Karen’s Eliza dream comes true Tania Phillips

As a young teen at Kingscliff High School, Karen Oliver always dreamed of playing Eliza Doolittle, but it’s only now the talented musical performer will get her wish. Ms Oliver will bring the wonderful Eliza Doolittle to life in the Tweed Theatre Company’s new production of My Fair Lady at Twin Towns this weekend.

Directed by respected Gold Coast show producer Tracey Kriz and costarring Peter Gray as the urbane, world-weary upper-class snob Henry Higgins, the show features a 36-member ensemble and some impressive costumes. But for Ms Oliver, who has just finished a stint with Gold Coast Little Theatre in Showboat and Curtains for Spotlight, it is a chance to finally get her vocal chords around those classic Lerner and Loewe songs ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?’, ‘The Rain In Spain’, and ‘I Could Have Danced all Night.’ There’s also the thrill of speaking Bernard Shaw’s scintillating dialogue, much of which was left in the show when it was adapted from his classic play Pygmalion. And for the talented blue-eyed blonde with one of the most pow-

erful voices on the Tweed Coast, this production is a nice piece of synergy. ‘This was the first full-length show that I ever did. I was 13 and I really wanted to be Eliza. But I was too young to be the lead so instead I was the lady about town,’ she said of the Kingscliff High production back in the 1990s. ‘I always wanted to do the show and it never came around.’ That is, until now. The musical also reunites Ms Oliver with Tracey Kriz, who directed her in her first major senior role at age 15 in the Gold Coast production of Stop The World I Want to Get Off. My Fair Lady is on at Twin Towns, Tweed Heads, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $25 ($20 concession) and can be booked on 1800 014 014.

The NSW Police Force is seeking to exploit a loophole in planning laws to establish a new police station on protected farm land at Cudgen. The move is the first serious challenge to the Cudgen plateau’s unique agricultural status since the Anglican Church lost a court battle to build a school on another nearby parcel of prime farming land about 12 years ago (see panel, page 2). Senior police say the station is an emergency facility which can be built on the site without the consent of Tweed council or the government if they can convince them that no other suitable sites are available. They are asking the council to go against its Local Environment Plan which prohibits subdivisions of less than 10ha to create a 1.5ha allotment for a new Kingscliff headquarters at a cost of $4.5 million. A development application lodged by consultants acting for the force, Newton Denny Chapelle, says the site was chosen after four alternative sites were deemed unsatisfactory, mostly because none was as close to the motorway. ‘The subdivision provides the minimum area necessary for the construction and operation of the station… and provides sufficient land for the continuation of the existing agricultural land use of the newly created adjoining lot,’ the consultants say. The application, which is on public

exhibition until July 14, is expected to trigger a swag of objections from community and environmental groups who have been involved in a long-running battle to save the redsoil plateau from development. It’s also being watched closely by other emergency service agencies who have been searching for a flood-free site to consolidate their operations in a so-called super-centre close to the geographic centre of the shire. Former long-serving Mayor Max Boyd, who was part of a 10-man study team which resulted in the government classifying the plateau as agricultural land of State significance, says he’s confident the government will uphold its own planning policies. ‘The land is recognised as being in the top 10 per cent of agricultural land in Australia and has been given the highest possible level of protection,’ he said.

Thin end of the wedge ‘This new application if approved will be the thin edge of the wedge for further urban development in an area which should be preserved for farming activities.’ The land subject to the subdivision application belongs to the Kingscliff Land Company (KLC) which purchased the 39ha site in a joint venture deal with Coles Myer for $4.5 million in 2004 but has since been unsuccessful in two attempts to rezone the land for houses and a retail centre. continued on page 2

the crossroads of the shire. He said he did not believe KLC’s holding warranted its state significance classification. ‘The property has been sandmined and quarried and has only a few knobs of red soil,’ he said.

The purchase attracted national media attention when mortgage documents revealed KLC entered into a conditional arrangement with then sitting councillor Lynne Beck and her two sisters, to pay an extra $5 million if the land was rezoned before November last year.

A little history always helps… how developers have tried to turn the rich red soil into concrete The rich red farming soil of the Cudgen plateau has long been a prime target of developers and a rich source of political intrigue and skulduggery. The farms dotting the elevated site just to the west of Kingscliff boast sweeping ocean and mountain views which would become prime residential real estate if developers overturned their agricultural protection status. Pressure to rezone the land for urban expansion has been growing since the 1980s as investors began buying farms before declaring them non-productive or unprofitable and disputing the NSW government’s State significant farmland classification. Leading the latest charge has been the Kingscliff Land Company which is planning to sell a small 1.5ha slice of its 39ha land holding to the police force if it can win subdivision approval from Tweed Shire Council. But the first to challenge the zoning was the Anglican Church, triggering events which helped persuade the

<echowebsection=Local News>

government to give the farms the highest possible level of protection and to set up the first of two inquiries which resulted in the council’s sacking several years later. Events unfolded after the church failed in a court appeal against council’s refusal to allow it to build a school on a farm it had purchased only a few metres from the site where police now want to build a new station. The setback sparked a strong backlash from the church which erected a giant wooden cross on the redundant site in silent protest against the council’s decision to back its planning staff on the issue. It also revived a long simmering feud between long-serving Mayor Max Boyd and wealthy Murwillumbah businessman, Bill Bedser, who also happened to be a Church of England trustee and gifted fundraiser. With the help of locals, many with National Party connections, he formed an organisation dubbed the Small Business Group and raised

a $70,000 kitty, including a $20,000 contribution from his own company, a subsequent inquiry found. It was used to fund the 1999 election campaign of 24 so-called Independent candidates grouped to maximise their chances under the voting system and to launch an antiBoyd media blitz accusing his council of mismanagement and incompetence. The tactics proved successful with the election of a pro-development council and were then used as a blueprint at the next elections in 2004 for a bigger and more secretive war chest filled with money from developers. A subsequent inquiry which led to the council’s sacking in 2005 after finding most were puppets of developers, also revisited the 1999 election funding affair. Commissioner Maurice Daly observed that possibly for the first time, Mr Bedser proved it was possible for one man to organise and provide funding to enable a group to get control of a council, to effectively ‘buy’ it.

