Saddle Road suburb knocked backPlans to create a new suburb of up-wards of 450 dwellings – including an aff ordable-housing component – on the ridge between Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby were re-jected by Council before its assess-ment was completed.

Yet a successful amendment by mayor Simon Richardson at Th urs-day’s meeting invites ‘individual site proposals from within area 17 (Saddle

Road) that include a provision of at least 80 per cent aff ordable housing’.

Following last year’s initial invita-tion by councillors for Shire land-owners to propose their land as aff ordable-housing projects, Saddle Road landowner Kelvin Daly pro-posed the Brunswick Eco Village (BEV), located on the northern end of the precinct. Th en later, a planning proposal for most of the ridgeline was

submitted (Area 17), and included a promise to allocate 20 per cent of the land to aff ordable-housing projects.

Yet the proposal falls outside strategic planning and is resisted by other landowners who want to maintain their rural amenity.

Terrible blow Daly later told Th e Echo, ‘Th is has

come as a terrible blow to BEV and

its collaborative neighbours, as they were responding to a request from Council to submit the Planning Pro-posal aft er the creation of Area 17 and following that process, in good faith.’

‘The request of the state gov-ernment for Council to focus on completing the Residential Strategy will now mean that these off ers are suspended and their potential to deliver aff ordable housing unclear.’

‘No market’ for Ewingsdale medical centre says local doctorHans Lovejoy

Further to a recent decision by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) for a $8m private medical centre on the congested Ewingsdale Road, a medical professional has told The Echo the facility is not needed and was not requested by anyone within the local medical fraternity.

Th e comments by the local doc-tor, who wishes to remain anony-mous, highlight how the decision may well have been made without community support or need.

With almost a 100 per cent ap-proval rate, the JRPP is an unelected panel that decides on large-scale de-velopments instead of elected coun-cils, and will shortly consider the contentious West Byron greenfi eld development.

According to comments in their determination (available online), the JRPP stated that the facility was needed, yet that claim was unsup-ported with any evidence.

The doctor said, ‘The medical centre proposal is being seen by many in the local medical commu-nity as a cynical exercise to increase the value of a piece of land adjoining a public hospital site – no more.’

‘Th e proposed services are not essential, and they make no sense in that there is no market for them. Th e services have not been request-ed by any local medical entity.

‘The proposed services seek to replicate the already available and underused medical and pharmacy

Mullum gears up

Rise for Climate march, Sept 8A worldwide, annual day call-ing for climate-change action is being organised for Satur-day September 8 from 11am till 3pm at the Anzac Memo-rial precinct, Jack Evans Boat Harbour, Tweed Heads.

Th e Rise for Climate ral-ly will be one of thousands across the globe. Organis-ers say the purpose is to de-mand ‘local leaders commit to building a fossil-free world that puts people and justice before profi ts.’

Byron’s Rotunda to move to Apex ParkTh e Byron Environment Cen-tre (BEC) rotunda, located in Railway Park, will be relocat-ed – pending Crown Lands approval – to Apex Park ‘un-til agreement is reached as to the ownership, location and management of the facility until the redevelopment work of Railway Park is completed.’

The successful amend-ment by Cr Paul Spooner at Thursday’s meeting also

states, ‘if approval is obtained, the costs of the relocation of the rotunda be reported to Council for identifi cation of funding sources.’

The vote by councillors (mayor Simon Richardson against) trumped the may-or’s motion, which sought to confirm ‘its preference for the rotunda to be relocated to Apex Park.’

During public access BEC’s

John Lazarus told the chamber that he didn’t want the rotunda to be located on the beach. ‘We want to be where people live their lives,’ he said.

Lazarus explained that the rotunda provided insurance for events, volunteers, sound amplifi cation, tents, and advise the public of compliance and safety issues.

Lazarus also read Arwak-wal representative Delta Kay’s

statement: ‘This park holds our ancestors’ spirit strong, with its long connections… BEC is dear to my family.’

Speaking to the amend-ment, Cr Spooner said the park will be shut down for six months while upgrades are undertaken.

‘Th is [amendment] allows breathing space and we can have a sensible discussion around the best location.’

Logging shortfall claims fraudulent, says NEFA An environmental group has accused the NSW govern-ment of ‘fraudulently claim-ing a shortfall in high-quality logs available from State For-ests in northeast NSW’ to justify their wind back of en-vironmental protections and intention to log old-growth forest and rainforest.

North East Forest Alli-

ance (NEFA) have released a review of timber yields and modelling for northeast NSW over the past 20 years that has identifi ed a number of seri-ous problems with yield esti-mations and allocations from the region.

NEFA said it will refer the matter to the auditor-general.

‘The most significant is-

sue revealed is that the gov-ernment has removed hard-wood plantations from yield calculations to concoct a yield shortfall to justify removing environmental protections, while apparently intending to reallocate plantation timber to low-value products for export’ says spokesperson and the re-port’s author Dailan Pugh.

No need to log old growth

‘According to the govern-ment’s data there is absolutely no need to log old-growth forests, or to remove other existing environmental pro-tections to satisfy current timber commitments.’

services available within a very short distance (ie West Byron), as well as the underused lo-cal medical centres in Byron and Bangalow, all within 5–10 minutes’ drive. Further, there are already existing specialist suites in Byron and Bangalow, and excellent day-surgery fa-cilities within 30 mins (Lis-

more and Tweed). ‘Th e restricted hours sug-

gested by the developer (ie closed during morning and aft ernoon peak/school hours) underlines the cynical nature of this proposal, as no medical business model can ever oper-ate that way. No doctor would work in such a centre. It simply makes no fi nancial sense.

‘Th e developers are prop-erty speculators from Mel-bourne and their targeting of that block of land represents a low point for the residents of Ewingsdale, whose trans-port diffi culties will be greatly compounded, as will the transport problems generally on that already busy end of Ewingsdale Road.

‘In short, a cynical use of the ‘medical centre’ play by a developer wanting to up-val-ue his block, and get around Council. It’s a real “up-yours” to the Ewingsdale residents and the local medical and pharmacy businesses.’

Byron Public parking fees prompt complaints Paul Bibby

Byron Council is engaged in delicate negotiations with Byron Public School over the question of whether teachers should have to pay for park-ing in the streets around the school.

Since the introduction of paid parking in Byron, staff at the public school have been given free permits to park, with Council waiving the $110 fee that applies to work-ers who come from outside the Shire (or $55 for locals).

Th ey were the only work-ers who were given this ex-emption, with Council stat-ing that they deserved special treatment.

However, at the beginning of the school year, Council declined to provide the free permits, reportedly telling Byron Public it should ‘never have been given them in the fi rst place’.

Th ey were told to fi ll out interim parking-permit ap-plications that required teachers to pay the same $110 fee as other workers.

The sudden change brought a hail of protest from teachers and parents at the school, some of whom lashed Council with a string of angry complaints.

One vexed community member wrote to Th e Echo arguing that ‘most of the teachers at that school already sacrifi ce considerable driving time and car costs, not being able to live near their work’.

‘What kind of a council does that?’ the writer asked, rhetorically.

The Echo understands that following the complaints mayor Simon Richardson in-tervened putting a temporary freeze on the plan to get rid of the exemption for teachers.

Staff are now negotiating with the school’s executive to try to figure out a solution that both parties can bear.

Neither the school nor the Parents and Citizens associa-tion was willing to put their heads above the parapet to comment when contacted by Th e Echo.

However, Council was not so reticent.

‘Th ere is an expectation in the community that Council treats all people equally when it comes to pay parking,’ a Council spokesperson said.

‘Parking regulations apply to everyone.

‘Council, however, ac-knowledges the difficulties that arise when teachers are trying to comply with park-ing time limits and are super-vising children.

‘Staff are working with the Byron Bay Public School to find a solution to these problems and no decision has been made. While this is happening, teachers and staff continue to use the free per-mits to park.’

Lennox Lake precinct meeting, Sept 1A public meeting regarding the development of the Lake Precinct will be held on Satur-day September 1 from 10am, at Ballina Council Chambers.

Everyone is welcome.

NSW libraries given funding boostA campaign to improve funding to NSW librar-ies was given a boost, aft er NSW arts minister Don Har-win announced a $60 million funding commitment

Yet according to Local Government NSW (LGN-SW), the peak body repre-senting local councils, ‘fur-

ther clarifi cation was needed and further work was re-quired to fi x the long-term funding model for NSW pub-lic libraries.’

President Linda Scott thanked ‘all of the councils and over 6,000 supporters who have signed up to sup-port Renew Our Libraries.

Th is important win is owing to your eff orts.’

Funding crisis ‘Our libraries face a fund-

ing crisis owing to decades of underinvestment and this funding will help our public libraries deliver the services our communities need.’

Compost facility opens in Myocum

A new state-of-the-art com-post facility for garden or-ganics has been launched by Council, and aims to close the loop on garden organics for local farmers and residents.

Until recently, Council says all garden waste that people took to the Byron Resource Recovery Centre at Myocum was then sent to a processing facility outside of the Shire.

Lloyd Isaacson, team lead-er Resource Recovery and Quarry, said the new Mobile

Aerated Floor (MAF) system uses an innovative compost-ing technology and system tested in Australia.

‘Th is is really impressive stuff, with a series of pipes installed underneath the compost piles to aerate the compost to speed up the pro-cess,’ Mr Isaacson said.

‘This technology will be able to take garden waste and turn it into beautiful, rich, compost in six to eight weeks, which is half the amount of

time it would normally take,’ he said. ‘We are now able to transform approximately 3,000 tonnes of waste a year into high-quality compost.

‘Th e MAF produces com-posted mulches and soil con-ditioners that can be used for home gardens, agriculture, ur-ban landscaping and land re-habilitation,’ Mr Isaacson said.

Th e compost is available for purchase for $30/cubic metre to members of the pub-lic, farmers or businesses.

Drought-stricken farmers are soon to benefi t from a fund-raising event held last week-end across Australia.

Organisers say money raised for the Let it Pour cam-paign will go to the Drought

Relief Fund, administered by Rotary Australia.

While 380 venues signed up across NSW, locally, or-ganisers say Th e Byron Bay Services Club, Th e Mullum Ex-Services, the Lennox

Point Hotel and Lennox Head Community Sports Club, the Ocean Shores Country Club and the Ocean Shores Tavern were on board.

Lilly Pilly Preschool hits the booksIn celebration of the Chil-dren’s Book Council of Aus-tralia’s Book Week, Syber, a local librarian, visited Lilly Pilly Preschool in Brunswick Heads and not only captivat-ed the children, but transfi xed them for 45 minutes with her singing, storytelling and role playing how to borrow books from the library.

It was one of many book readings across the Shire’s schools.

According to research from the Australian Catholic Uni-versity’s Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Educa-tion Research, it was books

particularly, and those read to children in the preschool years, that gave students a sig-nifi cant advantage for learn-

ing. ‘Th is is particularly in the areas of advanced vocabulary, writing, problem solving, ge-ometry and mathematics.’

Bangalow man on 210 sex charges against 161 victimsPolice say they will lay 210 additional charges against a man, following an investiga-tion into the origin of thou-sands of images and videos located on electronic devices seized in Bangalow last year.

On November 22, 2017, officers from Tweed/Byron Police District say they con-ducted an inspection at the Bangalow property as part of the reporting conditions of a then-41-year-old man.

Police located a laptop, an external hard drive, and vari-ous electronic storage devices allegedly containing child- abuse material. Th e man was subsequently arrested and charged with various off ences.

During a further search warrant at the property the fol-

lowing day, police seized digi-tal cameras and other items relevant to the investigation.

Local detectives requested assistance from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad, who led the investigation un-der Strike Force Paluma.

A preliminary review of the digital fi les revealed thou-sands of videos and photo-graphs capturing various in-cidents, including sexual and indecent assault, break-ins, peep and pry, fi lming for in-decent purposes and produc-ing child-abuse material.

52 identifi edPolice will allege in court

the man committed various off ences against at least 161 victims across the Tweed

and Byron areas between 2009 and 2017. Th ey say they have identifi ed 52 of the vic-tims and spoken to some of them. They are hoping to speak to more.

