the Aboriginal advisory committee with respect to Cr Katie Milne. What’s going on? Isn’t the council supposed to be working for the residents of the Tweed Shire and the environment? It seems that all they are doing is upsetting everyone and everything, except the developers of course! And as we know development equals profit!

funding innovation so these two concepts – innovation (improve the world/the help the world motive) and government spin (tell the voters you are the best at doing it, even when it is not true, the help yourself motive) – were my daily entertainment. I also loved the wit and words of Mandy in her Soap Box ‘Vegans with a Beef ’ (similar experiences with vegans/ other groups of little humour). The plays on words were a sheer delight. Mandy, thanks for the many laughs. Your only competition will be that new reality show Local Rules with the Tweed Debra Klemencz Council. I suspect Mandy Chinderah suggested it. Thanks.

The main attractions I have enjoyed your newspaper for many months and with the long week I found the time to give you some feedback. The main attraction for religiously getting The Echo is the excellent TV guide. I appreciated the new What’s New section (is that rhetorical, redundant or self evident?) as I came from this sector of innovation. I have visited Chillingham Village Markets to see their energy/ environment approach but the CSIRO article was the main read. Big bangs (CSIRO) and little bangs (Chillingham) of innovative bursts are examples of the creativity of passionate people. Their passion is to improve the world. Their feats are worthy of note. Mungo MacCallum’s articles are a clever insight into what is going on in Canberra. I was with the government in

Value of trees I read the piece by David Lovejoy in last week’s Echo and was prompted to send you a link to the Thyer Tree Valuation Method published on the internet in 1997 (www. intercoast.com.au/thyer-p now www.intercoast.com. au/~thyer-p) that assists in putting a monetary value on mature trees. Perhaps developers and the Tweed Council might look at trees differently if they could see the value of trees in monetary terms. Of course we cannot put a monetary value on the importance of trees in creating a sense of place in all of us. I really enjoyed the liftout on ‘Your Sustainable Community’. It is very informative.

a window of opportunity into your future, so before gallivanting off to Party Central send a clear wish list to Central Casting for exactly what you want to achieve in the coming year. CANCER: Leo moon adds serious wow factor to this week before Virgo moon gets the job done and weekend Libra moon says now let’s go party. Innovation, optimism and originality are what this week wants, and it won’t be knocking back romantic advances either. LEO: Venus and midweek moon in Leo should render friends attentive, audiences appreciative, changes positive and have you calling the shots, just the way you like it. Your mane looks great, your mojo’s smoking, the old lion magic’s pumping, you’re altogether

adorable and this is your week. VIRGO: There’s not enough space to count the ways in which flowers, champagne, candle-lit dinners or whatever spells romance for you will make this week wonderful, despite its realworld shortfalls. If you’re old, solo or both, take life as your lover and romance that. No excuses please… LIBRA: This week’s astral energies challenge you to find a balance between hasty moves and considered commitment, enthusiastic participation and overdoing it. Venus in the sign of wild indulgence needs you treating yourself like the artwork you are, and TLC’s important both for yourself and towards others. SCORPIO: With the present star scenario

enhancing your personal charisma and enquiring mind, you’ll be channeling Confident Scorp. But this week won’t be controlled or pinned down – it’s you who’ll have to adapt, so stay open to suggestion and be prepared to adjust your perspective. SAGITTARIUS: With the potential to spice up your love life no end, what this decidedly exciting week lacks is stability and steadiness. You’re in a creative phase with big ideas brewing, but they may need quite a few trips back to the drawing board before takeoff. CAPRICORN: This week’s people may overestimate the potential of what they’re offering, so don’t take things literally or rely on promises: double check all information

and sources. Then Venus wants you spending more time with smart, charming, light hearted people as opposed to gloom and doomsters. AQUARIUS: Just as you were just thinking it must be time for some fun, Aquarian star futures forecast a few delightful surprises and delicious twists, so be as offbeat and outrageous as you please – this friendly, gregarious week laps it up and bangs on the table for more. PISCES: If you want to be off this week dazzling the populace with wild and whimsical ideas, your Neptunian allure’s certainly in a powerfully persuasive phase right now. But it’s one of those times when the simplest solutions are best, so stay away from complications.

