Masterplan adopted ‘A leap of faith’ is how mayor Simon Richardson described the adoption of the Byron Bay town centre masterplan at last Thursday’s Council meeting. After 18 months of development, the revised masterplan now features a redesigned foreshore parkland, a pedestrian-prioritised town centre, a ‘focus on place-making and the public domain’, a reinvigorated railway square and ‘enhanced village entry points.’ Jonson Street will be upgraded, with a ‘unique materials palette’ to distinguish it as the primary towncentre street. The result will be ‘increased local residential and commercial opportunities,’ connecting with the wetlands around the Sandhills area. Mayor Richardson said, ‘We’ve had over 2,000 community inputs into the plan’s development.’ And while he says it will guide our thinking, ‘it is not prescriptive.’ He says a governance group will now be established to help implement the plan.

Gold-plated Bruns

There was one moment at last Thursday’s Council meeting when you could hear a pin drop. It was just after Cr Sol Ibrahim blurted out that everyone should be worried about the legal advice regarding the Coastal Zone Management Plan Byron Bay Embayment (CZMP BBE).

Roundhouse funds lead to roads, parks Road resurfacing in the Shire’s north has taken by far the biggest slice of the ‘Roundhouse’ land-sale cash, after councillors voted last Thursday on where the allocation of funds will go. And while there’s money to be splashed at parks and youth facilities, during public access questions were raised from residents Tina Petroff and Angela Dunlop as to why essential infrastructure such as roads should have to be paid for by the sale of assets. The open-space projects for the 2016/17 capital works program now include Waterlily Park Playscape ($100,000), Devines Hill boardwalk and amenity improvements ($112,000), and youth oriented recreation facilities for South Golden Beach ($118,000).

Everyone in the room started listening very closely, because well, there has been no legal advice tabled. So what does Cr Ibrahim know that everyone else doesn’t? For those not up to speed, the CZMP BBE is a major coastal policy that, in part, aims to give legal certainty to a handful of beachfront Belongil landowners. Their erosion hotspot home/hol-

iday investment would get official seawall protection, and that would move us closer to Gold Coast-style coastal management. The down side? Council doesn’t have the budget of the Gold Coast. There are no sand-nourishment mitigation plans for the expected loss of an iconic beach. And there is no legal advice as to liability with a proposed 1.1km seawall affecting the

adjacent Elements resort. Regardless, Cr Ibrahim and his four supporting councillors would very much like for this to be approved ASAP, and provided the least amount of time for the public to assess the plans. That closed June 14. Cr Ibrahim’s blurt all came about after Cr Duncan Dey (Greens) put a motion forward for a public poll on continued on page 8

Road renewal projects include Beach Avenue, South Golden Beach ($307,200), The Esplanade, New Brighton ($216,000), Orana Road, Ocean Shores ($1,040,024), River Street, New Brighton ($466,800), and Coomburra Crescent, Ocean Shores (part length, $503,276). Mayor Simon Richardson says it was a hard decision for residents to choose the projects, ‘as many roads and open spaces in the north need additional funding.’ ‘Though we don’t have the available funding to complete all of the proposed projects, or the many other community-suggested roads and initiatives, this is a good start continued on page 2

Lennox to be boosted by sports facility A $5.9million winter sports training facility will be built at Lennox Head, the NSW government announced Tuesday. The world-class International Ski Jump Ramp and high performance centre will be based at Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre and will feature an Olympic sized swimming pool and water jump ramp. Minister for sport, Stuart Ayres, said the facility will be suitable for various sporting disciplines, with a major focus on winter sports.

Wayne Stokes took this picture on Sunday June 5, in what were some of the biggest waves to hit the north coast in years.

Roundhouse funds lead to roads, parks continued from page 1 on addressing infrastructure renewals for roads and open spaces that are well used and highly valued in the north,’ he said. Mayor Richardson said what was also heard clearly from the consultation was the reaffirmed need for additional cycleways and footpaths. He said Council had requested a report to update the available Section 94 developer contributions funds for cy-

cleways plus external funding sources such as grants. In planning ahead, Council will also consider the inclusion of on-road bike paths in future road renewals.

Pavement renewal Council say of the $3.8 million proceeds from the former ‘Roundhouse’ land sales, $466,700 had already been allocated to the pavement renewal of Kolora Way between Shara Boulevard

and Natan Court. Plus a further $467,268.05 has been allocated for the new North Ocean Shores Sports Field. Mayor Simon Richardson said the north Byron Shire funding allocation was part of Byron Shire Council’s Fit for the Future program. ‘It’s a key component to help us address our infrastructure backlog,’ he reaffirmed. Mayor Richardson also congratulated the north for

establishing a North Byron Shire Reference Group made up of community groups. ‘Council looks forward to working together to help strengthen the northern end of the shire and start the journey on developing a masterplan for the area.’ Council say that the allocation of funds was a result of consultation in May, where residents in the north were asked to help prioritise the funding.

Echo celebrates 30 Mullumbimby Civic Hall was decked out in lavish decor, fine food and top-notch entertainment for The Echo’s 30th celebration and awards on Saturday night. The Echo has held awards nights every five years or so, and one of The Echo’s founders, David Lovejoy, told the audience it was a homecoming of sorts as the first awards, were held in the Civic Hall. He said, ‘We are still defending the environment against the insolence of wealth, still asserting our civil liberties against the state who is bent on trampling them.’ David gave a colourful account of the current state of local politics, then added, ‘There will probably be similar shenanigans in 2036 when we celebrate our 50th anniversary, although I may have to be present as a head in a jar, à la Futurama.’

Echo awards As for the awards, Julie Williams was presented with The Unsung Hero Echo Award for Keeping Our Community Strong. Julie runs the Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre and provides many vital services on a shoestring. Arakwal spokesperson and a custodian of Byron Bay, Delta Kay, was presented with The Echo Award for Keeping Country and Culture Strong. Legendary actor and activist Tony Barry was presented The True Believer Echo Award for Passion for Community Activism and the Arts. Publican Tom Mooney, long-time supporter of live music at The Rails, the Rugby 7s and a host of other local causes, received The Echo Award for Keeping Byron Byron. Mungo MacCallum re-

ceived a standing ovation for The Echo Award for the Most Underpaid and OverQualified Australian Journalist, which was presented by Kerry O’Brien.

Standing ovation Kerry began by saying, ‘It’s impossible to measure his contribution to journalism and what we might loosely call the national debate.’ ‘He’s not only contributed to practically every print and electronic news organisation in the country over his 50odd years in the game; he’s blazed many trails.’ Kerry spoke of how Mungo is the master of political satire and came into his own with the Nation Review, which Mungo described years ago as ‘loosely based around a small group of established writers that had little in common, except Olympian standards of alcohol consumption and a desire to see how far they could push journalism’s boundaries.’ Kerry said, ‘It’s not just that he pushed those boundaries 46 years ago with his pointed irreverence, his great turn of phrase, shape analysis

and capacity to cut through hypocrisy and cant’. ‘It’s that he continued to use his humour as a rapier – but backed up by intellect and the wisdom that comes from living the history. ‘And always driven by compassion. Informed compassion. ‘Not least with his books of political commentary and regular contributions in the monthly and quarterly essays – particularly on the two big political and social shames of our time: The failure by governments over decades to achieve a genuine reconciliation with Indigenous Australia and the nation’s treatment of refugees.’ Kerry also spoke of Mungo’s struggles with cancer, operation and chemo over the past two years. Mungo has regained some speech after a 15-hour throat operation. ‘Mungo once said he had managed to kill off every magazine he’s ever worked for… that his presence was the kiss of death. Well he hasn’t killed off The Echo. He’s only ever enhanced it. ‘This award comes with

great respect, affection and thanks from your colleagues and your readership throughout the region. And from all your old mates who draw inspiration from what you do. And love. ‘On behalf of everyone here tonight, congratulations.’ Mungo croaked to the cheering crowd, ‘Thanks so much, I’m speechless.’ The night was organised by Mandy Nolan, who miraculously made it all happen. Many thanks, Mandy!

A Green Army of young locals have been busy planting new seedlings in an attempt to stabilise the Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dunes after the recent storm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thanks to a federally funded project that gives young people aged 17 to 24 a chance to gain practical experience in bush regeneration and dune care, while receiving a government allowance and accredited training in areas such as land management and heritage conservation. Up to five metres of foredune in areas around Suffolk Park and New Brighton were recently severely damaged, says Green Army supervisor John McVicar. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to revegetate the dunes and get as much coverage on them as

North Coast news daily:

Numbing the public mind with coastal legal mumbo jumbo continued from page 1 the Shire’s highly politicised CZMP BBE. With the September 10 council elections looming, Cr Dey suggests the Electoral Commissioner could administer a poll that would accompany elections. Councillor Dey told the chamber that Cr Paul Spooner explained the situation well previously. ‘It has been five years to develop a plan, over a problem that has been going for over 30 years, and three weeks [were given] for the community to comment.’ ‘I don’t think it’s appropriate or adequate. And we have the perfect forum in which to gauge the community feeling on this.’ Cr Dey’s motion, like many before it, was later shot down in flames by the five in control of the chamber.