Harbour land grab sparks outrage Ken Sapwell

Council contractors involved in the $7 million revamp of the Jack Evans Boat Harbour precinct have begun reclaiming parts of the harbour despite high-level assurances there would be no infilling of the waterway. The move has horrified residents’ groups and surprised councillors, including mayor Warren Polglase who has been involved in the project since its inception more than 15 years ago. Boat Harbour committee secretary Stephanie Deane says she discovered a peninsula of land being created in the harbour’s northern side (see picture) using rubble and other infill material after returning from a short holiday this week. She says the infill was not apparent in plans exhibited for public comment and flew in the face of past assurances through the media by Lands Minister Tony Kelly, Tweed MP Geoff Provest and Cr Polglase that there would be no infilling of the harbour. The well-publicised guarantees were given following a public uproar after initial plans unveiled in 2006 showed that the entire northern side of the harbour would be infilled to allow for a cultural centre and

Tweed Shire Council lifts the veil Ken Sapwell

Tweed Council has set up a one-stop shop on its website to improve public access to information as part of reforms under the new Government Information (Public Access) Act which came into force this week. The site contains transcripts of recent public inquiries into the council’s governance, assessments of its performance and information about its codes, management and financial plans, policies, development applications, approvals, orders and other documents. The council’s corporate services director Troy Green says

Pacific Coast Academic Scholarships

the new Act, which replaces the 20-year-old Freedom of Information Act, creates new rights to information to better meet the community’s expectations of more open and transparent government. ‘Local councils are also encouraged to make any other information they hold publicly available unless there is an overriding interest against disclosure,’ Mr Green said. But he said the new policy would not apply to councillors who were bound by a media policy which prevents them from making public any information unless it’s already publicly available. He said he would not be rec-

ommending any changes to the controversial policy which he believed was less stringent than that of other councils. In the meantime the council was committed to releasing as much of its information as provided by legislation ‘in an appropriate manner and free of charge, except for appropriate photocopying charges.’ At the same time the NSW Department of Planning has taken additional steps to improve transparency in its assessment processes by making submissions received on development proposals publicly available on the department’s website within 10 days of the end of exhibition.

Mental health service dealt critical funding blow Kate McIntosh

The Richmond MP denied her government was ignoring local mental health sufferers and their families. ‘We recognise the importance of prevention, early intervention, diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions. There is more to do in mental health but it is important to get the foundations right,’ Mrs Elliot said. She said the government had committed to double national spending on mental health to $1.1 billion over the next four years and that The Buttery would continue to receive Commonwealth funds for its other drug treatment and rehabilitation services. Mr Evans said the Buttery was now seeking philanthropic support in the hopes of restoring its mental health program.

funding received to repair damage to local facilities and infrastructure. The council has so far conducted repair works to Uki sports field, Jack Julius Park in Kingscliff and Bilambil West sports field. Funding assistance also went towards repairs to the levee at South Murwil-

The Tweed region’s sole community outreach service for people suffering dual mental health and substance abuse problems has been forced to close after failing to secure funding. The MISA (Mental Illness Substance Abuse) program, which was run by drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre The Buttery, had been operating from Binna Burra for the past three years. The Buttery’s executive director Barry Evans said more than 250 people in the Ballina to Tweed area are affected by the closure. ‘This sort of service is critical particularly in a rural area,’ Mr Evans told The Echo. ‘The people we’re assisting are dealing with chronic mental health issues and often using drugs or alcohol as a shortterm relief. They’re not going to go to their GP.’ The Buttery received one-off funding of $750,000 in 2007 for its outreach services under the under the Proceeds of Crime Act Funding. However, when that funding dried up on June 22 The Buttery was left with no option but

to shut the service down. Its closure comes as the Federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott announced a Coalition government would provide $1.5 billion to fund early intervention mental health programs to ease the burden on mainstream services. Despite the link between mental health and substance abuse problems, Mr Evans said sufferers continued to be shunted between separate services, decreasing positive recovery outcomes. MISA was unique in that its programs had been specifically focused around addressing coexisting drug and alcohol issues and mental health. Mr Evans said repeated representations to the Federal government and local member Justine Elliot over the past 18 months had been to no avail. He said the closure would leave a significant service gap for mental health sufferers and their carers in the Tweed region. ‘The fact is the need remains after the funds dry up. How do we explain to people in crisis that there is no one available to help them through their problems now that the service has closed?’

A new page on Tweed’s bygone days Kate McIntosh

It was a time when the dairy industry reigned, children walked barefoot to their tiny bush schools and families eked a living on the fringe of desperate poverty without losing humour. This fascinating era of Tweed’s history is the subject of a new book by Cabarita author David Rae. Glimpses at the Past: Memories of the Tweed Coast and Hinterland traces the early history of Tweed’s tiny coastal villages and rural hamlets during the district’s first century of European settlement. The book also delves into the lives of Tweed’s early settlers, as well as the histories of the region’s bush schools, country halls and pubs – an integral part of community life. The book is the result of two years’ exhaustive research, involving some 90 interviews with early Tweed pioneers and hours trawling dusty historical archives. One thing that stood out throughout his research, said Mr Rae, was the resilience of local people even in the face of enormous hardship. ‘There were so many stories of people handling poverty with a grin on their face and just getting on with life.’ Mr Rae’s narrative is peppered with humorous, personal anecdotes of early life in the Tweed, recounted to him in great detail by early pioneers – most of whom are now aged in their 90s.

Former settlers describe warming their chilly bare feet in freshly dropped cow pats, the exhausting pre-dawn chores and the long distances trekked to attend school or Sunday Mass. ‘You’re not going to discover these things in the dusty archives, you only get that from the people who lived through that time,’ said Mr Rae. Such personal anecdotes paint a vivid picture of early life in Tweed – then a remote, sparsely populated region, devoid of today’s modern comforts of electricity and public transport. ‘When I first began writing this book I didn’t realise how much history I would uncover in such a relatively small geographical area,’ he said. ‘The story has ended up much more interesting that I

thought it would be.’ Yet despite the fascinating nature of Tweed’s early pioneering years Mr Rae said the period had up until now been largely overlooked by local historians. ‘I think I’ve fulfilled my original ambition to preserve a bit of history that was in danger of dying out,’ he said. ‘I hope it [the book] will build awareness about Tweed’s history and inspire others to pick up a pen and add to it.’ Mr Rae plans to donate copies of his book to Tweed’s libraries and Historical Societies. A limited number will also be available for sale. An official book launch will be held on July 31 at the Pottsville Beach Community Hall at 10am. A large number of Tweed’s pioneering families are expected to attend the event.

