MP Stoner Q&A Deputy premier Andrew Stoner answers questions on caravan parks, the referendum and land rights Hans Lovejoy

His appearance was over within two minutes. Flanked by local NSW Nationals MP Don Page and federal Labor MP Justine Elliot, deputy premier and NSW Nationals leader Andrew Stoner stopped in Byron Shire for a quick spruiking of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale highway upgrade. Following are answers in full to questions posed by The Echo.

Like a scene from Mad Max meets Fern Gully, protesters made the trek to the remote property of Dayne Pratzky at Wieambilla in the middle of the Kenya Gasfield near Tara, for Dayne’s Party last Saturday. About 250 performers, speakers, media and guests gathered at the farm to show their support for the families living in the Kenya Gasfield of the Surat Basin. The aim of the event was to alert the nation and world to the CSG mining opposition of many residents in the area. Musicians Ash Grunwald, Kevin Borich, Reg Mombassa, Luke Vassella, Pete Doherty of Dog Trumpet, The Round Mountain Girls and Diana Anaid, along with many others, travelled to Wieambilla. Protesters also sent a photo message as part of a social media campaign to show support for Jonathan Moylan. Mr Moylan has been charged by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) after allegedly sending a hoax press release to media claiming a $1.2 billion loan from ANZ to a Whitehaven Coal project had been cancelled on ethical grounds. Mr Moylan has been charged with the making of false or misleading statements, which is a breach of the Corporations Act. But when The Echo spoke to ASIC about the charges, a spokesperson said they were yet to make an an-

nouncement and they would release information after the case went to court on July 23. During the weekend’s party, event organisers Nick Hanlon and Amanda Shoebridge announced that they had joined forces with music promoter Annie Wright to form ‘Aussies Against Fracking,’ which will be a vehicle to enable members of the entertainment industry to voice their opposition to coal seam gas mining.

Aussies Against Fracking forms A panel of six, including Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton, also addressed the crowd and said that united, the alliance was able to shift Metgasco from the northern rivers. ‘It’s just too bad we weren’t here two years ago’, he said. ‘Maybe we could have stopped this at the start.’ The climax of the party came on Sunday morning when a group of about 30 trudged through two kilometres of bush to witness how fracking has changed a section of the Condamine River. Removing his muso hat and donning that of the environmental activist, Ash Grunwald grabbed a wettie, board and gas mask and swam into the methane bubbles to draw attention to this aberration. Nearby, farmers heckled the group and made threats to call the police. Some of the group said they heard gun shots as they left the area.

The Echo revealed last week that the NSW government’s take-over from Byron Council of three Brunswick Heads caravan parks in 2006 has stripped at least $600,000 a year from Byron Council’s operating funds. Would you support giving back the parks’ management to Byron Council given this evidence? ‘Revenues from Crown holiday parks are for return to the Crown reserves system, not council general revenue. ‘The revenues from the Brunswick Heads holiday parks are invested in the parks themselves, the adjoining reserves or into the Crown reserve system in the region.

Due to the North Coast Holiday Park Trust’s good management, revenues have increased since the parks were brought under the trust’s control. Therefore, the parks will not be returned to Council’s management.’ Given the first question, what is the NSW coalition’s reasoning to reject constitutional recognition of local government? Why isn’t direct funding from the feds to councils a more streamlined and transparent method of tax distribution? ‘The NSW government does not support the proposed referendum as there is no clear evidence of deficiency in the existing financial frameworks. Section 96 of the Constitution already provides an effective channel for Commonwealth funding to local government and there is no cost to government and no inefficiency in section 96 grants being made through the states. Should there be any perceived problems with the current framework, administrative changes should be explored prior to constitutional amendments.’ continued on page 2

Nationals’ Andrew Stoner question and answer continued from page 1

Federally, the Nationals recently voted against allowing landowners/farmers the right to ‘lock the gate’ when mining corporations seek access. What is your position on this – do you support the mining industry or the farming sector?

‘The NSW government believes farming and mining can co-exist, and since coming in we have introduced the toughest controls on CSG activity in the nation to protect our land and water resources. This includes introducing ‘no go zones’ for coal seam gas in country towns and suburbs by creat-

Bitou bush aerial spraying postponed Meanwhile chemical free groups lobby to abolish the program Hans Lovejoy

Chemical free landcare advocates are pushing to stop the spraying of what they claim is a potentially dangerous herbicide, metsulfuron methyl. Plans to aerial spray bitou bush in Tyagarah sparked a recent meeting between the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare and the ‘Save Tyagarah Nature Reserve From Aerial Spraying’ Facebook group. The push follows the announcement by NPWS that the scheduled spraying for Cape Byron Headland (Tuesday July 16) has been postponed because of the predicted unfavourable weather conditions. Nadia de Souza Pietramale

from Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare told The Echo that at the meeting, ‘The group put it to NPWS that Tyagarah Nature Reserve instead be managed using a non-chemical, ecological restoration approach which is safe for the environment and community and also proven to be effective.’ ‘[NPWS area manager] Sue Walker agreed to consult with Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) about Tyagarah Nature Reserve and report back to the group.’ When asked by The Echo about evidence NPWS uses that spraying is best practice, Ms Walker replied that the ‘Threat Abatement Plan for Bitou Bush’ document (available at www.environment. nsw.gov.au/bitouTAP/best-

Bridie breezes through Apart from his work with bands Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake, David Bridie is regarded as one of this country’s finest musical directors (MD). His latest project as MD is the WANTOK spectacular, which will be performed at

practice.htm) ‘proposes actions to reduce the impacts of Bitou Bush on biodiversity, particularly threatened species, populations and ecological communities.’ Ms Walker also added that ‘ongoing monitoring of the control program has shown that Bitou Bush has been reduced by over 95 per cent, while the number and abundance of native species has increased. Also Plectranthus cremnus, a local rare herb ranked the number one plant species at risk from Bitou Bush invasion, has significantly increased distribution and abundance in controlled areas.’ But Ms de Souza Pietramale says, ‘The spraying operation would see parts of the Tyagarah nature reserve aerially sprayed from 870 metres

south of the northern boundary of the reserve, heading all the away along until Belongil Creek. It’s unclear for how many years this spraying would occur and what the expected results would be.’ ‘Questions were raised with Ms Walker about the residual impacts of the herbicide metsulfuron methyl and the risks it poses to littoral rainforest species, including the threatened Pink Nodding Orchid, as well as marine life along the shoreline.’ She also says that the ‘group took issue with the inadequate community consultation and notification for this intensive spraying operation.’ A petition is available at www.ipetitions.com/petition/ place-an-instant-moratorium-on-the-spraying-of/.

Local News Ed’s art legacy helps Marine Rescue Brian Mollet

The adventurous and colourful life of well-known local Edwin ‘Ed’ Reid, artist, seafarer, teacher and family man, is well documented despite his death in 2011. A gifted and well trained artist, Ed would habitually rise early and spend a couple of hours drawing pictures, some from memory and some from whatever was going on in his life at the time. Many of these he made into elaborate and beautifully executed works of art; others are perhaps even more admirable for their elegant simplicity, drawn with pen and ink without correction. What they amount to is a visual diary of his life, which took him around Australia and the world, as far north as Iceland – where he fought against the English in the Cold Wars of the early 70s – and as far south as Macquarie island, the last landfall before Antarctica. All of his work reflects his great love of nature, especially the sea; and as Ed spent much of his last 20 years in Byron Shire, there are some very

Just one piece of artwork from the late Ed Reid, who donated a body of work to Brunswick Heads Marine Rescue

recognisable local images among the collection. Ed’s parting wishes were that some of his art should become available to the public, and that the beneficiary should be the Marine Rescue Service of Brunswick Heads, where he spent countless hours calling in the boats from the radio tower.

Exhibition Sunday Son Beau and daughter Rose had the pleasant but very exacting task of sorting through the many hundreds of artworks and have chosen 20 to be reproduced for an exhibition this Sunday July 21 in the Brunswick Heads

Community Centre from 11am to 2pm. ‘The hardest thing was choosing which pieces to print. All of them are a visual story of his life but in the end we chose our favourites and tried to include some local themes’, said daughter Rose. Ed was a fierce egalitarian and would not hear of outrageous prices despite the quality of his work, so the art standard prints start at around $30 and the limited prints will be priced at around $150. With any purchase you will be helping ‘Ed the Witchdoctor’ help the Brunswick Marine Rescue crew from beyond the last horizon.

Tyagarah airstrip closed by Council

Cringe the Binge scores big Cringe the Binge, Byron Youth Service’s initiative to reverse youth binge drinking, has received $20,000 from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE). Director of Byron Youth Service Di Mahoney says, ‘We will be using the funds to develop Community Action Packs that will help parents, educators, youth and community workers to tackle binge drinking issues in the local community.’ FARE chief executive Michael Thorn says, ‘Alcohol impacts negatively on too many lives. We need to be working together as a community to reduce this harm, and community projects such as these go some way towards achieving this goal.’ Other projects funded include a toolkit being developed by Lives Lived Well in Queensland to address young people’s drinking and a film and community forum project at Tennant Creek, Northern Territory which uses puppets to inform and educate Indigenous Australians about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).