Unclear question Cr Ibrahim responded by explaining that the question was not clear enough for a poll. He gave examples of CSG and marriage equality and then compared it to the question posed – which was: ‘Do you support the removal of rock walls from the present 1.1km length of

beach at Belongil?’ ‘By whom?’ Cr Ibrahim asked, ‘At what cost? Is it legally possible? Is it binding on Council? Are there court cases still to be heard? The questions go on and on and on. ‘We’re still waiting for legal advice that this council resolved to seek in April. ‘I believe the cost has come back – the quote – so exorbitant that staff don’t really appear to know what to do with it, okay? ‘We don’t have the most basic answers to questions… the Supreme Court is yet to determine a matter we’re embroiled in… it goes on and on. I was going to ask Councillor Woods whether a poll had been conducted in 2012, when the previous CZMP was put up. ‘Did we ask the community then whether they supported the removal of rock walls? No we didn’t. But now we need to – I wonder why.’ Cr Ibrahim then said that the previous CZMP under a previous council – which favoured planned retreat but which was pulled at the last minute – only allocated three paragraphs to properties that do not have conditions on

happen?’ The GM replied that he had ‘no idea’. ‘I’ve had no conversations with any councillors about this,’ Mr Gainger said. ‘I can’t speak for Mr James, but find it surprising if he did.’

them for planned retreat. ‘[The previous CZMP] says it will rely on section 121 (B) of the [Environmental] Planning Assessment Act [1979]. Cr Ibrahim said that section of the Act deals with structures that are a danger to the public or are dilapidated. He argued that the houses in question could not be considered as a danger or dilapidated owing to their being protected already by a seawall that can withstand a one-infifty-year event. ‘And we are going to go to the Land and Environment Court and convince a judge that that building is a danger to the public? And on that basis we are going to order its demolition? The chances are zero to none. And even if so, you

would have to run the same case for every single property.’ After he finished speaking, the mayor immediately asked staff to clarify what legal advice had been tabled, given no-one else appeared to have been given any. General manager (GM) Ken Gainger replied that he received a note from legal service co-ordinator Ralph James earlier in the week, ‘expressing some real concerns about the implications and cost implications for preparing that advice.’ ‘My advice to him was to prepare a report for the next meeting,’ he said. The mayor then asked, ‘Why is it that Cr Ibrahim seems to know information that we don’t? How did that

Cr Dey wasn’t going to let it go, and asked Cr Ibrahim what the advice was and how he knew about it. Cr Ibrahim mumbled out of microphone range then said, ‘I don’t recall the exact words, but my understanding was is it was going to prove to be quite an expensive affair and that a report will be coming to Council to explain exactly what that means.’

No legal advice The mayor asked when that could be expected, to which the GM replied that it could be added to the agenda but may mean a reshuffle of councillors’ available times, as only a certain amount of time had been allocated. The mayor asked the GM: ‘So we’ll get a report on legal implications on the CZMP after we resolve on the CZMP?’ Mr Gainger replied, ‘If Council wishes to have that

advice, and I can understand the logic behind it… I’ll make sure there’s a report on June 29.’ Cr Ibrahim also pressed the GM for clarity on what legal advice to expect. He said the request for legal advice was made in February which gave Council staff two months ‘to provide us with a report, with the advice.’ ‘April 29 has come and gone, and we did not receive any advice, including the fact that we were not going to get the legal advice and any reason for it. ‘So when you are telling us now that we could have something on the agenda for the 29th, is that in the form of legal advice that answers the questions that were asked in that resolution or will it tell us it’s problematic and we can’t get it?’ Mr Gainger replied that based on the information from Mr James, ‘It’s saying there are potential implications in terms of reporting that collective advice.’ ‘And secondly there’s a substantial piece of additional work that would need to be done by our Sydney-based lawyers to complete that information for Council.’

Local candidates promise funding to tackle ice Labor’s alcohol and illicit drugs policy spokesperson Stephen Jones, Richmond MP Justine Elliot and Labor’s candidate for Page Janelle Saffin have announced that a Shorten Labor government will invest $2 million to upgrade The Buttery rehabilitation service in Binna Burra. Stephen Jones joined local MP Justine Elliot and candidate Janelle Saffin at The Buttery on Monday morning to announce Labor’s new fund-

ing commitment. Mr Jones said, ‘When someone puts their hand up and says that they want to turn their life around we need to make sure that they can get into treatment right away.’

as prevention strategies. ‘For two years in a row, the coalition has only offered a temporary, one-year funding extension for services relying on the NGO Treatment Grants.’

Nearly $1b in cuts Nationals’ pledge Labor says almost $1 billion has been cut from the Health Flexible Funds, which includes funds supporting alcohol and illicit drug rehabilitation and treatment as well

Meanwhile National candidate for Richmond Matthew Fraser says ‘a vote for me is a vote for the north coast to receive $5.7 million over the next three years to

combat ice use throughout the region.’ ‘That will fund an Immediate Ice Action Plan that will hold dealers to account with stronger enforcement, target prevention and education for those at risk, empower local communities and provide more support for families.’ He says the plan would also increase investment in treatment and workforce support and fund more research.

Beach Hotel hits the market The Beach Hotel is up for sale, which will surely attract significant interest nationally, if not internationally. It’s being described by commercial realtor and investment firm CBRE as, ‘One of Australia’s most recognised hospitality assets’. Ray White Hotels and CBRE Hotels have been jointly appointed to sell the landmark property, a CBRE press release says. Its owner is Melbourne businessman Max Twigg, who ‘made his money in waste management,’ CBRE says. ‘The beachfront hotel is leased to Melbourne pub industry identity John van Haandel until mid-2017 with a further two ten-year lease options.’ It’s the apex of the commercial precinct of Byron Bay at 4,585sqm, say CBRE, and generates a current annual income of circa $4.2m. Ray White’s Tony Bargwanna said, ‘Byron Bay has become a more and more tightly held market within the last two years and cash-flow properties rarely become available. ‘Recent development in and around Byron Bay such as Mercato on Byron, Seacliffs

Byron Bay and West Byron Housing Development have also boosted values in the town.’ The Australian Financial Review (Fairfax) puts the sale figure at $80 million while The Australian (Murdoch) claims expectations could reach ‘more than $75 million’. The Australian’s Samantha Hutchinson reports, ‘Mr Twigg secured the asset in 2007 for more than $65m in a deal he struck with Paul Hogan’s business partner John “Strop” Cornell.’ ‘Mr Cornell, who produced Crocodile Dundee, splashed out about $9m to build the pub in 1990, which has since forged a reputation as a lucrative entertaining venue.’ Ray White’s Jared Hodge added, ‘The area attracts significant year-round tourism expenditure, with an estimated 1.37 million visitors annually, which will be a key driver of investor interest in the Beach Hotel sale campaign.’ CBRE boasts to be the ‘world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm (in terms of 2015 revenue),’ with ‘more than 70,000 employees.’

Invisible government The inventor of public relations, Edward Bernays (1891 – 1995), died presumably with a smile on his face at 103, after a full and examined life of exploiting and manipulating the unwashed masses. While he made his fortune as the darling of the corporations and governments that employed him to sell their products and ideas, Bernays thankfully wasn’t precious with his knowledge. It turns out hypnotic Jedi mind skills can be refined through the study of psychoanalysis, and his books, such as Propaganda, lay out exactly how it all works. Here’s one quote: ‘We are governed, our minds are moulded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…’ Bernays was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Bernays was also influenced by Gustave Le Bon and Wilfred Trotter, who examined crowd psychology and regarded society as irrational and dangerous. It’s all about making the most of – and exploiting – the ‘herd instinct’. It’s worth considering when we all herd into a booth to make political decisions on July 2. It’s possible your choice has already been made for you. Hans Lovejoy, editor News tips are welcome: editor@echo.net.au

o we now have competing ten-year plans for what will be, at most, a three- year parliament. And for this reason alone neither of them is worth the paper it is largely not written on. When – if – they mature, they will be three elections away, with all the changes that this entails; even in the highly unlikely case that a single government survives that long, there will be retractions, backflips, broken promises and claims that of course the circumstances have altered and therefore the legislators must do the same. But of course it is far more basic than that. Even that eternal fount of optimism, the Commonwealth treasury, has to admit that the future is far from certain, and if things go wrong – as they are more or less bound to within a decade – all bets are off and we will be in deep doo-doo. So the piein-the-sky scenarios being promoted by both major parties are not just wishy-washy – they are totally airy-fairy, pure puffery. Which is, no doubt, why both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten are talking down their immediate benefits: nothing much will happen in the first four years, leaving plenty of time to make more unlikely promises before the next time the voters are dragged to the polls. And both sides reckon that they will deliver budget surpluses in 2020-21. Well, they might, but if they do it will be a matter of hope triumphant over experience. The last two treasurers, Wayne Swan and Joe Hockey, both promised early surpluses and the targets continued, remorselessly, to recede; the deficit has in fact trebled in the

years since Hockey famously declared a budget emergency and became far worse after he announced the end of the age of entitlement. So no-one is likely to lay down the champagne in anticipation of when the figures come around in four years’ time. The point is that the forecasts are pointless; they are mere spin, designed partly to inspire confidence, which is not a bad

independents cobbled together in hastily formed coalitions, it is tempting to believe that they couldn’t do any worse than the last few lots. It is now more than a decade since John Howard started hurling the proceeds of the mining boom to any willing voters who asked for them and since then there has no serious attempt to repair the damage. Obviously the GFC did not help, nor did

