PM on north coast whistle stop

PM Julia Gillard, along with Richmond MP Justine Elliot (pictured right), spent Friday in Byron Shire, first inspecting the new Bangalow highway upgrade and then visiting Bangalow primary school staff and students. And the hard hats were certainly needed against the dross as interstate reporters tried to draw out more leadership speculation. Photo Jeff ‘Harder Than News Ltd’ Dawson Hans Lovejoy

Australian prime minister Julia Gillard visited Byron Shire last Friday as part of a north coast tour which also included the announcement that Murwillumbah will be the first north coast town to receive the National Broadband Network (NBN) fibre optic connection planned for 2015 and 2016.

First stop was the inspection of the Pacific Highway upgrade near Bangalow, where contractors Baulderstone Pty Ltd have employed 80 workers since mid last year to work on the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale section.

At approximately 17 kilometres in length, it will start at the northern end of the Ballina bypass at Ross Lane and extend to the Ewingsdale interchange.

This Week @ Lightforce iPad Minis • iPad Retina Displays & 21.5” iMacs: In Stock

The total cost is $862 million, with the feds contributing $566.1m and the state $295.9m.

It is expected to be finished in the second half of 2014, weather permitting.

During the press conference at the construction site, local and national media assembled to ask questions.

As to be expected she refused to be drawn on the recent failed leadership spill, instead saying that she will reflect in the coming days and make a decision on the cabinet.

Next it was a stroll down Bangalow’s main street, past the pub and bemused store-

keepers to a quick stop at the Utopia cafe.

She then spent the afternoon visiting Bangalow primary school, meeting staff and students for their Harmony Day assembly .

Ms Elliot told The Echo, ‘It was just priceless watching the really excited kids and parents talking with the PM.’ A meeting with Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson was arranged before she eventually stayed at the Byron@Byron resort in the evening. The next day she travelled to Murwillumbah then on to Sydney.

Barham gains support for Indigenous health Jan Barham, Greens MP and spokesperson for Aboriginal Affairs, has welcomed the NSW upper house’s passage of her motion calling on the government to consider a key initiative to close the gap in health outcomes for older Indigenous people.

‘This motion called on the NSW government to consider lowering the eligibility age for the Seniors Card to 45 years for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I am pleased that the members of the Legislative Council across all parties supported it,’ Ms Barham said in a media release.

‘Making the Seniors Card available earlier is a simple, immediate way that we can ensure Indigenous people have improved access to primary health services.

‘By having Seniors Card entitlements, including concession rates on transport and other discounts, we can help to overcome problems with the accessibility and affordability of health services.’

The motion was passed on National Close the Gap Day, a campaign that aims to elimi-

nate the health inequality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians by 2030.

‘On average, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can expect to live more than a decade less than other Australians. Closing this gap requires a range of solutions from governments at all levels. Seniors Card eligibility is one part of the solution,’ Ms Barham said.

Ms Barham also paid tribute in parliament to Micky Kay, an Arakwal Bundjalung elder from Byron Bay who died recently. ‘I am proud to say that Micky was a friend,’ she said.

‘I have known him for many years and worked closely with the Arakwal elders on the historical Indigenous Land Use Agreement. Micky was affectionately known as the Black Mayor of Byron Bay. ‘He was well known for performing Welcome to Country ceremonies and for the pride and skill he displayed in sharing the cultural heritage of his people. As an elder he was a strong voice to advise young Indigenous people about cultural traditions.’

Tough laws planned for OMCG The NSW government will introduce a bill to the Parliament which replicates the Queensland anti-bikie legislation, while retaining key elements of the current NSW model, NSW premier Barry O’Farrell and attorney-general Greg Smith said last week.

‘We’re determined to get these tough new laws in place

by Easter,’ Mr O’Farrell said.

The NSW government is determined to have outlaw motorcycle gangs declared crimi-

nal organisations.’

Under the legislation, the Supreme Court, rather than an eligible judge, will make decisions on applications to declare an organisation a criminal organisation.

Mr Smith said police are already getting results in a crackdown on outlaw motorcycle gangs.

‘Through Operation Spartan, the police have so far laid over 1,100 charges and made 660 arrests.’

Free cancer support program

From left, Byron Primary School captains Louis RobinsonGale, Tia Gotterson and Louis’s sister Scout Robinson-Gale had a quick chat with PM Julia Gillard in Bangalow to discuss fundraising plans for their Race To Canberra. The school is seeking support from local businesses in the community to help get every single year six student to Canberra this year.

With 1,050 kilometres between Byron and Canberra they are selling kilometres for $20 each. ‘The PM’s press adviser bought the first km so only 1,049 to go!’ said Clare Robinson-Gale.

Saffin quits after failed spill Page MP Janelle Saffin has resigned from her short lived role as whip after supporting Kevin Rudd in last week’s unsuccessful leadership vote.

Despite her urging, and that of 20-odd colleagues, in his office shortly before the leadership spill, Mr Rudd declined to nominate for the ballot, seeing PM

Julia Gillard and deputy Wayne Swan re-elected unopposed.

Ms Saffin, who has made no secret that she is a supporter of Mr Rudd, was generous in her description of his decision, saying he had given his word not to stand against his leader and did not want to split the party.