Council strategy dubbed ‘tokenism’ Kate McIntosh

A so-called ‘citizen’s panel’, which is part of a new strategy by Tweed Shire Council to improve community consultation, has been labelled a token gesture that will ultimately exclude residents in the shire’s less populated rural areas. Greens councillor Katie Milne said plans to base panel selection on population figures

rather than geographical area, were unfair. However, Mayor Warren Polglase has hit back at the suggestion, saying the strategy was ‘a step in the right direction’. ‘What we’re endeavouring to do is get the best representation that we can. This should improve community consultation and help get the silent majority more involved in council decision making,’ he said.

Some 34,000 Tweed ratepayers will be eligible for the panel, with non-ratepayers also able to nominate themselves. The panel would only be consulted on major issues of shirewide importance. ‘This is a very minimal style of consultation. If council is really genuine then I would have thought a good place to start is proper community consultation,’ Cr Milne said.

So it isn’t the neat, inclusive policy package that Rudd, Wayne Swan and Ken Henry envisaged. But at this stage of the electoral cycle it doesn’t need to be; what is required is not policy but a fix. And, as this column among others predicted some weeks ago, it has left the opposition out on a limb. Tony Abbott, in a rare attack of consistency, is standing his ground: it’s still a great big new tax and he’ll abolish it and the election will be a referendum on tax, he cries. But it won’t; the fix is in and the issue is dead. illard is now turning G her attention to the next problem area, asylum seekers; and the outlook is a lot less happy.

numbers are insignificant. The suggestion that they constitute some sort of threat to Australia and our way of life is not legitimate anxiety, but rampant paranoia, fuelled by racist bigots and opportunistic politicians. The way to deal with such worries is simply to give the facts; the truth is that there are no grounds for concern, and the prime minister should be taking the leading role in explaining this. But that’s too difficult and takes too long; it’s a policy, not a fix. So Gillard is instead calling for a full and open debate – well, at least for the next day or so, until she can announce her deeply considered solution. Say what you really feel, she urges; abandon all thought of political correctness. And while you’re at it, abandon reason, compassion, humanity, decency, and any consideration of Australia’s

international obligations and reputation. Let it all hang out. Gillard will then be able to announce measures which go a long way towards meeting the brutality of Tony Abbott’s approach, claiming that the public demands them: the fix she has been flagging all along, and the one the faction bosses who installed her really want. And then there will be climate change and emissions trading; a short term fix for this looming disaster might be more difficult, but we can be certain that this is what Gillard and her advisers will be seeking. She has made it clear that there can be no real policy until the public consensus that prevailed less than two years ago is restored, but she has also indicated that she is in no hurry to restore it, and that in any case the new consensus that emerges may not be one for firm or urgent action; and if that is the case, that is the one that will guide future policy. Gillard is offering not leadership but populism, not vision but adhockery, not policy but fixes: whatever it takes. She has had her boost in the polls, and that, for the moment, is all that really matters. We can only hope that this is just her pre-election mode and that a victory in her own right will give her the confidence and enthusiasm to set a real agenda for the years ahead. Kevin Rudd had one, but he couldn’t explain it. Julia Gillard explains things very convincingly, but so far has had nothing much to say.

Boat Harbour fill shock I was shocked on returning from a short holiday to discover a peninsula of land had been created using rubble and infill on the northern shoreline of the Jack Evans Boat Harbour. This infilling of the harbour’s edge cannot be seen from the ground because a Cyclone wire fence with a screening fabric attached has been used to block any view from ground level. Council probably expected to have a great unveiling once the work and the park is completed. In 2006 the Save JEBH Committee was formed after the 2004 Masterplan had been re-exhibited. It was picked up that the plans were misleading and that the plan contained infill into the northern side of the harbour which would eventually run the whole length of the north side to allow for a cultural centre and other commercial premises to be built on the harbour. Following public outrage and public meetings and a petition containing 3,266 signatures being presented in Parliament, the NSW Lands Minister, Tony Kelly made the announcement on December 5, declaring, ‘No part of the JEBH would be filled in’. This was published in an article in the Daily News on December 6, 2006. On March 16, 2007, our state representative, Neville Newell in the same paper stated, ‘No infill for the Boat Harbour itself ’. Our current mayor Warren Polglase attended the public meeting where the committee was formed, and informed us that it was the ‘three stooges’ (administrators) running with the plan. He informed us if he was re-elected that there would be no infilling, etc in the harbour. So the question is, why is there infill in the harbour? I call for a stop to any more infilling and ask that all infill be removed. Perhaps I might have to organise another public meeting to make council listen. The Echo will keep you informed. There was a naturally formed beach which only needed enhancing, there is no benefit to the community by the infilling of the harbour. Stephanie Deane

Citizens’ panel After voting themselves a pay rise, and of course a rate rise so that the people can pay for it, is the council now looking for people to take the blame for their decisions? www.tweedecho.com.au

They didn’t take any notice of their own ‘specialist/planner ecologist’s’ report on the Chinderah Waterway which was damning of the development, so does anyone really think they would take notice of their ‘randomly selected panel’ if it wasn’t what council wanted? Or is council saying they aren’t up to the job they are being paid for? Perhaps they should get out and talk to the people not just the developers. Read their own specialists reports, etc before they make decisions and be fully responsible for them, if they have got it wrong. They don’t need a citizens’ panel, they have specialists making reports, and all they need do is read them! And like normal people, rectify any mistakes, not ignore them. Perhaps then people might start to believe this council is competent to run this shire for the people who elected them! Lynda Mack

Catch phrases not on Tony Abbot has stated that the next election will be a referendum on tax. This misrepresents truth and fact. A referendum enables change in the constitution. An election is a democratic vote to establish a government which represents the will of the people, in order to govern. Voters should not be persuaded by short phrases which appear to be smart but deny clear and critical thought. Let us keep these short, catchy phrases for the advertising industry. The people’s democracy is a serious public issue needing in-depth critical analysis, not simple one phrase propaganda style thinking and writing for easy persuasion. The short phrases are close to psychological conditioning. Patricia Albanese

Save Lot 490 The federal government has made some monumental errors on its policies and implementation of programs such as insulation and the school building programs. Much common sense was simply thrown out the window in a rush to seize the moment. The NSW state Labor government in its policy and development partnership for the rare coastal crown reserve lands at Lot 490 Kingscliff is also making a monumental error. The land development grab for a commercial resort on these rare coastal crown reserve lands needs immediate turning around. This mistake let go too far unfortunately will not be able to be turned around for generations and many decades. In just a short decade from now with rapidly expanding population and housing the Tweed community will need all of the public open coastal

Abrupt tree felling rankles residents ■ I was saddened to see the result of the deliberate poisoning of the magnificent Forest Red Gum in Shady Lane, Banora Point and I commend council for the sign now attached to its stump. In the early 1900s, when my grandfather, Alfred Wilson, cleared portion of the ridge that is now Tweed Heights, he left that stand of eucalypts because of their beauty. If that tree worried whoever destroyed it, they should not have decided to live there. The selfishness and ignorance of some people in connection with the environment never ceases to amaze me.