Even that eternal fount of optimism, the Commonwealth treasury, has to admit that the future is far from certain. by Mungo MacCallum thing, but mainly to pretend to the punters that the situation is totally under control, that there is no reason for alarm, let alone for panic. Because of course if there were, the leaders would have to do something about it, and in the election contest this is simply not on. So we see Shorten belatedly tweaking spending cuts while Turnbull waffles and Morrison mutters about how something may (or may not) happen after July 2 is safely out of the way. And each side goes along with the fantasy that it, and only it, has the solution and the other is wasting money, attempting to bribe the swinging voters and avoiding the real issues. It is hard to deny that at least a large part of the second contention is right – on both sides. In the circumstances the public has every right to remain cynical and disengaged; the drift away from the major parties is accelerating, and while it is highly unlikely that the answer lies in hung parliaments with minor parties and

the decline in commodity prices; but these could have been, and should have been accommodated if properly and honestly structured budgets had become the norm. Instead, we saw ambushes, broken promises, and a continuation of the handout mentality to the rent seekers from both major parties. Most of them have done very nicely, thank you – until their own largesse was at least partially removed to make way for the next lot of carpetbaggers. And so it has been, and so it is. This is not to say that some, at least, of the proposals suggested by Turnbull and Shorten are not worthwhile. Company tax cuts are intrinsically desirable, although the contention that they are some kind of economic philosopher’s stone is of course absurd. Education, health and renewable energy are obviously important priorities, and supporting them should be applauded: but equally obviously, their effect on the economy is at best indi-

rect and long term. To their credit, both Turnbull and Shorten are finally acknowledging that there are problems, and that they are more likely to get worse before, if ever, they get better. But that is about all they are doing; most of the time they are wafting through the marginal seats, distributing beads, mirrors and other trinkets to the eager recipients on the one hand while mercilessly blackguarding the opposition on the other. It has been a most unedifying election campaign, and we still have three long weeks of it to endure. Shorten at least keeps telling us that his plan will eventually be fully costed well before the fateful day, in plenty of time for the government’s enforcers to fall on it with shrill screams of outrage and deliver it to the Murdoch press, which, after a brief turn at mildly criticising Turnbull, has fallen (or been pushed) into line to bash Labor and everything it stands for, or that it can be imagined to stand for. Turnbull, when asked about his figures, simply refers doubters back to his budget – which is no answer at all, given the way things have developed since and are still developing. So for the weary voters, it will come back to a simple question: which of the unloved and untrusted leaders can they bear to put up with for the next three years, and is there any point in trying to alleviate the pain with a touch of seasoning from new and untried ingredients? You pays your money, if you have any left, and you takes your choice, such as it is. And in the end, you are stuck with the old truism: whoever you vote for, a politician always gets in. Good luck.

Traffic is already an enormous problem in Bangalow, particularly along Granuaille Road where, we are told by one large food producer, he intends to send all his trucks. Another strong concern expressed by people living in the area was pollution of the creek on which they depend, pollution from sewage and run-off.

Bangalow’s future

Work with the Earth CO2 has reached 400 ppm in the atmosphere, the Great Barrier Reef is dying and we’ve just had the hottest autumn on record. You would think this would be the biggest election issue but only the Greens are focusing on this. We have to drastically lift our effort and make sure government takes much bigger steps rather than dawdling to disaster. Some good news last week was that in 2015 more investment went into renewables than fossil fuel electricity production.

The problem is that solar and wind currently only make four per cent of global electricity. We have to make sure our political leaders are working with the Earth, not against it. A good start would be to not vote for any party that provides fossil fuel subsidies or allows expansion of coal mines. Garth Luke Mullumbimby

The Bangalow Progress Association appreciates Chris Dobney’s coverage of their June 2 meeting (Echo, June 8) but must disagree with one of his assertions, namely that most people present agreed that ‘the worst thing that could happen is seeing Byron Bay Cookies produced in Melbourne’. This may well be Mr De Fina’s opinion but it is not that of our members. We are much more worried about Bangalow’s future, our concerns strongly backed by a recent broad-reaching survey of residents and visitors who want to see Bangalow’s rural heritage village character retained and enhanced, not compromised by another industrial park on its outskirts, twice the size of the current one. Survey respondents were quite clear in wanting Bangalow to keep its rural nature and surrounds and this development proposes more than just a food-processing plant

continued from page 13 contaminate aquifers. These wells are deep and encounter 10–15 aquifers that must be isolated. So drilling shallow wells in northen NSW encountering one or two aquifers should not be an issue. Please realise that locally sourced CSG as with any produce would have been better for the environment. So what is the fuss? The NSW ban on natural gas exploration is not small; it is big. The gas industry is getting huge abuse from the NSW Domgas users and unions desperately endeavouring to save up to 50,000 jobs. I can assure you that it is heart-wrenching telling workers that their job has been sent offshore. The chemicals found in shallow aquifers are fertilsers, herbicides and animal remains. Shallow aquifers in the northern river areas and generally across NSW are in poor condition, mainly due to poor wellbore construction. When drilling a water bore there is no requirement to isolate the gas and water zones. Some NSW agricultural water bores have been following gas for over 50 years. Don McMillan Brookfield Qld

Rocking results Anyone interested in seeing the results of placing rocks on a beach can go to Broken Head. Next to the main access path are several gabions. Till the recent rain event they were tucked directly against the dune. The high tide and rain combined to wash away the sand from behind these gabions and now they sit a metre away from the new

steep cliff face of the old dune. Our council will no doubt be happy that the gabions didn’t shift but now we have a new island. Next storm perhaps a few metres of sand will go. The rocks in the gabions will be safe. Ron Bay Suffolk Park

Bad egg joke Australians consumers looking to buy eggs will find supermarket shelves bare for at least the next couple of months, as retailers struggle to implement even the woefully inadequate protections of the new ‘free range’ regulations. Consumer affairs ministers around the country have agreed that factory farms can still call their products free range up to a density of 10,000 hens per hectare – allowing each bird just one square metre of space. Even this minimal new standard has apparently proven difficult for producers to meet, proving that ‘free range’ was always just a marketing slogan. The Model Code of Practice, published by the CSIRO, which set the limit at 1,500 hens per hectare, is apparently just a joke to the egg industry. Australians are already struggling with a barrage of misleading and vague labels on eggs, including ‘barn laid’, ‘free to roam’ and ‘cage-free’, all of which tell the consumer little about how the chickens were actually farmed. And let’s not forget that for each hen confined to a short, miserable life, a male chick has been killed by gassing, suffocation or being minced alive, as male babies are considered the ‘waste products’

of this industry. Don’t be fooled by cynical marketing slogans. The best way to save chickens and other animals from suffering for eggs, meat and dairy products is to go vegan today. Desmond Bellamy Special Projects Coordinator, PETA Australia Byron Bay

Mains in trouble I have read the discussion over the past years about the stormwater infiltration occurring in the Mullumbimby gravity mains. I worked for an earth-working company which was contracted to carry out repairs on the gravity mains on numerous occasions. I was part of the work team that carried out the work. The mains were approximately six metres deep. Their condition was very bad – cracks were visible and the earthenware was quite soft and obviously leaking. You would imagine the rest of the gravity mains would be in the same condition. Because of the depths the repairs carried out were very time-consuming. Byron Shire Council should look at trying to raise the Mullumbimby gravity mains system as to continually carry out repairs at this depth will cost a significant amount of ratepayers’ money. I have been told that BSC has a system in place at the Byron Industrial Estate called a vacuum system. This is a sealed system and the pipes don’t require fall, so it is a shallow system. BSC would have better represented ratepayers’ interests by investigating replacing the Mullumbimby gravity

Serious money Serious money has ridden into town, carried by a better class of people – those with access to the powers-that-be which can overrule all local objection. Ratepayers will bear the cost of trying to maintain the narrow Belongil Spit for a wealthy few who were aware of the danger to their investment when they purchased. West Byron development will proceed despite issues such as exacerbated traffic congestion, acid sulfate soil contamination, the overtaxing of the sewerage system and flooding and peat fire danger having been raised but not addressed, yet the impact of which will be suffered by the community. Now the face and nature of Bangalow is being compromised with tacky ‘donga’ developments underway, plans before Council for high-density units and megadevelopments proposed for each end of town. Again concerns about increased traffic and parking pressure, the flood affectedness of some of these developments, the overstraining of the sewerage system and the impact on the environment and the community are not being adequately assessed. What I object to most is that many of these proposals are submitted to Council by people who do not live in the area, have no vested interest in the long-term future of continued on page 17

COUNCIL'S DRAFT COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PLAN WILL PROTECT BYRON BAY AND RETAIN THE BEACH

Jonson St headland has caused realignment of beach at Belongil Potential high-tide line with future adaptive management CZMP proposes upgrading existing rock protection Likely 2050 erosion line without protection

series of hazard assessment reports between 2010 to 2013, the ﬁndings of which were endorsed by Council on 10 October 2013. The author Dean Patterson concludes “the impact of seawalls constructed along Belongil Spit has been relatively modest and local to date”. FACT - A nearly 1km 40 year old rock wall at Belongil has not destroyed the beach, but without it Belongil and its wetlands will be destroyed and inaccessible.