CHESS

Ian Rogers

Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm With the dust barely settling on the Anand-Topalov World Championship match, attention has turned to the identity of the challengers for Anand’s crown. For the first time since the mid 1990s, the world title challenger will be decided by candidates matches between eight top players. World number one Magnus Carlsen will need to beat Azeri star Teimour Radjabov on home soil in the quarter-finals before he can contemplate a likely semi-final pairing against former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik. A win against Kramnik would earn the 19-yearold Norwegian a candidates final place against the winner of a probable Veselin Topalov versus Levon Aronian semi-final (provided Aronian beats Boris Gelfand). Thus Carlsen may well have to beat Kramnik, Topalov and Anand – the three players who have dominated the chess scene since Garry Kasparov’s retirement in 2005 – to become the youngest World Champion of all time. Of course none of these scenarios are certain. At the 23rd Torneo Magistral de Ajedrez Ciudad de Leon, Gelfand, the surprise winner of the World Cup in 2009, was matched in the final with hot favourite Aronian. After three rapid games Aronian

needed only a draw to take the title but Gelfand fought back, forced the match into a blitz playoff and then won both five-minute tiebreak games. Q This week’s spectacular game comes from the ongoing super-tournament in Poikovsky, Russia. Poikovsky 2010 White: E Sutovsky Black: A Onischuk Opening: Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Bc5 6.c3 0-0 7.d4 Ba7 8.Bg5 h6 9.Bh4 exd4 10.cxd4 Onischuk had lost a 2009 game with this risky system after the sharper 10.e5!? g5 but Sutovsky prefers to hold his assault back for the moment. 10...d6 11.Bxc6 bxc6 12.Nbd2 g5?! 13.Nxg5! A typical sacrifice, though Sutovsky had not prepared this line and was winging it. 13...hxg5 14.Bxg5 Re8 After 14...Bxd4 15.Nf3 is strong. 15.Qa4! Headed, indirectly, for the kingside! Instead 15.e5!? dxe5 16.Ne4 is met by the queen sacrifice 16...Nxe4!. 15...Rb8 Sutovsky felt that this must be the moment where Black could improve but he was not sure how, since 15...Re6 allows 16.e5! dxe5 17.dxe5 Rxe5 18.Qh4!. 16.Rae1! Re6 17.e5 dxe5 18.dxe5 Rxb2 19.Bxf6! ‘The simplest winning continuation was, of course, 19. Nf3,’ said Sutovsky. ‘However, it’s not that often that create a mating net so I decided not to deny myself the pleasure!’ 19...Qd4 20.Qa3! Rxf6 21.exf6 Rxd2 22.Re8+ Kh7 23.Rh8+! Not 23.Rxc8? Qxf2+!! and Black turns the tables. Now 23...Kxh8 loses to 24.Qf8+. 23...Kg6 24.Qg3+ Kxf6 25.Rxc8 Rd3 26.Qg8! 1-0 Now if 26...Qxf2+ White replies 27.Rxf2 check – and everything stops for check.

Strung Out (USA) & The Loved Ones (USA)

June 18 Coolangatta Hotel.

Laneous and The Family Yah and Georgia Potter Bubblin’ up out of the artisan hotbed that is Brisbane’s West End (yes, even Queensland has talent), Laneous And The Family Yah started as a community whisper and has now broken out into full bloom (or a virus, depending on your take). From the Big Day Out, to the screens of NME TV and recent rotation on Triple J, these dirty hip-hop soul groovers have been working hard at whatever it is they do to please themselves and the rest of us. They were spotlight artists on Triple J Unearthed in June 2009 and named amongst Hip Hop’s Hottest in J Mag’s City by City ‘Oz Hip Hop Special’. Grunty rudeboy 10 piece spectacle of soul and croon punk. Supported by Georgia Potter, Friday June 18, Soundlounge.