Specially trained Th e Child Abuse and Sex

Crimes Squad comprises detectives who are specially trained to investigate matters against children and adults, including sexual assault, seri-ous physical abuse, and ex-treme cases of neglect.

Anyone with concerns about suspected child abuse or exploitation should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers on-line reporting page www.nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Hans Lovejoy

Good riddance Turnbull, a PM of massive wealth and ego who left offi ce without much record of accomplishment.

Remember when the Libs scoffed as Labor tore itself apart and then Abbott led us nowhere from 2013?

By comparison, the excre-tion of Malcolm from deep within the Liberal colon was more spectacular and even dumber. This means Labor will be a shoe-in at the next election, right?

Perhaps. Labor’s leader Bill Shorten consistently polls well below a chicken parmigiana as preferred PM. You would think he would have been replaced by now to ensure a solid victory.

Clearly Penny Wong, Tanya Plibersek or even Anthony Al-banese would be more appeal-ing than a man who oversaw the knifi ng of two Labor PMs?

Wrong. Former PM Rudd changed Labor’s rules so it’s now almost impossible to roll their leader. Not so for the Libs, who will probably fl ail around like a headless chook until the main perpetrator of this chaos – Abbott – is voted out.

And while this rabble of

self-serving Liberal zom-bies is not exactly the lineup Alan Jones wanted, it’s close enough to being hopefully the last of its type in modern his-tory. Or is it? Here are a few profi les of the new cabinet.

God botherer PMPrime minister Scott

Morrison is widely misun-derstood as being a Christian, or a person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.

While happily clapping in his Sydney mega-rich cheesy church stadium, the planet’s poorest and most wretched languish – and die – in off shore

concentration camps he helped to expand. With bipartisan Labor support, these desolate hellscape torture islands are run by evilgovcorp and paid for by your taxpayer money.

Of course, Morrison sleeps like a baby at night.

What would Jesus say?

Invisible minister Michael McCormack

(Nationals leader, deputy prime minister, minister for Infrastructure and Trans-port). The name McCor-mack is hard to remember because he replaced a colour-ful drunken beetroot named

Barnaby. Being bereft of charisma and substance also helps in remaining obscure.

Landcare funding slashed 80 per centHans Lovejoy

An environmental volunteer co-ordination network that supports on-ground Landcare groups to restore degraded public and private land says there has been a sharp decline in government funding.

A representative of the north coast Regional Landcare Network Hannah Rice-Hayes told Th e Echo there has been a 64 to 80 per cent funding cut since 2015, owing to ‘changes in federal and state government funding priorities.’

She says a total of over $1.7 million has been cancelled for north coast Local Land Servic-es (NCLLS) programs, which include: Community Capacity Support contract ($804,000), Regional Landcare Facilitator contract ($360,000) and Tar-geted Engagement contracts ($617,000).

Rice-Hayes said, ‘Th e clo-sure of these NCLLS programs at the end of the last fi nancial year represent a 64 per cent decrease in community sup-port that north coast Regional Landcare Network and its member networks are able to provide to the community, and in some cases the decrease has been more than 80 per cent.’

So have the cuts affected local landcare groups? Brun-swick Valley Landcare (BVL) co-ordinator Alison Ratcliff e told Th e Echo while they lost state and federal government funding, Byron Council had been very supportive and have been supplementing costs, in-cluding shared work spaces.

She said, ‘But by June next year, if the governments don’t come on board with funding local and regional co-ordinators, we could end up with nothing.’

LocallyThe Green And Clean

Awareness Team, which are auspiced by BVL and Land-care, say they have experi-enced cuts. The team’s co-ordinator Miles Shorten said, ‘Over the last ten years, in addition to Green And Clean Awareness Team’s private and business contributors, BVL has auspiced and helped ad-minister larger single injec-tions of funds (around $25,000 worth of grants), which sig-nifi cantly helped to rehabili-tate the dunes at Clarkes and Main Beaches. BVL currently gives us (and other landcare groups) $500 per year for ‘lo-cality group funding’, which is

helpful because it can be relied on. Current lack of smaller grant opportunities ($10,000 to $15,000) is sorely missed.’

Local MLC Ben Franklin (Nationals) told The Echo, ‘It is important to note that NLP2 funding is provided by the Australian government. This is not state funding. I am advised by the minister’s offi ce that contracts are still under negotiation with each LLS region.’

‘The NSW government is committed to Landcare NSW and has recently pro-vided more than $2 million over two years to Landcare NSW to develop a sustainable Landcare model.’

In reply, regional Land-care facilitator Hannah Rice-Hayes said, ‘Landcare receives funding support from both levels of government to vary-ing degrees, and naturally they infl uence one another.’

‘The Local Landcare Co-ordinators Initiative (LLCI) is a state program (partnership between Local Land Services NSW and Landcare NSW).

‘Th is is ongoing to the end of this fi nancial year, and is the program that Landcare NSW are hoping to see renewed (re-quiring $32.5 million).’

A peek at Rupert Murdoch’s

continued opposite


Comment

turned a ban on government-backed loans to domestic miners last year without con-sulting his department. Ac-cording to Th e Guardian, ‘Th e controversial decision meant the federal government could start funding coalmining pro-jects at a time when Australia’s major banks are increasingly distancing themselves from investing in coal.’

Simon Birmingham (min-ister for Trade, Tourism and Investment). Birmingham moves from wrecking educa-tion to now wrecking Trade, Tourism and Investment. He’s considered a Liberal moder-ate, which means in real terms hard right, somewhere short of Mussolini and Franco.

Kelly O’Dwyer (minister for Women, minister for Jobs and Industrial Relations).

O’Dwyer made headlines for being unable to answer Barry Cassidy’s question: ‘Was the government wrong to stall on calling a royal commission into the banks, given the ap-palling evidence of last week?’

Th e Libs constantly resist-ed the royal commission but were happy for the unions to be burnt on the royal commis-sion stake. Double standards and hypocrisy may be lost on the political class, but surely not on us normal folk?

Mathias Cormann (min-ister for Finance, special minister of State, leader of the Government in the Sen-ate). While highly regarded as a competent minister by independent media outlet Crikey, isn’t he still part of the

problem? The Cormannia-tor’s expression after being fl eeced by ABC’s Emma Al-berici last year was priceless.

She asked him on Lateline, ‘Why the sudden obsession with keeping election promis-es? You didn’t keep the prom-ise when it came to health and education. “No new taxes” was what you said before the 2013 election and you intro-duced the three per cent defi -cit repair tax. You promised no cuts to the ABC and took $44m from us. Tony Abbott promised you wouldn’t shut any Medicare locals; all of them are gone. Julie Bishop promised no cuts to foreign aid and that it would grow in line with infl ation. Instead it was frozen, which represents a $6 billion real cut, then it was Tony Abbott’s paid paren-tal leave policy that has also been abandoned.’

Mitch Fifield (minister against Communications, minister against the Arts). Th e government’s unrelenting hostility towards anyone who doesn’t think like themselves extends of course to the na-tional broadcaster. Fifi eld is no fan. Now Turnbull and his moderates are gone, will the ABC be defunded at an in-creased rate? Fifi eld is a proud member of Th e Institute Of Public Affairs (IPA), which is not so much a think tank but rather a training ground for far-right-wing politicians. Th e IPA and most of Morr-sion’s cabinet hate the ABC. So will Labor restore full ABC funding under a rainbow of sparkles and unicorns…?

Peter Dutton (minister for Home Aff airs and Gymps). Peter Plodder lost the lead-ership spill 45 to 40, which means nearly half of the Lib-erals are thick enough to think he is electable as PM. Hooray for this quasi-democracy!

WITH the Turnbull government in crisis again this week with yet another leadership spill in play, the country seems to be at a standstill, and it seems the countries energy crisis is once again on the back burner.

Just a week ago, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee policy proposal was in full swing. At the start of the week Turnbull was claiming majority party support in favour of the NEG. Fast forward to Friday and the NEG is all but ashes and any certainty around a defined energy policy is dashed again, however the threat to abolish the Small Renewable Energy scheme nine years early remains a very real possibility.

If the government acts on the recommendations of the ACCC to abolish the small-scale renewable energy scheme, the cost of a 5kW residential system will increase by approximately $2,750. That’s a 45 per cent increase.

With all this uncertainty at play just how does that affect us right now? STC’s that how. The small-scale technology certificates that are applied to solar PV systems as a rebate to encourage more home to make the switch to solar are in a state of flux with a rapid decrease over the last week for the first time this year. Until now the STC has remained stable all year.

With so much uncertainty swirling around the nation’s energy policy again, it is possible it may drop again, or even worse be abolished all together, driving up the cost of solar systems dramatically.

Now is the time to take the power back, if you’re considering solar energy, now is the time to act to avoid any further price hikes and take control of your energy future.

SAE Group have dropped the price on a quality Seraphim and Fronius solar systems so you can secure a quality solar system now and beat the price rise.

The system comprises of a 5kW Fronius inverter and 20 x 275watt seraphim panels. The Fronius inverter is regarded as one of the best on the market, Austrian designed, the Fronius inverter is backed by a 5 year product warranty and delivers excellent monitoring capabilities should you wish to add this to your system. Complementing the Fronius inverter with Seraphim 275-watt panels, rounds out a high-quality system that is designed to withstand the harshest of Australian climates. Seraphim panels also come with a 10-year product warranty and 25-year performance warranty, one of the strongest warranties on the market at this price point.

The team at SAE Group are Master Electricians first and foremost, so you can also rest easy knowing you’re dealing with highly experienced, qualified staff. From consultation, to quality installation, and after sales service, they are with you the whole way, and offer a 12-year workmanship warranty with every installation.

If you’re interested in securing your energy future, or looking for a solution that will protect you from crippling electricity prices, call SAE Group 1300 18 20 50 or jump on their website www.saegroup.com.au to take advantage of this offer before it runs out.

RMS fi nally set to install koala signage around BangalowChris Dobney

Th e Roads and Maritime Ser-vice (RMS) looks set to fi nally install koala warning signs at two hotspots near Bangalow after more than 12 months of promises and a number of koala deaths in the area.

Bangalow Koalas convenor Linda Sparrow told Th e Echo she had received a letter from roads minister Melinda Pavey saying that signage would be placed on a stretch of Lismore Road lined with koala food trees in September.

Four deaths in two years

Ms Sparrow said that in the 100-metre section of road between Dudgeons Lane and Slatterys Lane some four koalas have been killed by car strike in the past two years.

Th e section of road is adja-cent to the site of the proposed food precinct, which was with-drawn aft er protests including that it would have been in an area of prime koala habitat.

Ms Pavey wrote, ‘With re-

gard to Lismore Road, two koala warning signs have been ordered and are sched-uled to be installed by mid-September’.

‘An independent ecologi-cal contractor has started a monitoring program that will be in place for up to 15 years. Th is will help measure the ef-fectiveness of the mitigation measures,’ she added.

Ms Sparrow says the agree-ment to erect signage is the re-sult of some 12 months of cam-paigning by Bangalow Koalas.

‘Way back in August last year, aft er I had to pick up a dead male just down from Slatterys Lane, I sent out an email to everyone and Simon Richardson said he would get onto it.

‘Th e RMS said in October it would be up before Christ-mas – and that never hap-pened – so I kept chasing.

‘In March, Council chased it again. Last Friday I emailed them again to say there was still nothing.

‘Th en on Sunday I picked up another road kill, which actually happened Friday night.’

Ms Pavey’s letter promis-ing the signage arrived yes-terday (Th ursday, August 23).

Ms Sparrow said the exact location of the signs had now been modified to take into account the group’s recent plantings of koala feed trees.

RMS ‘dropped ball’

Although not specifi cally mentioned in the letter, Th e Echo understands the RMS have also agreed for signage in another Bangalow koala hotspot on Hinterland Way, between the old Sunnycrest truck stop and the Granu-aille Road exit.