MYTH 2 - BELONGIL SHOULD NOT BE AN URBAN AREA FACT - Belongil is one of the oldest settlements in Byron Bay, subdivided circa 1883. FACT - The Belongil sand dunes have been dated as 5,000-6,000 years old.

MYTH 4 - ROCK WALLS ONLY PROTECT A FEW PROPERTIES FACT - There are 175 lots at Belongil, more properties than Wategos, and more than a dozen businesses. FACT - The most vulnerable are actually low lying properties that could be washed out in a breakthrough.

MYTH 5 - A NEW ROCK WALL IS BEING BUILT TO PROTECT PRIVATE PROPERTY IN BELONGIL FACT - Private properties are already protected by the existing rock wall, the only additional areas to be protected are public land.

Belongil erosion has not been caused by natural sand processes. The BMT

The electoral circus again: This guy could choose the next president – it could even be him!

ton could have 268 votes by winning the coastal states that Democrats usually win, and Trump could collect 267 from the pro-Republican middle and southern states – meaning no candidate has the magic 270. Johnson could also win Colorado, a pro-pot state, and make a deadlock even more likely.

And (it gets weirder) they must choose from the top three candidates, ie Clinton, Trump or Johnson. And this vote will be made by the Congress elected in November, so no-one knows how many Democrats or Republicans there’ll be in each state delegation. Given how much the Republican members hate Hillary Clinton and the fact that zero Democratic members would vote for Trump, they might just compromise on … Gary Johnson. The pot-loving dude who’s climbed the highest mountains on each of the seven continents (truly) and responded to Trump calling his rival Senator Cruz ‘a pussy’ by calling Trump ‘a pussy’. Just sayin’, Gary’s no dreamboat. And then there’s the possibility Bernie Sanders gets himself on the ballot in a few states, Vermont for example, and triggers the same deadlock, and then … well, all bets were already off, right?

Getting weirder

Wrong subs

Now Gary could take advice from his backers and hand over his crucial handful of votes to Clinton or Trump in exchange for … what? Making David Koch secretary of the treasury and Gary’s running mate William Weld vice-president (there is no law saying the prez and vice-prez must be from the same party), or something more vile and/or bizarre. But if the electoral college is deadlocked, the Constitution says the House of Reps has to decide and the decision will be made by each of the 50 states having just one vote. So California, with 53 members of the House, and Wyoming, with one, will each have one vote.

Meanwhile, we learned last week that the 12 French submarines Turnbull ordered, for $60 billion, are the wrong ones. According to the procoalition Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) last week, ‘the capabilities required for our future submarine would in many ways be better performed by nuclearpowered boats’. Turnbull & Co could point out that the very same poobahs at the ASPI said last year that people who argued we should have ‘gone nuclear’ were ‘hysterical’. Turnbull’s big fat business skills are not looking so good.

Phillip Frazer

According to all the latest polls, Gary Johnson is the choice of 11 per cent of Americans to be their next president, behind Hillary Clinton on 38 per cent and Donald Trump at 37 per cent. Gary is a former governor of New Mexico who is the presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, presenting himself as a sane alternative to Trump and a chilled-out alternative to Clinton. Libertarians are against government interference in our personal and business lives. In the US, their emphasis is on letting the ‘free market’ run the economy, which is why most American libertarians are – or wanna-be – rich business people. Johnson is a business dude who took time out from his job as CEO of a company called Cannabis Sativa Inc to run for president. The company creates products made from weed as increasingly liberal laws passed across the USA allow them to. So how come a candidate hardly anyone knows is already over ten per cent in the polls? Because Trump and Clinton turn so many voters off, and because many of Johnson’s policies appeal to Bernie Sanders’ voters, so he picks up followers from all three of them. And how come Johnson might get even higher in the polls very soon? Because Libertarianism’s richest backers are extremely rich: David Koch, net worth over $30 billion, was Libertarian candidate for vice-president in 1980, and is considering committing hundreds of millions of bucks from his own bank accounts and his pals’, to back Gary and his running mate William Weld.

Gary Johnson with a popular cash crop. Photo from A Libertarian Future interview http://bit.ly/garychoof

Weld is a rock-ribbed member of the American aristocracy and was governor of Massachusetts in the 1990s. If Johnson-Weld can get up to 15 per cent in the polls they will qualify to participate in the presidential candidates’ debates alongside Hillary and Donald, and if they can win just one state on election day (November 5), they could throw the election into new and uncharted waters.

Huge buts How could they win a state? Technically, Americans don’t directly elect the president – each state counts their citizens’ votes, and announces who won their state, meaning who got the most votes. Each state has a number of ‘electoral college’ votes equal to how many members they have in the Congress, and the candidate who gets 270 or more of these 538 votes becomes President, BUT… …the huge BUT this year is that if Johnson wins his ‘own’ state, New Mexico, he would have five electoral votes. It’s quite possible Clin-

Letters continued from page 14 our community and won’t be around to bear their eventual costs. It seems the nebulous promise of jobs and growth compels us to mess our own nest, but to invite a cuckoo in to do the job for us is a little dim. R Bekker Binna Burra

Don’t hurry

Many years ago I attended the scene of a fatal accident. A boy had run from behind a school bus and been struck by a car coming the other way. When I got there, the mother of the boy was sitting on the side of the road comforting the driver, who was so distraught he could not talk. He was not at fault in any way. He had been driving slowly but the boy had just run right in front of him. Though in no way to blame, I am sure that the driver carried that death with him for a long time (probably still hears the sound of the thud in his sleep). Think how you would feel if you were going too fast past that school bus stop or school crossing zone. Maybe you were a very busy parent picking up or dropping off your own children so you weren’t focusing on that child that ‘came out

A happy legacy from Nicholas Shand A long time ago in Mullumbimby, probably in a bar and almost certainly with a drink in his hand, a man called Nick had an idea. He imagined that within every normal bloke lay hidden an inner sportsman craving a day in the sun. He imagined the kind of sportsman that probably didn’t get picked for the first or maybe even the second team. This kind of sportsman may have preferred bars and ‘medicinal’ cannabis over an elitist life of perfect nutrition and exercise programs. He believed that there just might be enough of these ‘athletes’ to conjure up a competition… and he was right. I never met Nick and never will but I still remember the first time I met his competition. I bravely ventured west of the highway and was confronted by a daunting

sight. There were muscle tops and board shorts in colours that should never be mixed, an abundance of hair and a smell of fresh whisky. There were three generations limbering up with pipes of peace and Wild Turkey and I’m pretty certain the two guys in the brick shed were sharing a tooth. As I went out to the middle I knew that everyone could smell my fear. The wicket keeper had no shoes, wore dungarees and had more hair than I knew a head capable of. He looked like he ate raw kangaroo by the side of the road and he spoke an evolved strain of English that was only known to the people who lived between Mullumbimby and Main Arm. I survived 12 balls and was happy to be caught out for 10 and to be leaving the field alive. Since then I have been at

every game. Nick was right – I’m not going to get picked for the first or second team but I love this comp. I’ve been bowled out, caught out, run out and am known to get a Golden Duck once in a while. I’ve also hit sixes (only three), taken wickets and catches and lifted the trophy more than once. Nick has given me my day in the sun and it feels fantastic. What Nick may or may not have foreseen is the ‘what happened next’. For the first time since moving to Byron Shire I was no longer talking to someone who was buying or selling. These were the real people of the shire and they weren’t interested in anyone’s business cards… unless you’re selling organic veggie burgers with all profits going to Sea Shepherd. This comp is more than what it pretends to be. It’s a

of nowhere’. You may even be at fault if you park dangerously around schools and school bus zones. (Take note frequenters of Federal.) Speaking of Federal, between 8–9am and 3 and 4 in the afternoon there are

school buses coming and going and kids crossing the road. Yet people fly down the road without a care, as well as engaging in all kinds of careless driving and parking that compromises the safety of our children.