Cookie company may be sold The Byron Bay Cookie Company could continue to operate if the bakery business can be sold as a going concern, a meeting of creditors heard last Tuesday.

The company is being wound up by the Australian Tax Office after reportedly being owed $1.3 million in back

taxes. Up to 170 businesses are owed money, including $2.7 million to unsecured creditors, plus unpaid staff entitlements.

A proposed amendment to the Mining State Environmental Planning Policy (Mining SEPP) is now on exhibition for public feedback until Friday April 12, 2013.

It aims to strengthen regulation of the coal seam gas (CSG) industry.

Planning and infrastructure minister Brad Hazzard said, ‘The amendment seeks to prohibit CSG exploration and production activity within two

kilometres of residential zones and proposed future residential areas.

‘Drilling underneath these zones will also be prohibited.

‘CSG activities will also be excluded from land identified as a Critical Industry Cluster – which includes the Upper Hunter horse breeding and wine making industries.’

Belongil beach to gets its rocks on Hans Lovejoy

Rocks from the Ewingsdale highway upgrade look likely to be placed on Belongil’s shoreline after councillors voted to provide interim protection at Manfred, Border and Don Streets at an extraordinary meeting last Thursday (Crs Dey, Cameron and Spooner voted against).

No doubt it will be a relief for Belongil beachfront residents, some of whom have an ongoing court case with Council.

But as for beach users in that area, you’d better get in quickly to enjoy what remains. It’s predicted that the beach will erode further with the retaining walls.

It was stressed during the meeting that rock protection works would be considered an interim measure until a longterm coastal zone management plan was adopted. The overdue plan was expected to be finalised by the end of 2012, according to Council’s website.

Geobags were installed around public beach access areas at the end of 2001, and

a Council report noted that the existing geobag structures were only ever intended as an interim short-term measure, but have been in place for over 10 years. As a result, Council says the geobags are ageing and currently have high maintenance requirements.

During debate, Cr Duncan Dey argued removing rocks is difficult and should be considered a temporary fixture, not an interim one. Cr Paul Spooner lamented that the beach ‘will be gone within a generation’.

But Cr Alan Hunter told the chamber, ‘We’re ducking from our responsibilities on this issue,’ he said, and referred to the recent debate on leadership with Council’s position on gay marriage. ‘This is a unique opportunity due to the tunnel being built.’ Cr Di Woods was also for the idea, saying, ‘there’s no grey area with the community on this issue.’ She said that it wasn’t just the residents at risk but land owned by Council and underground sewarage.

Cr Woods also added that

while she wasn’t happy to see the beach potentially disappear, there are thankfully other beach areas in the Shire.

Mayor Simon Richardson said the time to complete the design and approval process at this stage is unknown but could be lengthy. ‘Funding for capital and maintenance costs for the proposed works will be sourced from state departments and private landholders.

‘If the costs of the works can not be funded from the former sources or from the current Council budget, the matter will be referred to Council for further consideration,’ he said.

The NSW Coastal Panel will also be consulted before any final decision is made. Council staff say any decision to use rock as an interim measure would not restrict Council in preparing its coastal management plan.

MP Don Page raises ire of councils over proposed sacking laws Hans Lovejoy

Radical changes that would see a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fundamental shiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in power from local councils to the state government have been blasted

by NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak representative body, Local Government NSW (LGNSW).

And despite the reforms being now on hold, the minister responsible for local government, local Ballina MP Don Page, was accused of failing to consult LGNSW at an urgent meeting held on March 15.

Additionally, detail on the Early Intervention Bill is vague and lacks detail, says joint president of LGNSW, Cr Keith Rhoades AFSM. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If passed, this legislation will undermine the democratic responsibilities of mayors and councils elected by residents and ratepayers by making councils responsible to the minister,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The lack of detail and broad scope for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Performance Improvement Orderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; criteria is extremely worrying. The NSW government needs to give a clearer definition of what constitutes a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;non-functioningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noneffectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Presently, councils can only be dismissed by the NSW governor if a public inquiry has been held and if the minister for local government recommends the dismissal.

There are 152 NSW local government bodies and Mr Page told parliament there were, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no less than 10 casesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that cost millions in recent years.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; [Hansard transcription] Additionally he says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;for the first time in 17 years, there are no councils under administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

So why is this such a priority?

Mr Page told The Echo, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We

have had a small number of councils who have become dysfunctional and if this legislation had been in place the problems would have been sorted out. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For example last year a Sydney council had a group of councillors who kept walking out of the chamber so a quorum could not be maintained and matters could not be dealt with. This went on for many months! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is currently no provision in the Local Government Act to deal with such a situation. By being able to nip problems in the bud there will be fewer dismissals in future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The power to suspend a whole council already exists in a number of other jurisdictions including Western Australia and Queensland Mr Page told parliament. [Hansard transcription, February 26, 2013] He also referenced a recently published NSW auditor-generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, Monitoring Local Government, which, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;also supported the need for government to have greater powers in tackling poor performance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The amendment While the lengthy 26 page amendment to the Local Government Act includes much detail on what powers the state wants, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sparse on how councils can appeal. One notable proposal is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;consultation period of not less than 21 days,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for submissions.