‘Th ank goodness for that,’ Ms Sparrow said, ‘because people fl y through there’.

She said during the week she’d attended to a koala trapped on a thin strip of land between Hinterland Way and Granuaille Road.

In an email sighted by Th e Echo, a council officer says RMS regional manager John Alexander had ‘admitted RMS had dropped the ball’ on the request.

Mindfulness events Sept and OctTwo leading practitioners of mindfulness will be holding workshops at Temple Byron in the next two months.

On September 8 and 9, Zen- and Th eravada-trained Patrick Kearney will explore the nature of mindfulness and its practice, as taught by the Buddha.

He says, ‘We are not con-cerned with “religion” or any dogmatic beliefs, but only with the systematic explora-tion of the nature of human experience.’

And on October 14 and 15, meditation teacher and clinical psychologist Malcolm Huxter will present work-

shops on ‘mindfulness and se-renity meditation, equanimity (centred, balanced resilience) and relationship qualities of warm friendliness, apprecia-tion and compassion.’

Philanthropic night in Bruns



USE YOUR OTHER HAND

When you’re parked parallel to the kerb and you go

to open the door onto a bike lane, please reach over

with your far hand, the driver’s left hand, instead.

This forces you to swivel your body and brings any

cyclists approaching from behind into view, thus

avoiding ‘dooring’ them and perhaps saving a life in

the process. This is known as the Dutch Reach, and has

protected many cyclists from a world of pain.

Teen pursues sustainable farming passionA 17-year-old Mullumbimby Shearwater Steiner School student with a passion for sustainable farming is setting up a pasture-raised, free- range egg farm at his school.

Oliver Bora says that dur-ing the past year he has been ‘working hard utilising most of my subjects to make a profes-sional business plan, a crowd-funding video and networking skills to promote the video’.

He described the support he’s received as ‘amazing’.

‘When I get my business going, from each carton sold, 50 cents will be saved to give as a head start to the next young business kid coming through my school. I want to encourage other kids to use their subjects now to get ahead,’ Oliver said.

Andrew Carter, farm manager at Shearwater Steiner School, said that ever since Oliver pitched the idea to ‘we wanted to support him entirely’.

‘Allowing students to fol-low their passions will help them get the most out of their

education,’ Mr Carter said.Oliver said that by devel-

oping his Oliver’s Hens busi-ness model as a school pro-ject, ‘I’ve started to see how this enterprise brings togeth-er all my subjects: business studies, design and technol-ogy, maths and English’.

‘It seems to me this kind of learning is a whole branch of education that is only just being tapped into – and holds so much potential for teach-ing real-world skills.’

Joel Orchard from North-ern Rivers Young Farmers is very supportive and said, ‘We need more young farm-ers. Let’s get behind him so he can lead the way.’

Oliver also has the sup-port of Santos Organics, Th e Farm Byron Bay, Department of Primary Industries, The Community Gardens Mul-lumbimby and a few coffee shops around Byron Shire.

Oliver’s Hen’s crowdfund-ing video is being launched via Pozible. For more info visit www.pozible.com/pro-ject/olivers-hens.

Youth mental health screening September 6Local fi lmmaker Darius De-vas is holding a fundraiser screening Th ursday Septem-ber 6 at Pighouse Flicks for his new documentary series called HeadOn.

Darius says the films tackle youth mental health, and the new documentary is called Spirit Walker –

Clinton’s Walk For Justice. He says, ‘It tracks the

last stage of young Indig-enous man Clinton Pryor’s 11-month protest walk from Perth to Canberra in the name of justice for his peo-ple, and the incredibly disre-spectful reception he received from Turnbull.’

Native planting resource launched A new free online resource is available that identifi es more than 1,550 local native plants.

The Tweed Byron Na-tive Species Planting Guide was developed by the Byron and Tweed Shire Councils and Brunswick Valley Land-care and Tweed Landcare, and encourages gardeners to plant natives into their gardens.

Alison Ratcliffe, Byron Shire Council’s Landcare sup-port offi cer, said the guide is a database of what native plants are available in this area and what plants are good for a particular purpose.

The guide is available at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Na-tiveSpeciesPlantingGuide/Byron.

Falls Festival introduces patron safety initiative Organisers of Falls Festival, held at the North Byron Park-lands in Yelgun, say they will be introducing sexual assault counsellors to all sites.

Assisting alongside onsite medical teams and police, or-ganisers say the counsellors ‘will be able to provide im-mediate crisis care, introduce victims to local support ser-vices for short- and long-term help and guide them through the various processes should they want to engage police to pursue further action.’

It’s part of a ‘constant pro-cess of improvement’ for Falls Festival, say organisers.

Other measures to im-prove safety include increas-

ing number of CCTV cameras across the site and security in the campgrounds. Key event staff will also undertake psy-chological fi rst aid training

Zero-tolerance Falls co-producers Jessica

Ducrou and Paul Piticco said, ‘Falls has a zero-tolerance pol-icy with regard to dangerous and irresponsible behaviours; the safety of our patrons is our foremost concern.’

‘We work year round to bring together incredible events at some of Australia’s most iconic locations – we want everyone to feel free and safe in our spaces and to leave with great memories.’

Earth ’n’ Sea Pizza has moved!

A space for sharing and helping others In June 2017 Byron local Kris-tin Murray opened up a cen-tre called the Womens Shack in the Arts and Industry Es-tate, Byron Bay.

The Womens Shack had been Kristin’s dream since her 2011 trip to Nicaragua, where she volunteered with the Earth Education project, a charity that helps displaced women in the La Chureca rubbish dump.

The Earth Education project not only employs the women to make recy-cled jewellery, but also gives women social skills and edu-cation.

Kristin left Nicaragua with a vision to create a haven for women to come to and to not only be replenished by but also to share from, which is what the Womens Shack does.

Homeless womenKristin created a non-

profit that runs out of the Womens Shack, called the One Woman to Another pro-ject, which supplies sanitary items and blankets to home-less women on the streets as well as post-abortion packs to women who have experi-enced an abortion.

She says, ‘So far, I have do-nated blankets and sanitary items to women on the streets in Byron and am waiting on more supplies for an Angli-can homeless youth project in Surfers Paradise. I have also privately donated post-abor-tion packs to women who see me directly.

‘Women really need all of the support that they can get during this time,’ says Kristin.

‘The venue, which was formerly known as Red Tent

Yoga, is a luscious paradise for men and women alike, as men are welcome to many of the things off ered in the space. However, the Womens Shack is primarily a safe place where women can share their skills and can learn about and be supported through the many aspects of womanhood that are so greatly missed in our education system and society.

‘Many women who come to our circles are so happy to learn about the female body,

about the diff erent phases of the menstrual cycle, and the diff erent phases of life.’

Kristin says the space is an unoffi cial non-profi t and that the costs are kept low and accessible, which covers the cost of running the space.

She says, ‘The Womens Shack off ers these services at really reasonable rates mak-ing it accessible to the com-munity.’ For more info on the wide range of activities on of-fer, visit www.womenshack.com or call 0468 496 807.

The poor state of governance nationally became clear this week when the Australian Chess Federation anointed a small Melbourne tournament as the offi-cial Australian Open.

The Canterbury Summer Swiss, held during the gap between Christmas and New Year, is well established as a pleasant warm-up tournament before the nation-al championship. However, the organisers probably never expected to be rescuing the ACF from their own ineptitude by renaming the event the Australian Open.

Consequently the 2019 Open, established in the calendar for decades as an early January event, will be played in the wrong year, over five days instead of eleven, and with a prize fund half that of Canberra’s Doeberl Cup.

The Melbourne organisers have a fine pedigree but in trying to help out the ACF have been dealt an impossible hand, with players given only four months’ notice to change their holiday plans.

The Open fiasco caps off a disastrous year for an increasingly shambolic ACF, which has shown itself to be unprepared for the takeover of junior chess adminis-

tration at the start of the year.Top juniors expecting to com-

pete internationally have been frustrated by the absence of calls for applications for major events. When juniors took the initiative and applied for events they were starved of information by the ACF, which also failed to appoint selectors.

The Australian Junior Champ-ionships, the best attended classi-cal tournament in Australia, would have gone the same way as the Australian Open but was saved late in the day by a former official of the Australian Junior Chess League, an organisation which the ACF had starved into extinction at the end of 2017.

In only two areas does the ACF now show a level of professional-ism: the running of a domestic rating system and coordination with the world body FIDE. Yet even here the ACF has made mis-steps, almost sabotaging one of the two Grandmaster tournaments in Australia in 2017 by initially voting not to rate the event.

Such maladministration would in a normal organisation have caused those officials responsible for the failures to resign. Yet with no-one putting their hand up for a leadership challenge, the poor governance is likely to continue.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Byron’s fair shareCouncil needs shorter meetings or complimentary stimulants.

Or put another way, torture has many forms, and one is B-grade

political banter to a mostly empty room.

Last Thursday’s council meeting in the Mullum chambers

kicked off at 4pm with two hours of public access (which was

full), but by around 8pm it was clear that hapless staff and two

journos left in the room were going to have endure a late night.

It fi nished around 11pm.

So what happened? Heaps! Yet with some small preparation

and less yaddah yaddah and humbug it could been over much

earlier. The Railway Park rotunda location was sorted (see page

2), a major urban development for Saddle Road (between Mul-

lum and Brunswick) was thrashed out (see page 1) and a further

report was requested around the ongoing issues at the very

popular and disintegrating Broken Head Reserve and Seven

Mile Beach Roads. The mayor’s motion was supported, which

will look at a ticketing system at the entrance to Seven Mile

Beach Road and sealing the roads.

Another issue where Council has limited funds and no real

powers (hint: the state government controls everything) is

Byron High School traffi c safety at Arakwal Court.

Concerns about safety were explained to councillors by

principal Janine Marcus in afternoon access. Cr Paul Spooner’s

motion passed, which keeps staff moving along and also asks

them to ‘Identify the most viable option between traffi c lights

or a roundabout at the intersection.’

It was around this point that the Greens mayor suggested

that as local Nationals MLC Ben Franklin is challenging sitting

MP Greens Tamara Smith for the upcoming state election

(though yet to be a candidate), it was an excellent opportunity

to lobby him for all sorts of improvements for the Shire.

The Echo agrees. So here’s a short list.

Don’t waste everyone’s time with a post mortem of the ap-

proved holiday industry after the government’s undercooked

holiday laws have been in place for a year – instead, push for

Council to be paid a bed tax via Airbnb and other platforms like

they are in progressive larger economies in the US and Europe.

Instigate an immediate inquiry into the eff ectiveness or

otherwise of unelected planning panels (such as the JRPP) that

determine questionable large developments.

And regardless of that outcome, push for decision making to

be returned to an elected body – councils.

Lobby RMS to widen the one-lane roundabout outside the

Byron Central Hospital and spank the bureaucrat behind that

silly decision.

Lobby for a light rail service to connect all the Shire’s towns

to invigorate economic activity and community.

Those are just a few, so let’s all get cracking on it!

I n the end Malcolm Bligh Turnbull left the offi ce just as he managed it – in ap-

peasement, denial, dithering, procrastination, bluster, bra-vado, resentment and eventual capitulation – albeit with a char-acteristic burst of petulance.

In the process he dumped almost all the more important policies he had demanded as vi-tal for the country and went so far as to close down parliament in an attempt to avoid the con-sequences of his backfl ips, cow-ardice and his incompetence.

It started a long time ago, and the Longman by-election became an important catalyst, but the fi nal collapse was trig-gered by the abandonment of the NEG, which was supposed to be essential in providing both stability and popularity.

It had achieved neither within the dysfunctional Liberal Party room, but there were signs that Labor was preparing to provide the bipartisan support Turnbull said he had always wanted. Th is would have given Turnbull the result, the outcome, that just about everyone was pleading for; but this was not about policy, it was about politics.

Turnbull could never bear the humiliation of watching La-bor vote with him while a hand-ful of coalition rats crossed the fl oor. So no deal, no NEG – and now no Turnbull.