What power does Council have to stop flights on an airfield they manage if they believe the runway is unsafe? Not much, if last Friday’s busy skydiving operations are any indication. Despite a sign erected by Council advising of the Tyagarah airstrip being closed, Byron Bay Skydive have continued to fly from the runway, despite the disapproval of some fellow users of the field who say it’s the skydive plane causing the damage. But according to its CEO

Adrian Kennedy they have since relocated flight take-offs and landings to Ballina. Mr Kennedy says he believes that it’s a management issue rather than a safety one. ‘We have informally managed the runway for many years,’ he told The Echo, and as for safety issues he says, ‘We would never jeopardise our unblemished safety record.’

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

Meanwhile, a media spokesperson from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) confirmed with The Echo that as Tyagarah airstrip is not registered or certified with them, ‘The decision on using an airstrip rests with the pilot in command. ‘If it is safe to use it they can, if not, they should not,’ the CASA spokesperson said.

Byron goes gasfield free Sunday

Whoopingcough vaccine withdrawn The free whooping-cough vaccine, which has been provided to new mothers on the north coast for the past four years, will be withdrawn from Monday July 15. But NSW Health says withdrawing the free vaccine will not affect immunisation rates on the north coast, an area renowned for historically low vaccination rates. ‘Research by NSW Health and the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance confirms it’s best to get vaccinated before conception, during the third trimester of pregnancy or, failing that, at soon as possible after delivery,’ Dr Sheppeard told ABC radio. For further information visit NSW Health Immunisation Website www.health. nsw.gov.au/immunisation.

Splendour tickets on offer for new BU members

After what is billed as the biggest survey of its kind conducted in urban Australia so far, Byron Bay is set to officially join other towns across the region when they declare their town gasfield free on Sunday July 21 at the Peace Park on Main Beach. And organisers are also aiming to create the biggest celebration in the town’s history. Co-ordinator Suzie Deyris told The Echo the all day event will coincide with the beachside markets and will kick off with meditation at 6.45am, yoga at 8am then at 10.45am a welcome to country ceremony will be performed. Additionally, a ‘Stand in the Sand’ crowd formation is planned for a plane flyover at 12.45pm. Many other activities are planned, including live music from Goanna’s Shane Howard and others. And while the focus of the day is aimed at celebrating community, the underlying is-

sues have not been forgotten. Ms Deyris claims genuine transparent oversight of CSG mining is non-existent, despite promises from the state government. ‘The long-term consequences of CSG mining are unknown. It is predicted that there will be more than 40,000 gas wells in Queensland when the rollout is completed. ‘We may be able to keep the wellheads out of the northern rivers but we don’t know the extent to which our waterways will be affected by the Queensland operations.’ And apart from huge fossil fuel subsidies paid by the public purse, she says, ‘It is believed that at least 80 per cent of Queensland’s CSG will be exported, as will most of the profits. Jobs in CSG mining are very short term. Salaries in the mining industry tend to be high but mining in Australia accounts for only two per cent of total employment.’ Photo Jeff Dawson

A hot topic of discussion at Wednesday’s Friends of the Library (FOL) meeting will be Council’s target to find $65,000 in savings across the Shire’s libraries. Suggested measures, including reduced opening hours and resourcing, have already sparked reaction in the community. It serves as a timely reminder that our important advocacy role did not end with the successful culmination of nearly two decades of campaigning for a new Byron Bay library. Ever mindful of budget

pressures, FOL were also fundraising, our second core role, in happy anticipation of the day the library could house an expanded collection. Our efforts have resulted in donations of $43,000 for resource purchases and cushions for the children’s section. A newly restored chair from the SS Wollongbar is also on its way to add an element of local historical interest. But while happy to put some icing on the cake, we are determined to see adequate public resourcing of this vital Shire facility. The Friends will once again have a tent at the Writers’ Festival with our customary raf-

Rudd’s truce attempts with business

Volume 28 #06

July 16, 2013

Preventing catastrophe It’s easy to point the finger at the US government for exercising hypocrisy on the world’s biggest budget. Its economy is driven mainly by warfare and it has an appalling foreign affairs record. It bullies because it can and it suffers from a complete lack of transparency, as exemplified by president Obama’s hostile reaction to whistle-blowing. But considering societies that kill and mutilate – mostly females – in the name of bronze-age religions, free-market democracy with all its faults has some appeal. Yes, there is hope for the world’s most influential and powerful entity: consider the recent ambition by a small group of senators across party lines to restore the financial integrity which helped make the US successful in the first place. The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 is actually a well-known topic within Occupy activist circles, but what is it? To paraphrase the HBO series Newsroom, there are two types of banks: investment and commercial. Investment banks are the gamblers (futures trading, derivatives, hedge funds, etc) while commercial banks are where general savings and cheque accounts are held. They were separated from each other after the 1930s depression because, when combined, it proved to be unstable for the entire nation – and world. But in 1999, both banking systems were again combined under president Clinton and guess what – there was a financial crash in 2008. The Washington Post online reported on July 12, 2013 that ‘Nobel laureate economist Joe Stiglitz, among many others, fingered 1999’s partial repeal of the [Glass-Steagall Act] law as a contributing factor behind the [2008] financial crisis.’ Why does this matter locally? Any collapse of the US economy affects the West, as it did in the 1930s depression. In 2008, billions were wiped out globally, affecting Australia’s local governments as many held ‘toxic’ assets tied to the US. Until we can wean ourselves from the US greenback we are stuck with their good or bad decisions. Hans Lovejoy, editor

evin Rudd says he is holding out an olive branch to business – not exactly a pact, but at least a truce. He is offering an end to class warfare, by which he means the sort of attacks on business in which the Bruce Springsteen fan, ex-Treasurer Wayne Swan, used to specialise. He is making it clear that the synergistic relationship Julia Gillard enjoyed with the trade union movement is at an end; the unions remain an important participant in discussions about industrial reform, but will no longer enjoy their former dominance. And his door will always be open to the employers and their representatives; indeed, meetings have been quietly taking place since he regained the prime ministership and he is looking forward to many more of them. So far business has responded fairly positively; even Peter Anderson, the hardline CEO of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry has said he is happy to listen to what Rudd has to say, although he is determined to stick to his core demands for changes to the Fair Work Act. And he is far from happy that one of Rudd’s first acts as a born-again prime minister was to see the changes to toughen up the 457 visa legislation waved through parliament; for many of his peers the attack on the use of 457 visas was symptomatic of a kneejerk anti-business approach in the Gillard government. For his part Rudd says that he thinks the Fair Work Act has the balance between workers and bosses about right, but he is happy to continue to review

it; and the same basically applies to the 457 visas, so no immediate progress there. But on the wider front he wants both business and unions to join him in a serious effort – a crusade, almost – to improve productivity in Australia. Without actually spelling it out, Rudd seems anxious to make this the new climate change – the great economic, social and political challenge of our times. It is a bit hard to build the moral bit into it as well, but no doubt he is working on it. Rudd has laid out his sev-

Without actually spelling it out, Rudd seems anxious to make productivity the new climate change by Mungo MacCallum en-point plan as a basis. Most of it is obvious, like engagement with Asia, more investment in infrastructure, and development of vocational education and training. But there are carrots aimed specifically at business: eliminating ‘rigidities’ in the Fair Work Act which inhibit investment and jobs growth, safeguards from employers against excessive union interference in greenfield sites and getting rid of red and green tape – where have we heard that before? And to cap it off, there is one that will appeal to everyone: lower electricity prices. Not a bad wishlist, and one that can and should be pursued in a spirit of co-operation by both sides. But Rudd is stopping short of taking the next step: any attempt to resurrect the kind of accord Bob Hawke instigated in 1983.