And being suspended means a total lockout â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there would be no pay or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;use of council facilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The amendment, available at http://bit.ly/XqZHKZ, would enable the minister for local government or the directorgeneral to demand documents

be non-compliance with state legislation etc or continual refusal to allow a quorum to be formed preventing council from operating.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He also denies itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a power grab. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To the contrary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sensible means of addressing problems before they get to a point where after a long period of dysfunction a public inquiry is ordered and a council is Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response sacked, which is the only option As for the Local Government now when dysfunction occurs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; NSW claims of not being consulted, Mr Page told The Echo Railroaded his department has had three Shadow NSW Labor local consultations so far, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Two as government minister Sophie minister with the presidents and Cotsis told The Echo that what one at officer level, with more to is being proposed is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new seccome. We are working through tion, not an amendment.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the issues and I have no intenShe says she is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;getting lettion of rushing the Bill through. ters from residents about this, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Effectively itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on hold while and the government should be we conclude our discussions, worried.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which have been very conâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They tried to ram this structive. through despite the act being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;LGNSW received the Bill reviewed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said, referring to on February 14 and raised no the Local Government Act 1993, a review of which is due in Sepconcerns until recently. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The processes provided be- tember. fore a performance improveShe claims that 27 councils ment order are being worked and mayors across Sydney have through by the government also discussed the proposals at and LGNSW. a recent meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They feel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Notwithstanding, the min- railroaded,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. ister must give notice of a perFormer mayor, independent formance improvement order, state and federal member Ted state exactly what the problem Mack told Fairfax last week, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just to the council but the government thinks this appublicly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the council has proach is worthwhile, why stop 21 days to say what they are go- at local government? ing to do to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why not give agencies such â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;After saying what they pro- as the ombudsman, the audipose to do they have time to tor-general or the ICAC the carry out their plan.

Tweed Council sacks its GM Awarded for saving two lives Luis Feliu

Tweed Shire Council last week sacked general manager David Keenan just 10 months into his three-year contract, with majority councillors citing a loss of trust in his ability to continue in the highly paid job.

The surprise move comes after what is believed to have been an irreparable breakdown in relations between the GM and the mayor over various issues in the 10 months Mr Keenan has been in the job. Mayor Barry Longland moved in a late urgency motion to terminate Mr Keenan’s contract in a closed-door session after the general council meeting and majority councillors agreed, with a 4–3 vote (Crs Warren Polglase, Phil Youngblutt and Carolyn Byrne against).

A rescission motion on the move failed, along the same voting lines. Cr Longland issued a

statement saying he would be appointing an acting general manager as soon as possible.

‘There is a clause in the general manager’s contract which permits the termination of the contract without notice and without a reason being necessary,’ Cr Longland said. ‘In making this decision, Council was acting in the best interests of the Tweed community. I want to re-

assure Tweed residents and ratepayers that it is business as usual for the shire and Council has an experienced senior management team which will ensure no disruptions to Council business.’

It’s believed Mr Keenan will be paid out the remainder of his contract and has been given several days’ notice. One of four council directors is expected to be appointed acting general manager next week. The move to cut short the GM’s contract came only days after Cr Longland returned from a threeweek overseas holiday.

There was no clue during last night’s open council meeting of the move, which came during the confidential session when members of the press and public were excluded. But council watchers say several issues which the GM handled had soured relations between the GM and majority councillors.

When Bernard McCaffery headed down to his local beach for a surf he came away a hero.

And because of his action, Bernard’s is one of 50 Commendations for Brave Conduct approved by Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC CVO, governor-general of the Commonwealth of Australia.

On November 27, 2008 Bernie pulled two swimmers from the ocean at Suffolk Park.

‘I checked the water and then brought my board back up to go for a quick surf ’, says Bernie.

‘There was a really strong rip, that was the reason I was going surfing because there was a little left with a wave going off it. There were no other surfers about and I was really keen to get into the water.’

Bernie says when he got back to the beach with his board a group of people saw him and ran up and asked for assistance for two people who were struggling in the surf. He was told that there was a woman and a man who had gone to assist her, who were in distress out

past the breakers.

Three other men had also entered the water to assist. Bernie made his way to the swimmers and he dragged the exhausted woman onto the board.

‘I got the girl on. She was pretty blue and struggling. I got her in and was told that one of the men who was trying to save her was in trouble as well so I went back out and got him. It probably took an hour or so to get them in – it was a really strong rip.’

Mr McCaffery managed to get the pair to shore, while the other men made their way back to the beach, after being in the water for almost forty minutes.

Happens all the time Bernie, who will receive his award at a ceremony in Sydney later in the year, said he didn’t expect to be honoured in such a way. ‘It happens all the time. Surfers are always saving people. It’s something anyone would do’.

The largest collection of Led Zeppelin photos ever seen in Byron Bay opens on March 27 at Retrospect Galleries to coincide with the appearance of lead singer Robert Plant at the Bluesfest. The exhibition runs from March 27 to April 4 at 52 Jonson Street.

