Waterway fight taken to MPs Luis Feliu

Planning minister Tony Kelly has referred concerns over a controversial Chinderah development which would destroy a popular waterway to his department for a closer look. Residents of the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park have taken the fight to protect their much-loved waterway to state parliament with a petition signed by more than 550 people tabled last month. Tweed Shire Council has approved plans to build a 630-metre road over the tidal creek, which runs alongside the unformed Ozone Street next to the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park, and replace the waterway with concrete pipes.

No consultation The controversial plan, to accommodate a four-lot subdivision near Anne Lane, was given the green light last year by a majority of councillors, despite hundreds of residents from surrounding caravan parks not being consulted over it. It is believed some of the councillors deciding the issue failed to inspect the site before casting their vote. Council has since moved to remove the anomaly whereby only a caravan park manager or owner are entitled to comment on plans affecting parks, which on the Tweed house thousands of permanent residents. Mr Kelly, responding to the petition calling for the approval to be rescinded and to prohibit any interference with the waterway, said he had asked his department’s Grafton office to ‘note the concerns raised by the petitioners’. A spokesman for the minister told The Echo that affected residents could

take the matter to the Land and Environment Court. Cr Katie Milne was the only councillor to oppose the plan, which still requires state fisheries and water agencies to sign off on it before building can start. Two weeks ago, dozens of residents voiced their anger during a protest on site, addressed by Crs Milne and Kevin Skinner and televised regionally. Cr Skinner told residents last week he raised the issue with council staff, who he said had been talking to the developer about an alternative entry/ access route and he would keep them informed on any progress. Tweed MP Geoff Provest has also helped the residents by tabling the petition in parliament. Park resident Lynda Mack says that despite the mayor, developer and some staff calling the waterway a ‘drain’ the creek was shown on an 1897 survey map as a natural tidal waterway. ‘We just can’t believe they want to destroy this beautiful waterway which has been there forever, it’s such a prolific fish breeding area and home to many birds and other wildlife,’ she said. ‘Even council staff said acid sulfate runoff as a result of the development could be a problem with inadequate safeguards proposed, so that too would seriously impact on the river downstream.’ Mrs Mack said the developer could easily have sought an alternative access other than Ozone Street, as the subdivision site is much closer to Anne Lane. She said the developer and council planners used a flimsy excuse that the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA)

Farmers feast aids B’bar hall

Farmers have been the lifeblood of the Burringbar School of Arts Hall throughout its 106-year history, so it’s no surprise that they’re once again at the forefront of renewed efforts to ensure its survival. The hall, which has served three generations of Burringbar residents and remains a central part of community life, has recently come under threat due to a $1,000 hike in annual insurance costs. In a bid to offset the hefty $6,000 annual fee, committee members are organising a Winter Farmers Market Feast to take place on Sunday, July 11. The event features a mouth watering degustation menu made from fresh local ingredients donated by farmers across the region. This is the second farmers feast to continued on page 2 take place at the hall, with the last event

through farmers markets, so we really hope this will promote the importance of buying local food and supporting the local economy,’ she said. First up on the menu is an antipasto platter, followed by specially created main course, the Turduckenail, turkey stuffed with duck, chicken and quail and prepared by resident Burringbar butcher, Brett. Local produce including fruits, beef, nuts, coffee, wood fired breads, beer and cheese will also be available for sale throughout the day. In keeping with the rural theme guests will be able to watch the afternoon milking of cows from the verandah. Tickets are $40 per head. To book call 02 6677 1111 or email tweedcheese@ bigpond.com

raising some $3,700. When the hall first ran into financial problems some years ago, local farmers rallied together to hold a livestock auction, helping raise much needed funds. Built by local farmers in the early 1900s as a school of arts, the hall now hosts a wide range of important community events including school discos, wedding ceremonies, P&C meetings and fundraisers. Today, rising insurance and maintenance costs means the hall remains entirely dependent on community support for its survival. Hall committee and trustee member Sue Harnett said the idea for the farmers market feast was in keeping with the hall’s heritage and would help promote local produce. ‘A lot of farmers produce is now sold

David led from the altar to sculpture Kate McIntosh

A bit of divine intervention saw South Tweed cabinet maker David Walsh finally pursue his childhood love of sculpture. David was installing altar furniture for St Joseph’s College at Tweed Heads some six years ago when he heard the school was on the lookout for an artist to complete a sculptural work depicting the crucifixion of Christ. Although not religious himself, David was subsequently commissioned for his first major work. The finished installation measured two metres in height and took two months to complete. Since then he has gone onto exhibit works in Sculpture by the Sea in Sydney and Sculpture in the Vineyards in the Hunter Valley wine region. Recently he was commissioned By Gold Coast City Council to complete a sculptural maze at Kurrawa Pratten Park at Broadbeach, as part of an all-abilities playground, designed to cater for people with special needs. Closer to home David’s sculptural work can be viewed at the artsCape Biennial 2010 in Byron Bay, at Clarkes Beach Reserve, until July 11. David is among 65 local,

national and international artists selected to take part in the outdoor exhibition of environmental sculpture. Sculptors have used their medium to highlight issues of environment and sustainability, including marine conservation, ecology, air quality and indigenous culture. Sculptures vary in scale from small, intimately engaging works to large scale installations.

David’s featured sculptural work, titled ‘Natural Motion.’ is based on themes of renewal. ‘It symbolises birth and rebirth, life and death,’ he said of the work constructed from steel and sandstone. David said his creative streak stems from childhood. His father ran a steel fabrication business from home and David clearly recalls playing on the floor as a child among wood piling and tools.

‘I’ve always dabbled, always been into design and sculpture and inventions,’ he said. Organisers have pledged five per cent of all sculpture sales commissions to the Northern Rivers Community Foundation, a philanthropic organisation which supports social, environment and cultural projects in the region. More information about the event can be found at www. artscapebiennial.org.