“I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.� David Runciman

vocate and then president of the ACTU gave him impeccable credentials throughout the union movement, but he had also, through his friendships with Sir Peter Abeles and others, made extensive contacts with business. And the times suited him; Australia was struggling to emerge from a period of stagflation – unemployment and inflation were both stubbornly high. The economy and business and consumer confidence needed a kick start and the accord gave it to them. But perhaps most important were the personalities involved. Cliff Dolan, the ACTU president, was a solid but unambitious figure always ready to defer to the charismatic Hawke, but in the secretary, Bill Kelty, Hawke found a brilliant and enthusiastic ally. Between them, the men swept

the largely acquiescent employers up in the momentum. Compare and contrast, as Gough Whitlam might say, the situation faced by Rudd. Although business is, as always, complaining, in fact the profit share is at an all-time high. Unemployment is still comparatively low. Neither of the leaders of the ACTU, president Ked Kearney or secretary Dave Oliver, is a great proponent of innovation and the employers are still suspicious of the party that gave them Fair Work Australia and more inclined to go backwards than forwards. And vitally, both sides have their issues with Rudd himself. For business, he is the vandal who replaced their beloved WorkChoices with a system that gave the unions more power than ever, fumbled tax reform and led the ideological attack on capitalism. For the unions, he is the usurper who never understood their culture or respected their leaders and finally knocked off a prime minister who was their rusted-on ally and supporter. So he is probably not the man to recapture the first fine careless rapture of a generation ago. But this does not mean that he cannot achieve at least dÊtente – even a period of peaceful and productive cooperation. We may not emerge with a kinder, gentler polity of the kind he claimed to envisage on his return to power. But we can at least hope to get one that works. After the unedifying brawling of the few years, that would do. Q See Mungo’s video at

Thirty years later, Rudd admits that the system has become too adversarial and the participants too antagonistic, and he may well be right. But that should not preclude trying to learn from Hawke’s great breakthrough, the one that made the universally praised economic reforms of the 1980s possible. Admittedly, Hawke started with advantages Rudd cannot hope to emulate. His background meant he knew the whole industrial relations area back to front. His time as ad-

The cost of spraying chemicals Aerial spraying of defoliants, back to Vietnam for Byron Bay, the organic town area, houses close to beach and bush. Vietnam’s proven toxic legacy is being perpetrated here now! Aerial spraying of any chemical kind on or around people’s houses, children, families, land, gardens, pools, dams, streams, creeks and rivers must cease forthwith. To add insult to injury we are by rates, taxes, levies etc financing and paying to be poisoned. In the last two years in Queensland there have been several court cases where people have been charged with poisoning people, water, land and plants, and the complainant has been found

correct; more cases will follow. These herbicides are known carcinogens by themselves or mixed in the environment with other chemicals by forming a toxic soup. Byron Bay is marketed and sold as clean and green; that means green jobs in the environment. C’mon, Simon Richardson and community: demand your money is being spent on paid jobs for remedial work in the Byron Shire area, not poisoning the environment. Signage clearly visible to people should warn of chemical use in your town, signage showing date, type of chemical, volume, residual or not and carcinogenic footprint. Last winter’s spraying of un-

the narrow, sometimes congested, footpath on the cliff between The Pass and Wategos remains unrepaired and in some places non-existent and most definitely an ‘accident waiting to happen’. Just now, I have seen a mother looking after the smallest of her three boys on this path while the other two ran ahead, spaced out and seemingly unaware that one misstep would result in a tragic, unnecessary death. It is time for the council, in conjunction with the NSW parks authority, to get the funds and repair this fence immediately as well as getting concerned about bitou bush. Robert Couldry Myocum a good thing for the industry, isn’t it? Not. The whole forest industry in NSW needs a big kick up the bum and so do the ministers and Macquarie Street in Sydney. So do the EPA, which is letting the Forestry Corporation of NSW get away with illegal logging of our koala habitats. By the way, koalas are on the critically endangered list. Onya, EPA – shame, shame, shame. Paul Brecht Mullumbimby

Well past time to regulate holiday letting Q After enduring a horrendous 18 months of living next door to an illegal holiday let I now have neighbours again and my life back. Simple solution: obey council LEP; no business in residential areas. Jenny Shiels Member of VOHL

continued from page 11 crease? The drive back out of the tip took me past the now closed, for approximately three years, Myocum Quarry, the huge hole which is supposed to be Byron’s next tip. It is just sitting there empty with nothing seemingly going on. Can someone from Byron Shire Council please explain where the process is at and how much longer they will

need to get the quarry site online as a tip? I reckon Council will sell it to a private company for short-term gain and longterm loss. Time will tell. Alan Dickens Brunswick Heads

Q Re Tom Tabart’s letter (Echo, July 9): Tom is a passionate and tireless supporter of our community and has been for a long time. However, I’m concerned that those who oppose or do not have the same opinion can be labelled ‘chronically illinformed’. According to the LEP, holiday letting in residential areas without approval has been illegal since its inception in 1988. This means throughout many terms Council has not been able to come up with a solution and it still runs unabated despite the LEP. It is obvious holiday letting in residential areas does not support a happy and healthy community. While the issue of legality is being resolved, I have been considering a way of controlling at least the aspect of misbehaviour. I am qualified and well informed on this subject and indeed far more so than many. My family has owned a management right for the past ten years in the centre of

Happy outcome I would just like to thank the Bangalow-Byron rescue squads, Westpac helicopter crew and police for their

town, which has nothing to do with unmanaged holiday letting in residential areas. I do not have a rent roll and do not holiday let or permanent let, so have no pecuniary interests. I have also experienced the pain of living next door to holidaymakers of the worst kind. The risk of rogue guests needs to be taken from the community and placed back on to the owners/managing agents/tenants. An obvious mechanism to do this would be through a financially punitive arrangement. My proposal to have managing agents take a substantial security deposit on holiday-letting properties is being implemented in various ways all over the world. I stayed for one night just recently in a cockroach-riddled motel in Sydney CBD. The hotel asked for a $250 security on my credit card before I could get the key. Being a single mature-aged business woman I was somewhat stunned, but this is now the reality. In this era of social media, it is nothing short of ludicrous to hand over the keys to a home where there is no on-site manager or security guard without a substantial security deposit. As is now the case, an agreement is signed and the credit card is quick response to my urgent call for help to find my 4-year-old son Samuel, who is severely autistic, when he went missing from our home at Huonbrook. I am so grateful for all your help and the happy outcome. Sandra Lawler/Leadbeatter Huonbrook

Big boys club Julia’s claim to fame is to be the first female prime min-

swiped for the security deposit. I simply propose it be much higher than the amount proposed in the HLO code of conduct rules. The point of difference is that there will be no added cost to either the agent or the owner. Even the clients will not be inconvenienced unless of course there is a complaint. Then the agreement backed up by the credit card will come into action as a tool of the law to evict the perpetrators. No new organisation would be required, just an agreement between all letting agents to apply the same conditions to letting homes that are in residential areas. Imagine how quiet it would be in the house next door if the tenants or the owner were going to potentially lose a $4,000 or $5,000 bond. Cr Rose Wanchap Byron Bay Greens candidate Dawn Walker (who’s out, but wants to be in) wants to build affordable residential housing. But Greens councillor Rose Wanchap (who’s in) wants all residential housing to be available for tourist accommodation. Former Greens councillor Tom Tabart (who’s out) says that Council compliance on Greens Rose Wanchap’s

(who’s in) tourist accommodation in residential houses is impractical, but former Greens councillor Tom Tabart (when he was in) voted to allow holiday letting in every residential house via a simple licence. Tom Tabart’s (when he was in) Council motion to turn residential houses into tourist accommodation was supported by the votes of Greens Richard Staples (who’s out) and Greens Jan Barham (who’s in). Perhaps all the Greens

should talk together (and perhaps former councillor Tom Tabart should talk to himself) and clarify the Greens’ position on affordable residential houses for tourist facilities, just for the clarity of voters, aggrieved residents, renters suffering rental stress and our homeless residents. Or perhaps we should we just vote for parties and candidates that we actually know what they stand for. John Lazarus Byron Bay

I don’t know what it is about this council, but to put a motion through setting up another working group looking at holiday letting over the next six months is outrageous, to say the least. We have been looking at this issue for the past 13 years. Holiday letting in residential zones is illegal, as per judgment of the Land and Enviroment Court re the Terrigal case a couple of months ago. Regulation and registration are needed, preferably in specific zones. Holiday lets should be charged commercial rates as it’s a commercial activity, thus bringing on a permanent income stream for Council to pay for infrastructure associated with the extra tourist traffic created by holiday lets. What is to be discussed? Nothing! The Holiday Letting Organisation wants selfregulation. It’s been proved that it does not work – read the judgment in the Terrigal case, listen to locals in Byron. So let’s move on and do something constructive. No more group meetings; there is nothing to be gained. Council has the know-how to put something into action and rid the shire of this insidious cancer. Simon Davis President, Victims Of Holiday Letting

Whistleblower ‘You need to know about this woman! Former senior counsel to the World Bank,

Religion and power I’m afraid I find Matthew Hartley’s letter of last week, and Sue Arnold’s previous letter, unhelpful and ill-considered. If you care to trawl through the holy books of a number of religions including Judaism and Christianity (the Old Testament anyway) you find plenty of descriptions of massacres, ethnic cleansing and approval for those ‘smiting the enemy’. The only exception is possibly Buddhism, yet Buddhists in Myanmar are currently enthusiastically ‘smiting the enemy’ by perse-

cuting the Rohingya who are Muslims. More Christians have been killed by other Christians than have ever been killed by Muslims – just look at World War I, which was conducted between supposedly Christian nations. Matthew’s view is extremely simplistic – it is not Islam per se that is the problem in the world but the fact that Islam is being manipulated by terrorists and other groups for political purposes. And let’s face it, the Muslim world has plenty of valid grievances against the West

and the US in particular. That the US is stunned by this situation is a puzzle to me – how can a nation that is something like three per cent of the world’s population consume 25 per cent of its produce and expect to be loved (approximate figures, so Google). Islam will continue to be utilised for political purposes until there is more equity, justice and financial security in the world. More equity, justice and security in the world is incidentally the only way anyone can stop the boats. David Gilet Byron Bay

Karen Hudes, unleashed recent interviews that should shatter any remaining fairytales about a functional and law-abiding system of banking and government. The good news is that she’s part of a network of World Bank whistleblowers, work-

ing tirelessly to bring out the facts. And in her recent interviews, she names the people who are actively suppressing the facts, exposes the media for being one giant corporate shill, and reveals that all of the US governors and attorneys-general

have been notified.’ For those of you who still need ‘credible sources’, the above quote comes from the Huffington Post, which apparently is a respected source. Yet she is being completely ignored by ‘respected’ news editors around the world! Only truly independent news media have dared to interview her and give her the hearing she truly deserves.