The photos were taken by photographer Ted Harvey at the sellout Sydney concert in 1972.

Ted’s photos from this concert were never published.

This was in spite of the fact that Plant told Ted they were the best live shots anyone had taken of the band.

More than three decades later, Ted rediscovered the film and the images were first exhibited in an exhibition called ‘One Night Stand’ at the Lismore Regional Art Gallery.

Proceeds from sales will go to Rockphoto Aid, which supports children in poverty in Brazil, a project Ted and his wife Margaret are committed to.

Ballina GM accused of witch hunt against councillors Chris Dobney

Ballina Council GM Paul Hickey has been accused of conducting a ‘witch hunt’ against elected councillors after demanding they produce statutory declarations in relation to what they know about information allegedly leaked to The Echo about secret council deliberations.

Ballina Greens councillor Jeff Johnson told The Echo the GM had threatened him with

<echowebsection=Local News>

legal action despite his written denial that he had leaked any confidential information.

He said Mr Hickey had ‘no legal authority to require a statutory declaration be produced’ and said that councillors were being treated ‘completely differently from staff ’, who were merely being ‘spoken to’.

Last Wednesday Ballina council watcher Vince Kelly wrote in a letter to Echonetdaily that the council had backed the wrong horse in the planned

sale of a property in Tamarind Drive. In it, Mr Kelly asserted a ‘cash and land’ swap offered

by Fire and Rescue NSW was preferred over a purchaser who he said would have paid more money and provided the community with a much needed indoor swimming pool.

The letter contained financial information that was heard behind closed doors in a confidential sitting of the council’s commercial services committee of February 26. www.echo.net.au

Harmony Day is celebrated each year coinciding with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home; from traditional custodians of the land to newly arrived immigrants.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme, Many Stories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One Australia, is being taken up in different ways around the region.

Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harmony team took to the streets on Saturday to celebrate with food and music in Railway Park, combining with the last artisan market of the season. Amid the flavours of Indonesia, Japan, Brazil, Greece, Belgium and the Middle East, the day was full of exciting cultural events, live music, dance and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities.

He said in a media release on Thursday that the changes are required because of advancements in modern day buses and because humans now weigh more. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dare I say, modern day lifestyles have also contributed to an increase in average passenger

weights,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said minister Gay. He quoted Australian Health Survey ABS stats: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The national average weight for men is now at 86 kilograms and 71 kilograms for women. When Australian Design Rules for buses and coaches were first implemented in 1989, the average weight was mandated at only 65 kilograms.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The mass limit increase will apply to route services and charter/coach services across NSW, and will come into effect from April 19, 2013.Â

protection for water resources affected by coal seam gas mining was passed recently.

An amendment to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act passed through the Lower House, and now will be tabled in the Upper House. If passed there it will become law.

Greens senator Larissa Waters told AAP, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mr Windsorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment, which has the full support of the Greens, prevents Mr Abbott from his

governments, who have let the coal seam gas industry run rampant. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way toward locking the gate and Abbott-proofing the fence.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Local federal MP Justine Elliot said in a release, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Currently there is no direct protection for water resources under our national environmental law and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to change that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our biggest risk is still the National Party pushing their CSG agenda at all levels of government.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Beware of bats, say infectious disease experts tically tried to establish what was wrong with him, says Dr Francis. Analysis of his brain and spinal fluid were normal at first, but on day 10 of his admission, increased levels of lyssavirus were detected.

The boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neurological condition deteriorated, characterised by symptoms such as abnormal movements, and he then went into a coma. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Human to human transmission of lyssaviruses had not been well documented,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;but it is theoretically possible. Local and international guidelines recommend post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for anyone who has had skin or muscosal contact with saliva or neural tissue from an infected person. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This involves immunoglob-

ulin treatment and vaccination. Following the diagnosis, we identified 175 potential contacts of the boy, and of these five household members and 15 healthcare-workers were offered PEP.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Proved fatal in all cases reported â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ABLV has proved fatal in all cases reported to date,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a need for increased public awareness of the risk associated with bat contact. In short, people should stay away from bats. For anyone exposed, PEP is effective at preventing progression to disease, and should be considered as soon as possible in all cases that constitute a potentially significant

exposure.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ABLV was first identified in Australian bats and flying foxes in 1996 and remains common in both animals, though human infection is extremely rare. Two adult cases were confirmed in 1996 and 1998, and followed a similar disease course to rabies before being fatal in both cases. One was a woman bitten by a flying fox after trying to remove it from a child, the other a carer who looked after these animals.

Other lyssavirus strains circulate in bats in the USA and Europe, and multiple cases of human infection, and subsequent deaths, have been reported.

Thus this warning issued by experts applies to wherever bat or flying fox populations exist.

Doctors from Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mater Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital have released the details of an eightyear-old boy who tragically died from being bitten by a bat in northern QLD earlier this year.

Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) was identified, but currently there is no proven effective treatment for infection in humans.

Dr Joshua Francis, who addressed the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases (ASID) last week in Canberra, said the boy did not tell his parents he had been bitten, and three weeks later began to suffer convulsions and pain which led to coma, whereupon he eventually died.