Ross Wilson

Tweed Heads ■ To Tweed Shire Council: For those of you who were not witness to the horrendous act of environmental degradation which occurred by the stroke of your pen, as per your council meeting of June 15, 2010, I send you a photographic record of

green space and parkland that can be found with substantial parking availability. Also current parks like Faulks Park, Kingscliff, might just be substantially sacrificed to the sea under local policy making. The Lot 490 rare coastal crown reserve lands should not be signed over to a private commercial resort development. There is a huge difference between some simple low key tourist accommodation and a massive long term 180 unit self-contained commercial resort with its own restaurant, bar and conference complex – just what is not needed within metres of beautiful Cudgen Creek. State government needs to do a backflip on this community-insensitive development. Keep forwarding your objections against the Lot 490 crown lands resort development to the NSW government and both the premier and Minister for Lands Tony Kelly. It will not go away by itself or by local bar room grumbling.

these shameful events. The poisoned tree was expeditiously felled today by expert arborists, and what took potentially hundreds of years to grow and flourish was extinguished in a single day’s work; quite unbelievable to witness but true. I have heard the rationalisation expressed by various members of the council staff but what is not satisfactory in this matter is the lack of transparency in the alleged ‘testing’ undertaken by the arborists, in determining that the only course of action following the poisoning should be felling the tree. There are many members of the community who are not lacking in education or credentials and they should be entitled to a clear and detailed explanation why a tree of such significance should be felled instead of having other measures attempted in the first instance. As a ratepaying resident of the shire, I for one believe it is appropriate in this time of ecological sustainability that a

more detailed analysis of tree preservation measures should be researched before arborists are allowed to make the decisions for tree felling. A panel of three council-employed arborists does not make a eucalypt expert panel, and with the decline in numbers of trees of this age and significance, surely the time has come for a more considered approach to tree management. No one in the street was informed of the matter being listed on the agenda for that June 15 meeting. No one but the residents immediately adjacent to the tree were notified of the outcome of your council meeting. In short, no member of the street or shire apart from council staff had any contribution to the discussions surrounding this tree and its management. This matter should reach a public arena where local ratepayers of the shire have some contribution to matters of environmental

Your responsibility is also to allow wider buffer zones so that the animals have more space to move around, and stop building more roads, tunnels and freeways and spend the funds on much needed railway lines and open the Casino-Murwillumbah line at once, which has already been closed for over

six years. The traffic up here is unbearable, Byron Bay alone has thousands of visitors who must use cars. I hope you get the message and act soon, and that we don’t have to treat so many injured animals in the wildlife veterinarian hospitals around the state.

management in their own shire. I hope to explore all or any avenues I can to make my fellow members of the shire aware of this example of ‘response by habit’ as opposed to ‘response by ecologically considered research’. Leonie Seedsman

Banora Point ■ Maybe alternatives to saving some of the tree at the corner of Shady Lane could have been found, to save at least some of the old growth habitat with the huge canopy and all the hollows used by our wildlife. I understand these hollows take around 70 years to form, even if trees like this were to be replaced, which I have not witnessed happening in our shire. The Tweed is a magical place as many tens of thousands of people are discovering. Let’s not destroy the very things that make it so special.

Mixed feelings on the Gillard elevation I am an 85 year old woman and I’ve enjoyed watching Parliament Question Time on the ABC. On Tuesday night I tuned in to Australian Story to watch what Julia Gillard had to say. The program started off okay with the interviewer asking about Julia’s family life and so on. Then he turned his attitude and started asking her about Kevin Rudd. She looked rather uncomfortable and I thought that was odd. The next day Wednesday I watched Question Time again. Kevin Rudd and all the Labor members were in fine form. Prime Minister Rudd said there had been a breakthrough with the miners. I thought how great it had turned out and his patience had won out. It was not until Thursday, when I heard what had happened, I felt devastated. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Only twice in my lifetime have I truly been ashamed of being an Australian. Once when Lindy Chamberlain was wrongly accused of killing her baby, and now, when the meâ–

dia has tried to kill off Kevin Rudd. He does not owe anyone an apology. He was doing a great job. I think many of the Australian people and the Liberal Party, also Julia Gillard and the media, owe him an apology and I can’t see how Australia can go ahead until that happens. I Tough

Chinderah ■Great excitement has developed among large sections of our community with the elevation of Julia Gillard to PM. It is of course an historical first for Australia and an important step for women whatever their politics. However, I would caution those who expect great things to come about simply because our PM is a woman. She is still locked into the same policies as Kevin Rudd and subject to the same pressures from the right-wing ‘whatever it takes’ bovver boys who pull the strings to suit themselves. Ms Gillard said on an Australian Story program that her hero was Nye Bevan, a

labour MP from Wales and a cabinet minister in the post WW2 Atlee government. He was also something of a hero to our family too (Tory pollies could not stand him which made him AOK with my Dad). Bevan was indeed a compassionate person, representing coal miners from an early age and always having sympathy for the poor, the oppressed and the underdogs. In this vein I hope Ms Gillard will show support for the Palestinian people in their present state of misery and call for the complete lifting of the Gaza siege, the expulsion of the illegal settlements on the West Bank and the conclusion of a just and equitable peace agreement with the Palestinian people. For too long they have been subject to military occupation and received underdog treatment (perhaps jolly Joe Hockey of Palestinian heritage could form a unity ticket on this issue). In doing this something really great would have happened, not only for Palestin-

should aim to use scarce resources wisely and strive to fulfill social needs economically and in a way that minimises harm to indigenous culture and ecosystems. The title ‘Development Services’ applied to council’s planning department puts a skewed emphasis towards the notion of smoothing the way (bulldozing the site?) for the ‘inevitable’ and scarcely questioned proposed development. Perhaps it is this mentality that sees no shame or harm in concreting over coastal creeks or eradicating riparian vegetation. Another problem with council’s policies and structure is the dominance of engineers in the decision-making process. There is a bias towards engineering solutions rather than ecological solutions and ecological constraints. For obvious reasons, mangroves and littoral rainforests, like all protected ecological communities, require special attempts by council and developers to ensure their long term survival. Recent vandalism and development proposals at Cudgera Creek and Chinderah are stupid and unacceptable. The council’s decision makers need to exercise special care in this special bioregion in this year dedicated to biodiversity. Caldera Environment Centre