A sublime tale of a mother’s loss of her child Boy, Lost by Kristina Olsson, UQP, RRP $29.95 Review by Pip Morrissey

Boy, Lost is a harrowing tale, not because of what happens but for everything that doesn’t happen, because of a cruel loss inflicted on a mother whose child is snatched away from her. It’s a memoir that has been painstakingly pieced together, a story that will be a challenging read for any woman who has suffered that particular kind of trauma, for whatever reason or means. It brings to mind the mothers of the stolen generation or young mothers whose babies were forcibly taken for adoption in Australia in the 50s. This memoir delves deeply into the pain and guilt suffered by a mother, Yvonne, whose first child is taken from her by his father and how this is manifested throughout her life. It also chronicles the boy Peter’s search for his mother and, as their two life stories weave towards each other, the reader is carried along and totally gripped by

the immense tragedy of this loss, its effect on those it afflicts and on those around them who witness their suffering. It’s the true story of author Kristina Olsson’s mother as a very young woman in post WWII Brisbane, who becomes enamoured with the attentions of a charming Greek, whom she marries, to live in a remote far north Queensland town. Yvonne is looking forward to her new life, away from her domineering mother and the cramped family home. She works hard but Michael, her husband, gambles and when he loses, he abuses, despite her being pregnant and vulnerable. When baby son Peter is born, she hopes things will be better, and for a while they are, but the abuse returns and violence with it. For her own and her child’s safety she leaves, but as she waits in her carriage for the train to pull out, her husband appears, threatens her and snatches their child away from her. This is a deeply personal family memoir, a firsthand observation of what losing a child means, how it shapes a mother’s perspective, nig-

Author Kristina Olsson

gles at her subconscious, plagues her with doubts and leaves her downcast under a melancholy shadow of questions, helplessness and futility. Yvonne fears her former husband and is reluctant to search and interfere in what she optimistically hopes is Peter’s happy new life. She feels she gave up her rights over him when she didn’t resist on that fateful day. But we, the reader, know the

child’s story as we are concurrently carried along by the author into his world too. I hesitate to reveal more, but hint that this is where the narrative of these lives really starts to pull at you, physically, as you become deeply affected by their experiences. They are innocents tortured by circumstances brought about by another person’s indifference to their need for each other as mother and child. Kristina Olsson’s writing is sublime, full of love and depth of feeling evidencing the fact that this is a story she herself was never really told, but rather ‘felt’ as she was growing up. She also invented ways to ‘not so much make her [mother] happy, but less unhappy’, to try to raise a moment of cheerfulness in a sadness that was pervasive. Boy, Lost is redolent with great joy and love and happy family life in a simpler, older world where you just got on with it, had kids, worked to support them and gave them what you could afford. Kristina’s family were hardworking, intelligent and resourceful people, the

kind who made up the backbone of Australian society. She has expertly captured Australia in the 50s and beyond as she traces the separate lives of mother and child. Ultimately, this is a story of acceptance and contentment, of living life in line with whatever comes, of realising that some things cannot be changed or prevented, some things must be accepted as we are all the victims of our personal circumstances, not simply what we choose to do but what others do. Suffering can have beneficial outcomes: there are always possibilities, potential and a degree of luck as the author says herself. One such outcome is clearly the writing of this wonderful book, Boy, Lost, which takes us on a richly emotive journey of contemplation about the rights and wrongs of what we do or don’t do and where it may lead. Finally, we are shown the great power of forgiveness. Boy, Lost deserves the accolades it is receiving. Q Kristina Olsson will be a guest at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival.

Dirty But Clean comes clean at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival There are mysteries and questions that plague and puzzle us in 21st century Australia and the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, August 2–4, is the place to find solutions: why misogyny remains rampant in the corridors of power, why Peter FitzSimons wears that red bandana, how crime writers succeed in not losing the plot, whether ethics in journalism is an oxymoron and what the hell happened to the Labor Party. Since winning the Booker Prize in 2003 for his debut novel Vernon God Little, BBWF guest DBC Pierre has been the subject of controversy, conjecture and constant media attention. In fact his very name forms a question for literary trivia quizzes, so take heed! Said Festival di-

rector Jeni Caffin, ‘If I had mentioned months ago that my heart was beating faster because Peter Finlay was featuring at the Festival, everyone would have yawned and turned the page. But when the name of DBC Pierre strides across the program, readers grab for their highlighters and search in earnest. DBC is one the most brilliant writers of his generation and, despite early Booker, ten years on, I believe the best is yet to come.’ So what about that name? ‘It stems from a television cartoon figure, Dirty Pierre, and the DBC stands for Dirty But Clean,’ said Jeni. ‘Enough said: this is the least interesting fact about this mercurial, virtuoso and entirely unique writer. His life is the stuff of fiction and straddles Austral-

An oft published quote of DBC’s, part of his acceptance speech for the Man Booker Prize 2003, is “My family planted the idea that I could do anything... I just want to apologise for taking it so literally�.’ DBC followed Vernon God Little with Ludmila’s

investigation of a disintegrating western society. BBWF pass holders can meet DBC in Friday conversation with Chris Hanley and in panel session Urban noir: darkling tales, heightened stakes on Sunday, with Georgia Blain, Sally Breen and the stellar MJ Hyland, wrangled by The Australian’s chief literary critic, Geordie Williamson. DBC is conducting a separately ticketed workshop on Thursday August 1, How to write without dying and the

Lots of people believe that winter is not a good time for gardening. Nothing could be further from the truth! In our climate, winter is ideal. There is plenty of rain around to keep the soil nice and moist, and the days are (mostly) warm enough for growing to continue. Sure, there may be a few cold spells, but generally it’s pretty mild. Trees and shrubs planted in winter will be well established before the summer heat arrives. For plants, that means less stress, and that means fewer pests and diseases. For gardeners, it means we can do the heavy work while the weather is cooler, rather than battling the summer heat. And there are many things that can’t really be planted at any other time, such as bare-rooted roses, asparagus, and potatoes. These all need to be planted within the next month or so. Mushrooms can also be grown now. All you need for that is a cool, dark place to pop the mushroom kit, a box that contains everything you need to grow kilos of fabulous mushies.

We make every effort to minimise our impact on the environment by using renewable or recycled materials. We love using recycled timber salvaged from various sources including old bridges, railway sleepers, houses and boats that would otherwise be discarded. We only use real materials and through our design and sourcing we make every effort to minimise our impact on the planet’s natural resources by using sustainable timbers such as mango wood. Vast was the first Australian retailer to fully explore the possibilities of transforming hardwood from the mango tree into furniture. This timber was often burnt as scrap after it had passed its peak ability to produce a commercially viable crop of fruit. It took years to perfect the art, but the results are stunning. Sustainable wood that’s beautiful too! One of Vast Interior’s key motives is to assist in the local communities where we manufacture our furniture. One of our sponsorships involves a public girls school in Delhi, where we sponsor approximately 40 students to ensure that their educational expenses are met. This is done through a subsidy paid on each container from our Delhi manufacturer. These students are specially selected as those that are under financial stress to meet basic schooling costs, and most of the girls are either orphaned or have only one parent. Vast Interior Ballina is always striving to maintain an eclectic mix of product that is different from any other retailer. So come into our showroom at 15 Sheather Street Ballina and check out our continually changing pieces of dining, living and outdoor furniture as well as a wide range of homewares. 15 Sheather St, Ballina.

I’m looking for themes that invoke the sacred in daily life. You have toured nationally and internationally; why is it only now you are putting together an album? I have toured nationally and internationally supporting Kevin James Carroll. I played harmonium to his tracks, and sang with him, and never really thought I would have my own show. Our paths started to go in different directions, and the music gave so Was yours a musical childhood? What ignited much meaning to my life that I didn’t want to your love for music? Dad’s or Mum’s record give it up. I could see a big gap for this kind of collection? My childhood was musical, in the music, especially as it is so male dominated, so I sense that I danced around the house singing took part in a three-month music workshop with at the top of my lungs to musicals such as The Kathryn Jones, started to face some pretty big Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. I think as I grew fears that where holding me back, and the rest is up, my voice started to shut down, and it is only history. in the last few years that I have started to let it out again. I never learnt music in my earlier years. How does the crowdfunding work? Crowdfunding is an opportunity for community I learnt how to sing and play the harmonium when I moved to the hills of Byron only five years to support artists, usually in exchange for a ago. My love of music was ignited by noticing the reward. For independent artists it eliminates the need of a record label to fund the music, as profound effect that music has on the listener. it goes directly from the audience to the artist. Who were the artists you loved most as Crowdfunding is an amazing platform that is a young person?