Shady Lane loses its friendly shade

Kate McIntosh

Angry Banora Point residents have slammed Tweed Shire Council for chopping down a huge Forest Red Gum tree which was deliberately poisoned, saying its removal is a disaster for the area’s biodiversity. Shady Lane resident Leonie Seedsman told The Echo the tree, which had graced the site

for almost 100 years, had been a haven to a huge variety of native birds and had once housed koala colonies. Ms Seedsman is angered by council’s decision not to conduct community consultation prior to the tree’s destruction, saying other options should have been explored. Council has defended its decision saying the tree’s deterio-

rating condition posed an immediate threat to public safety which overrode community or environmental concerns. ‘Consultation is not necessarily appropriate in matters of public safety. The tree had been determined to be unsafe and presented unacceptable risks, these are not issues that consultation can resolve,’ said council’s manager of recreation services Stewart Brawley. Council plans to affix a sign to the remaining four-metrehigh stump in a bid to shame the perpetrators. Similar signs have been erected along the Tweed Coast in areas where tree poisoning has occurred to improve beachfront views. At council’s last meeting Greens Cr Katie Milne, backed by Cr Barry Longland, pushed for the planting of two mature replacement trees on the site, but the majority of councillors opposed the move.

Council proposes a people’s panel A randomly chosen online panel of 800 Tweed residents and ratepayers is at the heart of a new strategy to engage the community in its decisions. The ‘citizens panel’, is expected to be made up of a wide range of people from urban, rural and coastal areas. Tweed mayor Warren Polglase says the panel’s size and the random selection process would ‘ensure council can be confident the feedback it provides accurately represents the views of our community’. Tweed Shire Council is inviting individuals and groups to have their say on its draft ‘Community Engagement Strategy’,

which aims to provide a ‘blueprint for effective and consistent public consultation’. The plan has gone on public exhibition on council’s website, libraries and civic centres until August 3. A council press release says the strategy ‘identifies the most effective methods of involving the Tweed community in council’s strategic planning and decision making processes. It aims to ensure the community has the greatest access to information and opportunity for input, while providing council with the best possible feedback’. Cr Polglase said the strategy made the most of ‘on-line en-

gagement’ and new technologies, while retaining traditional print and face-to-face forms of information and consultation. ‘Council’s consultation for each project will employ a variety of these methods, so it is easier for people to get involved. That will encourage greater participation and ensure feedback represents the broad Tweed community,’ he said. The community panel, an upgraded website, community displays and ‘stakeholder collaboration’ will form part of the new strategy. To view the plan visit www. tweed.nsw.gov.au and click on ‘On Exhibition’.

Ms Seedsman said she was devastated by the decision to remove the tree, saying any replacement tree would take up to 70 years to reach the same level of maturity. ‘Put it this way, the street is called Shady Lane and we’ve lost our shade,’ she said. ‘This tree was the hallmark of the street. This is a loss not just for residents, it is a major loss in terms of our bird ecology.’ Ms Seedsman said council needed to accept some responsibility for allowing residential development immediately below the tree.

Justine welcomes Julia, PM

National Parks under threat

Luis Feliu

Moves to open up iconic National Parks in NSW to commercial tourist enterprises catering to the top end of the market has been condemned by the Greens Party. Under new legislation passed in the state’s Upper House, elite tourist resorts could be developed in some of the state’s most pristine natural areas including World Heritage listed sites in the Tweed and northern NSW region. NSW Greens MP Ian Cohen said the Bill threatened the integrity of the state’s National Parks and would ultimately come at the expense of the environment and general public. ‘This Bill will now make it easier for the public to be excluded from some parts of National Parks with private operators being granted exclusive access,’ said Mr Cohen. ‘The Government is sending a clear message to the public about the future enjoyment of some National Parks – if you can’t pay, stay away.’ The Greens have slammed the legislation as a misguided attempt to boost tourism numbers, saying commercial development and its associated infrastructure such as powerlines, roads and waste services could have a potentially devastating impact on to the biodiversity of National Parks.

Richmond MP Justine Elliot had her mind firmly on Labor winning the upcoming federal election when she welcomed the appointment of the country’s first female prime minister Julia Gillard last week. Mrs Elliot told media she was prepared to support Ms Gillard at the caucus meeting ballot last Thursday morning, just before Kevin Rudd stood aside. Political observers say polls leading up to the meeting suggested Mr Rudd’s government was in trouble heading into an election this year and many MPs switched allegiance as a result, including Mrs Elliot, the Minister for Ageing in the Rudd and now the Gillard government. In her statement, Mrs Elliot referred three times to the possibility of the coalition taking power at the next election. ‘Julia Gillard means a change, a renewed focus on improving the economy and services for hard-working Australians,’ Mrs Elliot said. ‘Public services and basic rights at work are now under real and serious threat from an opposition that we have to defeat. ‘We can’t sit back and watch this opposition win an election and take away the essential ser-

vices Australians rely on, the extra doctors and nurses we need, the trade training centres for apprentices, the computers in schools and the broadband infrastructure so crucial for our future. ‘The Labor Party cannot sit back and watch this opposition restore the extreme workplace laws we fought so hard

to reject in 2007, the threats to overtime, to penalty rates, holiday loadings and the removal of protections for unfair dismissal.’ Mrs Elliot holds Richmond with a fairly safe eight per cent margin, but the decline in Mr Rudd’s popularity threatened to make the seat once again a marginal one.

Pet dogs ‘terrorising’ wildlife Luis Feliu

The dogs are barking at Casuarina, but for the wrong reasons, according to some residents who fear unleashed pet dogs are killing native wildlife. The residents, who declined to be named due to fear of reprisal, told The Echo that several households were the culprits, allowing their dogs to roam at will day and night. As a result, one resident will not walk her dog alone as she says all too regularly, unleashed dogs run up to her pup. ‘I don’t know whether the dogs will attack my pup or not, I just don’t want to take the chance.

It is not uncommon to see dead animals around here, wallabies, bush turkeys, rabbits, clearly they have been mauled by a dog or dogs. It’s disgusting!’ Another resident said wallabies were often seen around the housing estate, especially at night, but ‘neighbours from hell’ and their pet dogs were ‘terrorising’ the wildlife and other residents. One resident said the last straw for her was when a wallaby carcass was dumped near her back fence a few weeks ago. More recently another one was dumped on her driveway. ‘It was sickening, someone had dragged the poor wallaby

down our driveway, obviously in a sick attempt to send me a message,’ the woman told The Echo. She put up a sign next to the carcass (see picture) in the hope that one of the neighbours heard or witnessed something. The sign read, ‘I was killed and dumped here by someone in this neighbourhood. Sadly I am the second wallaby in the last 10 days to be killed and dumped. If you know my killer or saw who dumped me call the editorial team at The Echo on 02 6672 2280.’ (We will pass on any relevant information to authorities.) The woman said the wallaby disappeared the next day and she was still trying to find out who disposed of it. ‘I believe we have been targeted as we have told a couple of residents their dogs should be on leads,’ the woman said. ‘We have had to bury and or dispose of so many dead animals since we moved to the beachfront area of Casuarina. It is disheartening to say the least.’ A non-exhaustive list includes countless rabbits, bandicoots, baby bush turkeys and now of course two dead wallabies over a 10-day period. ‘The sad realisation is that there is little respect for nature even in an area like Casuarina,’ the resident said.