Weeds and weeds A major conflict in land-use patterns occurs with pasture. Graziers in Australia prefer ‘clean’ paddocks, that is, those made up of plants preferred by their stock, rather than plants they regard as weeds that are not eaten by their stock. The weeds in paddocks increasingly become ‘woody’ with larger diameter and coarser stems than pasture grass. This is a natural process of nature provisioning more and more organic carbon in order that the soil is prepared

schools program will be abolished and there will be 12,000 public servants looking for jobs under Mr Abbott (Australian Financial Review, June 29). Remember it was Tony Abbott who cut $1 billion in health and hospital funding when he was health minister in the previous government. Mr Abbott has failed to detail well-thought out policy to put to the Australian people at the coming federal election, piecemeal bits and pieces of policy will not do. Australia is leading the way on economic recovery of all the developed nations, we can’r risk a coalition government smashing it all to pieces. Mr Abbott is too risky. Paddy Dwyer

Murwillumbah for trees and eventually forest; the means by which carbon is stored most efficiently. Larger diameter and coarser stemmed plants provision soil better than pasture grasses. A ‘dirty’ paddock therefore may be regarded as not providing a maximum of pasture grasses, but is is engaged in provisioning soil. A ‘clean’ paddock on the other hand better provides immediate feed for stock. The sustainability of a farm is dependent at least partly on maintenance of soil organic matter levels. Many of the coarser plants not eaten by stock are regarded as weeds not only by the farmer but by the society which will legally prohibit their growth. If these plants are the ones primarily engaged in soil provisioning, is the society emphasising the comparative short-term feeding of stock at cost of the long-term well-being of the soil? Are these laws in fact vectors of agricultural unsustainability? Geoff Dawe

Banana paper I saw on ABC TV program Landline not so long ago a North Queensland banana grower is producing strong paper from the trunks of banana trees and has some plantation growers from South America showing them how it is done. Seeing our Tweed Shire has plenty of banana growers near by, our federal and state governments should help set up a factory in Murwillumbah and not only will it save a lot of waste, it will help banana growers with extra income and create employment as well.

Have cat, will travel I don’t know whether I have the right council or not but assuming I have, I want this comment to go to the correct department. I read with anger that you have closed your

Murwillumbah showground for camping in motor homes and caravans. I want to state that I am traveling in a nine metre motor home with a car being towed behind. A total length of 15 metres. I also have a cat. I would say that 80 per cent of caravan parks over my last seventh months of travelling would not allow us to enter their park because of size and our animal. Where are we supposed to go with a large vehicle and no entry with a cat? And what about when the parks are full and that is often. The people or persons behind this stupid ruling (and I know the council has come under pressure from the selfish people who run the parks) just don’t get it. Don’t you realise that the money that the parks don’t get goes to a greater number of businesses in your town? An example of what we spend. Fuel, oil, food, breakfasts, dinners, morning coffees, newspapers, wine and alcohol, tires, video hire, vehicle servicing, hairdressers for the women, replacement of vehicle parts, clothes, medical, pharmaceuticals, etc, etc. etc. An example: I purchased $1,000 worth of tires in Macksville. Today I spent $980 on my motor home suspension in Rockhampton. That’s just on one of the vehicles. That’s not day-to-day living. Having a motor home in your town is no different than having another family move in, except we have money to spend. We may not be paying rates in your town but we are paying rates somewhere else. Don’t you people realise how much we spend in your towns? I come from Jindabyne in the NSW ski fields and down there we frantically try to find ways of keeping a tourist for another day because added up it is a huge amount over time for the town. Here is one for you. Take good account of this comment. If I come to a town with signs everywhere, you know the ones that say don’t stop here and don’t sleep in the vehicle unless you are in an approved park, etc I say to myself this town can shove it and I drive straight through without even buying a coffee let alone spending any real money. You can lay the blame for this squarely on the shoulders of your councils. The park proprietors who have put pressure on your councils don’t realise that even if their parks were $5 per night there are people that don’t want that type of camping. These comments are going to the NSW Ombudsman, your chamber of commerce and your local newspapers and last but by no means least the CMCA and the Caravan Association of Australia. Frank Hawkes

Indigenous celebration in full swing across Tweed Tania Phillips

NAIDOC week got off to an early start on the Tweed with schools celebrating the event before term’s end last week. This week it moved into full swing with a program of events organised across the region. Kingscliff Public played host to indigenous musician and surfer Lucas Proudfoot for a performance and demonstration of the didgeridoo, while year three students from Centaur public school at Banora Point were introduced to bush tucker on an excursion to the Fingal Head Dreamtime Pathway. The students were guided by former Fingal Head principal Ray Kent and indigenous community member Franc Krasna. Other events this week, centred around the Minjungbal Cultural Museum in South Tweed Heads, have included morning teas, cultural days and reptile show, sports days and prejudging in the Mr/Miss Teen and Mr/Miss Naidoc. Well-known local identity the late Ray ‘Sugar’ Appo was also honoured with with an induction into the museum’s Hall of Fame. His family paid a moving tribute to the former Tweed River High school student and Vietnam veteran.

‘The day you left us broke our hearts‌ the Hall of Fame induction proves you will forever be loved,’ they said in a statement. Tweed NAIDOC activities will culminate in the annual street march from Tweed Civic Centre to Jack Evans Boat Harbour, this Friday (July 9) from 10am. A corroboree and speeches will follow at Chris Cunningham Park. Festvities wrap up with the NAIDOC dinner dance at Twin Towns from 7pm.

The origins of NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) celebrations can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of indigenous Australians. NAIDOC Week is now held nationwide from July 4-11 in recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and and their contributions to the wider community.