Standup Comedy for Boomerang COMEDIAN SEAN CHOOLBURRA is one of the many talented people who will be making their way to Boomerang Festival for the October long weekend. Sean has the kind of charisma and charm that has audiences just eating out the palm of his hand. When did you first discover you had a talent for humour? Probably early in life, telling stories to people and hearing them laugh. Did your family encourage you? Who were the people that influenced you most on your early path? A friend named Midges Ross; also my family are characters in my comedy routines so I guess they help a lot. Other influences include Eddie Murphy, Bob Maze, Ernie Dingo, and Gary Foley; also Charlie Hill, Richard Prior and Bill Cosby. Tell me about 50 Shades of Black. It’s a new standup show based on interesting relationships and bad dates I’ve had until meeting the right one. How are you using dance in your show? I use dance to show people what guys and girls like when pursuing their ideal wife/ husband, eg girls like bad boys and guys like good girls. What are the things that make you laugh on a daily basis? Interesting and crazy things or people; also what really makes me laugh is hearing people laugh. Are you constantly working on material? Do things happen and then you work them into the show? Yes, I’m always working on new jokes; my brain is on 24/7. Anything and everything can make it on the show. I have heard you tell stories of your aunties that were hysterical. Do you ever work family story like that onto stage, or is there a difference? Yes, definitely! You have different jokes for your friends and stage. They are a little bit different. What issues do you bring up in 50 Shades? I guess healthy relationships, AVOs, kids, internet dating… Anything to do with the pros and cons relating to dating. What’s a typical day for Sean Choolburra? A typical normal day is I wake up, do yoga, wake kids, the wife and I make the kids’ school lunch; do some boxing, drive kids school, go shopping (centre or markets), get a facial and pick the kids up. Also, I go to the airport almost every second day to fly to do gigs. What should we expect for Boomerang? The audience will want me back just like a boomerang. I am the only comic in the world to have done a joke about boomerangs so I’m suited for the Boomerang Festival, ha-ha! For more program information go to boomerangfestival.com.au

E N T E R T A I N M E N T was lost. They spent the next few hours trying to get the blaze under control. I couldn’t believe that a house could burn that quickly. That a person wouldn’t get at least 20 minutes or so to run back inside and grab a few precious things. The viciousness and swiftness of the blaze left us all humbled. My kids and I huddled together stunned. My 4-year-old couldn’t believe it could happen. That something as secure and dependable as your family home could be taken so randomly, for no apparent reason, without protest or even a shot at a second chance. It’s not like I think about it often, but I guess it’s something we all should ponder. What would you do in that situation? What could anyone do? All we have for protection is a small fire extinguisher and fire blanket we got at Aldi. We don’t even know if it works. It was a miracle that no-one was hurt. Not physically at least. I don’t think you’d be able to account for how traumatising losing your entire life story in just 12 minutes must be. You’d need a goonsack full of rescue remedy just to get your head around it. It must be unbelievable that your photos, your favourite chair, a teddy bear you’ve had since you were two, the letters from your mother, your CD collection, your lovely new sheets, and all those precious things that you gather on life’s path could be all erased from existence. It would be cruel to say that possessions are meaningless, because they’re not. Things generally aren’t just things; they’re imbued with meaning, with memories, with significance. That’s why people who divorce spend so much time arguing

over a stupid vase. If they just wanted a vase they could go and buy one. But it’s that particular vase, because that vase doesn’t just hold flowers, it holds a story. What shocked me was how little time there was. In a flood you have time to box up your important documents, to grab the kids’ photos, some clothes, the dog. You have time to take things to higher ground, you have maybe 18 hours to devise an exit strategy. But not with fire. It seems there is no choice, only moments of confusion and immediacy. In the end you can only save yourself. I wondered if I were in the same situation what I’d try to save, after I’d got the kids and the animals out of course. Would I take the hair iron? The computer? My shoes? The kids’ clothes? My favourite pillow? Definitely not my tax receipts. And definitely not that ugly salad bowl I got for Christmas. I don’t know how you could choose under those circumstances. I guess you can’t. I guess that in such situations it is a case of a family suddenly facing their own personal ground zero and having to start again. The one thing fire can’t destroy is the tenacity of the human spirit, and the goodwill of a community that will reach out and help get a family back on their feet.

GONE Your life can change in an instant. As a human being very attached to the concept of permanence it is always deeply shocking when the universe chooses to reveal how impermanent things really are. Yesterday I glanced out the bedroom window and I noticed a giant plume of dark grey smoke coming from a house in our neighbourhood. It was surreal. I felt suddenly sick. Panic stricken. It was a fire and clearly a very ferocious one. My husband had noticed just seconds before me and was already dialling triple-O. In the minutes that followed, my kids and I stood on our front deck watching the horror unfold. The flames were massive; they seemed to be curling up around the ceiling, engulfing the house in a giant fireball that took probably no more than 12 minutes to destroy the house. It was like watching a dragon. The smoke cloud over the burning house had become giant, billowing black and toxic. Adults, children with dogs, and nextdoor neighbours all came scuttling away from the scene. By the time the firies turned up it was pretty obvious the house

Ellen Briggs is a mother of twins, who delivers her unique brand of very dark humour with sweetness and light.

This saw MS Briggs perform a set on Stand Up Australia.

s r a t S WITH LILITH As Mars joins retrograde Mercury, Jupiter and the sun in Cancer for one of the year’s most emotional weeks, feelings flicker like kaleidoscopes and moods rule…

E ARIES: Uranus retrograde in Aries and Mars in the emotional sign of home and family has everyone super-sensitive this week, so tenderise those vivid opinions. Be more user-friendly. Letting go the need for control will release a ton of tension. There, isn’t that better? F TAURUS: This week’s mounting expenses are likely to highlight what needs downsizing, whether that’s weight, outdated ways of operating, expensive habits or upkeeping unnecessary stuff. If you’re presented with a financial surprise of the not entirely delightful kind, the relationships you’ve invested in offer solid, dependable support. G GEMINI: Mars moving into your house of income arrives with ideas about making money by utilising your own specific gifts and the contribution you came here to make. But this week’s strategies are fuelled by feeling rather than reason; next week takes them out into the world. H CANCER: With zesty, energetic Mars and opportunityattracting Jupiter both beaming celestial benevolence your way for the next six weeks, don’t get sidetracked by minor dramas. Why go there when this is a peak personal power time of confidence, creativity and forward drive for the Crab clan?

I L EO: Your Majesty’s attributes of forcefulness and resourcefulness make you the inspirational negotiator for this itchy and scratchy week. But you’ll need to take an après-drama break – perhaps to refurbish the lion’s den? Though if you’re planning a new personal look, leave that till next week. J VIRGO: If this week isn’t what you wanted, are your expectations realistic? Besides disappointment, what else is it offering? If the upside’s hard to find, then like one of those old-fashioned spot-the-hidden-thing puzzles, explore the downside till you find its inherent potential. K L IBRA: Recognise conflicts of interest this week, then broker a balance between what’s good for you and what works for someone else. If you’re half-hearted or uninspired, either find a way to get excited or withdraw and make space for what really gets your heart rate up. L SCORPIO: Scorpio style’s instinctive, but this week it also needs to be strategic because what you do and how others perceive you doing it will affect the way the rest of the year plays out. Scorpio Johnny Mercer’s evergreen melody Accentuate The Positive is your backing track…

Ex-Services Club on Thursday 25 July. We caught up with Stukulele… Why do you think Uke has been so successful?

The Beatles loved the uke… so it must be okay. 2 – The internet and YouTube. 3 – Technology had been taking over and the time was right for people to start coming together for an enriching community experience. In our case, I had been teaching uke to kids and adults for a year and at the end of each course the students would ask ‘so where do we go now?’ At the very first Mullum uke night at the Courthouse there were

around 150 people in the room. Many folk who where there for dinner got caught up in the fun and brought ukes on the night. They are now on their third or fourth uke and still come each month. How do you come up with the concepts each month? Sometimes it’s easy – like Australia Day is a no-brainer. Other times out of a desire to do play stuff that you wouldn’t associate with the uke… such as an 80s night; and my favourite ABDE (Abba, Beatles, Dylan, Elvis). You quickly learn a good song is a good song and if it can’t be played on the uke… maybe it’s not such a good song. What are the songs or themes that are most often requested? 50s, 60s and 70s seem to be the most favoured… anything before drum machines arrived on the scene. Though it may have something to do with the average age of the hardcore ukers. No-one has asked about metal, punk or emo night as yet. How is the uke movement growing? The 2010 documentary The Mighty Uke pretty much sums it up and I believe has inspired many folk into Uke-ville. That is certainly true in my case… it helped my confidence in starting the Uke Night in 2011. Since then, in Australia there are at least eight new uke festivals that I can think of, including Brisbane’s first ever uke festival – Spruke – in September this year. What is your vision for the uke nights coming up. I will be asking all the local schools (primary and secondary) if they would like their talented kids to perform at the August uke night. There is a registration form at ukemullum.com/schools to enter their acts. It can be a solo performer or a group. They will have a chance to be backed by the awesome uke night band and lead the room full of ukers. I’d also like to do an ‘originals night’ open to everyone who has written a tune. TV themes may happen this year and we have a Motown evening coming as well. What should we expect for the second birthday celebration? It’s an Eclectic Extravaganza with Elvis (yes ELVIS), Mana Aloha Hula Dancers (led by Star Woman Lilith Rochas), Eric the Dog, The Northern Rivers Uke Orchestra… some Supremes… Britney Spears and maybe… Miss Amber in a new frock. Thursday 25 July at the Mullum Ex-Services. From 6.30pm. Entry $10, kids free.