NAIDOC celebrations lead the way A week-long celebration of all things indigenous gets under this Sunday (July 4), with a packed program ahead. A flag raising ceremony will take place at 9am at Minjungbal Museum to kick off this year’s NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) celebrations. Next Monday (July 5) the museum will host a Cultural

Day and children’s reptile show from 10am. In keeping with this year’s NAIDOC theme ‘Unsung Heroes – Closing the Gap by Leading Their Way’, the museum will announce its annual induction to the Aboriginal Hall of Fame the following day. A family day will also be held at Southern Cross University’s Gold Coast campus at Bilinga on July 7 from 10am-2pm. The event will feature music, arts and crafts, information stalls, face painting, hip hop and didgeridoo workshops, cultural performances, a jumping castle, sausage sizzle and kids’ activities.

The hip hop workshops will be led by ‘The United Nations of Hip Hop’, a 30-member group who recently took out first place in Stylin’ Up, Australia’s biggest Indigenous-run hip hop festival. Other celebrations across the Tweed include a Sports Day and Community Health Expo at Arkinstall Park on July 7 from 9am, as well as the NAIDOC baby show and judging of Mr and Miss NAIDOC on July 8 from 10am at the HACC Centre, South Tweed Heads. Meanwhile, a series of short films by renowned and upand-coming Aboriginal performers and producers will be on showcase at Byron Bay’s Arakwal NAIDOC film festival, ‘New Black’. The event will be held on July 7 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. Tickets are available at the door, with films commencing at 7.30pm. Tweed celebrations will conclude on July 9 with a street march beginning at Jack Evans Boat Harbour and a NAIDOC dinner dance. The public are invited to attend all events. NAIDOC week is held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait people.

Local News Advice from the Chief Product Tester Dear product tester, In previous weeks I’ve heard you give advice on finding women. I’ve tried everything you’ve said and still can’t manage to find one, HELP!! I’m desperate, Slim. Dear Slim, Obviously the normal pick up places aren’t working for you. (Are you sure your name is Slim??) So you’ll have to look further a field. Looks like a road trip is on the cards. GO west young man! First things first, come in and see us at Outdoorism and we’ll set you up for the long drive out west. You’ll need to look needy, so you’ll have to camp. What you need is a good swag, nice and warm for these chilly nights, better make it a double swag, just in case. You also need a billy, maybe some flint (to light your campfire at night) girls really dig the rugged outdoorsy type. You’d probably better get yourself a solar shower, don’t want to put them off with the smell. I hear a new series of ‘farmer wants a wife’ is just about to start if you can hang around the set there’s sure to be a few disappointed castoffs. I’ve always found that rejected women aren’t that fussy. If that doesn’t work, the B&S balls are always the go. Everyone gets so drunk that you’ll look like Tom Cruise, how can you lose! Good luck Slim. Tony

Tweed women go wild for adventure Kate McIntosh

They’ve dubbed themselves the ‘Wild Women’. That’s hardly surprising considering their wilderness exploits have included an endurance race, skinny dipping and exhausting mountain treks. The informal social network, comprising of women from the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane regularly participate in outdoor adventure pursuits. Activities have included sailing, kayaking, bike riding, pilates sessions, camping trips and challenging wilderness treks. The concept was first hatched last year at a children’s playgroup session by a small group of women keen to maintain an outlet outside of their family and career commitments. Group member Lisa Flower said the network provided an important sense of female empowerment and encouraged women to step outside their comfort zone. ‘It’s basically about getting together and connecting as individuals rather than as wives and mothers,’ said the Murwillumbah mother-of-two. The women come from a diverse range of backgrounds and range in age from 25 to

50-plus. Their ranks include an interpreter, environmental scientist, teacher, psychologist and stay-at-home mums. ‘We’ve all been active but have had to put a stop to it

in our own time at one point or another because of other commitments, so this (group) has become a real outlet and great women’s bonding time,’ Lisa said.

One of the most ambitious events taken up by the women was the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge. The women trained for five months in order to be fit for the event in which teams of four people trek a 96km course through the Gold Coast Hinterland within a 39-hour time limit. The women have also tackled treks on Hinchinbrook Island in North Queensland and Tasmania’s famous Overland Track. The women’s love of adventure has resulted in some close calls, concedes Lisa. While scaling Queensland’s Mt Barney, a distressed team member had to be assisted down the mountain after suffering extreme exhaustion. On another occasion, group members had to be rescued after their kayaks capsized during a wild storm on the Gold Coast. Ms Flower said the incidents had lead the group to becoming more safety oriented. ‘Through this gradual process we’ve had to become more prepared and really increased our safety precautions,’ she said.

Little school’s vision is crystal clear

Ten more students may not seem a lot at most schools but going from 65 to 75 students this year meant a whole new classroom for the students at Crystal Creek Public School. And for a small but mighty school like Crystal Creek, which like to make sure they can offer everything their bigger neighbours have, it also means more fundraising. So when it came time to work out how the money from this year’s 25th annual fireworks spectacular, held at the school last month, would be spent, it was academic, according to principal Brad Davis. ‘The new classroom didn’t 6 July 1, 2010 The Tweed Shire Echo

have an interactive whiteboard, like the existing ones. It looks like we have raised about $7,000 this year which is about what one of them costs,’ he said. And if you haven’t ever seen one work, in simple terms an interactive whiteboard allows the teacher to display computer programs and pictures on a big screen as well as being able to write on the screen like a normal whiteboard. Mr Davis said the fireworks spectacular, which has become one of the major family events on the Tweed’s social calendar, was an important fundraiser for the school. ‘We only have around 40 families at this school which makes it hard to raise signifi-

cant amounts for resources, but this event attracts amazing support from the wider community.’ He said a lot of local businesses donated prizes for the raffles and other games meaning a lot more profit for the small school. And just because the event is held by one of the region’s smaller education facilities didn’t mean it was small on fun, with everyone from the Dragon Fly Martial Arts Group to the Chillingham Belly Dancers, Hot Chilli Drummers and even the Murwillumbah East Primary School Choir getting in on the act and keeping the crowd of more than 2,000 well and truly entertained. www.tweedecho.com.au

the time was right she made herself available. But it was Labor’s parliamentary caucus that pulled the trigger. Rudd insisted that he had been elected by the Australian people, and in the broad sense that is true: the last election was all about Kevin 07.