Strung Out's press claim they 'defined a genre and made it acceptable for punks to actually explore their instruments instead of only learning 3-chords.' That's a big statement given that punk is so often associated with three chords (played poorly and out of tune – but oh! what such attitude). So what have we here? The evolution of punk? Nouveau punk? Is this punk Full Scale Revolution with more than three colours Upon their return to the live to their palate? While it could circuit, the first show sold out be considered evolution at Melbourne's Evelyn Hotel to bring punk into the 21st century and what is available harmonically, what would Johnny Rotten say? Or indeed the recently passed Malcolm McLaren? Three chords made punk what it is and it takes balls of steel to get on stage in front of a desperate angry mob and give them an altered major MELISSA BARNARD AND seventh or a diminished chord. BRENDA JONES PERFORM JUNE 19, TWEED RIVER ART Everyone knows that is jazz poofter music and sounds shite GALLERY with distortion. We will have to wait and see if these guys are indeed nouveau punk or a pack of nouveau poofters. Support is by Philadelphia-based The Loved Ones (alumni of Kid Dynamite, The Explosion, Trial by Fire, The Curse and Paint it Black, if you’re keeping score).

before doors even opened. During their five year career (2001-2006), Full Scale performed stadium tours with Evanescence and Sevendust, recorded a debut 2003 album with LA producer Jay Baumgardner at NRG Studios in Hollywood, and signed to US label Columbia Records (Sony-BMG), all while living in North Hollywood and touring America with Hed-PE in 2005. Sounds like a script straight out of HBO's Entourage. June 19 Coolangatta Hotel.

Blind Lemon Claiming the title of 'Performers of the Year' by the Blues Association of Queensland, local ensemble Blind Lemon has built up a steady reputation as one of the state’s premier blues acts. Solid rhythms pump along with rockin’ guitar and wailing harmonica give Blind Lemon a contagiously energetic sound. Jamie ‘Jimmy Lips’ Symons powerful harmonica playing

drives the sound of his band – he came runner up in the Australian blues harmonica championship 2005. Blind Lemon perform Saturday June 26 in the main bar of the Currumbin RSL at 7pm.

Head, starting at noon on Saturday and weigh in at the Caba hotel at 9am sharp on Sunday. I used to spend a lot of time chasing greenback tailor so I had an idea where to head. My first spot, the north wall of the river mouth, was shut down. Next the south

wall, same thing. I headed to the beach down Fingal way, no luck again so I ended up giving Devil’s Island a crack, but that was a bit too dangerous, so I headed to the south side to a little known spot just near the beach where the cliffs end.

Here I caught what I thought was a nice tailor which turned into a dart when I landed it. So that was it, all dart no tailor. A very funny thing happened just as I noticed two local guys, Rusty and Steve, heading down the cliff in my direction. I had reeled my lure in very fast, stopped it near the rock ledge then jerked it up and over the snags, but instead of landing on the rocks behind me, two treble hooks went straight through the bottom of a can of drink I had opened, so as I lifted the still fizzing can back over the rocks the boys were just in time to see me fighting a DC (diet coke). I told them to cast in quick as there were still plenty there. I spent a lot of time chasing bream and it was good to see the sea bream showing up at the mouth of the Tweed. I landed two nice fish behind the Tweed hospital on 2.5cm berkely gulp shrimp, in the banana prawn colour on a 1/8oz jig head. The technique is to try and run the lure down the rocks to the sandy bottom. The fish will often follow it down. Good luck. Campbell. Consolation - Archie Campbell, Ray Dodds.

Surf photographers celebrate anniversary Four of Australia’s leading surf photographers will showcase their favourite surf photographs as part of an evening celebrating Surf World Gold Coast’s first anniversary on Friday, 25 June 2010 from 6.00pm-9.00pm. The event, to be conducted at Surf World’s museum in Currumbin is the brainchild of Gold Coast photographer Peter ‘Joli’ Wilson, one of the most respected photographers in the surfing industry. Other photographers who will be featured on the night include local Martin ‘Marty’ Tullemans, Australia’s Surfing Life Magazine contributor Tony ‘Harro’ Harrington and former photo editor of Australia’s Surfing Life magazine, Ben Ey. Each photographer has selected a couple of his favourite images and will tell his story about these photos and take

questions from the audience. ‘This night will be a great opportunity for people to actually meet and talk with the people behind the images,’ said Joli. ‘Our images are published in magazines and on websites around the world, and for a lot of people they may not be aware of how ‘the moment’ was captured’. Tickets for the event, including a light supper and drinks, are $15 per person and may be pre-booked or purchased at the door. Surf World Gold Coast is a museum dedicated to celebrating the history and culture of surfing. Officially opened in June 2009, it is located at Currumbin, and hosts an impressive array of surfing memorabilia including surfboards, photos, books and clothing. For more information call 07 5525 6380 or visit www.surfworldgoldcoast.com.