Imagine how you would feel if you were to blame. Don’t be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry around schools or school bus zones. Keith Wise Bexhill

community. I’ve made good friends, even been to the wake of a friend who I only ever met on the oval. I even danced with the hairy, shoeless, kangaroo-eating farmer that kept wicket. I get excited when I think of this comp and I get excited when I meet the other players, whether in a cafe, at a festival or at the school play. We always spot each other and we always grin like the big kids that we are because we know that we’re involved in something utterly good.

It’s now eight years since I’ve been playing and the opponents still line up, licking their lips, eager to take my cheap wicket again. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I know that after the game we’ll have a beer and tease each other and every now again I get to brag (not too often, mind you). These are my mates, this is real and this is where lifelong friendships are made. Thanks Nick – we all owe you one. Ashley Burke-Smith Byron Bay

Property insider Ace Body Corporate Management (Ace) is the largest 100 per cent Australianowned strata-management company and is urging all Australian apartment and unit owners to ask whether their community has emergency funds available to deal with the fallout of wild weather. These calls come from concerned strata-property leaders after wild weather on the east coast has been met with the likelihood that thousands will not be covered under their insurance. Ace CEO Stephen Raff says, ‘As is likely to happen in this case, when the number of claims is in the tens of thousands, it often takes a significant time for insurance claims to be processed, and insufficient availability of contractors leaves property owners exposed.’ ‘In that lead time, thousands of owners will need financial support to maintain their dayto-day life and that’s where the sinking fund helps.’ Most legislation around

Australia has provisions to allow maintenance funds to be accessed for emergencies. Mr Raff says the unfortunate scenario is that it’s not mandatory for strata communities to allocate money for maintenance/sinking plans and funds, and many affected owners in New South Wales will not have access to such funds. ‘Despite the lack of urgency shown by regulators to ensure this critically important measure is made mandatory, we’re calling on all strata communities in New South Wales to immediately consider the value of setting up a sinking plan and fund for their protection.’ Local architect Nathan Stroud (pictured right) of Metamorphouse is thrilled with their win at that HIA awards. They took out first prize for best custom-build home under $300,000 in the northern rivers and they were also NSW finalists for the best custom-built home under $600,000.

home buyers with a 50 per cent reduction in the stamp duty on a purchase of a residential property costing less than $1 million and provide the ability to pay the stamp duty over time.’

The Real Estate Institute of NSW is going into bat for first-home buyers. REINSW president John Cunningham said that while record low interest rates sound attractive to consumers the state government has failed firsthome buyers. The Reserve Bank of Australia has kept interest rates steady at 1.75 per cent at its June 2016 meeting following a cut of 25 basis points last month. ‘We call on the NSW government to put the interests of first-home buyers at the top of its agenda and make amendments to stamp duty for first homebuyers,’ Mr Cunningham said. ‘REINSW asks the NSW government to provide first-

Speaking of first-home owners: The government has some tips for buying your first home on their smart money website https://www.moneysmart.gov. au/life-events-and-you/lifeevents/buying-a-home. You are ready to become a homeowner if you have the following things in place: A substantial deposit – The bigger the better when you’re saving for a home. A deposit of 20 per cent of the purchase price plus enough to cover costs is ideal. The bigger your deposit, the lower your loan to value ratio (LVR). This is the amount of the loan divided by the purchase price (or appraised value) of the property. If your LVR is higher than 80 per cent, you will need to pay lender’s

Metamorphouse's award winning home mortgage insurance, and the lender could charge you a higher interest rate. Avoid these extra costs by saving a bigger deposit to lower your LVR. A regular savings habit – A history of regular savings in your bank account and a solid track record of employment will make it easier for you to get a home loan. Pre-approval for a loan – Compare a few different loans before you decide. Ask your lender for a key facts sheet on each home loan so you can compare more easily. Once you choose the loan and have been pre-approved you’ll know what the repayments

will be and how much you can afford to spend on a property. Some additional savings – These will act as a buffer if interest rates rise and your repayments increase. Alternatively, choose a loan that allows extra repayments so that you can build a buffer early on.

DO I HAVE A CAVEATABLE INTEREST?

All too often, people who are owed money think they have an automatic right to lodge a caveat over property. The simple answer is NO, you don’t. To have a caveatable interest, you must have a direct interest in the property, in law or in equity which currently exists. A caveat is effective from the time of lodgement and warns the registered owner, and all people who might deal in good faith with the Certiﬁcate of Title, that the caveator claims an interest. A caveat remains effective until it is withdrawn, removed or otherwise extinguished. So long as a caveat remains in force, the Registrar-General is prohibited from registering any dealings, unless the caveat itself permits the registration. A caveat lodged without merit may result in the caveator being liable to pay compensation to any person who suffers a loss as a consequence of the ill-founded caveat. It is not easy to determine whether you have a direct interest in a property and therefore it is important to seek legal advice before lodging a caveat.

The Good Life Apron Ties That Bind Story and photo: Vivienne Pearson It seems Byron is a shire of apron lovers. We had a great response to last week’s story about aprons, including a phone call from Toots Dunn, an 81-year-young lifelong Byron Bay resident (who still teaches tap-dancing!). Vivienne Pearson, the author of the story, met up with Toots to accept the gift of a new apron. ‘I loved the story and remembered I had this apron in my cupboard,’ says Toots. Vivienne is delighted with her new pinny,

Vivienne tries out her new apron in Toots’ kitchen including the discovery of the genius idea of having a hand-towel sewn in at the waist. ‘I’m a great one for wiping my hands on my apron,’ says Vivienne, ‘so this is a perfect addition to my apron repertoire.’

Love Food, Save Money – Free cooking workshops Are you a family of food lovers and keen to save up to $1,000 a year? A free cooking workshop will be held in Byron Bay on 23 June to help busy parents save money and waste less food. In last week’s paper, we heard from Alison Drover, the host of the workshop, about the psychology and cost of food waste. ‘This workshop will provide practical tools and cooking demonstrations on making the most of your food, menu plans for healthy, nutritious family meals, clever storage ideas and creative cookery with leftovers’, said Linda Tohver, education coordinator for NE Waste. Alison will equip participants to save money by reducing their food waste effectively and efficiently while enjoying healthy, nutritious family meals. All participants will enjoy taste testings of Alison’s delicious creations, as well as a free recipe book and leftovers storage container. The workshop is coordinated by North East Waste and Byron Shire Council supported by the Environmental Trust as part of the NSW EPA’s Waste Less Recycle More initiative, funded from the waste levy.

Tarra Martel, Tweed Shire Council and Linda Tohver, NE Waste enjoy Alison Drover’s leftover makeovers at a love food (hate waste) save money workshop Q The workshop will be held

6.30–9.00pm on Thursday 23 June at the Byron Community Centre. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Go to the North East Waste website: newaste. org.au or contact Linda Tohver on 0427 770 198.

Take the ‘L’ out of flood; it’s all about the food Story and photo: Vivienne Pearson

Emma-Lee and Chris say cheers! Do you have a ‘pep-up’ of choice when needing a dose of euphoria, or before a night out? I’m sure lots of substances come to mind, but did chocolate feature on your list? A new trend, coming out of Europe, is using cacao, the base ingredient in chocolate, as a pep-up. Entire dance parties are now reportedly fuelled on cacao. Thanks to Puremelt Chocolate, Mullumbimby’s Chocolate Lounge, it’s available for you to try! One part of the trend is snorting cacao. Yep, you read that right – inhaling cacao powder up the nose. This is not what’s available – Sarah Wheeler, owner of Puremelt, is no proponent of snorting, exclaiming: ‘What a waste, when it tastes so good!’ So, it’s drinking all the way, and what a pleasure it is. Sarah’s Elixir Shots are simply delicious! Served looking like a generous shot of espresso coffee, the base of the drink is Sarah’s house-made cacao syrup blended with a host of spices: cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, black pepper, oil of orange and coconut nectar. ‘We add the nectar as it is simply too bitter without it,’ says Sarah. Only a small amount is used and there is no way the shot would be

described as sweet. The way I describe it is warming, both temperatureand taste-wise. The shot is served warm and the spices create a flavourful hit followed by lingering warmth. The cardamom, cinnamon and orange are the dominant notes. Optional extras are cayenne (for those who like an additional warmth), and coconut milk (served on top, making it look similar to a macchiato coffee). Tasting alongside me, popping in from their office nextdoor, were Chris Deckker and Emma-Lee Luther, from UPLIFT. Emma, sporting a serious case of jetlag, was impressed by the positive effect the elixir had on her. ‘Thank you!’ she said to Sarah, describing feeling more alert with a slight euphoria. A cacao elixir shot is perfect as a simple winter warmer, for a pep-up before a night out, or simply if you want to try a European trend without the airfare. Q Cacao Elixir is sold by the shot or bottle at Puremelt Chocolate Lounge (2/53 Stuart Street, Mullumbimby) – open MonThurs 7am–5.30pm, Fri/ Sat to 8.30pm and Sun 8am–2pm.