Matty stars in teaching role Margo Sutton

Burringbar Primary School teacher Matthew ‘Matty’ Ross enjoyed a distinguished rugby league career and is now helping spread a positive message about indigenous culture among his young students off the field. Matty, who is from the Bun-

djalung people, led an exuberant celebrations at a special school assembly last Friday to mark NAIDOC Week. The teacher joined students in a traditional indigenous dance, while his cousin Earlwin Hannaway played didgeridoo and the sixth class sang We are Australian. Matty, who began playing rugby league at just four years of age, went on to play with some of the game’s greats including Barry Berrigan, Scott Prince, Shane Tronc, Matt King and Carl Webb. In 2008 he captained Queensland’s 48-4 victory over NSW in the Universities State of Origin rugby league match – the curtain-raiser to the annual City versus Country NRL game. After a crippling knee injury forced his retirement Matty became sports coordinator at the Burringbar school and continues to play an active leadership role with young athletes. ‘I’m loving teaching at Burringbar and am happy to be on Bundjalung land where I’ve lived for most of my life,’ he said. In addition to his teaching commitments Matty also works as a personal and corporate trainer with his company The Rock Fitness. His clients include marathon runners,

Internet: Do you know what you need? Broadband Service Checklist When looking for a broadband service you should consider how you use the internet and really what you need in a broadband service. Think about how often you will use the internet and how much you are prepared to pay for it. Other things to consider include options such as bundling your broadband service with other telecommunications services, if you want to be in a long term contract, and if so for how long.

value-adding features during late week Gemini moon. But the present astromix also suggests accidents involving fire, so check smoke alarms and keep flammables off heating systems. CANCER: July’s your month of confidence, optimism and home improvements, so nourish this week with whatever spiritual nutrition makes you feel safe and courageous. Say no to victimesque behaviour and pity parties, yes to tarting up the casa and adding new spice to the relationship cake. LEO: Loved ones continue driving you nuts, though that’s hardly news.

seeking missile? (Delete the inapplicable and pour another mulled wine…) VIRGO: Virgo Mars can be rather sharp, so this week needs a creative approach. Where critics might describe someone as selfish and unreliable, Bono expresses similar sentiments another way in She’s a Mystery To Me – as you could defuse tension by choosing different words. LIBRA: If demanding partners, financial tangles or domestic wrangles aren’t making life entirely rosy, cosy and toasty, this week’s still all about appreciation of your base station and personal sacred site. Because the more you’re at home there, the less you’ll be thrown by outside goings on. SCORPIO: Scorpio’s a radical sign, and this

week requires what my favourite astrologer Rob Brezny calls radical authenticity. It’s the year’s premier period for dealing with feelings, so if you ignore emotional sore spots they’ll demand attention via your lungs, nerves or some other body part. SAGITTARIUS: As a tsunami of power struggles hits Planet Trouble, it could surface either at Sagittarius Mansions or in the corporate jungle of office politics. This week calls for the tricky tightrope walk of neither catering to other people’s expectations nor making those expectations wrong. CAPRICORN: Consider the possibility that what you’ve learned in the past might not be a reliable guide to understanding what’s going on this week, which requires lots of

personal nurturing and deep listening to activate a quantum shift in the way you think and operate. AQUARIUS: This was the week the ancient Greeks honoured Athena, goddess of wisdom, since it’s a time when personal demons tend to act up. It could be a good idea to take a break from someone, or someone else may need to take a break from you. PISCES: While the astral fandango puts everyone through life’s food processor, your job is not letting gloomy, confused people drain you or rain on your parade. Make this week’s birthday person Frida Kahlo your role model for maintaining vibrant optimism and artistic vision in adverse conditions.

The line up has been consistent with Kel McIntosh on sax/clarinet and Scrubby Pete on various guitars and vocals. Although the bass position has been shared by several great players, the consistency of the music and fun has never varied. Featuring on bass for Friday will be jazz club president Peter McLaughlin; Pete tells us that there may be a bit of a party atmosphere on the night to acknowledge the two year collaboration. Luffley Café is on the corner of Main and Wharf Street in Murwillumbah.

Chillingham Markets band: Laneway Greg Doolan's got This Sunday, live music at the the Mojo Mo Chillingham Markets is by Laneway. Originally playing as an acoustic harmony based duo, Laneway has recently relocated from Melbourne to Natural Bridge. The pair combine a love of harmony, a touch of psychedelia and a pop like sensibility, and have been likened to early Fleetwood Mac, the Mommas and Pappas and to contemporary groups like Cat Power, Fleet Foxes and Midlake. Catch them at the Chillingham Village Markets this Sunday from 10am. The markets are located at the Chillngham Community Centre, 1469 Numinbah Road, Chillingham from 10am.

Greg Doolan has proved unanimously that the moustache never lost its appeal. It takes considerable hutzpah to wear a 'mo' all year round – outside of Movember – and credit should be given to him for that. Pioneering as it is, music shouldn't get in the way of a good moustache, but oh why not. Here's my favourite moustache gag: Why did the cowboy have sh%*t on his moustache? (sing along) 'Looking for love in all the wrong places...' His website claims 'he never lets his audience down,' which means that if let down, I would want his website to say: 'he has, on occasion, let his audience down.'

Nothing has really stuck since for poor old Austen, who's self image reflects a brilliant comic never quite reaching potential due to an abundance of mediocrity. Yes, it's hard to fly like an eagle when surrounded by turkeys. He likes heckles, especially from Germans (he's Jewish of course), and that gives him an opportunity to bring up his dislike for all people that at one time or another oppressed or killed his people. It's usually awkward, but occasionally he Austen Tayshus won't go hits gold, and makes complete away.

HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE

Mandy Nolan

Every time I see someone in a public phone booth I think, ‘drug deal’. This is unfair, I know, because there are citizens who don’t have a mobile and still need to use the public amenity. Dealers aren’t psychic afterall. But they just look dodgy. I can’t imagine what sort of business requires that sort of high risk behaviour. I wouldn’t be putting my mouth on that receiver unless I had a crate of Dettol sanitising wipes. (Ladies, that’s also a good pickup line). I suppose if you’re making threatening phone calls or stalking someone the public phone is the first choice. Although I don’t recommend any hot and horny calls as masturbation loses its edge when your phone’s attached to the bus stop. The main problem with the public phone is that it’s public. I can hear what you’re saying. So while you may be covering your ass and organising some sort of covert action on an ‘untraceable’ line, you’re standing in the fricking street, you moron. So, you want to buy $250 worth of avocados? What are you doing, selling sandwiches on the black market? ‘Hey buddy, want a salad roll?’ I don’t think I’ve touched a public phone since about 1989. The public phone was the original mobile. When you were out you could still make a call. In fact, for years when I couldn’t afford my