Not that there was much left of him anyway. Various mem-bers of what Turnbull calls the insurgency claim that they had to act because Turnbull’s policies were drift ing too far to the left .

But they found it hard to name any of them, which is hardly a surprise because Turn-bull gave them everything they wanted and more, even antici-pating their demands.

Tony Abbott once told Tony Windsor he would do anything to gain the top job except sell his arse; it is not clear that Turnbull

would even resist that funda-mental reservation.

From the start of his miser-able regime, the progressive lib-eralism Turnbull promised in his life before parliament and in the initial period within it was wiped out in order to secure his ambi-tion – his birthright as he saw it. His government began as skewed to the right and kept going.

Th e break was not about the policies Turnbull was pursuing, but about the fear and loathing that he just might revert to the ones he long ago espoused. Th at, and of course his overthrow of the right’s hero, Tony Abbott.

And quite apart from any-thing else, they just didn’t like the man.

Th ey were prepared to strap on the suicide-bomber belts if necessary to get rid of him.

And they have, although only up to a point; Turnbull, if he sticks to his word, will shortly be gone but neither Abbott nor his protégé Peter Dutton has succeeded, and both are there to fi ght on.

Turnbull, in one of the very few wins of his lamentable time as leader, has fi nagled Scott Mor-rison through what is being de-scribed as the middle.

Well, this depends on where you are standing, but Morrison is no namby-pamby centrist. He is, and has always been, a crea-ture of the right, both economi-cally and socially.

He is a dedicated union basher and an evangelical Pen-tacostalist, a worshipper of the free market and a fringe religion.

And never forget he was the original architect of the ‘stop the

boats’ policy. He would have no difficulty about incorporating Dutton and even Abbott in his cabinet and encouraging them to pursue the culture wars they so enjoy – if they can be trusted to behave themselves. So much for the new generation.

Th ere will be, Morrison said, echoing Turnbull’s own ascen-sion, continuity and change; but a lot more of the former.

Which of course brings us to the question: What madness enveloped the party to rip itself to bits so publicly and so blood-ily for what has been a pretty uninspiring result?

The damage has been im-mense, and not only to the Lib-eral Party – or what remains of it.

Th e sight of the nation’s par-liament degenerating into utter chaos before being shut down al-together has done as much to re-pel those who are already cynical about the democratic structure as the worst excesses of Donald Trump – more, probably, because they are closer to home.

And the last week cannot be dismissed as a deranged aber-ration; Morrison might talk of leaving the past behind, a fresh government united in its high purpose to serve the people, but as soon as Question Time resurfaces, as soon as Abbott reappears on television (not that he has ever vanished) the punters will remember how very unloveable they all are, and by extension the system that pro-duces them.

And while the loathing will be universal, the Libs will cop the brunt of it – and so they should – the likelihood is that

the public will be as much be-mused as repulsed, because what has really changed?

A Band-Aid has been ad-ministered to the schism be-tween moderates and rightists but the war will go on unabated.

Malcolm Turnbull was re-sponsible for his own demise – the combination of personal arrogance and political timor-ousness was always going to be fatal.

But having said that, he is en-titled to believe that it was not entirely about him – it was about that bloody divided party.

Abbott was the great dis-rupter, but he had a zealous, if small, band of followers who were determined to remake the Liberal Party in their own image or blow it to smithereens.

John Howard had shown them it could be pushed to the right; Abbott confirmed the trend. Turnbull and the main-stream resisted, but it only takes one side to start a war.

As the ex-prime minister watched his ministers walk out the door until he was almost the last man standing he might have mused on the words with which the great Bruce Petty summed up, many years ago, another fail-ing Liberal prime minister:

Th e boy stood on the burning deck

Whence all but he had fl edAnd a staggering piece of

insightKept running around in his

head.When the fl ame of truth hits

the ship of stateAnd the tides of time are

turningTh ey tend to bucket the

captain –But the ship is what is burning.

That prime minister was Billy McMahon.

Will Malcolm Turnbull be remembered with similar deri-sion? And if not, why not?

Tophat exits, crazies take full control

Th e damage has been immense,

and not only to the Liberal Party

– or what remains of it.

Science sceptic?The climate science debate has been running for way too many action-stalling years. Why?

The term science comes from the Latin word scien-tia, meaning ‘knowledge’. So all sciences are fields of evidence-based knowledge. Simple.

So why are there still peo-ple within our knowledge-soaking, protein-rich, healthy communities who refute cli-mate science? Do they also actively refute the outcomes of science in their daily lives?

All manner of science, from the knowledge that smashing a rock can make for a sharp food-cutting tool,

to the vastly adopted inven-tions of cars, jet planes, bridg-es, highrise buildings, TVs, computers etc are taken to-tally as a given, no questions asked, thanks to the sciences of metallurgy, maths, physics, chemistry.

But the science of climate is notably excluded by some.

How can we trust our lives so directly with all sciences’ involvement, but not for one of its disciplines, climate science?

The peer group scrutiny and agreement amongst the overwhelming majority of climate scientists globally is telling and warning us that all life on Earth as we know it is collapsing at an increasingly

alarming rate, and that we all must act immediately to miti-gate our emissions to avert this global disaster NOW or run the imminent risk of civi-lisation collapse.

That’s everything for all time, because going beyond the tipping point of when no amount of CO2 mitigation will make any diff erence will take nature tens of thousands of years to rectify, if it does at all.

It’s bizarre not to transi-tion out of coal and oil into free endless renewable en-ergy via the sun. Yet this is what enough of us are vot-ing for, election after elec-tion; a government that actively pursues the energy

technologies of the 1950s.For all climate denialists

and coal huggers, please ask yourselves, ‘Why you trust all of the sciences with your life, but not the science of climate?’

Hospital foodRecently I got to sample the unpalatable food dished up in our local hospitals. Whether you are recovering from major surgery or are very sick, the food you are served should be fresh and appetising.

All hot meals served at Murwillumbah and Tweed hospitals are pre-cooked and frozen in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide.

The computer ordering system very often gets the order wrong. The catering staff at both hospitals are fed up with the system and the complaints they receive daily from the patients.

One woman confi ded in me, ‘Today and yesterday are the first days that I haven’t broken down in tears!’ she told me. ‘I used to sing all day at work. I’ve worked here for over 30 years. I can’t wait till I retire in two years’.

Later I heard her across in the opposite ward, start-ing her standard spiel of the menu, in her gruff , unhappy voice, until she remembered,

Holiday letting Fair Trading Minister Matt Kean in his introduction speech to the Fair Trading Amendment (Short Term Rental Accommodation) Bill, 2018, stated ‘If the investiga-tion of a complaint regarding a host or guest fi nds that they have committed a serious breach of the Code more than once over a two year period, the guest or host will be listed on the register’ (Hansard 6 June, 2018).

Based on his statement, VOHL (Victims Of Holiday Letting) has major concerns that a still undeveloped Code of Conduct will not protect the residential amenity of neighbours of holiday lets.

Kean’s statement appears to indicate that if the occu-

pants of a holiday let make a disturbance such as off ensive noise, then only a penalty (‘strike’) will be applied to the guest and not the host who is the owner/manager. There-fore, the owner/manager is not taking any responsibility for a failure in their vetting and management.

Online platforms and hosts are only provided with the name and address of the principal guest who gives credit card details. If this guest is listed on the regis-ter, they can easily circum-vent any imposed restriction by getting another relative or friend to make future book-ings. Invited friends are oft en a further cause of residential amenity damage.

VOHL has always stated that owners must be held responsible in this Code to solve any problems that arise where residential amenity is disrupted. Hosts allow guests into their holiday let for com-mercial gain and should take responsibility for problems that arise. In hotel, motel and B&B accommodation man-agement and/or security are onsite to immediately resolve any disturbance.

Our permanent residents must be protected.

School fi ghtTh e community of Pottsville and surrounds continue the fi ght to establish a secondary education facility in southern Tweed Shire. In its own state-ment via budget announce-ments, the Department of Education stated that projec-tions of government school enrolments for 2019–20 were to be over 40,000 higher than that of 2015–16 yet there is still no plan for a government high school in Pottsville – de-spite land being set aside for that very purpose.

As subdivisions continue across the Tweed Shire, with an estimated 4,500 homes in the Kings Forest housing estate alone, the question is being asked – how will the children who move into this area be educated once they reach secondary school?

Kingscliff High School’s current enrolment of 1,280 students continues to in-crease as more families move to the Tweed Shire. Most of

those who have moved to the Pottsville area in par-ticular were lured here with the promise of a high school to be built in the very near future.

Land earmarked in 2000 for the school is still vacant and those who have moved to the area with children are now placing their children on buses for commutes of up to 45 minutes each way.

The 2016 Census Data shows 485 students from Pottsville, Bogangar, Burr-ingbar, Hastings Point and Cudgen Creek are commut-ing to high school for up to 45 minutes one way. While the NSW government funds the school bus use of these chil-dren, the amount of money spent per student could easily fund a new school in Potts-ville and save the government millions of wasted dollars.

When children commute to school, they are removed from their local community. Th is aff ects the children’s abil-ity to obtain part-time jobs and play sport in their lo-cal community. Th e fl ow on eff ect is then felt with local business as they lose not only the children, but the parents. Appointments are made in Kingscliff instead of Pottsville because the dentist or doctor

Here & Now: When politics fails, art inspiresStory & image S Sorrensen

Nimbin. Saturday, 10.15pm

While the boys were playing Touch My Penis in parlia-

ment house, adults had gath-ered in the Nimbin School of Arts for the second Blue Moon Cabaret of the year. And I really wanted to mix with adults tonight.

With hot winds fanning fi res around the tribal land in an ever-earlier fi re season, and with the juvenile but cat-astrophic shenanigans in the government playground, my week had climaxed into a Sat-urday of tension. I could feel it knotting in my shoulders; I could hear it ringing in my ears as my tinnitus yanked on the bells of anxiety.

After the MC leaves the stage, two local women en-ter from opposite directions, large green feather fans hid-ing their faces. Th ey prance to centre stage where a trapeze hangs above them.

GobbledygookI have given up on politics;

you will not get a mature re-sponse to the pressing prob-lems facing our society from a politician. You will get, at best, obfuscating gobbledy-gook; at worst, lies layered on lies creating a giant pancake of falsehood, liberally doused in short-term sweetener, cooked up to placate the rav-enous appetite of the obesely rich. And the climate clock ticks…

Australia has no energy policy. Still. Th ere are some – and they’re in government – who deny climate science. Still. How is that possible? Is the bubble of the elite so thickly insulating that they honestly think they know better than the overwhelm-ing majority of climate scien-tists? Or is it short-term self-

advantage (does the bubble have air-conditioning?) that drives the incompetence? In short, are politicians stupid or selfi sh?

I have given up on poli-tics, so it’s with some trepida-tion that I see good people (adults), who have fought bravely and eff ectively in our communities for positive change, move into that dirty game. Will it be our gain, or our loss? Politics at that level has the power to neuter the potency of the most positive activist, to shackle the most energetic, to tire the most re-lentless.

If politicians cannot help us, where do we look for guidance?

Laying down her feather fan, one of the women swings

onto the trapeze in a graceful, seemingly effortless move-ment. Elegance is the act of achieving much with little obvious eff ort: the wedge-tail eagle riding the winds above my shack under the cliff s; a rose in a pot on my verandah slowly blooming from bud to glorious fl ower. And it is with elegance that the second woman, with a hand from the fi rst, ascends to the trapeze.

Leadership failureOn the other hand, with a

maximum of expensive fuss, the government achieves nothing. Th is bland wardrobe of suits failed to create an en-ergy policy that incorporates the reality of a changing cli-mate. It has failed to even mount the trapeze, let alone

do something beautiful with it. It’s been an inelegant spec-tacle of leadership failure by all of government. Of course, the failure is a win to the self-ish and stupid.

The two women, bodies like panthers, are twisting and turning like DNA on the single trapeze. Th ere is a gasp from the audience as one of the women slides head-fi rst down the other to snap to halt, just above the fl oor, hanging by a foot clasped by the other woman. Applause.