Anti-miscarriage drug The recent campaign for DES (diethylstilboestrol) Awareness Week (June 1-7) raised awareness of the anti-miscarriage drug, DES, given to women during pregnancy from 1938 to 1971 (and sometimes beyond). Women given DES and their children of that pregnancy are at higher risk of certain types of cancer and reproductive problems. It is important that people with known or suspected exposure to DES are aware of the vital special care they need.

dia coverage, the issue did not escape mention at this week’s Kingscliff and District Chamber of Commerce meeting. Business adviser Kym Kranen promoted the upcoming ‘Kids in Community’ awards, a new Tweed youth initiative aimed at recognising the positive contributions of young people. Calling on local businesses to get behind the awards, Ms Kranen said anti-social behaviour must be addressed by the community as a whole, not just by police. Coolangatta has received much attention in recent months, with Channel 9’s A Current Affair airing a follow-up story this week to its hidden-camera exposĂŠ on drunken, anti-social behaviour in the town, now dubbed ‘Coolanghetto’. However, not everyone agrees with the unflattering moniker, with talkback radio callers from across the Tweed and Gold Coast divided on the the problem.

Five years ago, the NSW Labor government sacked the council led by then mayor Warren Polglase after an inquiry found it was controlled by ‘puppets’ of developers. In September 2008 the former mayor was again

elected to council and last year struck it lucky by winning the mayoralty out of a hat. Now the same government which showed Cr Polglase the exit door has honoured our mayor for ‘outstanding service’, with none other than premier Kristina Keneally presenting him the award at a ceremony in Sydney last week. A council release says the mayor was ‘genuinely surprised’ to receive the award, which is given to councillors serving at least 20 years in local government. Backburner ventures to add the mayor was not alone in his surprise. Q Q Q Q

A photo we published last week of a worker spraying poison in a riparian zone at a controversial development site at Creek Street, Hastings Point, was not Athol Youngblutt, the caretaker of the property. Mr Youngblutt states he was misidentified by the resident who took the photo and was not on the property when a team of maintenance workers were clearing vegetation last Thursday and Friday, sparking complaints to council which ordered further work to stop. Mr Youngblutt said a

People at the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park in Chinderah fear the amenity of their beloved park will be destroyed forever if the adjoining tidal waterway which attracts fish and birdlife is concreted over for a road to accommodate an industrial subdivision. They are rallying in protest at the park this Sunday, June 20, at 10am. They say Tweed Council’s approval of the development and the building of the 600-metre stretch of road on the unformed Ozone Street behind the park is just not on, especially as they and other neighbouring residents were not consulted in the development process, a hitch council has since promised to address.

our Socceroos in the World Cup. Sam tells Backburner that Aussie fans were ‘in full voice’ as they walked from their hotel to the stadium before the game against Germany, with many locals also joining in the ‘Aussie Aussie Aussie’ catchcry. We will draw a veil over the game itself.

A local Maroons supporter almost found herself playing for the other team last week. She came across a friendly match between the NSW State of Origin side and the Cudgen Hornets at Ned Byrne Field. After a pass by Jarryd Hayne went astray, the ball landed at the reader’s feet. She promptly passed it back, receiving an enthusiastic thumbs up and wink from former NSW Origin great and assistant coach Andrew ‘Joey’ Johns. ‘You should have held onto the ball a bit longer, then you might have got a kiss,’ quipped another onlooker. The Blues side have been holed up at luxury Kingscliff resort Mantra on Salt Beach ahead of their second round Origin clash in Brisbane.