by Mungo MacCallum cus gives, it can take away, as it showed last week. True, the manner of the execution was as ruthless as it was unexpected: Gillard’s loyalty persevered to the last minute, and might have lasted beyond that if it had not been for the public revelation that Rudd’s chief minder, Alister Jordan, was testing it out. Jordan and Rudd’s other whiz kid, Lachlan Harris, have been among the few not to claim credit for their boss’s decease, but they are being overly modest. Their arrogance and thuggery, their ignorance and scorn of Labor history, tradition and processes did as much to isolate Rudd from his colleagues inside and outside parliament and to turn a potentially friendly press gallery into enemies as did Rudd’s own abrasiveness and his monomaniac belief that he could do it all himself. And it was this, of course, that finally brought things to a head. The Australian Labor Party is a collective, formed as a huge political union embodying the

describes as ‘the Sussex Street Death Squad’, saw the problem rather differently: ‘He’s stopped listening to me.’ There were others who felt equally snubbed and they had no trouble mobilising resentment among the lesser figures who had never enjoyed privileged access in the first place. And thus the scene was set. The speed of the execution was indeed unprecedented, but the circumstances were not. Rudd was a prime minister deposed by his party after winning just one election and in his first term in office; and so was John Gorton when cut down to make way for Billy McMahon in 1971. In both cases the party’s powerbrokers felt that their own base was threatened by the leader’s unorthodox behaviour, his failure to consult and his willingness to ignore time-honoured (some would say hide-bound) procedures. They felt that they needed to return to a safe, traditional leader who would follow their rule book. But not only did they pick a dud in McMahon; they

, \ĂŠ

elected Gorton as his deputy, a handicap too great for any leader to bear. It is a memory Gillard might bear in mind when she is considering a role for Kevin Rudd in her government. And while on the subject, she should be very wary of rewarding the chief plotters in her forthcoming reshuffle. She can probably get away with promoting Bill Shorten, who is both competent and popular, but any gift for the sinister senators behind him would lead to justified accusations of puppetry. The loss of Lindsay Tanner, who in a better world would have been prime minister himself, is grave enough; to load the ministry with apparatchiks and time servers would be suicidal, as would any apparent acquiescence to demands for a policy change, particularly on the delicate matter of asylum seekers. And one final piece of gratuitous advice: the honeymoon is on, so use it. A new leader has every excuse to call an early election to confirm a new mandate. If they hadn’t started already, the opposition’s shit-unit and the gutter trawlers of the media will be raking through her past in search of scandal. They will probably find nothing much; as with Bob Hawke’s drinking and womanising, Gillard’s status as a single woman with a left wing background and the consequences thereof is already known and accepted. But she might remember what the tabloids did to her old mate Mark Latham, and not take the risk. And a final piece of history for Tony Abbott: the last Liberal leader to claim the scalp of a prime minister in office was John Hewson, whose Fightback! package provided the opportunity for Paul Keating to bushwhack Bob Hawke. Abbott was working for Hewson at the time, and saw the triumph crumble to disaster. The nightmare must now be very vivid.

No expertise shown over Ozone Street On last week’s Echo front page there was a quote from council’s chief planner Vince Connell stating, ‘Council officers draw on their substantial expertise and professional judgement in forming their recommendations.’ I laughed so much I fell off my chair! Where was their substantial expertise or professional judgement when they approved the natural waterway destruction and all the tree removal at Chinderah? The waterway that Warren Polglase told NBN News TV ‘is a drain and it has always been a drain as far as I am aware’ is described in council’s own specialist planner/ecologist’s report, where it states, ‘The historical photos from 1962 show it clearly as a natural waterway’. It also states ‘the significant protected species/vegetation must be protected’! Can this council with their substantial expertise and professional judgement read? It reminds me of that expression ‘it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as ignorant and stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt’! Len Mack

Chinderah After seeing Mr Polglase on television stating the creek running along Ozone Street is only a drain and now out of council’s hands, I think he needs to check the council’s own planner/ecologist’s report which states it is a natural waterway. He does not seem to care that they are destroying nature, but they are also putting people’s lives in danger by causing more flooding and not leaving an outlet for the people who live in the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park. Maybe he should give back

Gagged over mayor’s pay rise When I tried to discuss the argument against the councillors’ maximum pay rise, especially in regard to the mayor, the meeting exploded into chaos. I was denied my right to speak for five minutes, my right to propose an amendment, and even my right to move a motion of dissent. I was threatened to be thrown out by Cr Youngblutt, which was vehemently backed up by Cr van Lieshout. The mayor’s allowance of over $50,000 is an extra $35,000 on top of the councillors’ rate of $15,500. I began by highlighting that the mayor received more than three times that of councillors and lightheartedly equated this to approximately $2,000 extra per event attended. This was when the outrage began. Now I add to the list of the mayor’s failings a complete lack of appreciation for irony and inability to accept criticism, as well as multiple abuses of the code of meeting practice. What I was seriously trying to point out was the mayor’s failure to fulfill the council’s adopted ‘Tweed Futures’ 20

year vision strategy. People may remember that this Tweed Futures Strategy had major resource allocation to facilitate enormous input by the community, including via survey. The strategy clearly articulated the community’s love for the environment and their concerns about overdevelopment. The strategy has 37 actions, the first being a review of all council’s policies for sustainability to underpin all of council’s actions. The establishment of a number of advisory panels was also called for to assist with urban design, the Tweed Heads CBD, the rural sector, TEDC, tourism, community development, low-cost housing and open space. The last page of the Tweed Futures Strategy is key as it clearly states that the steering committee was to be retained to drive the strategy. The mayor would be very familiar with this as he was chairman of the steering committee at the time. It is my belief that the exclusion of the community from this steering committee process is why this

council seems to be floundering without direction, and one of the many areas where I believe the mayor has seriously under achieved in his performance. I am wondering if the premier, Kristina Keneally, knew that she gave her outstanding long-service award to the man who led this council when the Labor government sacked him in 2005. I call on the mayor to immediately re-instigate the ‘Tweed Futures’ steering committee or to step down from the job. Cr Katie Milne

Agreeing left and right

■ Mayor Polglase deserves credit for council’s stand against the state government’s cap of $20,000 per lot on developer contributions for greenfield developments across NSW. Longterm residents and ratepayers have to suffer more and more immigrants impacting our roads, infrastructure, beaches and built and natural environments, but having to subsidise wealthy mega-development corporations for these degrading impacts is both the last and the short straw. How very brave and unusual of council to vote against the developer lobby.