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

Most of us were affected by the recent ‘ECL’ (that’s East Coast Low for those more into food than weather), but few more than those in Billunudgel, who experienced its worst flood since 2005. I visited to check out how the food businesses in town fared. Billi Indian Restaurant consider themselves fortunate that the water stopped rising before it came inside, especially as they have recently redecorated. The outside area flooded, but only after staff and customers had heeded warnings to evacuate. Also fortunate were other businesses on slightly higher ground – those in the Industrial Estate, and the Humble Pie Garden Café (though, unsurprisingly they had a fair bit of foliage debris). The Bilinudgel Hotel was not so lucky. By 10.30pm on the Saturday (4 June), the water was a foot high indoors. It fell as quickly as it rose though, so was down and out by 2.30am. ‘It was not too bad in the scheme of things,’ says manager Craig Barnham. Having seen a few floods in their time, the staff and customers knew what had to be done. ‘The boys here all chipped in to lift the pool table up onto some kegs,’ says Craig nonchalantly. This ‘just get it done’ spirit continued into Sunday morning for the cleanup. A relative newcomer to the area, Michael Langtry of New World Foods (with offices in the centre of town), was impressed as he watched people arrive with shovels, brooms and mops. ‘They just turned up and knew exactly what to

do,’ he recounts. This response doesn’t surprise local stalwart Wally Walsh, who has lived in Billinudgel for the better part of 70 years. ‘We all get on well, and help each other out,’ is his succinct description. This was so much so that the pub was open on the Sunday and The Billinudgel Store from Monday. ‘A lot of people were surprised so see us open,’ says Jim Hedditch, from the Store. By the time I visited, nearly a week later, there was no sign of water; only bright sunshine, the clink of glasses on the pub’s verandah, green oasis calm at Humble Pie, and a queue of people in the Store. That evening, as the winter chill took hold (thankfully without any rain), diners expressed their gratitude for Billi Indian’s bright lights, open fire, outdoor heater and warm food.

(FEAR OF MISSING THE SKA ORCHESTRA!) THE MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA ARE AMAZING. PROVIDING H I G H - O C TA N E PERFORMANCE T H AT C A N O N LY BE DESCRIBED AS E U P H O R I C . L E D BY T H E E N I G M AT I C NICKY BOMBA, AND WITH A BRAND-NEW ALBUM SIERRA-KILOA L P H A O U T N O W, T H I S I S O N E G I G YO U DON’ T WANT TO MISS! MR BOMBA HAD A Q U I C K C H AT W I T H THE ECHO ABOUT THE UPCOMING PERFORMANCE!

How many of you in the Ska Orchestra? It ranges from around 20–35 depending on where we are playing… and budget… and sometimes stage size! It’s basically a cruise liner of musicians. How does a person become part of the MSO? Are you often canvassing for new players or knocking people back? Well the original gig we did in 2003 as a celebration of ska included most of the peeps in the Melbourne ska reggae scene at the time. Around half of that team still form the core of the MSO today. There’s no real audition process; it’s an organic thing where, if someone can’t make it, we look at our pool of players available and when we’ve exhausted that we get recommendations. The pool sits at around 45 at the moment. One big happy family really. We do have many requests for people to join and we usually get their deets. You never know. How do you manage touring? The travel and accommodation must be challenging at times! It’s a ramshackle train that threatens to fall off the tracks… but never does! Essentially we’ve built up a solid team over the years with our own kooky

system that works for us. I wouldn’t use it as a template to run a country but there’s definitely an underlying theme of fairness, fun and efficiency. This bus has to run on the smell of an oily rag for now but everyone seems to get it. There is a lot of friendship and respect within the band and a genuine love for the music we’re making and what we’re achieving. The only real problem is with accommodation and the snoring factor. We’re at present seeking an earplug endorsement to sort out that drama… What was the concept for your new album Sierra-Kilo-Alpha?

characteristic of a SKA Orchestra show? Every show is a mission to take the crowd on a real journey using the full palette of the orchestra. Everyone onstage understands that we’re lucky to be playing the music we love, music we’ve written and music that moves. Fun is a major factor, connecting with the audience so they feel genuinely inspired by the community event (gig) and performing our own brand of ska/reggae that has a fresh wave. We almost demand people walk away feeling positive,uplifted and smiling. How do you write the album?

We wanted to take the music to an intergalactic zone! It’s always a blast when we get to design our album art and this concept had been brewing for a while… interplanetary journeys, new discoveries, uncharted parts of the universe etc, matching what we’re trying to do with the genre. There is a lot of media coverage on space frontier and I’m genuinely excited at the mysteries before us. The 3D concept (with the glasses supplied) was a further development that really gave the whole presentation an international quality. The fantastic reaction to the presentation has been heartwarming.

It’s very much a community effort in that anyone can contribute to the writing pool of songs when we are in that mode. Some may bring complete tunes, totally orchestrated, others may send an mp3 file recorded on a phone in a toilet. The initial seeds are then put on a shortlist for more development, collaborations, lyric writing, etc. We always leave 20 per cent of work to be done in the studio at recording time (grooves, tempos, small arrangement changes) so there is a freshness and a window for magic to happen. We ended up recording 23 songs when we only needed 12 or so. Lots of amazing musicians in this band.

What do you think is the defining

What about rehearsing for

recording, or for touring? Because of the member count in this band, getting together can be problematic so we do as much homework beforehand so that when we rehearse (usually for an upcoming tour) it is quick and efficient. The main expense is the catering bill! It’s amazing how organised a group of musicians can be if there is a meal provided… and drinks… and… As far as recording is concerned, there are smaller group sessions to knock the songs into some kind of template shape. It’s best to leave the full orchestra excitement for the studio. What should we expect for the show in Mullumbimby? Mullumbimby has always been a favourite touring spot so playing there with the orchestra is a real buzz. The hall is perfectly suited for the community event vibe that our gigs are so I’m expecting an electric energy in the room. We’ve got some special things planned, lots of fun with the crowd, new tunes… and we’re currently negotiating with the local council about how we’re going to land the parachuting trombonists… See you all on the dancefloor. Bless! Saturday 25 June at the Civic Hall in Mullumbimby. Doors at 7pm. Tickets from redsquaremusic.com.au.

THE POWER OF BEING YOU

There is a bloke in Mullumbimby whom I adore. I don’t know him, I don’t even know his name, but when I see him I feel this huge surge of happiness. I have never seen a person more comfortable with who they are. Every time I see him I am reminded of how wonderful it is to be exactly who you are. It shouldn’t be that hard, but in a society that smashes difference into sameness, that marginalises, taunts, victimises and ridicules, I am humbled by how spectacular and inspiring that particular

type of courage is. The Just Being You courage. Not the You that You are supposed to present for social acceptability, but the kooky, strange, unusual You that you really are. It sometimes makes me wonder who I would be if I didn’t care what other people thought of me. If I didn’t need to be liked. If I had grown up in a society where I didn’t seek the approval of people I would never meet. What would any of us look like if we no longer acquiesced to judgment? This man is my new

guru. I have seen him for years. You can’t not notice him. From the waist up he’s any regular bloke. Could be a landscaper, or a road worker. I sometimes see him in a hi-vis vest. Or a tight workman’s shirt. He often wears regulation bloke stubbies. But he loves stockings. The sensuality of the nylon caressing his man legs. Sometimes he’ll wear them under his stubbies, or he’ll pull them up over the top. He doesn’t wear stilettos. He’s a practical type of bloke. Probably doing some yard work. So he wears boots. Workboots. The other day I was rushing around town, stressed off my nut, and I saw him. I was so moved I almost cried. He was rushing towards the hardware store and peeking out from his shorts were very sexy white suspenders holding up some delicate lacy bridal stockings. How can you not love that? He’s not hiding his love of lingerie behind closed doors like it’s shameful, or worried that it will make his masculinity questionable. He wears his