M S AGITTARIUS: This week’s strong emotional quotient renders people edgy and defensive, so you’re excused for getting confused by mood swings and ambivalent signals. With Mercury still playing trickster, the more you appreciate the funny side of life’s rascal magic the less irritating you’ll find its inconsistencies. N CAPRICORN: The coming week is arguably the year’s most sensitive, so exercise conversational caution because even helpful observations may be taken as criticism. Your code word’s Listen: to people’s feelings, ideas and reasons. Venture some tentative questioning if you’re game, but be discreet with your own personal information. O AQUARIUS: It’s always helpful to remember stress is the gap between the way you want the world to be and the way it actually is. Accepting the way things are this week – embracing the disarray, dancing with chaos – will go a long way towards lessening tensions. P P ISCES: Promises or proposals made this week mightn’t be reliable or dependable, so you’ll need to finesse fact from fabrication. But a grand water trine and Mars in your house of pleasure encourage choosing more of what enriches your spirit, feeds your soul and simply feels good.

cinema r cinema review eview The Heat

I feared the worst when I saw that this was directed by Paul Feig, the fellow who lumbered us with the execrable Bridesmaids. My unease grew with every crass introductory scene in which the point is laid on thicker than bog in a hippie’s kombi that police officer Mullens (Melissa McCarthy) is fat, foul-mouthed and unkempt, but terrifically effective on the mean streets of Boston. It is one of cinema’s elevating achievements that we can now have women, too, say ‘fuck’ in every sentence, is it

not? (To be honest, I hoped that the unescorted children in the audience were not exposed to similar language at home.) FBI agent Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is her antithesis. Slim, neat and temperamentally stitched up, she and Mullens are obvious candidates for a buddy movie. And so it goes, with nothing out of the ordinary for the first half, as the girls overcome irreconcilable differences to support each other in their macho cops’ world while getting deeply involved in an ongoing narcotics investigation.

An obligatory all-night drinking session, in which they do the usual silly stuff, comes as an unexpected turning point. Following it, the story swerves into darker territory, with a (literally) shocking murder blasting the complacent viewer out of the genre’s standard comfort zone. Despite – or more likely because of – the dramatic shift in emphasis, the humour becomes edgier, less forced and, as a consequence, funnier – there is a hilarious incident in a diner, cleverly set-up much earlier,

when Ashburn performs an impromptu tracheotomy on a choking customer. As always, however, the success or otherwise of such a film depends entirely on the chemistry between the main characters – and McCarthy and Bullock are a delight, delivering their lines with impeccable timing and sharing the sort of warmth that makes you care for what happens to them. Writer Katie Dippold at no point allows them

to be mere female versions of blokes and even manages to bring the caper home with a sentimental flourish that fits like a glove. Recommended. ~ John Campbell

problematic. He doesn’t stoop to do a lazy re-hash of Jack Sparrow on horseback, but neither does he push himself much beyond skylarking. Letting the indian be the protagonist is terribly gallant – in a cloyingly PC sort of way – but such good intentions are surely undone by the recourse to ‘blackface’. One thing is certain,

no Native American actor has anywhere near the box-office appeal of Depp, so it is game, set and match to the financial backers. Physically, the two are a natural pairing and they aim for that magic Butch and Sundance roguishness, but with only moderate success. The repartee – there is precious little of it in a very long 130 minutes – falls short of the mark, with considerably more effort being put into the action sequences, which is only to be expected given Jerry Bruckheimmer’s involvement as producer. The story of how John Reid became the Lone Ranger is told in flashback when a withered old Tonto comes to

life as the ‘noble savage’ at a Wild West fair to address a star-struck kid. Every treasured reference of the genre is then called upon, from John Ford’s epic Monument Valley landscapes to the posse chasing the hideous bad guy to the unscrupulous railway tycoon to the frenetic runaway train. The latter is executed with panache and precision, but I’d been worn down by the time the over-

extended, steel-wheels finale, replete with exploding canyon bridge, finally arrived. As is so often the case in blockbusters, the excitement imperative had annihilated all else, leading to a closing half-hour of cluttered,

barely intelligible narrative components. Rossini steals the show when his rambunctious William Tell Overture wraps up what is an uninspiring shambles. ~ John Campbell

a fantastic opening scene, Brad ensures that his young family is delivered to the safety of a US aircraft carrier, where he is prevailed upon to come out of retirement and save humanity. It’s the labours of Hercules all over again as Brad flies to Korea to investigate an early report of an incident, and from there

to Jerusalem. The sight of the zombies scaling the walls of the Holy City is awesome and Brad is lucky to escape, jumping on a Belarus Air jet with a girl from the Israeli army whose left hand he’d lopped off after she was bitten by one of the undead. Fortunately she’s as tough as Brad and, after he fixes up her wound by

splashing airline vodka on it they head for Cardiff. But no! There are zombies on the plane, so Brad blows a hole in the fuselage with a grenade and they’re all sucked out… but the plane crashes… and nobody survives but Brad and the chick… I loved it. ~ John Campbell

The Lone Ranger Armie Hammer, the ‘twins’ in The Social Network, was a shoo-in for this part. Tall, classically handsome and blessed with a sonorous baritone and a pleasing gift for self-deprecation, he has become the new Brendon Fraser – which is not really meant to be a backhanded compliment. Johnny Depp as Tonto is more

30 July 16, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

To quote the late, great Dennis Hopper in Land of the Dead… ‘zombies, they freak me out, man’. I was scared witless when I first saw George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead and have been a fan of the undead ever since. But developments in special effects have resulted in a new breed of the horrible things. Back in 1968 they shuffled about at a rate most of us could outpace – now they run as fast as Usain Bolt, squealing and grunting like creatures from Hieronymus Bosch’s hell. When they arrive bloodstained and uninvited in your neck of the woods you can only pray that beautiful Brad Pitt is nearby to help out. Nobody knows how the outbreak started – nobody ever does – but this time the entire planet has been engulfed by zombie mayhem. Brad, a former UN troubleshooter, is in a Philadelphia traffic jam with his pale wife and cute daughters when the gore fest hits town. In

He’s a smoochy, loving chap who requires a special person or family to care for him & give him the love he truly deserves. If you can give this incredible boy a home, please come in & meet him. Our volunteers will be happy to tell you all about him. You will fall in love! To meet Tiddles & his pals, visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby.

Kids at risk let down, says MP Jan Barham Staff reporters

North coast-based MP Jan Barham has called for the urgent increase of staff and funding for child protection in the wake of a damning report highlighting a severe lack of caseworkers to deal with atrisk children. A spate of brutal deaths around the state of children who were repeatedly reported to be at risk has thrown the spotlight on the Department of Family and Community Services and its apparent failure to protect them. One of those cases involve toddler Tanilla Warrick-Deaves, whose mother pleaded guilty last week to the manslaughter of the two-yearold. Tanilla’s distraught father, Adrian Casaran-Warrick, lives in Ballina. Ms Barham, a former Byron Shire mayor, says identifying families where children are at risk and taking appropriate action, including early intervention services and assessment, must be urgent priorities. The Greens MP’s comments follow the release of a Fairfax Media report which showed that almost three-quarters of children deemed at risk of significant harm in NSW will not see a caseworker to undergo safety checks. The report can be viewed at www.smh. com.au/nsw/44899-childrenunchecked-20130709-2pofc. html.

Worker freeze The internal departmental documents obtained under freedom of information also reveals a departmental freeze on hiring new caseworkers to deal with the state’s most vulnerable children. Figures show 61,308 children and young people were reported as being at risk between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, yet only 16,409 were interviewed by a caseworker and given a safety check. Ms Barham said she was concerned that the recent NSW Budget didn’t show ‘a funding commitment to prioritise the support for vulnerable children’.

‘Recent reports have highlighted that child protection caseworkers aren’t able to keep up with the number of reports received, and concerns have been raised about the time spent on paperwork rather than face-to-face visits and checks. ‘The budget only allocated a 2.8 per cent funding increase to statutory child protection and, even worse, funding for targeted early intervention to support vulnerable families has been cut by more than eight per cent. ‘A government discussion paper on child protection, released last year, recognised the need for targeted action to prevent harm to children, including early intervention and parenting programs.’