Now that I agree with Mr Polglase and Mr Hopkins, what is the world coming to? Or could it be that now everyone is starting to wake up to the mammoth expenses that Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes are going to hit current ratepayers and residents with. It’s not just the roads that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. They want their own special ‘Development Code’ which means that our normal standards for the sewerage network, for example, would not apply. If they build something below our normal standards and it does not work, in a few years, who gets stuck with the bill? Lucky us, I guess.

Taking advantage of a right of reply local business to Sydney-based firms appears to be a point of celebration by your reporters, it will simply ensure a transfer of legal knowledge and skills and resources out of Murwillumbah to Sydney, knowledge and skills built up over many years and not easily replaced. Second, the mortgage scheme problems had nothing whatsoever to do with a merger as suggested in your headline, but was in fact a purchase of partnership shares in a normal business transaction. The franchise occurred much later. Your headline somehow connecting the two is entirely false. In fact the sale was in spite of the mortgage business not because of it. This alone demonstrates a difficult position was handled correctly – a position I had to handle but did not cause. Also, the Law Society of NSW did not meet the investors’ claims – our insurance policy we had to cover any possible default by borrowers did. Third, the fact that a result of a failed partnership with a Gold Coast firm caused enormous financial problems for us is a fact. That we were solely responsible for all debt is not. However, name changes were legal requirements and you imply, it seems, that we should

have undertaken some media campaign to highlight our difficulties. As I write we have continued to meet all our clients’ needs, are regrowing our business and will continue for another 100 years, despite our set-backs – which is obviously bad news for some. The metamorphosis of our business over many years is in direct response to a changing commercial world. We can see that securing the employment of many, ensuring all superannuation payments and entitlements of those retrenched were paid, ensuring we met all on-going services to our thousands of clients by pledging my personal assets after the failed business venture is apparently cause for implied criticism. Obviously we should have let the business totally fail at the outset and met no commitments which is the thrust of the sentiments expressed in your article. We must have been the only business in the world affected by the GFC. Finally, the Daly Report nonsense tells a small part of the real story. If his so-called blistering attack on me had any basis at all and the allegations he made were true I would not be holding an unrestricted Practising Certificate today. My

role was examined by the council administrators appointed after the council sacking and the Legal Services Commission and no impropriety was found. My role as an advocate for the Body Corporate of the council and council’s planning department was forceful and vigorous but that is how an advocate defends his client’s interest. Why you felt it necessary to print paragraphs of Daly’s nonsense comments about me simply betrays a malicious intent. Overall, your lack of knowledge of the council’s confirmed legal position by senior counsel concerning a denial of natural justice and possible proceedings is obviously one of a number of inconvenient truths about the Daly Inquiry you have never published. That includes the clearing of council’s professional officers by a state government-appointed investigation. This only confirmed the denial of natural justice position. It is probable you will have achieved your aim with many and harmed my good name and reputation irrevocably, but not with those who know me or the real truth of the matters you have referred to.

I would like to draw your attention to the large ad about koalas in this week’s Echo. The only thing that has saved the koalas at Kings Forest so far has been members of the public willing to stand up for them and ask their needs be taken into account in building a huge new mini-city on their home. The developer stands to make huge amounts of money from approval of this development, surely he can do the right thing by the current inhabitants? Please write or email the minister, and help give our animals a fighting chance. Thank you to The Echo and your many readers for their help so far. Jenny Hayes

Rally spin dissected

Of course rally proponent Gary Connelly should have no fear that the report to parliament reviewing the Repco rally will prove the event failed to live up to its promises. The report was commissioned by Homebush Motor Racing Authority for disgraced NSW minister Ian Macdonald and most likely tailored to tell the minister what he wanted to hear. Connelly knows that no independent cost-benefit analyTony Smith sis has been undertaken and Murwillumbah the report’s author is relying

on submissions from Rally Australia and its secretive partner Events NSW. A postrally survey conducted by local watchdog group Tweed Monitor proved that local business gained no significant increase in profits due to the event. Many lost money. It really doesn’t matter what people ‘think’ about this: there simply wasn’t a significant ‘additional spend,’ unless you count the millions of our tax dollars spent to put this hoon fest on. State government employees, especially 180 extra police, may account for a small increase in room rentals for the period. Where is the $30 million promised to our businesses? The next race should be in Lala Land where money grows on trees. I am amazed by Connelly’s claim that Rally Australia conducted a survey of residents’ opinions. I guess most residents simply were not at home when the friendly rally people came to call. Actually, Mr Connelly fails to submit proof for any of his claims! I suggest that he should try his hand at writing a novel because what he says is pure fiction. But are his tales fantasy, delusion, or something more sinister? The only ‘bang we got for our buck’ was the sound of rally cars hitting things (one tree stump claimed two com-

In 20 years I cannot recall a more concerted attack on a local person in the shire involved in a local business with your full page spread. The crude method employed by attempting to group three totally unrelated events on the one page was obviously to create a general impression by innuendo of something not right whilst claiming no specific wrongdoing because there is none. In order to assist this attempt was the employing of false headlines to somehow give some newsworthy basis for the article where there was none – unless attempted assassination of someone’s reputation and kicking a good local business whilst it goes through some tough times and undermine it further has become a local media sport. First, I am not council’s lawyer and have had no contract with council for over nine months. Despite your suggestion my firm has a contract, I have never seen or signed one. Council’s work, as far as I know, has been carried out by Sydney-based firms for at least two years, and my last proceedings filed in the Land and Environment Court this month was against council, not for it.