I needed to be with adults tonight. Adults who can talk properly, who dress with in-dividual creativity, who un-derstand the enormity of the challenge that faces us, who appreciate human elegance. We have listened to music, watched dance, seen acro-bats. We come to strengthen the bonds of community as we hurtle into the new era, abandoned by politicians, inspired by artists, knowing that somewhere in the crea-tive elegance of humanity lies our future.

Here be adults.

is closer to the school. Par-ents shop in Kingscliff as they have had to attend a meeting at the school so it is easier to do it there than have to go out twice.

Without a secondary school, the community is missing out on business and the children are missing out on valuable opportunities to work in their local com-munity. As children face a commute for six years, HSC completion rates drop in these areas, simply put, these children are on a bus when

others are already home and studying. These children are preparing for their commute to school almost an hour before those students with a local high school are eating breakfast.

In some instances this is not avoidable. In the instance of a Pottsville high school, this is clearly avoidable due to the land already awaiting de-velopment and the children ready and willing to attend the high school.

The 2016 Census Data showed the estimated popu-lation growth to 2036 in the

Tweed Shire increasing by 33.19 per cent, and the larg-est age group the Tweed Shire has are 5–9 year olds. Why are the education needs of these children are not being planned for now?

Development dreamsAt the last council meeting community members raised concerns regarding the re-classification of Byron’s Rail-way Park’s status to ‘General Community Use’. This pro-posed status is important to

Council as it allows possibil-ity for development (in time) and ‘reduces noise’.

This proposed definition also reduces the ability of citi-zens to meet and voice oppo-sition to neo-con economic agendas and proposed devel-opment (in the future). That is what ‘peaceful use’ seems to mean. A means to quell any inclusive democratic com-munity opposition to Coun-cil and crony demands for ongoing development.

The Park has had Artisan Markets for some time and this commercialism has not

created any great commu-nity concern and as a special event would seem allowable under the current Park status. At the meeting a speaker ex-pressed deep concern about the seeming justification for more commercial develop-ment and laying of cement.

These markets and the potential for other future ‘commercial activities’ create a mechanism of ‘soft surveil-lance’. Supporting wedge poli-tics an example was offered of a sleeping homeless man who seemed to carry the projected mythological demonology of the bogey man that lurks in Parks to terrify citizens and little children. Commercial-ism as an actor of ‘soft sur-veillance’ would get rid of the local problem of homeless-ness. No equity policy seems to exist in Council and all fo-cus goes to developers.

There has been growing moral panic about the need to get rid of the ‘Hippies’ and now, very obviously the ‘Homeless’. Also certain crit-ics object to the ‘Dirty-ness’ which also seems to be as-sociated with the latter hu-man categorisations. Does that justify all of the cement now being placed in the Park? No empirical evidence was offered of incidents that jus-tified this moral panic just personal/political prejudice supported justification for the re-classification, and no doubt future development in the space.

A question was asked as to whether the Arakwal peo-ple have been involved in the process of reclassification. We were assured they were. When asked what their po-sition was this question re-vealed confusion.

Submissions against re-classification were submitted and the voice of opposition from the Byron Environment Centre (BEC) has been an ongoing critic of the master-plan non-democratic process. Only recently have minutes of the masterplan team been placed on Facebook. The masterplan group have been operative for several years.

The Israel debateThank you Danny Wakil (Letters 22 August). Finally a voice that has the intellect, spirit of heart, and factual knowledge to bring some bal-anced discussion to the Mid-dle East table.

Yes, this has indeed be-come a vexed and compli-cated issue, however, misin-formation and misalignment does nothing to encourage a way forward to authentic

consideration and tolerant thinking.

I support Mr Wakil in his efforts to address a more informed and balanced discussion.

In recent weeks letters have appeared in The Echo accus-ing me of seeking to ‘stir up hatred against Israel’ and making it ‘look like an evil state’. In each case The Echo has declined to publish my responses. The implication is that Israel doesn’t deserve the criticism, it’s an innocent victim that is being unfairly criticised by someone who is simply prejudiced against Jews.

It is indicative of the self-absorbed nature of Zionist partisans that they invariably consider criticism of Israel to be motivated by irrational ha-tred, bias and anti-semitism. Nowhere in their tedious propaganda is there a glim-mer of compassion for the Palestinians or an awareness that concern for the plight of Palestinians motivates critics of the Zionist agenda.

A little elbow greaseThere must be others who have discovered just how few consumer products are required to keep you, your dwelling and also the envi-ronment clean.

For many decades now I have not purchased dish wash-ing liquid. All that is needed is a tissue to wipe the oil from utensils, then a scourer, if necessary water. Water and ‘elbow grease’ will be just as effective. Saves a lot of money too. A back brush is all that is needed for showering, no soap – which is very drying.

Occupants in a house I once shared told me that my cleaning of the shower with bicarbonate of soda was the best clean it had received com-pared to the various chemicals they normally used.

Vinegar will disinfect sur-faces and clean windows.

Our seas and rivers are so polluted, why add oils and detergents where creatures that benefit the ecology are endeavouring to exist?

I have visited many homes and been amazed at the range of ‘ghastly unguents’ under sinks.

Italian artisan-style gelatoBy S Haslam

In the Pink Gelato in Jonson St opened on 1 September 1988 (30

years ago)* and is an incredibly popular place, serving around

200,000 gelatos a year. Surprisingly, their customer base has moved

from being families in the 80s and 90s (most popular flavour then:

chocolate) and is now almost 90 per cent adults (most popular now:

Ferrero Rocher and salted caramel Nutella)

I suspect it’s the quality – they have always made their gelato

from scratch in the old-school Italian artisan style, sourcing fresh

blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and bananas from the farmers

market, and macadamias, passionfruit, limes and mangoes locally,

along with Norco milk of course.

‘The rule for the most outstanding flavour in all foods holds good for

gelato with the in-season fruits being the best by far’, says owner Glen

Lawrence, who takes his craft seriously, travelling regularly to Italy to

keep up with the latest ideas.

‘Most gelato these days is industrial, heavy on stabilisers, emulsifiers’,

he says. ‘Artisan to me means old school slow style. Maximum

freshness with minimal stabilisers. If you drop our gelato on the

ground it will melt; scarily much of the gelato in Australia and Italy

would not.

While many might resent having to travel to Italy to try gelato, Glen

somehow manages to make it fun. ‘In Sicily I tried my favourite gelato’,

he says, ‘at a small hole-in-the-wall shop. You couldn’t see the gelato

but they only used seasonal ingredients and it was outstanding.’

He also loves the cultural aspect to gelato. ‘The Italian Sunday

afternoon promenade is a huge ritual that nearly always includes

gelato,’ he says. ‘It is a firm part of their way of life that looks pretty

nice from a gelato shop-owner perspective.’

The newest flavours at In the Pink over winter have been the very

rich chocolate sorbet (dairy free) and Espresso Martini or Lemon

Cheesecake gelato. The shop manufactures all its product in Byron

Shire, suppling not only Baylato and Brunswick Milkbar but also local

restaurants. ‘The best chefs understand that the best gelato flavours

are seasonal’, says Glen, ‘and some of the more interesting flavours

we’ve been putting on menus have included dragon fruit, or cocktails

sorbets like mojito or cosmo.’

The difference between gelato and ice-cream is the fat content and

freshness. Gelato has less than eight per cent fat and is meant to be

consumed fresh, with the flavour being at its peak for a few days

without all the stabilisers and artificial products that commercial ice-

cream has to use to last for months.

In the Pink has been a proud, long time sponsor of many sporting

groups and schools in the local area for 30 years. There have been

hundreds of local junior employees working their way through school

and uni at In the Pink but maybe the most famous is now an Oscar

winner living in London with his own animation company.

*Right now to celebrate the 30th year there’s a big promotion going

on. You can win a year’s supply of gelato (52 take home packs, value

$900+), drawn at the end of October.

Plus, there are happy hour(s) $1 gelato from 12 till 2pm on Saturday

and Sunday September the 1st and 2nd.

Zeb Samples the regionBy Vivienne Pearson

Zeb Gilbert is co-head chef and co-owner of Wasabi Restaurant &

Bar in Noosa. Zeb is his full first name, not just a sample of a longer

name. ‘I think my parents were going to call me Zebakyah,’ he says.

He describes his parents as alternative in their lifestyle, but for his

dad this name was going a bit far. ‘He said, “That’s not going to

happen,” so I became simply Zeb.’

His parents’ alternative views led to a childhood that Zeb now hugely

appreciates. ‘My mum is a nurse and my dad a panel beater but they

took a break and we went out to a friend’s sheep station,’ Zeb recalls.

‘Mum became the shearer’s cook and Dad and I did rouseabout work.’

Zeb and his brother Jeff (any alternative name-giving stopped

after Zeb) were homeschooled and they spent their teen years

helping the family grow animals and vegetables for food and being

surrounded by baby kangaroos and sugar gliders thanks to his

parents’ dedication to wildlife rescue. ‘We weren’t totally off the

grid but it was a different life experience,’ Zeb says.

Zeb is one of the guest chefs coming to Bangalow for this year’s

Sample Food Festival. ‘I haven’t been to Sample before but I’ve

heard from other chefs how good it is,’ he says, speaking by phone

from Noosa. ‘I love the Byron area from holidays from when I lived

in Brisbane. We’d always stay at Brunswick in the motel looking over

the river and visit Bangalow from there.’

The connections between the Byron and Noosa areas is clear in

Zeb’s mind, in terms of lifestyle and food. ‘Both have the ocean and

the hinterland. Both love food that showcases the area, and that’s

really important,’ he says.

Local food sourcing is Zeb’s connection to the Japanese food that

Wasabi is famous for. ‘Japanese food is very regional,’ says Zeb.

At Sample, Zeb will team up with TAFE students for a mystery-box

cooking challenge. ‘It should be a bit of fun,’ says Zeb, who is looking

forward to the event both as

a chance to contribute to the

nurturing of young chefs as

well as to meet his rival (in this

competition anyway), Shannon

Bennet. ‘He’s one of Australia’s

best chefs,’ says Zeb.

Zeb will also be judging the food

from great local chefs in his role

on the panel selecting Sample’s

coveted Golden Fork awards.

Before I can ask him whether he

has any favourite foods outside

his beloved Asian cuisines, Zeb

tells me that he celebrated

his 39th birthday in style the

night before our interview. ‘I

had a fried chicken burger with

coleslaw, chips and champagne

out of a paper cup,’ he says of

his meal with his wife and two

daughters, aged three and six.

With that down-to-earth style

combined with his cooking

pedigree, I think Zeb will fit in

to the Sample Food Festival

extremely well.

Short, sweet helpersBy S Haslam

Were you thinking elves? I was, but Mark Conroy is not, in fact, an elf.

‘My dad owned a dairy farm,’ says Mark, ‘and I know a few people

who live around Cobar and Orange. I grew up in that kind of farming

environment and I really feel for the farmers with 100 per cent of the

state affected by drought.’

At his market stall Short But Sweet patisserie products he works with

his sister and brother-in-law selling delicacies such as Portuguese

tarts, roasted pistachio profiteroles, gluten-free Belgian chocolate

brownies and so on.

Starting from last Saturday at the Bangalow Market, Mark is

personally donating a dollar from every sale at his stall to those guys

and gals doing it tough out west in the drought, for the next month

or so.

‘We were sitting around and we thought that a lot more people

should be doing something like this, so we are encouraging other

stallholders at the Bangalow Market to do the same,’ he said.

The following week Mark will be at the Byron Market, and the week

after at Pottsville. They have made up their own T-shirts, so if you see

them be sure to buy something yummy for a good cause.

Big move for Earth ’n’ SeaTo stay in the food business over 40 years

in Byron you must be doing something

right, but while locals Denise and David

Woolsey have kept pumping out the

pizzas, they’ve made a few daring moves

themselves. When they took over in 2003,

the pizza joint started by Bill Wheatley

and Ian Hamilton had already moved the

short distance from Jonson St to Lawson

St.