After a wildly successful year in 2015 on the back of his awardwinning Double Live Set album, Aussie acoustic bluesmaster Lloyd Spiegel is headed back on the road for his first solo tour in seven years. This tour celebrates the launch

lingerie on the street. He redefines it. And it doesn’t actually look weird. It suits him. He’s not trying to make a statement. He’s just going about his day being who he is. I thank god he lives here. I would hate to think of the carloads of sexually repressed bogans that might vilify or cause him harm. A few weeks ago I walked through Perth late at night with a 6-foot-6 woman who would describe herself as ‘transitioning’. Adele was striking. In her former struggle with her masculinity she’d been a body builder. Although the hormones had softened her she still had a sense of extreme physical power. Every surface of her body was covered in tattoos – even her neck. She wore a short skirt, a loose-fitting shirt, ripped fishnet stockings and Docs. She played in a metal band. Her hair was long and luscious and she wore her lips fire-engine red. The 20-minute walk to her car was terrifying. I could sense the danger everywhere. As we weaved through the of Spiegel’s new Cole Clark signature model guitar – an instrument designed with these new solo shows in mind. Spiegel has worked alongside Cole Clark Guitars for the past 15 years and has had a hand in every advancement in technology and design at the company in that time. ‘I received the honour of my first signature guitar in 2012,’ says Lloyd. ‘It served me well, but now that I’m returning to solo performing I needed something different to evolve with.

midnight crew of Saturday night clubbers pouring onto the streets, probably around the same age as Adele, I could hear the comments. These were comments Adele was meant to hear. It was like pushing against a tide of drunken sameness. Here they were, the ugly arbiters of difference. As we passed, and just out of earshot, we hear, ‘Oh my God, what the fuck is that?’ or ‘Fucking hell, what an ugly slut’ (I think that might have been meant for me). The abuse and the judgment were unending. Everyone seemed to think that someone else’s life choices were part of their concern. I don’t get it. Adele could have been walking past muttering, ‘You boring same-same unchallenging fucks’. Or words to that effect. But I guess when you are outside the dominant paradigm, when you live your life as the ‘other’, you just have to find a way to live with it without it crushing your spirit. How does a person keep loving themselves when this happens?

It was so painful to walk beside her. These were under-25s. Young people who really should know a lot better. Haven’t things changed? You could feel the potential for violence. I asked her if it ever frightened her. If they ever tried to hurt her physically. Adele just smiled with those big generous red lips and said softly, ‘I can still handle myself. I don’t think any of them want the humiliation of being beaten up by me.’ Wow! What a girl. What a braveheart. I would be so proud to call her my daughter. And you know what, even though it was terrifying, it was strangely exhilarating to walk beside a woman so much bigger than I (it rarely happens). Like Amazonian Warriors. Battling bigotry one bogan at a time. I still don’t get it, though. Why is someone being themselves such a threat? Why is it still amazing to see someone comfortable with themselves. It shouldn’t be ‘brave’. But it is. We’ve still got a long way to go on the walk to acceptance.

and Europe in his younger years, accompanied by his venerable CONT. FROM p33 Gibson guitar.

THE ROLL OF THE DICE AND THE CUT OF YOUR JIB

In the tiny town of Candelo in the Bega Valley sits a man who’s lived a thousand lives, and he’s opened his windows and doors to sing you some songs. Michael Menager’s sophomore studio album Not the Express is about the roll of the dice, the cut of your jib and the fork in the road. With an alt-country feel and a folk ethos, Not the Express exudes pure Americana. There’s the whispered ghost-like epiphany of the opening track Unfamiliar Place with lyrics right on the mark like a classic Leonard Cohen: ‘I had power, I had pull, and everything was well on course’; to the vintage Cat Stevens flavour of Take to Wing, a heartfelt strippedback song Menager wrote about losing his partner of many years. Born in Southern California to migrant parents − a northern Italian mother who passed along her cooking skills, and a French Canadian father who had a fine voice − Menager sang his way through coffee houses and bars in various parts of the States

Nowadays he lives on a community farm on the outskirts of Candelo, a town touted by The Australian newspaper as a ‘rock’n’roll enclave’. So lay a nickel on the track, press your ear to the rail and, as Michael Menager wanders into the distance on the way down the line to his next destination, you’ll be much richer for having met him. See you down there at the station. The train arrives on Saturday 18 in Mullum at Lulu’s Cafe, Monday at Byron Fresh and at The Rails in Byron on Tuesday.

Thus begins the musical Return to the Forbidden Planet. All the rock favourites are there, woven cleverly into the plot and the dialogue, with Good Vibrations, Young Girl, Who’s Sorry Now and of course Great Balls of Fire as highlights. The spaceship is drawn to the Forbidden Planet occupied by the mad scientist Prospero (Graeme Speed) and his beautiful daughter Miranda (Jamaika Smith). They come aboard the repaired Starship and it takes off. Fourteen-year-old Jamaika Smith has recently been awarded a place in a prestigious two-week voice clinic in Los Angeles. A love triangle develops between Miranda, the ship’s Captain Tempest (Brian Pamphilon) and the cook, Cookie (Trevor Stone).

This leads into favourites Shakin’ All Over, Only the Lonely and She’s Not There. The ship is under threat once again, this time from a fearsome space monster. Prospero saves the situation as the Forbidden Planet disintegrates. Gloria, Prospero’s devious wife, long ago left Miranda with him on the Forbidden Planet. It is discovered that the science officer on the Starship (Yvonne Lingua) is really Gloria and the crew exposes her in the song bearing her name. She attempts to take over the ship. Return to the Forbidden Planet has fun, humour, romance, treachery and intrigue. But above all it is about the music! Directed by Clem and Shelly Halpin, who were responsible for last year’s Oliver, Return to the Forbidden Planet will be staged at the Players Theatre from 17 June till 3 July. Evening performances start at 8pm and matinees at 2pm. Book online at www.ballinaplayers. com or at Just Funkin Music, 6686 2440.

ARIES: The Aries tendency to contrariness could work

s r a t S with Lilith This week’s cosmic cocktail of Mercury/Sun/ Venus in Gemini effervesces with information, ideas and gossip, shaken and stirred by Neptune retrograde. Confusing? Absolutely. But fun as well…

TAURUS: Get the feeling this week’s overload of conflicting opinions is creating a whole new unnecessary slew of pop-up problems? You’re not wrong. If people’s moods drain or exasperate, then engage your favourite acronym: K.I.S.S and keep it simple, sweetheart. Beneath all the brouhaha improvements are brewing, and beginning to show results.

GEMINI: Busy, buzzy newsmonger Mercury joining the Sun and Venus in Gemini sends your attention in a dozen different directions at once. Sure, you’re the zodiac’s number-one multitaskers, but this week over-stimulation could mean under-achieving. Wherever you apply steady, continuous focus, success will follow. Don’t abandon true friends for new friends.

in your favour this week if you zip the lip and listen up while everyone else is sounding off. The less said the better, because uttering without editing could ruffle feathers preferably left undisturbed. Most pleasurable and profitable activities? Practical projects, rejigging something old into something new.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s merry Mercurian medicine is just your cup of fun, adding jazzy pep to your step with its lively networking, sparkle and spin. You’re ready for adventure, for reinventing yourself, for stepping up to another level and evolutionary opportunities are all around you. But timing is key; keep it sensitive and deft.

CAPRICORN: Current astral configurations suggest that this week’s engaging, though not necessarily easy, task is rather than reject what you don’t agree with, taking the radical step of including it in your world view. Going even further than respecting differences, to celebrating them. Tapping into those reserves of resilience you weren’t even aware of…

LEO: During this mega-chatty week your challenge is to listen, majesties – even if you don’t agree. Especially then, because everything in your world is speaking to you. Want to make changes? Then you’ll need to look very carefully before you leap. Plus you may have to cut back a bit on the attitude. VIRGO: This week tests whether you’ve been able to turn recent irritating grit into a pearl of wisdom and expertise. Clue: your ruling planet Mercury’s move to the sign of irresistible eloquence suggests roaring success. Even if this artwork hasn’t yet quite met your exacting standards, celebrate your progress so far, Virgoans. LIBRA: As this week takes its finger off the pause button and hits play, there’s so much to do, so many options, and of course the perennial Libran dilemma of what to choose. With the memosphere positively pulsating with snap-crackle-pop interactions, pay attention to the details in all information exchanges.

CANCER: If the recent moon wobble set family, work or social dynamics trembling, Mercury’s equipped you with splendid new tools for resolving communication blocks. In the midst of this week’s outer cacophony and white noise, consult your inner guidance. Remember Cancerian Frida Kahlo’s advice: Nothing is worth more than laughter…

SCORPIO: Scorpios are ace renovators, and this week’s a fertile vortex of change. What needs a makeover: Finances? Partnership parameters? Workplace agreements? Go for it. If late-week Scorpio moon provokes awkward conversations because you’re taking things seriously and others don’t seem to be, tune into what communication’s effective and which is missing the mark.