The wording of this health care they need. Much would lead any reader to assume that the surf club has reappreciated. Carol Devine ceived $1.8million. The truth is that council in DES Action NSW

1990 allocated $500,000 to replace an existing councilowned building that had been neglected for years. Council’s concession to the surf club at the time of reconstruction was to refuse to replace the building utilising council funds and flatly refusing to place the club on council land. When the surf club generously offered to put the community building on their privately owned land, council insisted that a mortgage of over $680,000 in their favour be granted. This is despite the funding coming from developer contributions

earmarked specifically for surf lifesaving. As to the concession on car parking/development contributions, why should a replacement building be subject to any new contributions? The article is also doggedly adhering to the position of council staff and the mayor that the deck is for entertainment purposes only. Cabarita Beach SLSC has never denied that the deck will assist in raising funds. The surf club should be encouraged in their efforts to raise funds for life saving as there is little financial as-

sistance from council or any other tier of government for recurring expenses. It seems that council want us to provide a free lifesaving service worth over $65,000 each year but also be willing to pay for the opportunity to do so. Further, if council officers were concerned about the ability of car parking areas within Cabarita to cope with increased patronage to the surf club, why then did they push forward with removing 12 car spaces from within Pandanus Parade as part of foreshore beautification? Council planning staff

were aware of the plans for a deck at the surf club when the Pandanus Parade project was approved. Over the past 18 months the overwhelming feedback I am receiving from the community is, ‘Don’t they know you are a surf club?’ With the current position of council on charging fees for the deck it seems that economic and bureaucratic bean counting is overriding service to the community.

heart and soul to versus what you’re ready to risk. You’re the detectives of the zodiac and this week’s brief is finding the silver lining in what without deeper examination look like dark clouds. SAGITTARIUS: This week’s sensitive energy requires non-confrontational, compassionate, touchy-feely tactics so think laterally and be aware of subtle signals. As usual, self-censoring could save a truckload of trouble, so think twice before hitting the send button. Even better, sleep on it. CAPRICORN: As your key relationships come under this week’s cosmic microscope, a magnum of Honesty Brut and lashings of indepth self examination will clarify necessary changes. Remember generous gestures are

highly effective in times of tightness – the more you give the more the universe pours your way. AQUARIUS: It’s big. It’s different. It’s about our planetary future, and doesn’t that excite Aquarians? This week stretches the doors of perception to the max as you adjust to an unusual occurrence or sudden shift in circumstance: a change of direction, job, house, partner, heart or mind. PISCES: All prayers are answered eventually, though sometimes the answer is no. You’re probably scoring a princess-and-the-pea rating on the Richter sensitivity scale right now, so disappointments will need creative handling. But you’re magical creatures: use your psychic abilities to morph them into strengths.

Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm This week world number one Magnus Carlsen won his third Grand Slam event of this cycle, the Kings Tournament in Bazna, Romania. Carlsen had already triumphed in Nanjing and Wijk aan Zee, though he saved a few blushes by skipping Linares 2010 – giving Veselin Topalov his chance a qualify for the Grand Slam Final beginning in Shanghai in September. Given Carlsen’s form in Bazna it is hard to see anyone other than Topalov challenging Carlsen for the Grand Slam trophy. The Norwegian 19-year-old has been back to his awesome best in Romania, remaining undefeated throughout the tournament, winning four consecutive games, and even experimenting with the venerable King’s Gambit. Carlsen has extended his lead at the top of the world rankings and moved into territory previously only surpassed by Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov at their peaks. Carlsen is still a teenager; how much higher he can go is anyone’s guess.

■ This week’s game sees Gelfand losing to Teimour Radjabov, who tied with him for second place, two whole points behind Carlsen. Medias 2010 White: T Radjabov Black: B Gelfand Opening: Petroff’s Defence 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 6.Bd3 Nc6 7.0-0 Be7 8.Re1 Bg4 9.c4 Nf6 10.Nc3 Inviting Gelfand to grab a pawn; an invitation he has taken often in the past and so was unlikely to refuse here. 10...Bxf3 11.Qxf3 Nxd4 12.Qd1 Ne6 13.Bf5!? 13.cxd5 Nxd5 14.Bb5+ is more usual. 13...c6 14.cxd5 Nxd5 15.Qg4! Nxc3 16.bxc3 0-0 17.Rb1 Qc7 18.Bh6 Bd6? Gelfand’s first misstep; ‘It didn’t show up on my computer when I was preparing, so I understood that something should be wrong with it,’ said Radjabov. On 18...Bf6 Radjabov had planned 19.Qh3 Rfe8 20.Bxh7+! but ‘after 20... Kf8 it’s a fight’ added the Azeri. 19.Qh3! Rfe8 20.Bxg7! Bxh2+ 21.Kf1! Kxg7 Radjabov was ready to answer 21...Ng5 22.Qh6 Qa5!? (intending to turn the tables after 23.Qxg5?? with 23... Qa6+!!) with 23.Bd3! 22.Qxh7+ Kf6 23.Bxe6 Bf4 Desperation, but after 23...Rxe6 24.Rxe6+ fxe6 25.Qh6+! Kf5 (25...Ke7 26.Rxb7!!) 26.g4+! Kxg4 27.Qg6+ Radjabov had worked the variations out until checkmate. ‘Mate saves a few hours and I get to see a few more football matches!’ explained Radjabov. 24.Qf5+ Kg7 25.Rb4! Rxe6 26.Rxe6 fxe6 27.Qg4+ Kh8 28.Rxf4 Qh7 29.Qxe6 Choosing a technical solution; ‘Probably I can win in many ways,’ said Radjabov. 29...Qh1+ 30.Ke2 Qh5+ 31.g4 Qb5+ 32.Kf3 Qd3+ 33.Kg2 Qd5+ 34.Qxd5 cxd5 35.Rf7 b5 36.Rd7 a6 37.f4 Rc8 38.f5 1-0

WE CAN BE HEROES Just last week another young person from our community took his life. A family has lost three sons. As a mother myself, it seems unbelievable that one family should be expected to bear so much sorrow. But it’s not just a family’s grief, it’s the grief of a community and a society. How do we as a community hold our kids? How do we

King Louie has been playing in the North Coast and Gold Coast region since 2000, and is best described as 70s rock. His repertoire is a mix of classic and current standards, through to some very catchy original provide the hand that cushions a fall, the resilience to survive adversity and a sense of self worth that permeates all hardship? Over one million people worldwide commit suicide every year – it is the leading cause of death among teenagers and adults under 35. We live in a culture that devalues ordinariness. To be successful, or to be perceived as worthwhile, you need to be exceptional. You need to be a slim, white, middle class, high achiever. You can’t be fat or black or gay or mentally ill, ugly, poor or drug-addicted. You can’t visit Centrelink. Heroes aren’t on social security. To be a hero you need to be someone like Jessica Watson. A privileged girl who was always going to do well. At 16 she’s got a book deal, a website and a career in motivational speaking. The media hype around young Ms Watson and her becoming the youngest