own homeline I made all my calls on the public. I’d stand outside the box with my pocket of 20 cent pieces waiting with the other phoneless dweebs. It was like lining up for the toilet, except the cubicle was see-through and people were speaking shit instead of squeezing one out. All your private and most personal calls had to be made in public. There was no humility in a heartbreak, and for those of us crouching on the kerb, it was like a precursor to reality TV. There’d be some chick in the box crying on the phone, ‘why don’t you love me? I leeeerve you… don’t go, give me another chance, I’m sorry, pleeeease’. I’d be banging on the box going ‘hurry up bitch. I know why he left you. You’re a selfcentred twat. Get out’. There was no room for compassion in the queue for a public phone. Even the Dalai Lama would have lost his bottle. You’d get your go, load the barrel with your $1.20 then it was on. You’d turn your back on the angry mob outside the cubicle and launch into your five minute chat fest. I’d slide down the glass and curl up foetal on the concrete. ‘Hi mum, it’s me, Mandy. Look, just wondering if you can spring some money into my account this week. I’ll pay it back. I promise… yes, I know I always say that… yes I know you can’t keep bailing me out… 25, I’m 25, yes I know

I’m not 15 anymore… look it’s just that I’ve had rego come up… yes I know I don’t have a car, but in NSW they like you to pay rego anyway. I’ve only got 20 cents left, mum?’ This conversation was actually code for ‘mum, can you lend me the bucks to pay my rent because I got pissed last week and spent it on pot, pizza and taxis.’ There was no text messaging. No tweeting. No personalised ring tones. No soft click or message that politely said ‘call ended’. You hung up with the thud of hard plastic hitting metal. You always sounded pissed off. You usually were. And no wonder. You were standing in a fricking public cubicle trying to make a life changing call straddling some poor wretch’s vomit, avoiding the cigarette butt pushed into a half eaten pie smeared on the yellow pages while reading the graffiti that detailed Sharon and her slutty antics. I once saw a guy standing in a phone box wearing only undies and joggers. I was immediately suspicious. It was about 5am in the morning, I thought, hang on, where’s he keeping his 20 cent pieces? And who was undie dude calling ‘Hi Sharon you slut, what are you wearing… me? I’m in red undies… look, I’m just wondering if you’d like to buy some avocados.’

Winter Farmers Market Feast Burringbar School of Arts Hall is holding another Farmers Market Feast, and the great news is that $3700 was raised at the last feast. The sad news is the hall’s insurance has now increased – to over $6000 a year – but never-the-less the committee is ready to cook up another storm to raise some money. The cost is still $40 per head with entertainment, produce displays and local produce raffles to compliment the day. Stick around and watch the cows come in for the afternoon milking from the verandah. Everyone is welcome and there will be a chance to mix with those who have grown the ingredients so pick their

brains about starting your own vegie garden. Guest speakers will explain the benefits of eating local and fresh and the Burringbar cheese ladies will give you a run down on

the cheeses being consumed. Sunday 12pm, July 11 at the Burringbar School of Arts Hall. For more phone 02 6677 1111 or email tweedcheese@ bigpond.com

JULY 2010

18 July 8, 2010 The Tweed Shire Echo

Red Devil’s winger Scott Stapleton made life just too hard when he crossed for four tries in Byron Bay’s 38-14 win over the Tweed Coast Raiders on Saturday. The victory, has cemented the Red Devil‘s spot in the top five on the NRRRL ladder, with the big guns of Marist Brothers and Grafton Ghosts looming. A slow start from the hosts saw the Raiders’ half-back cruise through sleepy defence to open the scoring after eight minutes, but Byron were quick to grab the ascendency. Running it on the sixth tackle, Byron took a knock, regained equilibrium and sent the ball to the winger who was put away for his first four-pointer. Soon after a Devil’s flanker was the beneficiary of an overthe-shoulder pass and the ball made it across again to make it

16-4 and in the blinking of an eye, the Raiders’ day was done. Byron went to the sheds leading 22-10 and upon resumption and in fairness, it was the Raiders who then snatched the game’s most memorable moment. Awarded a penalty, the Devils punted the ball across field. As kicks go, it was a Joe Cocker, going nowhere and not even finding touch. Instead it lobbed directly into the arms of Tweed’s number five who took it on the fly, ran over the top of the nearest Devil and shot away to the line, with Byron’s disbelieving cover moping across at the rate of zombies. Proceedings were concluded with Stapleton’s second brace of tries, leaving the Bay with a handsome scoreline and two crucial competition points.

Gents unhorse Cossacks

In Saturday’s game against the Iluka Cossacks, the Gent’s lockbusting centre Mick Ford scores a try under the posts in a demonstration of just how great the Murwillumbah team can be. Story & Photo Geoff Campbell

In a welcome return to form, the Gentlemen of Murwillumbah completely outclassed a hapless Iluka Cossacks with a five try to three rugby union drubbing, resulting in a final score of 34-15. The win gave The Gents their first victory at Banana Park for the season. In a slow start to the game both packs attempted to outmuscle each other – the Gents were patient and their backs began to see more of the ball and used it well. Veteran half back Glen, returning from injury had an excellent game, urging his forwards on and giving the outside backs plenty of op-

portunities to hammer the Cossacks. Mick Ford in the centres was unstoppable. The Gents lineouts were at times a little untidy and were lucky not to have points scored against them, but the scrums were a different story. The Gents hardworking pack totally dominated their oppositition, who had no answers in set play and at times failed to retain the ball with their own feed of the scrum. The Murwillumbah boys had a little nap midway during the second half, allowing Iluka in for a couple of soft tries, giving Gents supporters some anxious moments. These gave the team a sharp wake up call resulting in more points to the Gents.

ROUND 18 Tigers v Titans Roosters v Rabbitohs Sea Eagles v Raiders Bulldogs v Storm Knights v Sharks Panthers v Warriors Eels v Cowboys

Lee Wood at fullback had a fine game with his kicking game outstanding, although only on for a short period. Johnno showed some real potential at the side of the scrum, and Mick Ford showed how much he was missed in the game against Byron. This trio was the standouts for the Gents in a team in that played well on a glorious north coast Saturday afternoon. In other results over the weekend, Yamba easily accounted for Mullumbimby in a 45-7 drubbing and Bangalow had a narrow win over Byron Bay 22-18 in their local derby. Next Saturday the Gents travel to Kyogle, hoping to erase memories of their first encounter.