But the Woolseys took it a full 100m or

so farther from the sea to the corner of

Fletcher and Byron Streets, and after nine

years they are now, daringly, taking it

another 100m around the corner to 2/3

Marvell St, near the corner of Fletcher St, in

the old Naked Treaties site.

But the awesomeness of the pizzas will

not be diminished, with even the pizza

ovens, as well as the 20-odd staff, many

longtime locals, making the move to the

new premises. In fact, the new location

will be focused on pizzas only. There will

be a much smaller, more casual dining

area that will be BYO for wine and beer.

‘The revamped Earth ’n’ Sea Pizza

will embrace all the technology that

modern customers expect when they

think “pizza”,’ Denise says. ‘Customers’

expectations are changing when it comes

to pizza. We started online ordering

nearly four years ago and it is the fastest-

growing part of our business. More and

more customers want to be able to order

and pay online and with our own app and

inbuilt loyalty system, which should be

up and running soon. We will be moving

with the times to give them what they

want.’

BYRON BAY CHILLI COTwenty-fi ve years ago, my neighbour Frank Peate and I turned the rich, red Goonengerry soil, planting Jalapeño chiles and tomatillos on Sunrise Hill. When we realised that Mexican Micks could only use so many, my wife Lynne and I started making salsa at home, selling it with tacos at the local markets. I vividly remember the ethereal sound of this old dude who regularly played his saw at the Lismore Car Boot Markets, and the smell of our main competitors… hot dogs and fairy fl oss. Today, almost everyone is eating tacos and nachos. Times change, but the joy of feeding so many people exceptionally tasty, healthy food at a down-to-earth price has not… Thank you all. – The Bolandswww.byronbaychilli.com

Tim Foote of Belle Property in Mos-man is one of Australia’s highest achievers in the property market today. But it wasn’t always the career that Tim imagined.

‘I studied architecture at Sydney University and academically I did well, but the creative side didn’t come natu-rally. Following a stint at Lendlease in their property-graduate program, I re-

alised my skills were more in business than design.’

After that, one of his friends from Belle Property suggested he become a real estate agent. He didn’t think it would work out, but started in the Mosman office anyway, and came to love it.

Tim bought the business in 2006 and opened another office in Neutral

Bay. In 2014, Tim was awarded the industry’s highest honour – the Aus-tralian Sales Agent of the Year Award at the Real Estate Business Awards.

‘I love to give to and support oth-ers,’ said Tim. ‘That’s why I’m excited to come to Byron Bay and speak at the second Pathfinders Byron Breakfast event.

‘Pathfinders has given so many the opportunity to network across Syd-ney’s business community, so it’s great they’re now in Byron,’ said Tim. ‘From creatives right through to finance, all industries are covered and speakers such as I don’t just share their strategies for success but also their back story: what has made them who they are to-

day and how they approach challenges, leadership, motivation, health, longev-ity, spirituality and family.

‘That’s what you can expect from my talk, so I hope you can all make it,’ said Tim.

Tickets are on sale now for $65 and include a prime seat to hear Tim Foote speak, a delicious hot breakfast, and networking opportunities at Elements Resort & Spa Byron Bay on Friday 12 October.

You can visit pathfindersbyronbay.com or phone 0412 164 983 to secure your seat.

With Americana.uk placing Songs From

Dan as one of the best releases of the

year and the very critical Euro mag

OOR calling it a masterpiece, it’s clear

that when these three are together

magic happens.

‘I love the process of making music,’

says Dan.

‘It’s important to just give space to

the process without clouding it with

ambition; there is a time for that later

when it is fi nished. You have to go into

action to get where the music needs

you to go. I am really into thinking

beyond the song. I like the sound and I

like texture. When I am in the process of

making music I get all these ideas. I don’t

act on all of them. I try not to let that

get in the way of the performance. The

performance is everything. You can get

ahead of yourself if you think too much.

‘At the Mullum show we will have just three people onstage with me and they are all excellent musicians. I just know with that kind of lineup we’d create a vibe anywhere. If I get the vibe people are engaged at an empathic level, it will always infl uence how we play…’ says Dan.

Songs from Dan happened when Tuff y invited Lucie and Matt to his studio to work on some songs that he wasn’t quite sure about.

‘I had another band and the songs I

had were very country and weren’t

really working with the group I was

playing with in Holland. I knew they

were cool songs, so I played them to

Matt and Lucie and they loved them.

So we went to my studio and played

them. That session was the guts of the

album. I didn’t fi nish that though until

I had the opportunity to get into the

studio with Matt and Lucie again.’

creative process is that you have to let it come from the place before words. It’s easy to lose grip of that by over thinking or over conceptualising.’

Dan is looking forward to coming to Australia to play with Matt and Lucie.

‘I just love playing with them both,’ says Tuff y, it’s very natural. We do all of my stuff , and they really support my material; we work together to create a sound, but we don’t rehearse.’

The fourth player on the night is past band member and songwriter for Wild Pumpkins at Midnight and local resident Michael Turner (Durga Babies). Michael hasn’t performed with Lucie, Matt and Dan before, and Dan is looking forward to the musical collaboration.

Songs From Dan play at the

and Evans Head Illawong Saturday night

I have privileged white man fatigue. Frankly I’m sick of the pricks. The recent Liberal party room ‘I want a turn’ tantrum just left me and a lot of Australians cold.

Why is our country being run by ugly white bald baby men? I should clarify: balding men in suits look like giant ugly babies in onesies to me. It’s ironic: in NZ the PM had a baby, but here the PM and his crew ARE babies. New babies are gorgeous. Old Babies are gross. Our politicians behave exactly like babies. Parliament is the playroom for these enfants terribles.

I can see them bawling and sucking their thumbs perched on the Speaker’s lap for the upcoming Xmas Santa photos. Swinging their little leggies, whispering their Xmas wish to Santa to have a turn at prime minister.

I imagine the babies in the Lib party room last week, aka creche (owned by Dutton of course), on their backs kicking their trousered legs in the air crying. ‘Malcolm’s had a long turn. I want a turn. He gets all the turns.’ (We are substituting ‘turns’ here for ‘terms’… for those who may have missed my simplistic leadership metaphor).

Malcolm is in the corner, looking like he’s going to cry. No, he is crying. His bottom lip is out and it’s quivering. He’s on the little wooden motorbike and he won’t get off . His friend Matty says it’s okay. He wants him to have a long turn. Even the teacher says it’s still Malcolm’s turn so he can stay on, but the other babies are angry. They don’t want to wait for Malcolm’s turn to fi nish.

When Malcolm finishes his turn they’re worried that another group of babies might steal the bike away. It looks like Pete is going to push Malcolm off . Pete is a really ugly mean baby. He likes taking toys from other babies a lot. He helped lock a whole lot of brown babies in a jail. Those brown babies aren’t allowed in. He’s a bad baby. But he’s so good at being bad everyone thinks he’s good.

And besides he’s got Tony, the other big mean sulky baby ,with him. Tony has had a turn on the bike already, but he secretly thinks the bike is his. Even if he doesn’t get a go on the bike he just wants Malcolm off . He wants Malcolm to know what it feels like when someone wrecks your turn on the bike. This is because Malcolm took the bike from Tony when he was having his turn and he can’t get over it.

Then there’s Julie. She thinks she’s going to get a go, but that’s silly. Girl babies don’t get to ride boy bikes. Sometimes the boys let her get on the back when they’re having their turn. They even let her clean the bike. Julie will never get to ride the bike on her own. The boys let Julie line up anyway because they need lots of angry babies to scare Malcolm off the bike.

Malcolm’s not stupid; he knows that he won’t get to have his proper turn now. So he slips off the bike quietly and goes and sits on the bench at the back of the playroom. It’s the one the babies call the ‘back bench’. It’s for babies who probably won’t be getting any more turns on the bike. He might have to leave the creche all together. They might even have to call his Mummy to come and pick him up because his play time at the party is over.

For a second, no-one is on the bike. And then Scottie jumps on. Now it’s Scottie’s turn. No-one even knew he even wanted one. Scottie is pushing himself around the playroom fl oor on the little bike to the delight of most of the other babies and he’s off his face with the thrill of being in control. He’s yelling out random shit like ‘everyone will get a go, a fair go, if you want a go you get a go, so don’t go until you get a go because everything must go. That’s right, everyone gets a go.’

Except for the babies who don’t get a go. Like the brown babies locked up. In a room on another island. Scottie certainly won’t be letting them have a go. To think Peter nearly got the bike! That would have been silly, because then we would have had Dutton dressed up as PM. HELP!

We have reached peak privileged white man. Please! Can anyone who is not an ageing privileged white man please be given a turn? If anyone is going get a fair go in this country it’s time for some systemic change. It’s time we stole the bike.

THE UNKNOWNSTHE UNKNOWNS

WHAT'S ONTHIS WEEK

WHILE HER GUITAR GENTLY WEEPSByron Bay Guitar Festival director Nick Sergi is passionate about making sure women guitarists feature on his lineup.

‘Looking at history there are not many women celebrated for their guitar playing. Countless women have been and are brilliant players, but just not recognised for it. Guitar has traditionally been seen as a man’s instrument. If you Google ‘100 Best guitarists of all time’, I think there are only two women on that list, which is ridiculous. If our festival can be a platform, however small, to help shift that perception and change the conversation a bit, then I’m very happy to do that,’ he says.

BBGF is proud to present on this year’s lineup, a diverse array of female representation across several genres including Dallas Frasca, Hussy Hicks, Minnie Marks, Legs Electric, Tullara, When Hawk Met Sparrow, and performers from Byron Bay High School (still to be announced). October 6 and 7 at the Brewery. Find out more at byronbayguitarfestival.com.

A VALIANT EFFORTValiant Charger has re-tuned and is smashing it out of the garage as part of a full lineup of LIVE music coming to Mullumbimby this week.

Born from the base of Chincogan, this eclectic group is pulling back the covers on all the great songs you heard from the backseat. Recharged. Morphed.

Raw, highly skilled, energy packed… it’s a PunkPopOzRock Confusion not to be missed.

They are a five-piece powerhouse. Paddy Mac the frontman is a quirky entertainer with a voice that has you thinking he’s Bon Scott and Shirley Bassey’s love child.

Joining them on the bill is the area’s newest punk-post-punk band The Joltz. Solo performances by locals StrumDaddy and DALLAS round out a night of individual expression.

Court House Hotel, Mullumbimby – Friday 8pm. $5

NEW VIDEO FOR OUT OF RANGEOut of Range will be playing at Sphinx Rock Cafe, Mt Burrell, for Fathers Day, 12–3pm. They have just released a new video, ahead of their sets at Nimbin Roots Festival and Mullum Festival.

Check it out at https://youtu.be/YrfzDRPilzo.

MAMANTAThe Byron Theatre plays host to a very special show this Friday, sharing the journey to the Tiwi Islands with Mamanta – a moving performance honouring the past and celebrating the future. Building on their international touring acclaim, B2M (Bathurst to Melville) are embarking on their fi rst major national tour. This seven-piece band from the Tiwi Islands will showcase their unique blend of contemporary and traditional sound in a new performance that reveals the full breadth of Tiwi culture and identity! In an historic show of support from the Tiwi elders, B2M have permission to use traditional Tiwi chants and blend them with modern musical elements. Combined with vivid multimedia imagery of contemporary arts and cultural practices, Mamanta brings the Tiwi Islands to life.

At the Byron Centre on Friday at 7.30pm.

DIRTY MUSICThe Dirty Channel Duo return to The Rails this Thursday and Evans Head Illawong Saturday night for a performance of diff erent genres from slick Dobro slide guitar with some grooving percussive drums to acoustic Flamenco with Latin rhythms and other genres in between.

The Dirty Channel name originated from the warm dirty sound setting of a guittar amplifi er, which, mixed with a 1930s Dobro that was found fl oating in the bilge of a fi shing trawler gives them their unique sounds.