It made her, and most of her friends feel defeated. ‘Great, thanks Jess. You make everyone else feel like a loser.’ Teenagers can’t measure themselves against some fearless, fame-seeking freak. Most teenagers are flat out walking unassisted from the couch to the bathroom. They need a support crew the whole way. ‘Come on love, have a shower and go to bed. It’s 2am. You can do it.’ Where are the stories about ordinary people? It’s time we buried our so-called heroes, these shallow and achievable posters of success and searched for something more meaningful. Heroes are not teenagers in boats negotiating a savage sea, heroes are not silver-haired self-made millionaires with their own airline or botoxed actresses in designer clothes

who’ve forgotten how to eat or smile. Heroes are not politicians with big portfolios in budgie smugglers or people who swim fast. Heroes don’t climb mountains to be the first one with a flag or crash in the Congo looking for new mining interests. Heroes don’t front rock bands and sing about corporate accountability and then fill your roof with an incendiary device. And heroes certainly aren’t footballers on six figure incomes pack raping ‘loose’ women and then fronting their own TV shows. The stories that inspire are so ordinary they’re invisible. They are stories about people surviving, not achieving. Let’s float a new cultural value that recognises struggle and honours humanity at a more subtle level. In this new economy of role model I welcome the quiet hero. Not Jess, but the asylum seeker who survives six months on

Method The music that Bill Jacobi and Frank Corby make together has been described as an amalgamation of roots, folk, heartland rock and hillbilly funk. They have been keeping a long distance musical relationship alive for the better part of a decade, and have produced three albums and performed hundreds of gigs. ‘It really keeps it fresh’ says Bill ‘When you get on stage and you haven’t seen each other for months, there’s a real energy. an unseaworthy boat and then three years in a refugee camp, learns English, and then has to integrate into a hostile community. That’s a hero. And what about the bloke down the street who’s battled mental illness since he was in his early twenties, who’s been institutionalised and heavily medicated, but now manages to work one day a week and live independently? That’s a hero. And the woman who’s survived child sexual abuse, had a string of abusive relationships, but has found her way to counselling and had the courage to take out a restraining order on her violent partner to protect herself and her kids. That’s a hero. What about the long term heroin user with a string of petty break and enter offences, who’s pawned most of his and his mum’s belongings, has lied and scammed, but has managed

Austen Tayshus I might not get to the show but vegemite. As a self proclaimed 'superstar' of the stand up circuit, Austen Tayshus AKA Sandy Gutman is a fearless social agitator to get himself into detox, and then into a recovery program at The Buttery. That’s a hero. And what about a community which has lost the fight against an unwelcome multinational who wants to build a supermarket in their town, but they still have the energy to keep up the resistance, even when the battle’s lost? They’re heroes. Everyone of these tiny stories leaves nothing more than an ant print on the planet, but they’re the real heroes. Performing acts of heroism for cash is not bravery. It’s capitalism. It’s the stories of survival that have the ability to empower people. We’ve had enough of the ‘think big’ approach, let’s be socially and globally responsible and ‘think small’. Get rid of Ian Thorpe off my cereal and give me a picture of a recovering addict. Then we’ll have a whole lot more Weet Bix kids.

His shows can often end in tears and bewilderment for the unsuspecting audience – his verbal abuse is so unrelenting and personal that he has been known to make audience members leave in disgust or cry openly. I once saw a woman break down – a German no less – over her poor heckle attempts. Afterward the gig she approached him to make a truce. 'F#*@ off,' was his short answer, displaying what only can be described as true professionalism: he is an A hole both on stage and off.

fragmented broken twisted man who both despises and critiques the idiocracy and mediocrity of Australia. As the sole protagonist in this art, there is no one who comes close to what he does. Comparisons are useless because most comedians desire the respect and love of the audience, though there is of course the great late comedian Bill Hicks. There is a famous video of Hicks losing it at a Chicago crowd that is as close as you would get to one of Austen's routines. After a woman walks out from his abuse, Bill falls to the ground and screams: 'Hitler had the right idea, he was just an under-achiever! Kill 'em all

AUSTEN TAYSHUS CURRUMBIN CREEK TAVERN FRIDAY 2 AND SATURDAY AT THE IMPERIAL HOTEL MURWILLUMBAH

Adolf, all of 'em – Jew, Mexican, American, White – kill 'em all! Start over, the experiment didn't work! Rain – forty days please, f#*@n' rain and wash these turds from my f#*@n life – wash these human waste of flesh and bones off this planet. I pray to you God to kill these f#*@n people.' There is a subtle difference here however because Austen wouldn't say that – he's Jewish. The last time Austen Tayshus was relevant to Australian popular culture was in 1983: his spoken word song Australiana went to Number 1 and double platinum on the Australian singles chart. Ever since then he's been vomiting vile obscenities and cutting edge satire at whoever feel that they need it. He must need it, as he keeps a fairly consistent touring schedule. He performs two shows in the Tweed this weekend – Currumbin Creek Tavern on Friday July 2, (dinner show) starting at 7pm and the cost is $40. Bookings essential on (07) 5534 2322.

Tweed River Art Gallery Art is imitating life at the Tweed River Art Gallery, with a 2006 Archibald Prize finalist portrait of the new Prime Minister Julia Gillard moving from the back rooms to a prime position on the Gallery’s walls. Gallery Director Susi Muddiman thought this was the ideal opportunity to place the portrait on display, which was donated to the Gallery just this year through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gift Program. The oil and acrylic on linen portrait titled Julia is the work of Victorian artist Kathleen Vafiadis, who lives in the Prime Minister's electorate of Lalor. Ms Vafiadis has painted Ms Gillard’s portrait on a number of occasions. Julia was selected as a finalist and exhibited in the 2006 Archibald Prize when Julia Gillard was Shadow Health Minister. Gallery Director Susi Muddiman selected the work

for exhibition in 2008 in the Tweed River Art Gallery’s 20th anniversary ‘wish list’ exhibition entitled Wish You Were Here. 'The painting had an excellent provenance being a finalist in the 2006 Archibald Prize, and I thought it was an excellent portrait which really captured the politician. I also thought at the time that Ms Gillard was an important figure in Australian politics, and may one day be the nation’s first female Prime Minister.' Kathleen Vafiadis's portrait Julia is now on exhibition at the Tweed River Art Gallery.