The boy was intubated and ventilated while doctors fran-

Crean the breaking point was Gillard’s performance at the AWU conference, followed by her attack on the 457 visa system.

This was open and unashamed class warfare, a concept which Labor was supposed to have discarded a generation ago.

Like his fellow veteran Martin Ferguson, Crean accepted that Gillard was not the only one to blame: Rudd had tried something similar in the first attempt at a mining tax. And the common factor was Wayne Swan,

Gillard, on the other hand, was confident she still had a majority so when Crean approached her to demand a spill she launched an immediate retaliatory strike: she sacked Crean from her ministry and called the caucus meeting for that afternoon. Crean had been expecting Gillard to refuse, which would have meant organising a caucus petition and thus gaining more time, but now there was no turning back. He went over the top and charged the machine guns, only to realise

Crean’s negotiations were not with Rudd himself, but with Chris Bowen, and the two had very different interpretations of what was proposed.

by Mungo MacCallum treasurer to both leaders and now Gillard’s trusted deputy. If the nexus could be broken, perhaps there was hope.

So Crean resolved to stand against Swan as deputy. Gillard would not and could not abandon Swan; Crean’s proposal meant that he had to desert Gillard, but he saw no alternative if the party was to be salvaged. So he went to the Rudd camp and suggested a RuddCrean ticket, but when, as he expected, this was rejected because Rudd wanted Anthony Albanese as his deputy, Crean decided to go it alone while supporting Rudd anyway.

And this is where it all came unstuck. Crean’s negotiations were not with Rudd himself, but with Chris Bowen, and the two had very different interpretations of what was proposed.

Crean thought Bowen was ready and willing to go, with the numbers virtually sewn up.

Bowen thought Crean was offering to supply the numbers which would ensure victory.

he hardly needed to add that in no circumstances would he now accept the leadership. In no circumstances would it now ever be offered.

So, on the scoreboard, a win for Gillard; but at a terrible price. As well as Crean, she lost her other substantial link with Labor’s past, Martin Ferguson, who took the opportunity to break with a government from which he had long been estranged. Gillard would have retained him and might also have forgiven Bowen. She would certainly have sacked Kim Carr, and as for the lesser lights – Richard Marles, Joel Fitzgibbon, Ed Husic, and Janelle Saffin – who knows; the question is academic because all are now gone. At the time of writing it appears that she will hang on to the other most prominent Rudd backers, Anthony Albanese and Mark Butler, despised

by Ferguson’s young brother Laurie as gutless wonders; she can ill afford not to. Despite all her bravado, the damage her government has sustained has made her victory look decidedly Pyrrhic.

Full scale, open warfare might even have been a better bet. A final confrontation, a genuine duel to the death, at least would have meant a clean kill one way or the other and the chance of a fresh start. As it is, Gillard can just keep charging ahead, ignoring all advice to change course, whether well meant or otherwise. You have to admire her persistence, chorus her admirers: she’s as tough as nails.

Yes, reply her critics: she’s tough all right. But wouldn’t it be nice if she didn’t have to be; if she was just smart enough to stay out of trouble in the first place.

that he was on his own: Rudd, having been told that a win could not be guaranteed, elected to remain in his foxhole.

His followers were devastated by what they saw as cowardice and betrayal, but really they should not have been surprised: Rudd had form. In 2010 he had squibbed at holding a double dissolution election, and then walked away from his Emissions Trading Scheme, his answer to the great moral and social challenge of his time.

And his justification for the no show – that he was only being a man of his word – was generally treated as bullshit. After all, by his own account his last question to Bowen was whether he could be certain of even a bare majority.

Let’s not get bogged down in a negative climate zone Q There is something ludicrous

about people who are, supposedly, deeply opposed to the existing system taking a position which supports the sales base of the biggest and most polluting multinational (fossil fuel) companies on the planet.

There are those who think it’s all about money: ‘the AGW get rich scam’. There are those who think it’s all about power: ‘the AGW power grab’.

However, when those political issues are confounded with the denial of observed facts and deep scientific analysis, then the proposition becomes laughable.

The industrial release of additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from buried sources of carbon began decades before John D Rockefeller, the Fed, or Al Gore.

Also, inane statements about CO2 being non-toxic completely miss the point. The radiative and thermal physics and atmospheric dynamics are very clearly understood. Heating is inexorable, evaporation and melting inevitable; it is physics, and it is in our power to stop and reverse it, or continue goofing into global catastrophe.

ity. The reason given was that Metgasco hasn’t any certainty about the latest restrictions placed on the industry in NSW, which don’t go far enough.

Also the federal environment and water minister Tony Burke just announced that his department would look into the effects that the CSG industry has on our waterways.

This same minister just approved 110 gas wells around the Gloucester area. Will he veto those wells and every other well in Australia which he has

the power to do? An investigation into the CSG industry should happen. I am not holding my breath on that answer.

To all the protesters at Glenugie and Doubtful Creek: power to you, all your efforts are being rewarded already.

we need to be suspicious of corporations and exceedingly wealthy or powerful individuals, Al Gore included, Peggy Balfour (Letters, March 12 and 19). We also need to question the motives of the dominant member countries of the UN and religious zealots of any kind.