80S UKEMiss Amber and Stukulele will be presenting two sets of hits from the 80s. Expect some new-wave pop hits and a power ballad or two from artists like Madonna, Billy Idol, The Cars, Martha and the Muffi ns, Bowie, Kim Wilde and even Flock of Seagulls. Dress up and party like its 198-something. Guest vocalists Ash Bell and daughter Rose Eadie.

The songbook is available throughukemullum.com or live stream – subscribe to youtube.com/ukemullum so you don’t miss the notifi cation. Mullumbimby Ex-Services, Thursday, 6.30pm. Entry on the door Adults $15, $2.50 and kids under fi ve FREE.

The success of Bombs Away

and Geronimo surpassed any expectations we had. Although we felt we had something special, we were very aware that many musicians feel that way about their own music. You can never expect that to happen to you, especially when you’re just a little band from Brisbane.

Between April and June of 2014 you played with some of the biggest names touring Australia: Michael Franti, Keith Urban. How was that, a career highlight for you guys? And was it an amazing learning experience for you?

We learnt A LOT from both Franti and Urban. They have got to be some of the most genuine artists in the industry. Their humility and generosity to their fans and crew, as well as our band, is something that has stuck with us. After experiencing touring with these world-class acts we aspire to always make people feel welcome and comfortable and a part of the team.

Tell us about how your journey had inspired your new

album Watching The Sky. What is it about?

What inspired Watching the Sky was the hope of demonstrating

to our audience how important it is to have a dream and how

important it is to stay authentic to yourself and that dream.

Every song on the album has derived from a real experience,

most of which were on the road after releasing Bombs Away.

What’s your favourite song on the album?

One of my favourite moments of writing the album was when

we were all working on the track I Was Lost. In the bridge

of the song there’s a section where we each gets a turn to

sing. My line is ‘5am when the sunlight breaks, six young

minds in a crowded place’. Although we are so grateful for

the opportunities we are given, this whole section is about

how diffi cult we found extensive

touring. Being away from

friends and loved ones, being

in a very foreign place, and

endless travel take their toll

on a lot of musicians and

diff erent people handle

the stress of it all in

various ways, some

which can be very

destructive to their

regular life.

Give me three words that you’d use to describe Scott Morrison? He’s a Dill. Dangerous. Ignorant. Lucky.

What kind of prime minister do you think he’ll be. What do you think he’ll manage to achieve in his fi rst week?

Surprisingly good by the sad standards of Australian government. In week 1 he’ll fi nish the pagoda and beat his mum at Scrabble (they’re off for a fortnight).

Malcolm Turnbull took credit for gay marriage. What else can he take credit for? And Scotty Mo voted NO. Doesn’t that make him a loser in the public court of opinion?

Turnbull can take credit for wasting the greatest opportunity of his life. The natural PM of his generation blew it. On marriage equality Mal allowed a plebiscite, which epitomised his gutlessness. At the end he said he never gave in to bullies but he’d done that since day one.

ScoMo is a loser in the court of public opinion but by a smaller majority than you’d think.

Scott Morrision is old and balding. Why is this a prerequisite for power? Why can’t we be like NZ and Canada and have a ‘hot’ PM? Or if not hot, how about ethical, smart, and someone we can be proud of?

We send our spunks to Hollywood. It’s a condition of the gift of Pine Gap. Hey, how does anyone breathe let alone live and eat properly working in our political parties? That Morrison is alive is amazing. Give the prick a break, Mandy!

Scott Morrison is an evangelical Christian, and he took credit for ‘stopping the boats’. Is it possible to do both?

Yeah, ‘cos most evangelical Christians have two core beliefs: property and its protection at any cost.

What is wrong with our political system? Will we ever escape this diabolical two-party system where we the voters just sit back and watch people play ‘who can get the biggest pension’ on retirement? It feels more like careerism than governance…

We the people don’t participate enough. We’ve trusted the political class way too long. Noticed that? A change has gotta come and it will come from people outside the current system and parties.

Can Mark Swivel really become PM? How the hell could that ever happen? What would your Australia look like… what would you do with Scotty and Mal and Julie and Bill…

It’s as likely as fi nding life on Pluto. But no-one at Sydney High whose classrooms I shared with ScoMo – I was in his older brother’s year – picked him as a likely PM. If I were unkind I’d call him a talentless trier but let’s face it, that works in many walks of Austrayan life. Let’s face it, Mandy, you’d make a better PM than ScoMo. To begin with you know more about economics than he and he’s been treasurer for three years.

We would need a revolution for me to be PM. I’d govern based on building our common wealth; all the stuff we share. Government is boring, Mandy. Hard work and dull.

I would get Bill, Julie, Scott and Mal to apply for jobs in Tasmania and see how they go. And Eric Abetz. It’d make great telly.

So you are really running? Tell us about that…

Yeah. We need senators more like us. Less like Anning, Hanson and especially Leyonhelm. When Mark Latham threatened to run again saying he’d save us from ‘political correctness, identity politics and anti-white racism’, I thought, ‘jeez I’m busy but I better have a crack’.

… and the show?

Expect songs, funnies, hula hoops. Answers to the questions like: What is politics about and what is class warfare, really? There’s also a sealed section with serious policies in it. Everyone gets to take them home written on a piece of foolscap. Old school. It’s lovely. Trust me.

Mark Swivel’s Make Austraya Slightly Better than Average Again is on at the Drill Hall on Friday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 5pm. Tix $10 at the door or online at swiv.com.au.

25 YEARS ON… YOTHU YINDI AND THE TREATY PROJECTHot on the heels of their sensational NAIDOC Week performance in Kalgoorlie then at Queensland’s new outback event, Gulf Country Frontier Days Festival, Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project bring their new, electronica-driven show to Lismore City Hall on Saturday 15 September. The current national conversation surrounding Indigenous affairs and recent wave of new-generation artists keeping the message and culture alive – such as A.B.Original, Baker Boy, Kardajala Kirridarra, Electric Fields, not to mention the recent successful reformation tour of Midnight Oil, stalwart supporters of the cause – have made it clear that now is the time for this iconic outfi t to renew their involvement in that protest. Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project was inspired by the new remix package celebrating the 25th anniversary of Treaty (Filthy Lucre Remix), which resulted in ARIA Hall of Fame inductees Yothu Yindi reuniting with Gavin Campbell of production outfi t Filthy Lucre, in a reinvigorated formation. The outfi t features original Yothu Yindi members, along with emerging First Nations artists and special guests performing new remixes of classic Yothu Yindi hits (courtesy of producers Nubreed, Lostep and Filthy Lucre), plus brand-new material, all with an electronic twist in a cross-generational celebration of cultural diversity.

THE CHEEK OF ITTwo years in, people continue to talk about the Cheeky Cabaret and we are thrilled that some of the most incredible international artists from around the world are beating down the door to come and perform at the Brunswick Picture House. Bold, brash, sexy and dangerous, with tongue laced fi rmly in cheek, this is one party you will not want to miss! Smashing together circus, vaudeville, comedy and everything in between, the Cheeky Cabaret has rightfully become the talk of the town. Friday and Saturday at 7pm at Brunswick Picture House. brunswickpicturehouse.com.au

LINE UP FOR LAUGHS!The Court House in Mullumbimby has the area’s longest-running comedy open mic. Its been nearly nine years now that the pub has off ered new and emerging comics the chance to stand up and get some stage time. Thurs 6 Sept sees comics from around the region, including pros like Greg Sullivan (featured in our interviews this week) get up and try our new material. This month boasts travelling comics, industry professionals, absolute newbies, and our core comic group who are really putting out the magic.

Hosted by Mandy Nolan. Court House Hotel, Mullumbimby, Thursday 6 September. 8pm. Free.

LAWYER TURNED COMEDIAN TURNS IT ON!Former lawyer and now comedian Chris Radburn has earned a reputation for clever and cheeky observations that are relatable, original and hilarious. Chris has appeared as a comedian on more than 15 TV shows including The NRL Footy Show, Last Comic Standing, CNN International,

Stand Up Australia, Thursday Night Live, Getaway, Joker Poker and Sydney Comedy Festival Gala.

Over the last 15 years, this funny Aussie bloke has performed at every major festival including the Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Woodford Folk

Festival, Just for Laughs Comedy Showcase and Sydney’s World’s Funniest Island.

Chris is an award-winning writer/actor/director with his short fi lm Embellish and his two comedy web series The Guide to Being a Successful Man and The Parents.

He headlines at the Big Gig at the Ballina RSL on Thursday at 8pm and Tuesday at Ocean Shores Country Club at 7pm. Both

shows feature Mandy Nolan as MC.

to surprise you. He has such a casual style you just don’t see the punchlines coming. Greg is one of the featured comedians with the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase coming to Byron Theatre.

Why are showcases important? What kind of comedians are on board?

A showcase is a great way of seeing a whole bunch of comics doing a distilled and concentrated version of their longer sets; it’s all killer no fi ller. Chris Ryan started comedy in her late thirties and is proof that women can do everything, working as a journalist, singer, running her own business, raising her two kids. Mike Goldstein is a Jewish/Sri Lankan/American/Australian who gave up being a lawyer in Perth to become a brilliant joke writer with a great laidback style. I really like Cam Knight despite his being almost unfeasibly handsome and cool. John Cruikshank looks like the typical Aussie tradie next door. Behind that Everyman look is a unique and surreal mind; his brain-spraining jokes are delivered with deadpan matter-of-factness. Shayne Hunter walks his talk.

BEST IN SHOWCASEComedian and Mullumbimby resident Greg Sullivan is a master storyteller, delivering unique insightful comedy that always has this ability

After becoming disillusioned with capitalism during the global fi nancial crisis a young Shayne became a squat-living, dumpster-diving AntiFa activist.

As a professional standup how do you push yourself

to keep evolving with your stagecraft?

Part of living a fulfi lled and interesting life is to work on a problem you fi nd interesting but you know you can never solve. My self-assigned task is to be a force for forgiveness, tolerance and non-violence through the medium of dick jokes. I don’t expect prizes and awards for this selfl ess work, just a very high income and people asking me for my autograph every now and then.

Advice for new comics?

Find a good accountant and psychiatrist. If you become successful you’ll need both of them; if you don’t become successful you’ll still need the psych. If you write good jokes, try to become a more relaxed and natural performer. If you’re naturally funny and relaxed onstage, work on writing better jokes. Try not to have contempt for your audience. Treat other comedians well, even if you don’t fi nd them funny. They could get really good all of a sudden and it sucks to have a famous and powerful enemy. In the long run no-one can aff ord cocaine and it is quite moreish.

Two shows at the Byron Theatre, Saturday at 5pm

and 8pm. Tix at byroncentre.com.au

CINEMA REVIEWSBY JOHN CAMPBELL

wakes hysterical from a dream – which is the oldest trick in the book. Almost as hackneyed is the obligatory walk at night through the misty pine forest – and there is more than just one of that chestnut. If, as is suggested by the voice-over at the end, the movie is meant to be a cautionary tale intended to un-glue kids from their laptops, only a fool might think that it would anything other than counter-productive. Well executed, but dead boring, with far too much screaming.

WORKING CLASS BOYJimmy Barnes, lead singer of the much-loved (by others)

Cold Chisel, is something of an icon in the Australian music

scene. Because I have never been a fan, I approached this

doco with some misgiving, but I was quickly won over

by it. It begins with Barnes recalling his early childhood

in Glasgow, where he was born in the kitchen of the

family’s cramped slum terrace. ‘I weighed fourteen pounds

and came into the world screaming – and I’ve been

screaming ever since,’ he says with a refreshing degree of

self-deprecation. Archival footage of post-War Glasgow

is horribly grim, and Barnes paints a depressing picture

of growing up in an environment where deprivation,

drunkenness and domestic violence were the norm – and

not just in his house, but virtually the entire city. Things

didn’t improve much when the family migrated to Australia

where, after being accommodated in a hostel, they were

eventually provided with a home in Elizabeth (Adelaide) –

‘I’d never played football on grass before’. The alcoholism of

Barnes’s thuggish father remained unabated, however, and

it ultimately led to his mother leaving him for another man

– the ‘Dad’ from whom young Jimmy took his surname. It is

the story of triumph over adversity and Barnes, in delivering

it, creates an easy rapport with the audience at Sydney’s

State Theatre, where much of the film was shot. The punters

lapped it up, but Barnes never quite descends into bathos.