Under strain Ms Barham noted that the foster-care system was already under strain, with more than 18,000 children currently in out-of-home care. ‘Foster carers play a vital role caring for the 18,000 children who are unable to live with their own families,’ she said. ‘But more support is needed to increase the number of carers. The government must clarify the current situation with caseworkers and how reports of risk of significant harm are handled. ‘There also must be enough caseworkers so that reports of significant risk can be assessed, and early intervention and prevention services have to be expanded. ‘Children at risk must be the highest priority in NSW,’ Ms Barham said. The Fairfax Media report says state government has refused repeated requests to provide a detailed breakdown of how many caseworkers it employs, with a spokesman for family and community services minister Pru Goward only saying there are ‘around 2,000’ employed at present. Ms Barham also provided budget figures, which show that spending in Targeted Earlier Intervention dropped this year by 6.3 per cent from $262,220 in 2012–13 to $245,798 in 2013–14.

Sport Golf is a joy for June Devils pretty in pink to shut out Ghosts

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

‘It only took me 88 years to get here’, says June Selleck, who last month won her division the the Club Medal competition for the Ocean Shores Ladies Golf event. June, who is an 88-yearold spring chicken, had her birthday last month and treated herself on the day to a win in a competition she has been chasing for many years. ‘I used to pretty much be the occasional “hack” golfer’, says June. ‘But after my husband died, I found golf got me out more so I was in my 70s when I got a bit more serious about it.’ June says she enjoys both the exercise and the company and camaraderie of all the lovely ladies who play up at Ocean Shores club. The course on the medal

winning birthday was heavy. Carts were only allowed on paths for most of the fairways – not the best conditions to play under. ‘June has been playing golf for many years’, says fellow golfer Lesley Wall. ‘Each week she is there, ready to conquer the course and have fun playing the game she loves. This is a statement that age should never be a barrier to playing sport and is an inspiration to us all at the club.’ June was the Division 3 winner for stoke with a score of 75nett; winner of the nearest to pin, winner to the least number of putts (32) and for the first time in her life of many years of golf, the proud winner of a Club Medal. ‘All of this was an extraordinary effort for anyone’, says Lesley. ‘Let alone a pint-size 88-year-old’.

The Devils’ Jared De Thierry weighs up his options at Red Devil Park on Sunday. John Campbell

When battling tooth and nail with an uncompromising, equally determined opponent, what matters most is that nobody shirks it. Enthralling an estimated 7,811 punters last Sunday, not one of the Byron Bay Red Devils went missing as the side hung on grimly to defeat perennial big-shots the Grafton Ghosts by 10-8, thus cementing their spot in the NRRRL top five as the playoffs loom. A titanic struggle came down to the Ghosts’ failed attempt at conversion of a try, on the bell, from the sideline, to decide the matter – but as

Magpies disheartening for Bombers

The Byron Coopers Magpies’ first half on Saturday at Bangalow was disheartening for opposition Burleigh Heads as the Bombers were unable to score a single goal. The Magpies on the other hand kicked six straight goals in the first quarter, three from

Matt Shaw, two from Liam Afflick and one from Brett Porter. The opening term could not have been any better for Byron. The second quarter saw another five goals kicked by Byron, three of those from Joe Ryan. At the half-time break, Byron were in complete control of the game as

OUR TIDE CHART AND MARKET GUIDE HAVE MOVED THIS WEEK TO PAGE 37 North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

Burleigh had struggled to get possession of the ball. Burleigh found some confidence in the second half as Byron missed a number of shots at goal. However, a best on ground effort by centre half back Sam Mitchell repelled Burleigh’s attack to help set up 4 goals for his team in the third quarter. Byron’s on-ballers continued to win the football in the fourth quarter to expose a huge gap between the two sides’ scoring abilities. Rested Byron backman Shannon ‘the Dog’ Davidson had plenty to cheer about as his side’s goal tally climbed to over 20. Davidson had a busy day attempting to match the number of goals scored with a corresponding number of beers consumed. His effort from the sideline was commendable and provides excellent preparation for the much-anticipated end of season footy trip.

they say in the classics, a miss is as good as a mile. Grafton threw everything at the Devils in the second forty and they might have considered themselves at least worthy of a draw, but nobody in red with a flute of pink champagne in their hand would have had a bar of the home side not being awarded the winner’s laurel. A cold and cloudy afternoon was brightened by a higher than usual proportion of the fairer sex in the outer, attracted by the club’s commendable ‘ladies’ day’ promotion. In solidarity with the fight to defeat the scourge of breast cancer, the boys took the field in hot pink socks,

but that was about as Liberace as things got in an intensely physical contest. Moved from centre to fullback, as was GI, Chris ‘BB’ King opened the scoring for the Devils when he chimed into the outside edge attack to take three defenders over the white line with him in the corner. After a cautious start in which both sides put a premium on minimising mistakes and sizing up the other mob, the breakthrough was like the release of a safety valve. Peter ‘Bloodnut’ Flannery dashed in from dummy-half and suddenly the Bay were ahead 10-nil. Nobody thought for a minute that the Ghosts would

be rattled, but nor did anybody think that they would keep their hosts pointless for the next hour. Brett ‘Barbarossa’ Harvey came close when he regathered an outlandish chip-andchase, but as time passed it became apparent that the Blue-and-Whites were warming to the task. Byron had stolen the initiative, but the second half was bound to see an onslaught from the Ghosts. Victory would go to the side that was as strong in spirit as body, as resolute in self-belief as in structure. The Ghosts got a try from broken play – it was a try that should never have been scored – and they started to act like lords of the manor. With tight passing, their bigger forwards were making plenty of headway and, when given the opportunity, their backs were on a number of occasions denied by last-ditch tackling. Up against it, the Red Devils might have crumbled, but they would not lie down. Special mention must be made of prop ‘Toothless’ Simon Kelly who, as always, led his pack from the front. Whenever the Bay was under the pump – and it often was – he carried the ball fearlessly into the ruck to make valuable yards. Joined by Flannery, Harvey, Hemi ‘Sphere’ Mullen, wiry Sam ‘Bob’ Dwyer, Joseph ‘General’ Gordon and Michael ‘Twiggy’ Lambert, Byron’s forwards laid the foundation for a mighty win.

Ugly but interesting in Shand’s earthly paradise Brian Mollet

Soccer may be the beautiful game and Rugby what they play in heaven, but in this earthly paradise of Byron Shire the ugly but interesting can be seen each Sunday giving their best in the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series, local sporting subculture’s answer to the ultimate question: Are we there yet? Game two saw the fringedwellers of Main Arm emerge from their bush bunkers to tussle with switchedon socialites the Byron FullTossers. Ash of Byron won the toss and with Lomath Oval damp and chilly as a politician’s handshake sent the Main Armers in. Toby fired in the new ball with sniperlike precision and removed the plucky Kiwi Greg-O in his first over. Byron were obviously smarting after their narrow loss to the Left Bank-

ers a couple of weeks ago and had brought out their A team. Jamie, Richie and Jay (2–1) soon had the top order groping round the locker room like Jimmy Saville. Brian (24) once again showed that bloodymindedness is a substitute for talent but when Bucko flayed perhaps the shot of the day to midwicket only to be caught by a tumbling Toby on the boundary it was clear that Lady Luck was giving the Armers a good jilting. Joffrey thumped a couple of fours with his own brand of studied nonchalance but

Frankie (2–6), and Morgan not only cleaned up the tail, but gave it a good polish, Main Arm evicted en masse for a paltry 69. The post-lunch Tosser openers Richie and Mark (34 n/o) put the game well beyond discussion with a stand of 52 and all that was left to do was for Jay to loosen up his big shoulders, thumping two sixes and two fours to leave the Armers slowly regaining consciousness in the casualty ward. Next week the competition’s cutest team, the Geckos, take on the trendiest, the Suffolk Park Swingers.

Shiners ladder leader after Lismore loss Dean Trevskis

The Mullumbimby Moonshiners travelled to Lismore on Saturday looking to avenge the loss of a fortnight ago and secure top spot on the Far North Coast Rugby Presidents Cup ladder. From the kick-off a good chase and solid rucking earned Mullum a penalty. Nathan ‘Super Boot’ Nicholls had no problem splitting the uprights. Lismore responded with a ten-minute phase of possession in Mullum’s half, recycling through an experienced and dominant forward pack. But the onslaught yielded only three points as the competition’s tightest defence led by Deadly Duncan Kendall held strong. When a petulant Lismore second rower attempted to slap the strapping tape of Jamie Stevens’s head he was yellow carded, Nicholls applied the salt to the wound, slotting the penalty. Mullum upped the ante when the old camapigner Dillon ‘WeeMan’ Pyne gathered a difficult ball on the wing ran twenty metres then chipped and chased. Pyne was all over the Lismore defence like a cheap suit forcing them to scramble the ball into touch. It set up Mullum’s first try.