In fact, we’re all a bit suss, wouldn’t you think? We the dominant species from the developed world, which eats up more resources than the planet can replenish. How suspicious is that? Move over 10,000 species per year (WWF estimate), go die somewhere while we carry on being reckless.

The contrast of having a good whiff at Myocum tip or the sweet smell of good compost is pretty clear. The contrast of the hum of solar inverters or the deafening dirty business of an open cut mine is also clear.

Unlike Richard Hollier (Letters, March 19), who can’t even see the point in recycling (such a tiny thing to do), I know people who build wealth and security and give little to greedy corporations, most of all the petrochemical industries. They remain buoyant by giving attention to their health and fitness, their relationships and productive gardens. Most organic gardeners know the value of a carbon/compost rich soil.

So let’s not get bogged down by the good carbon, bad carbon, how much carbon debate.

Another refrain of the bypass blues proposal to have visitors park at the sportsground and be bussed into town. I replied that we could not support his proposal and that our preference was to use the Butler Street reserve and one of the town sportsfields for parking as they are within easy walking distance of the town centre and beaches.

Fast Buck$ (Letters, March 19) has asked me to clarify my position on the bypass after a reputed claim by our mayor that I am in favour of the major bypass. If this is what Simon said, then I take exception to being misrepresented by our mayor to garner support for his folly. If Simon had asked me I would have told him that I support the mini-bypass.

Like Fast Buck$, I was stunned to hear that Simon had ignored years of traffic studies along with Council staff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice that the mini-bypass would have significantly less environmental impact and be far more effective in reducing traffic in the town centre than the major bypass.

By reverting to the major bypass Simon has committed us to paying for years of studies and delays without getting any closer to alleviating our chronic traffic congestion. I was even more shocked to find out that Simon has been negotiating with the developers of the proposed West Byron development to help fund the bypass, even though a decision on their development is yet to be made.

Fast Buck$ pointed out last week, Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s default back to the Browning-Butler Street bypass option lacks value and vision. The most recent traffic study MR545 found that the Browning-Butler connection may only be utilised by 20 per cent of traffic as at least 80 per cent of traffic was destined north of Browning Street.

For this 20 per cent we get over half a kilometre of road through a swamp and then a half kilometre of rebuilt road through a heritage precinct residential area, terminating at the Shirley Street roundabout bottleneck. Market days will still present hazards, no further parking is created, pedestrian connections to town are lim-

ited, traffic jams will still be created at the roundabout but those south of the town will have a more immediate access to the gridlock.

Other options can and definitely should be examined that will provide better value and outcomes for the town. I was a member of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project reference group which proposed an initial alternative concept to the bypass, primarily to address the 80 per cent traffic intentions towards the beach, satisfy the 20 per cent southbound and relieve the Shirley Street roundabout bottleneck.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Byron Street Alignmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; town access road would connect at the Caltex service station, turn and run behind and over the Belongil canal at back of residential areas in the line of Byron Street, cross the railway south of the current crossing and connect straight to town.

This is infrastructure work that would be coupled with essential upgrade works for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main drainage canal. Most importantly though it will greatly increase the access and egress capacity of the town where it is needed.

But glaringly obvious to most is the opportunity presented

by the railway corridor. This ready-built artery of disused land presents to the town possible solutions which can only be described as a godsend. An alternative and highly useful access to town could be fashioned on the Belongil stretch and a southern bypass route, with parking and multiple contact points to town that could extend right down to the Eden Nursery would relieve the increasing traffic from the south.

This could all be achieved without the need to impact on wetlands and habitat, could be incorporated into bikeways and hiking trails, light rail and even park-and-ride.

There are alternative options to the mundane, we need vision that will rise to the challenge that this splendid place lays down at our feet. The town needs state and federal funding in any event so we should make the case for the best and most inspiring outcome. Major public works are required here, not unlike the original railway, the jetty and the lighthouse. Byron Bay is of state and national significance and should be supported as such.

Congratulations to Byron Council for making a stand to publicly support gay marriage.

It is wrong to discriminate against valued members of our communities on grounds of sexual difference from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, whatever that is. Many of these relationships have children and they must be protected under adequate law that acknowledges and accepts these families.

Marriage is about love, commitment and bonding families emotionally and legally. It is not about sex â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ask any longterm married person. That laws still exist disallowing same-sex marriage is archaic and sexist. A stand for change must be made and what better place than Byron Shire? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get some positive national and international publicity for a change. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winwin situation, good for them, good for the shire.

Power sources Responses to my recent CSG comments raise some interesting arguments. Some elaboration may be helpful.

Renewable energy, while being an important addition to established power generation output, cannot alone meet current baseload requirements in the foreseeable future. The stumbling block is that there is no solution in sight to solve the problem of storing vast volumes of electrical energy. Unfortunately, when the sun doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shine and the wind doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blow, the lights go out.

Physical forces hammering the coast All of the letters written on this subject appear to miss the single most relevant engineering point. There are plenty of breakwaters and groynes in this region, particularly if you include the Gold Coast to our immediate north, an area that, I would submit, has the same physical forces involved as occur in Byron Bay: a strong current going north during periods of meteorological lows, the more intense the low the stronger the flow until, when you get to the cyclonic low, it’s strong enough to suck the false teeth out of your head and deposit them on the beaches of Fraser Island within 24 hours.