Interspersed with the personal narrative are songs performed

by Barnes, including a beautiful take on the classic At the

Dark End of the Street, with his daughter Mahalia (named after

Mahalia Jackson) doing backup vocals, and, most surprising,

a touching rendition of Around the World I Searched for You

(I was relieved that Barnes never broke into Chisel mode).

Interviews with wife Jane, son David Campbell, sister Linda, as

well as Don Walker and Ian Moss, reveal a forgiving, a humble

and thoroughly decent human being. And he’s a much better

singer than I ever imagined.

SLENDER MANThe original Ring (1998) consolidated a new offshoot of the horror genre by having its malevolent spirit be conveyed through telephone messages and a TV. It was technology that hosted the enemy. More recently, the fiendishly clever and unsettling Unfriended (2015) built on that theme, with weird cyberspace as the protagonist – or, to paraphrase Marshall McLuhan, the medium was now the master. Here we have four teenage girls log on to a site that tells them about a phenomenon known as ‘slender man’, a mythical personage responsible for the disappearance of countless girls over the ages. They follow the prompts as instructed and, sure enough, one of them soon vanishes. Potential is there for a decent story, but it is smashed by an early and incessant deluge of cheap shots and overblown frighteners. Perhaps it’s because director Sylvain White’s background is mostly in television, where precision and brevity is of the essence, but you are just not allowed the tension build-up required to get really scared – and why else are you there?

In hindsight, however, this might be exactly what White’s audience, addicted to instant gratification, wants anyway. Character development is non-existent and the whole point of the Slender Man’s existence is never really clear. Every five minutes or so, there is an incident meant to shock, but such regular jolts lead to a sense of heavy ennui. There are also far too many scenes in which you are meant to believe something is really happening until the potential victim

ARIES: : This week’s Aries moon backed up by Mars in one of its most effec-tive placements takes the brakes off recent delays and gets you back in the swing of things. No need to rush though, or ignore the small print. Take the time to check what conditions apply in policies, contracts and espe-cially insurance.

TAURUS: The combination of this week’s sun and Mars both motoring forward in sturdy fellow earth signs revs the engines of the heavens into solid progress on stalled plans – finally! Though others may be exceptionally gung-ho in expecting a lot from you, make late-week Taurus moon your own personal time out for recreational pleasures.

GEMINI: Yes, people might seem nervy, moody mixtures of confusing signals – or is that you? Whatever, make the effort to listen up so you don’t miss conversational cues. See shakeups as the necessary fuel for changes that power this week’s cycle of lightening up, detoxing, and letting go unnecessary stuff, ideas, and connections.

CANCER: As Mars comes alive again with recharged energy, the year’s most emotional full moon suggests you lunar sensitives might be most comfortable this week somewhere under the radar, either having a solo commune with your soul or in-depth heart-to-heart with your nearest and dearest about future dreams and plans.

LEO: Material-world, practical matters head up this week’s menu, which could include course corrections to credit arrangements, relationship rejigs or constructive adjustments to health routines. Keep these simple, uncomplicated and drama free, and you’ll find punctuality, good manners and attention to small courtesies all richly reciprocated.

VIRGO: Happy birthday, Virgos, as the sun makes its annual tour of your organised, industrious sign. We salute you keepers of detailed knowledge as agents of analysis, diagnosis and critique, for knowing the bigger picture can’t last unless the smaller one’s in order first. Keep up your good work in service to the wellbeing of us all.

LIBRA: : This week ush-ers in changes that can be incorporated smoothly into current structures and routines without too much disruption. Small pleasures are plentiful, ditto little an-noyances and irritations, but with people-pleasing Venus in your sign you can make anyone an ally. Limit spend-ing to serviceable purchases and practical products.

SCORPIO: As friendships warm up and ambitions get a boost, savvy Scorps will temper their agendas with diplomacy and invite rather than insist. Since we inevi-tably attract more of what we focus on, it’s essential this week to steer clear of obsessive mind loops and project a clear picture of your preferred outcome.

SAGITTARIUS: As this week gains momentum, it’s clear that whatever vacated your life made space for new opportu-nities, different experi-ences. An old alliance could regain its shine via an interesting face-off between current needs and entrenched values. Note to self: Take care what you share with oth-ers – for good or ill it will boomerang back.

CAPRICORN: Mars moving forward in Capricorn galvanises your mojo, while an unusually harmonious alliance between form-loving Saturn and rule-breaking Uranus supports successful restructuring within existing organisations. A great week for manifestation, which may include readjusting the terms of a friend/money mix not presently working in your favour.

AQUARIUS: When quirky Uranus, your personal planet, is retrograde that’s usually a pretty clear signal for restraint. As old patterns show up for resolution and integration, take this week’s changes gradually and gracefully – which doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with Mars at his earthiest and Venus in particularly frisky form.

PISCES: The sun in Virgo, your opposite and complementary sign on the zodiac wheel, is a nourishing, nurturing time for Pisces. As well as being efficient, organised and disciplined, which means getting a lot done this week. Kind too, so someone going through a difficult time will deeply appreciate your help.

Lyn Proudlock and Margaret Darby have claimed the open pairs championship at the Brunswick Heads Womens Bowling Club after beating Kerry Dexter and Lorraine McCormick 19–17 in the fi-nal.

It was an extremely close game as Margaret and Lyn were leading by four on the last end, but Kerry and Lor-raine were also holding four shots.

It looked like a draw that would force a deciding end until Lyn used her last bowl to take out two of the scoring bowls giving her team a two-shot win.

The win gave Lyn her first championship at the Club.

In a semifinal for the Club’s triples championships Rosa Kinnear, Kerry Dexter and Lorraine beat Jenny An-drew, Marcia Crichton and Lyn Proudlock 22–15.

Shores United first and third division teams lost on the weekend but have an upcom-ing chance of redemption, while the U/15s will play for a place in the final this week-end.

The Shores U/15 first divi-sion side have never been in a semifinal and have not beaten the Lismore Rovers all sea-son. But that all changed on Saturday when they earned 3–1 victory that sees them through to the major semifi-nal this weekend.

The first division Brown Snakes went down 1–0 to the Italo Stars and will need

to find a way to score goals in their upcoming semifinal against Tintenbar.

Shores third division trav-elled to Byron Bay and came away second best in a penalty shootout after the fulltime scores was locked at 3–3.

The Shores sixth division took on Woodburn at home and provided a fitting send- off to club president Marc Patten, who played his last game.

The Shores old boys won 7–1 through a highly organ-ised pass-and-run game.

The club has two home semifinals this weekend!

Lennox Head’s Ben Dickens has repeated his double victo-ry in 2017 with another flaw-less performance at Cabarita Point on the Tweed at the 2018 SAE Group Australian Surf Festival.

Dickens was undefeated the whole event winning all his heats and dominating his competitors. He cloned his 2017 Australian Titles perfor-mance to go back-to-back in both the O/40s Men’s Logger Division and the O/40s Men’s Longboard Division.

The ever-humble Dickens was stoked with his success and pleased to defend his ti-tles.

‘I won the logging final in

the final five seconds. I was sitting in third position and a great wave came in with a very critical section at the start of the ride and I took a risk and went for it; that sec-tion was make or break and thankfully it was a make.

‘I focused on using the pri-ority system to my advantage throughout the contest and I only caught a few waves each heat and made sure when I had first priority to select a good wave.

‘The pressure to defend my title was brutal and the competition was hard with great surfers but the waves were fun and it was a beauti-ful day for the finals with my young sons there to cheer me on,’ he said.

The Ballina Buccaneers and the Lennox Head Trojans will go head-to-head this week-end in far north coast rugby to decide who will play in the grandfinal against Wollong-bar-Alstonville.

The local derby was set up after Lennox Head had a con-vincing win over Byron Bay in the elimination semifinal 43–17 last Sunday.

On Saturday Ballina lost to Wollongbar-Alstonville Pioneers 43–36, out scored six tries to five.

The win put the Pioneers into the grandfinal playing the winner of this weekend’s local derby.

The Pioneers are the com-petition’s minor premiers af-ter losing just one game from 16 in the regular season.

They are also the competi-tion favourites looking to win their fifth straight first-grade premiership in a row.

The first grade game be-tween Lennox and Ballina kicks off at 3.15pm at Crozier Field in Lismore.

Reserve gradeThe Byron Bay Rugby

Club fared no better in re-serve grade when their side went down to Mullumbimby Federal 32–17.

The Lennox Head re-serves played their way into the grandfinal beating Ballina 14–3.

Ballina will play off against Mullumbimby Federal this Saturday from 1.50pm at Cro-zier Field for the right to play Lennox Head.

Eighteen clubs from Cam-den Haven (NSW) to Red-cliffe (QLD) competetd in the Rainbow Region Dragon Boat Cub’s August regatta in Ballina that marks the start of the 2018/19 season.

The Shaws Bay course started out in brilliant condi-tions on Saturday two weeks ago, but by Sunday afternoon the southwesterly winds

played havoc with the races. The ever-popular commu-

nity teams competition was held early and they were off the water before it got hairy.

The Kyogle Hillbillies have now taken out a trifecta of wins in this event, but this time they had the Dirty Dogs snapping very close on their heels. Queensland won the state-of-origin and Nambuc-ca/Camden won the sport women’s event.

Backlash

Byron Shire Echo archives: www.echo.net.au/byron-echo

Backlash got its political mus-ings slightly wrong last week. Independent media Crikey predicted that as Tophat Turnbull suffered a mortal wound on his fi rst challenge, it was just a matter of time before he went. It was just a few days, as it turned out.

Skaters, scooterers and BMX riders with creative fl air or an interest in design are invited to a free community work-shop on Thursday August 30 at the Cavanbah Centre from 4pm to help shape By-ron Bay’s new skatepark.Th e Sandhills Estate, located be-tween the Byron Library, the courthouse, the Byron Youth Centre and the Sandhills Childcare Centre, has been identified by Council as its preferred location.

The owner of the Northern Star and Byron News has been called a lot of unpleas-ant things over the years, so when former PM Kevin Rudd called him the ‘greatest cancer on the Australian de-mocracy’ on Monday, the US media mogul probably hardly fl inched. He probably didn’t mind either when Mr Rudd said that, rather than running a news organisation he, ‘oper-ates as a political party, acting in pursuit of clearly defi ned commercial interests, in addi-tion to his far-right ideologi-cal world view’.

The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic has started to break up, reports Th e Guard-ian, opening waters north of Greenland that are normally frozen, even in summer. Th e report reads, ‘Th is phenom-enon – which has never been recorded before – has oc-curred twice this year owing to warm winds and a climate-

change driven heatwave in the northern hemisphere.’ Still trust coal-sponsored political actors over climate scientists? There’s plenty of Kool-Aid available and enough research proves any theory, of course…

Th e phrase ‘Don’t drink the Kool-Aid’ comes from the 1978 Jim Jones cult mass-su-icide in Jonestown in the US. In other words, hone some critical thinking skills and be careful whom you trust.

Further to last week’s video of a Byron Bay scuba diver saving a protected and en-dangered Grey Nurse shark from a painful death by fi sh-ing line, it’s now online at www.echo.net.au aft er some technical glitches. And the brave diver who untangled the line, Inaki Aizpun, is Spanish, not Japanese, as in-correctly stated last week.

Being comedian mums, late nights and weeks of touring away from home make career

advancement almost impossible. Yet Ellen Briggs and Mandy Nolan found a way –

collaboration! The two teamed up to create their own two-hour show under the moniker

Women Like Us and have booked themselves into venues and festivals around the country.

Their fi rst hometown show is coming to Mullumbimby’s Ex-Services on Saturday September

15 and will be a fundraiser for the Mullum Public and Mullum High School formal.