Byron Bay rugby union were beaten 16–5 by Bangalow’s Eastern Rebels on Saturday. In a triumph of grind over glamour and beef over brilliance, it was fair reward for the disciplined Rebels. Byron Bay remain comfortably in the First Grade top four, six points clear of Ballina and Bangalow. Still with a game in hand, the Bay will look to secure maximum points in the coming weeks against trailing teams University, Casino and Grafton. Byron had been rocked midweek by a shoulder injury to Josh Smith. The charismatic front rower will miss a month of football after a training mishap and his absence was a boon to the Rebels, whose game relies so heavily on scrum dominance. Byron’s smaller scrum was on rollerskates in the slippery conditions and the Rebels turned territory and possession into points to lead 6–0 at the break. Byron were forced to play a counterat-

Jackson Lewin fast off the ruck to Nicholls for a cut out pass to Nathan Appel who needed no invitation to dissect a strung out Lismore defence and push the score to 11–3. Hooker Leon Matchett-Oates was among the Shiners’ best early but over-exuberance conceded a penalty and cost him ten in the bin. Lismore seized their opportunity, working deep into attack then setting up their tight head prop to hit the ball running, break a tackle and surge across the line. Mullum up by three at oranges but honours evenly shared. Mullum came out swing-

ing from the break driving a maul deep into Lismore territory. Then strong runs from Jamie Stevens and Wal Andrews drew the defence and created the overlap. Flanker Brett Hazlett exploited the numbers goose stepping his way across the glue pot for a try. Minutes later a double tackle left him heaving on the sidelines. Mitch ‘Bulldozer’ Arthur squared up with a bone rattling hit on Lismore’s full back. Mullum had the edge in fitness and depth off the bench. The home side was visibly tiring and Nath Nicholls drove the boot in. He turned them at every opportunity allowing Simon Hut-

ton to terrorise them with his outrageous speed. He nailed the Lismore coffin running unopposed alongside teammates Hazlewood and Nichols to chase a kick into Lismore’s in goal and score. Lismore pulled a try back at the death but 28–13 told the story of a hard fought but impressive Moonshine victory. Mitch Arthur and irrepressible scrum half Jackson Lewin shared players player. With two weeks off the Shiners’ next game is at home on Saturday August 3.

tacking game but still looked the most likely to score tries in the first half. Centre Harry Nuttall grounded over the line but after a long consultation between referee and linesman the Byron star was judged to have made contact with the corner post. The Rebels extended their lead to nine after a third penalty conversion early in the second half but the Bay replied in scintillating fashion when Jash Saeck delivered a marvellous ball to put fullback George Kitching over in the corner. With twenty minutes to play the tide seemed to have turned in the Bay’s favour. The Rebels’ back three remained effective but their ponderous inside backs and midfield posed no threat despite a glut of quality possession. The Rebels’ big forwards were also visibly tiring. Much to their credit, desperate defence from the home side forced Byron into the unforgivable error of conceding a penalty when in possession of the ball. In a frustrating afternoon Byron

44 July 16, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

had already missed five shots at goal and another successful Rebels’ conversion relieved the scoreboard pressure. The Rebels closed out the match with a late forwards try. In a performance lacking nothing in courage but a good deal in composure, Saeck and Kitching were excellent as was evergreen centre Robert Lynch who must surely be closing in on 100 appearances for Byron Bay. Nathan Nicholls showed his quality and versatility at halfback but the Bay sorely missed the attacking edge and direction of Jack Dickson, who was serving a controversial one-match suspension.

In the forwards the great Michael Armstrong was still dominant in a pack outgunned at the set piece. Captain and expectant father Pete Shaw was brave as always, the reliable Tom Homer was never far from the ball, and new-look Matt Larsson returned to his best form. On the score of desire the Bay’s front rower Craig Wallace was unmatched. Byron Bay have a bye this Saturday ahead of a midweek trip to Southern Cross University. Byron will again rest up over the Splendour weekend before taking on Casino at home on 3 August.

Time to invest in strengthening market: First National Now is the time to invest in Australia’s strengthening property market, to capitalise on the momentum that’s slowly been building all year, says First National Real Estate’s 2013 Property Market Outlook Mid Year Update. The Outlook, released last week, is based on a survey of the 400+ member network and draws on their experience at a grassroots level, providing insight to what member agents anticipate the market will do in their area for the remainder of 2013. ‘Our members are expecting the second half of the year to strengthen even further, with the revival experienced in the first half continuing,’ Ray Ellis, CEO of First National Real Estate, said. ‘Although pockets of our membership anticipate soft trading conditions for the next few months, a clear majority is optimistic that the federal election will bring a change of government as well as a positive change in their property markets.’ As the economy also continues to improve, interest rates are expected to remain low for some time, with 51 per cent of members expecting them to reduce even further. The report highlights the impact of ongoing low interest rates on fixed rate mortgages, which are expected to become more popular with home owners over the coming six months, according to 86 per cent of First National members, with some even saying home buyers may hold off for longer, with the expectation that rates may lower further still. ‘The challenge of low interest rates is that they could lead to a quicker than expected rise in house prices as households take on higher levels of debt,’ Mr Ellis pointed out. ‘The associated boost to wealth and sen-

timent could, in time, generate stronger than expected consumption growth.’ House prices across the nation have stabilised and are slowly beginning to trend upwards. However, price growth is expected to be modest, according to Mr Ellis, and nowhere near the 5 per cent to 7 per cent predicted by some economists. Property sales volumes should remain at current levels, but for some states such as New South Wales, Victoria and the Northern Territory, they will begin to trend upwards. ‘There is potential for the number of homes for sale to drop off at election time, but volumes should increase once the federal government has been decided,’ Mr Ellis said. The number of homes for sale has been trending downwards, which may be partially responsible for the current high auction clearance rates in the leading indicator states of Victoria and New South Wales. ‘Auction clearance rates have been consistently higher than 60 per cent nationally, and around the 70 per cent mark in the key Melbourne and Sydney markets,’ Mr Ellis said, ‘This is placing additional upward pressure on prices, which have already shown themselves to be trending upwards in some areas.’ The national member survey shows that First National’s agents are evenly split on whether prices will rise or stay the same over the next six months. However, encouragingly, only 4 per cent anticipate they will drop. ‘It is unlikely we will see a solid upturn in house prices before 2015, due to cautious spending and borrowing behaviours,’ Mr Ellis warns. The two key market health indicators, the Days on

Market (number of days it takes to sell a property) and Vendor Discounting (the reduction needed from the initial asking prices), are both showing signs of a downward trend, signalling a positive outlook for the market. According to the Outlook’s Mid Year Update, a key trend to watch for is the rise of the foreign investor, especially in the commercial property market. ‘Foreign investment in Australia’s property market has continued to increase on the back of the country’s stable economy and high yielding assets, with Asian buyers leading the charge,’ Mr Ellis said. Another trend is the rise in the number of people purchasing property through their superannuation funds, which 76 per cent of members say they expect will increase in the coming six months.

2013 has been hailed as ‘the year of the property investor’ where interest rates are now below rental yields in many areas and attracting investment. ‘According to our members, the rental market in Australia will continue to be relatively tight, with little room for movement,’ Mr Ellis said, ‘Ongoing strong demand will tighten the market even further, with vacancy rates stretched to their limits in many areas. ‘This will continue to place upward pressure on weekly rental prices. However, given the strong affordability of housing at the moment, there is not much more the market can bear in terms of weekly rental prices.’ The Property Market Outlook can be read online at http://bit.ly/10Q9L5b.

Along with individuals in power, some government departments seem to suffer from ‘Hubris syndrome’ – read an article on the disorder at http://bit.ly/efLtv1. The RMS – formerly RTA – and the Forestry Corporation of NSW readily spring to mind. The forestry corporation is supported in its delusions by the paltry fine of $900 it received recently for illegal logging of koala habitats in the Royal Camp State Forest. Its spokespersons and bureacrats have had a cavalier attitude to the law and to concerned citizens for decades and it’s time an independent inquiry went through its activities like a dose of salts.

Thanks to some thoughtless person(s), Bangalow Road at Hayters Hill last week sported a pre-loved lounge replete with a half-dozen vermin-enticing garbage bags. Perhaps the perpetrators would like to relocate their wares or even themselves to the local tip.

core, this theory challenges the long-held notion that the earliest art and artists were

merely trying to draw the external world. Instead, it sees cave art as a deliberate mix of rituals inducing altered states for participants, coupled with brain chemistry that elicits certain visual patterns for humanity’s early chroniclers.’ You can read the article on Alternet at http:// bit.ly/18JC0Hy and there is also a link there to the original scientific paper. It’s an interesting theory that runs alongside Terence McKenna’s colourful hypothesis in Food of the Gods that early human motor and learning skills were enhanced by psychedelics. Despite the hardcore bleatings of some politicians on a law-and-order rampage, it’s a fact that some percentage of our species has made use of drugs for millennia, and it’s best to ensure they are used wisely.