Yet all of these breakwaters and groynes are still standing and some of them were constructed a century past. The only problems that come up about them are that they get sand bars in front of them and watercraft have trouble getting out. Doesn’t that tell you something?

power companies to change to a fuel medium that emits significantly less CO2 than coal.

Some of the dirtiest power producers are in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. Hazelwood, Loy Yang and Yallourn power stations are located a short distance from the Bass Strait gas platforms. These stations burn lignite (brown coal), having a calorific value of around 16000kj/kg. Methane, at 43000kj/kg and LPG at 51000kj/kg offer obvious opportunities to collectively reduce emissions and increase thermal efficiency.

Elsewhere, coal (27000kj/ kg) predominates as the fuel of power generators. Collectively the plants spew out millions of tonnes of CO2/year. The argument concerning leakage of methane doesn’t hold water when the total CO2 pollution is put into the equation.

It would horrify processing plant and pipeline engineers to contemplate methane leakage, through the distribution system, in the millions of tonnes.

Australia’s bovine population probably offers a greater threat to our environment than gas leaks.

Obviously, the infrastructure is not in place to process and provide supply to the plants.

And take the example of North Greenmount Beach. By the early 1990s the Gold Coast Council had protected the surf club there with a rock wall and guys were fishing off the club balcony, it was that deep. They built the Kirra Groyne and within six months they had 40 metres of sand in front of the wall. And that was before the Tweed River sand pumping solution which had an alternative purpose to saving North Greenmount but nevertheless, it’s like the Gobi desert up there now. Fortunately, the advice to Byron Council is likely to come from engineers and engineers are likely to give advice based on proven solutions, not conjecture.

already exhaustive. The science is well and truly in: hard revetments on dune systems are a complete and utter no-no!

The science is conclusive, just as it is with anthropogenic climate change. As with ACC there are plenty of people with a lack of knowledge or a short term vested interest eager to debate something which has been proven beyond debate.

Hard revetments on dunefields have a profoundly negative effect. The only solution is to mimic the wave-absorbing qualities of dunes. We’re stuck with the rocks at Main Beach and the most sensible suggestion I’ve heard regarding them is David Gilet’s: reshape them to mimic dunes.

I’m not suggesting Belongil should not be protected. Of course it should, but we must pay attention to the science if we want a lasting solution rather than a disaster.

Manipulating opinion John Vaughan made some valid points regarding the role of the media and the importance of providing truthful, relevant and comprehensive information about issues of public concern (Letters, March 19). It is unfortunately true that vested interests constantly attempt to manipulate public opinion in furtherance of their agenda, using an awesome array of sophisticated PR techniques, not least the ‘hidden truths’.

It is therefore often very difficult to get an accurate account of the facts on matters of great import, especially when huge amounts of money are involved.

Motorists driving north to the Gold Coast and Brisbane in 1970 were greeted by a view from the St Helena lookout of something new and different: the first sighting of the ocean on the misnamed Pacific Highway, and a unique vista of rolling green and grassy hills devoid of the usual scrub. To urban dwellers the fertile dairy country, cleared ‘from boundary to boundary’, looked very prosperous. For local landowners at that time the reality was quite different.

The author Graham Askey, Burringbar 1972 A grand piece of nineteenth century social engineering, The Closer Settlement Acts, was fi- Echo founder Nicholas Shand was one of those nally playing out. Government Main Arm residents who met with Dunstan had designed the legislation partly to rid the cities of a po- and Allen and rejected the idea of the Aquarius tentially disruptive underclass, Festival spoiling their paradise. However, with and also to encourage the poor the festival safely located in Nimbin, Nicholas to ‘select’ small farm blocks in the country. It was ‘Sydney or became one of the many organisers spending weeks before the festival making preparations. the Bush’.

Clearing the land A condition for gaining free title to your selection was that you had to clear the land. The first generation of white settlers did exactly that. They chopped down ‘The Big Scrub’, exported the best timber as railway sleepers, built their homesteads and turned the Richmond and Tweed valleys into a patchwork of small dairy farms. Unlike in other parts of Australia the ‘Dad and Dave’ model of small family farms was quite successful in the well watered northern rivers. The north-eastern corner of NSW became the most densely populated rural area in Australia.

The unmechanised dairy farms required a lot of manual labour to hand milk the cows, to keep the weeds at bay and to plant and pick the small crops which had flourished after the railway had been connected to Sydney in 1931. A multitude of Dads and Mums produced large families of Daves and Mabels who were allowed to leave school early to help out on the farm.

This bucolic prosperity continued until the sixties when small cropping and bananas began to face increasing competition from the larger, more efficient and flat farms of north Queensland. The timber was long gone. Then the United Kingdom joined the European Common Market. Suddenly there was no tariff protected market to take the higher cost butter which had been the area’s main export. The north coast economy collapsed.