Skeeter delivers Solano a stinger

Byron Reds give Gents the blues

David Solano

Geoff Campbell

Last week I mentioned the bream tournament being held on the Tweed and I sent an SMS to a mate of mine telling him about the bigger fish I’ve beencatching. He asked if I’d like to fish off his skeeter bream boat on Saturday morning – I jumped at the chance as Tristan Taylor is a great bream fisho. The skeeter is a dream fishing boat. It’s like one big platform with 200hp on the back. Tristan recently fished in the AFC on the Tweed and narrowly lost to Darren ‘Dizzy’ Borg and Ben Godfrey. Having a powerful boat like the skeeter gives you the ability to try a lot of different spots and that’s exactly what we did. I can’t tell you where we fished as Tristo keeps his spots close to his chest, but I must say most of the places we went I usually go straight on by, so I’ve discovered where and how to fish them. The problem being they are so far away (out of reach of a yak), that I’m going to struggle getting there. It’s funny, the week before I caught five legals in about four

The Gentlemen of Murwillumbah were beaten by a plucky Byron Bay side in a game that was at times both explosive and spiteful. Lack of discipline at crucial stages saw Crittles Gents going down 24-13. Twelve minutes into the game, the Gents played some great rugby and raced to 10 point lead and looking capable of causing a huge upset against a cocky Byron side that was clearly rattled. Settling down, Byron gained more possession enabling their classy backline to score out wide.The Gents were guilty of some poor kicking options with the wind at their backs, together with frustration at decisions not going their way resulted in a Gent being sin binned just before the break for oranges. The second half began as the first ended with some torrid exchanges in the forwards.The Gents began to tire, allowing Byron to add to their score. Matt Alexander playing his 100th for Byron had a great game – he will be terrific gain

hours. We caught a heap of little squeakers and only three legals, two caught by Tristo a 26 and 25cm and I landed a 28cm so it was pretty dismal really. We had a lot of fun though, trying a heap of different lures ranging from gulp shrimp to atomic hardz. The highlight was hooking onto something big in the seaway. Tristan had to run it down with the electric motor as whatever I had on was huge and peeling a lot of drag, half way along the south wall I eventually started to lift it, Tristan and I thought it might be a jewfish, I had to

go easy as I only had six pound leader. A crowd of people had gathered on the rocks to watch the fight, I said to Tristo if this is a stinger I’m breaking it off. Up came the leader knot and down in the murky water we spotted a stingray. The crew on the rocks were disappointed when I broke it off as I’m sure they wanted to see what I had on my little bream rod that was bent over double on itself. Another great morning on the Tweed. ■ If you have any fishing news you would like to share with David, phone 0415 747 969.

for the Gentlemen when he joins them next season. The Gentlemen were a vastly different team that won the previous week – injuries and other commitments forcing coach Peter Crittle to introduce players not familiar with the Gents style of play. Retaliation for an alleged offence caused another Gent to have an unwanted break in the bin. Brett Underwood, Chris Larkin and Lance Deakin

were the Gent’s best. Lance at half back again having another outstanding game. Hopefully, the Gentlemen will be able to run a full strength team onto the park at home against Iluka this Saturday.

Backburner Council last month asked staff to re-examine the controversial proposal for a bridge linking Lakes Drive with Kirkwood Road as a way of easing traffic congestion on Kennedy Drive. But planners have put the kybosh on a new bridge over the Terranora Inlet, saying it would be too expensive and arouse too much community opposition. ■ ■ ■ ■

Despite the proud boast by mayor Warren Polglase last January that he expected to be able to cut this year’s rate rise by at leat one per cent, the council at its last meeting endorsed the full 8.5 per cent rate increase contained in its sevenyear plan. His failure to deliver on his promise this year casts doubt on his other prediction that rises will be halved by 2012 because of the removal of a road levy in 2011. Meantime, as rates go up, so do councillors’ remuneration, but only by three per cent. Councillors voted to accept the maximum increase allowed by the local government remuneration tribunal, taking the mayor’s annual salary from $49,340 to $50,830 and councillors’ from $15,500 to $15,970.

Through a new study of honeybees, scientists at the University of Queensland’s Brain Institute have discovered the brain has an advanced ability to isolate specific odours and recollect smells. Lead researcher Dr Judith Reinhard said, ‘We’ve found that honeybees pick only a handful of so-called “key odorants” out of every complex aroma that they really learn. They may remember just two or three odorants from a couple of hundred, the rest are ignored.’ Colleague Dr Charles Claudianos said if you had to learn the hundreds of compounds your brain would be overwhelmed with information.

Zumba, a dance fitness program created in Colombia during the 1990s which combines Latin music with dance, has quickly gained worldwide popularity including right here on the north coast. Ocean Shores resident Sarah Kiley recently started running zumba classes ■ ■ ■ ■ in Kingscliff and Cabarita and says that zumba’s beat ‘gets North coast parents conyour feet and hips moving’ and cerned about school bullying

will be relieved to know that an inquest will be held into the death of Mullumbimby teenager Jai Morcom who died last August after a schoolyard brawl. A lengthy police investigation followed the death of the 15-year-old which sparked national publicity. The inquest it to be held in the Lismore Courthouse from January 31 next year and expected to run for around two weeks. It’s small consolation for Jai’s dad Steve Drummond, who at least will get a clearer picture of the events leading to the tragic death and perhaps see those responsible brought to justice. ■ ■ ■ ■

Tweed River Art Gallery’s director Susi Muddiman wasted no time in joining the Julia bandwagon following the deputy PM’s elevation to the top job last week. A 2006 portrait of the new prime minister which had been relegated to the gallery back rooms was whisked out to a prime position on the day the long knives came out in Canberra. The oil and acrylic portrait by Victorian artist Kathleen Vafiadis was donated to the gallery this year through the federal government’s cultural gift program. It was exhibited as a finalist in the 2006 Archibald Prize when Ms Gillard was shadow health minister. Susi said she thought it was an ideal opportunity to show the portrait again, but Backburner wonders how long it will hang before the veneer begins to fade.