Can you still catch big flathead in the Tweed at this time of year? You bet ya! It’s just a matter of finding where they are. The lizard in the photo was caught a month ago behind the Tweed Hospital. At the moment they seem to have disappeared from this area, but after speaking to a few people in the know, it appears they have moved further up river. Cobaki Lakes, Terranora and up around Tumbulgum are good places to try. How you catch these fish is another story. As I only use soft plastics and hardbodied lures, you really have to go after the fish. Try fanning your cast as flathead are very lazy and unless you present the lure right onto them they won’t move. I’ve paddled over some very big lizards and anchored my kayak in a position where I could cast at them. This time I was using a small bream lure and it showed no interest at all. I ended up thinking maybe it was a ray, so I paddled over right on top of it and whacked my paddle on the side of the yak. It was a lizard alright and a whopper. Now I use much bigger plastics when chasing lizards, right up to seven inch minnows. One of the strangest things I’ve seen is reeling in an under-

size flathead, only to have a big one follow it up and swallow it. I’ve seen this on three different occasions and I can’t figure it out,whether the bigger one is eating or saving the little one. I have heard the little ones all lie next to the bigger models,

The Family Centre

This elaborate Marie Antoinette style creation by Banora Point designer Lyn Stewart made a stunning entrance at the opening of controversial exhibition Salon des RefusĂŠs at the Tweed River Art Gallery recently. The exhibition is inspired by the renegade French impressionists of the 1860s, who held a revolutionary breakaway exhibition. In 1863, the French Academy rejected a staggering 2800 canvases submitted for their annual Salon exhibition. The public protests that followed were so great that Napoleon III himself demanded to see the rejected works. When the Academy refused to reconsider its selection the Emperor decreed that the rejected paintings go on display in a separate exhibition. Salon des RefusĂŠs , which has since established a reputation to rival that of the famed ‘Archibald’ Prize, is described as a major coup for the gallery. The exhibition is on display until August 8.

Backburner Plenty of soccer mad fans across the Tweed have been burning the midnight oil during the World Cup in South Africa. Clearly the sleep deprivation is getting to some more than others. One Murwillumbah woman completed the ultimate faux pas recently by inadvertently barracking for the wrong team. The woman was overheard commenting to a slightly bewildered shop keeper this week that the Socceroos were playing remarkably well with the new-look team. When it was pointed out that Australia had long been eliminated from the World Cup the woman realised she’d actually been supporting Brazil. ‘Well, they do have similar coloured jerseys,’ the woman mumbled sheepishly. One wonders if she didn’t put a hex on the South American team given their World Cup campaign has since gone the same way as the Socceroos despite being touted as favourites to take home the trophy. â– â– â– â–

Tweed artist Chris Degenhardt, whose controversial anti-rally themed painting was recently banned from Murwillumbah Library by Tweed Shire Council is at it again above with a collage highlighting the Tweed’s dwindling koala population. The main harm being done to the koala is from habitat destruction due to mega developments – in other words the damage is entirely and heart-breakingly avoidable if the political will existed to protect the iconic animal.

Tweed Coasters are being asked to do the ‘bright thing’ when it comes to reducing greenhouse emissions. The challenge has been set by Gold Coast and Hinterland Environment Council (Gecko), which recently launched the Solar Savers Challenge, a community initiative aimed at encouraging at least 1,000 Gold and Tweed Coast properties to switch to solar – the equivalent of taking 600 cars off the road. The aim of the project is to make solar power more affordable by providing the option of installing a system with no upfront cost and paying it off with savings made from electricity bills. Residents on the Sunshine Coast, where the challenge has already been in operation for six months, have responded well to the initiative, with many making the switch to solar power. For more information about the Gecko Solar Savers Challenge go to www.gecko. org.au or call Janelle Batt on 07 5534 1412. â– â– â– â–

It was Tweed Shire Echo to the rescue last week after a car suddenly veered off a Piggabeen road and crashed into a ditch. Our intrepid staffer came to the aid of the driver and her distraught pet greyhound, Ziggy, who coincidentally shares his name with The Echo’s production manager. The dog took quite a liking to his rescuer and is currently being considered for an office mascot position. â– â– â– â–

A Tweed environmental group is doing its best to ensure climate change issues remain on the agenda of new PM Julia Gillard. Members of Tweed Climate Action Now (Tweed CAN) met recently with staff from Justine Elliot’s office to highlight their concerns. They also personally delivered nearly 200 letters expressing disappointment at the government’s lack of action on the issue, which will be passed onto the new PM. The group is calling for greater cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, saying Australia’s reliance on coal was unsustainable.The group is also calling on other residents

Award winning painter Fernando Solano has an exhibition of some of his works currently showing at the Cafe d’Bar Gallery at Point Danger, Coolangatta. Fernando, father of our popular fishing columnist David Solano, has won various art prizes over the years in the Tweed and Queensland and his work is represented in collections in colleges, councils and universities throughout Australia, as well as private collections in Italy, USA and Japan. Fernando says that ‘to paint a picture is like writing to a friend’ because ‘we both share the joy of understanding through my visual message’. â– â– â– â–

Now that retired farmer Alan Hunter, from Myocum near Mullumbimby, has been preselected by the Richmond Nationals as their candidate to try to wrest the federal seat from Labor’s Justine Elliot, we will see two conservative candidates in the ring. Mr Hunter, who will go head to head with the Liberals’ Joan van Lieshout, a Tweed councillor, replaces Tania Murdock, the Pottsville business chamber head, who quit suddenly as the Nats preferred candidate last month. Conservatives fear that with both the Nats and Libs running, their vote will be split. Backburner expects high-profile Nats who apparently switched allegiance to the Libs candidate during Ms Murdock’s short reign will return to the fold.

One resident is so distraught by the removal of a magnificent Forest Red Gum from her Banora Point Street that she plans to post footage of its destruction on video sharing website YouTube. The tree was removed by officers from Tweed Shire Council last Tuesday after being poisoned by unknown perpetrators. Some residents are angry, claiming council should have explored other alternatives. It’s not the first time Tweed community activists have used the site to take a swipe at council. In 2008 Hastings Point residents posted their cheeky nude protest on the site in a bid to highlight overdevelopment issues in their coastal town. Residents, who preserved their modesty with strategically placed placards, got their gear off following council’s approval of several controversial developments. Their video scored hits from around the world and attracted

to do their bit. ‘Right now the federal government appears to be in policy limbo in regards to the ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme). Now is the time for the community to write to Julia Gillard and express their desire for an effective carbon pollution reduction policy. We urge everyone who wants more action on climate change to write and make their feelings hurt,’ said group member Yasir Assam.