GETTING IN CHARACTER

Could you tell me how you devised your character creation? I devised Character Creation in 2000 from all my acquired knowledge from teaching acting to both actors and for personal development for over 25 years. I was asked by an actor living in the area if I could teach the fundamentals of Character Analysis and it evolved from there. I had always had an idea of how to teach it in perhaps a more accessible format than how I was taught it at Drama Centre, which was regimented and rather dogmatic. What are the key mistakes people make in writing or performing character? Mostly that people don’t make distinction in their characters; they do a variation of the same thing. Initially this may appear to be unique and interesting and then you see the same actor

DAVID KAS – WAVERING RADIANCE

The Lone Goat is delighted to bring you this solo exhibition by David Kas. David graduated from the National Art School in 1985 and has

will show recent his paintings that celebrate the mysticism of the landscape. With elements of surrealism and abstraction, his textured artworks evoke the sublime and etheric nature of the landscape, the spirit concealed in matter. ‘Mystics of all ages have glimpsed a “spiritual spectrum” behind the physical spectrum, and even though we have a familiarity with the landscape, the natural environment can also be alien, mysterious and unfathomable,’ says David. The show opens this Friday at 6pm and runs until 29 June.

MUSICAL PORTRAITS

AQUARIUS: This week of exciting exchanges engages your wild, pioneering, progressive, community-minded side – though, as always, conditions apply. Which, with a Neptunian stew of confusion operating are: Embrace the unexpected. Dance with contradictions. Don’t invest too much expectation in promises, or be attached to outcomes – just enjoy the play of each day.

PISCES: Your planetary ruler Neptune retrograding in Pisces till mid-November is a cycle of dynamic serenity when miracles are ripe to be invited in – a time when cultivation is rewarded by manifestation. That’s the long-term prediction. Meanwhile, this week gives you permission to slow down and reconnect with your dearest dreams.

cinema Reviews

ENTERTAINMENT BY JOHN CAMPBELL

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE

Boy was my favourite film of 2011 and, after the uproarious undead spoof of What We Do in the Shadows (2014), Taika Waititi has now come up with another absolute gem. Waititi would probably love to be offered a big-budget gig in Hollywood, but at what price to his integrity and individuality? He wouldn’t be the first director to be emasculated by the machine. As in Boy this story is set in a remote area of New Zealand. Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison), a troubled and troublesome ward of the state, has been left in the care of Hector and Bella Faulkner (Sam Neill and Rima Te Wiata). The kid, a wannabe gangsta rapper, is not happy about the situation, but is beginning to adjust to his new circumstances when an unforeseen event threatens to have him returned to juvenile detention. He and Hector go bush to escape the authorities, crossing miles of rugged countryside, like migrating African wildebeeste – hence the title (the dialogue is rich in such plays on words – there’s also a goodie to

do with Caucasian). It’s a buddy movie, when reduced to its basics, as the old man and young boy come together through adversity, learning to respect and love each other, despite their differences. In between (the screenplay, written by Waititi, based on Barry Crump’s novel, is divided into a dozen chapters) they have to deal with a relentless and Dickensian child-welfare officer (Rachel House), a bunch of yahoos after the reward money that has been offered for anyone who can locate Hector and Ricky, and the challenges of life on the run, including a ferocious wild boar and not having any toilet paper. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments as well ones of deep poignancy and – in case you’re a bit squeamish – a couple of scenes of bloody but not gratuitous violence. Waititi’s sense of place and its influence on character is present throughout a narrative that grips tighter as it heads towards an ending that is briefly reminiscent of Thelma And Louise. Unmissable.

THE CONJURING 2: THE ENFIELD CASE

Honestly, I don’t know why anybody would want to live in any dwelling that has a basement (or an attic, for that matter). Bad stuff always happens in them… But they’re essential in a haunted-house movie, and this one is a beauty. Ed and Lorraine Warren were real-life demonologists, paranormal investigators, ghost busters – call them what you will and dismiss them if logic is your guiding star. But they were involved in the case that led to the filming of The Amityville Horro (1979), a classic of the genre, and the spooky activities in a Rhode Island farmhouse that led to the first Conjuring film (2013) – which was also terrific. Again they are played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, with James Wan once more at the helm. The location has moved to Enfield (UK), 1977, where, in another recorded incident, a family was being terrorised by a malevolent spirit. Wan understands exactly which buttons to press and, more important, when to press them to scare the living daylights out of you. There is not a door that doesn’t creak, a room without a horribly dark corner or a mirror in which you know for good and certain that a terrifying apparition will suddenly appear. But that’s the thing with the horror flick – being formulaic is a strength rather than a weakness. We sit there waiting to be scared and lap up the cues as they are presented to us. Wan and his cinematographer, Don Burgess, are a little more sophisticated than your average schlock filmmakers, showing great attention to detail and creating truly unnerving atmospherics with some beautiful tracking shots. The house itself, if the photographs shown during the end credits are anything to go by, has been meticulously recreated, while the cold and wet outside environment and sombre palette of greys and greens create an atmosphere of deep dread. The undercurrent of Christianity (as it was in The Exorcist) is hard to swallow, but that was the Warrens’ raison d’etre, so we shouldn’t grumble.

North Coast news daily:

Byron Bay Milli wins the world They know all about Milli McCourt in California since the Byron Bay lass left there with a world title under her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) belt. As she is just 15 years of age, what makes Milli’s win even more impressive is the fact that BJJ is the biggest growing sport in the world. The IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) world title is the highest achievement in the sport, with competitors from all over the planet coming to test their skills against the best of the best. The event was held at Walter Pyramid, at Long Beach State University, from 2 till 5 June, and Milli is the first person to represent Australia at this level, so bringing home the gold is almost unbelievable. McCourt started training to compete in this event 12 months ago and it was a long and hard path of training at least twice for up to six days a week. Milli’s training includes running, crossfit, drills, BJJ sparring, grappling, and working on the specific techniques she would use at this event. Milli says that when she first started training she was

Sunday’s Brunswick Valley Bulldogs v Ballina Bombers clash was footy at its glorious best. Parents huddled in tight packs under marquees and goal umpires shivered as thirty Under-11s looking like drowned rats chased a slippery pigskin in the driving rain and howling wind. It was classic old-school footy with the Bombers adapting best, dominating centre clearances, kicking direct and getting numbers when the ball hit the deck. For the Bulldogs Joel Liljeqvist was simply out-

just 12 years old. ‘I had the dream of becoming the IBJJF Champion of the World,’ she says. ‘I worked so hard and made so many sacrifices to achieve this goal. Standing there with the referee holding my arm in the air was the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced.’

The Sunday hit-around in the name of Shand Brian Mollet

his level of skill. With his untimely passing, various of his friends decided that a social cricket competition would be a good way to remember the articulate larrikin who did so much for the Shire. The Sunday hit-around that still bears his name is now in its 19th year and still caters to the many who, faced with a week of drudgery in support of themselves and their families, can get through it all so long as they know they can still have a hit on the weekend. Game one for 2016 kicked off on Sunday with Lomath Oval dank and greasy as a discarded kebab and the drizzle swirling in from the southeast dampening everything but the enthusiasm of the hardy sons of the soil from Left Bank and the gogetting sophisticates of Byron, the Full-Tossers. Jamie from Byron won the toss and gamely led his charges into the murk of the field, trusting the new ball to John, whose inner fires are more than sufficient to overcome anything local conditions might serve up. In the first over, Gaz clipped a stinging

standing, inspiring his teammates with desperate chases, crunching tackles and hard ball gets through four quarters of total commitment. Jimmy Trevaskis marshalled the Doggies’ defence, manning up and playing tight. Charlie McAllister burrowed under packs and Ethan Johnston contested strongly against the Bombers tall timber.

Alana and Alex rep the far north coast Gymnastics Australia recently staged the 2016 Australian Championships at Hisense Arena in Melbourne. The event was billed as two weeks of superhuman feats, as the top gymnasts from each state and territory compete for the title of 2016 Australian Champion with hundreds of athletes competing.

Locals Alana Rojo of Federal and Alex Fraser of Nashua competed as a duo in the event.

Wickets fell to Jebez, Kyle and Jamie as the Bankers struggled to pierce the slushy outfield, the only exception being Rob (17 n/o) who made light of the heavy conditions. The invisible committee in the persons of Merlin the mysterious and the unseen adjudicator called stumps when Blake’s bat slipped from his hands and nearly decapitated Russell umpiring at square leg, but some of the cobwebs of a long off-season were worked off and, if enthusiasm is a measure of the state of the Shand series, then our sporting legacy is in good hands. If the rain lets up next week the grizzled veterans of the Main Arm autonomous cricket collective take on the sand-encrusted surf dudes the Suffolk Swingers, a prospect that has local sports aficionados twitching with anticipation.

As Darren Coyne reports on Echonetdaily (echo.net.au/ bundjalung-elder-wrongfully-arrested-on-eve-of-gathering), the cops picked up Bundjalung elder Lewis Walker on an ‘outstanding warrant’, only to find out later they had the wrong man. This led Aboriginal Legal Service solicitor Binnie O’Dwyer, who represented Mr Walker in court, to say it was a classic case of police ‘acting like cowboys with the attitude any black will do’. We suspect it might have been a way to get Mr Walker out of the way while other police hung about his