Federal MP Doug Anthony told his constituents to ‘Get big or get out’. Many holdings were amalgamated. The young and the casual labourers drifted to the cities. This left lots of empty farmhouses, workers’ barracks, www.echo.net.au

Echo co-founder David Lovejoy said that his own recollection of the actual event was too hazy to be relied upon.

This article is the first of a series that the Byron Echo and Echonetdaily will run in the lead-up to the 40th anniversary of the Nimbin Aquarius Festival. Details of a commemoration organised

by Southern Cross University, to be held on May 23 and 24 at the Nimbin Town Hall, are at http:// sassevents.scu.edu.au/aquarius.

In addition, local activist Harsha Prabhu is seeking funding to publish a book about the Aquarius 40th anniversary – see http://pozible.com/rainbow.

packing sheds, cow bails and lots of boarded up shops in the towns and villages. Eden had been partially deserted. The stage was ready to accommodate a new wave of settlers – the hippies.

The new wave They came from the babyboomer generation. Raised in comfortable middle class families they rejected their parents’ bourgeois values, which had dominated the Menzies years.

They identified with Jack Kerouac and Holden Caulfield.

Their muses were Bob Dylan and John Lennon. They opposed conscription, the Vietnam war and US imperialism.

They explored eastern mysticism and experimented with psychedelic drugs. This was the self-styled counterculture of the sixties. Many were uptight about what they regarded as the stresses and pollutions of the cities and, armed with the Whole Earth Catalog, they hoped that a simpler life of selfsustainability could be found in the country. I think we’ve been through this movie before.

But where in the country?

and the new arrivals spread out into Wilsons Creek, The Pocket, Crabbes Creek, Burringbar and Stokers Siding. By the middle of 1972 the monthly ‘Moondances’ at the old Coopers Lane Hall were attracting crowds of hundreds to bop to the music of Donny McCormick and Ian Walsh.

Naked windfall All the while the locals were surprisingly accepting and welcoming of these strange new arrivals. Eyebrows may have been raised at the stories of naked hippies in the swimming holes and the seeming lack of any traditional work ethic but more important was the windfall rent money, the cash on the counters of the local hardware stores for building materials, the one-teacher schools kept open by the influx of hippie kids and the opportunities to retire to the coast after the sale of uneconomic farms. This wave of pioneers had a bit in the way of savings, inheritances and outside work but, just as importantly, they introduced a new and lucrative cash crop – marijuana. The economic decline had ended.

It was into this mutually beneficial social and economic pond that, in September 1972,

Heading north to the warmth seemed logical, but BjelkePetersen’s Queensland was not appealing. Byron Bay, just short of the border, had been for some time a way stop on the surfies’ quest for an endless summer, but they came only for the waves, not to settle.

Up Main Arm It’s uncertain just who was the very first hippie to discover the hinterlands of the far north coast, but ‘Nerada’, at the very top of Upper Main Arm, established by Jimmy Nutter and the Ruebens early in 1971, was probably the earliest ‘commune’. They were soon followed by Colin Scattergood, first at the Finn Village and then at ‘Kohinur’ and the McIlwraiths at the ‘Yellow House’.

The Shands brought the Paddington Push to Coopers Lane.

This new migration was made possible by the wide selection of properties, particularly the steeper backblocks, which were for sale cheaply and by the many empty farm houses which could be rented for three or four dollars a week.

The word was out. Before long, Main Arm was taken up <echowebsection=Articles>

Articles/Letters

Messages from nature carried upon waves from afar came south from the Coral Sea. Along the way, they picked up marine hitchhikers. The ones in my hand carry goose barnacles (Lepas species). They’re sized by the length of the outer edges of their shells. With the longest at 2–3cm, I guess these could be at least a year old.

Anyone can figure this by considering the rate of their development. That’s development in the original sense of the word as ‘unfolding’. This meaning is still used by biologists to describe the expected stages of growth experienced by living beings from birth to maturity.

The development of goose barnacles from egg to adult is Our recent storms have orinow well known. In the 1830s, gins in tropic seas far away.

LETTERS from page 16

revolutionised the dissemination of information and opened new vistas previously denied to us, but the task of sifting fact from fiction remains daunting.

The trick is to seek out and remain receptive to new information, avoid bias and preconceptions, think critically and rely on logic and reason, rather than faith, when assessing assertions.

Of course, we all view the world through the prism of our personal, social and cultural value systems. Cherished beliefs tend

or seven stages.

From the 13th to the 17th century in Europe, their development was understood very differently. The drifting sea creatures were known as the embryo stage of a species of goose called a ‘barnacle’. No one ever saw these birds nest or grow up. But every year, they flew away over the unknown sea, so development must happen somewhere over there. As a barnacle goose was a special type of fish, Christians were

permitted to eat it on Fridays and during Lent.

Understanding the course of biological development is hard won knowledge. In the late 19th–early 20th century, this concept was co-opted to illustrate changes over time in real estate and human societies. But now in the 21st century, such changes are clearly seen as quite unlike the growth of juveniles to adults. The changes of land or civilisation do not follow inevitably from ‘primi-

tive’ to ‘rural’ to ‘urban’ or ‘urbane’. A town like Byron or Mullumbimby is not fated to become a copy of Surfers Paradise, nor has it an innate drive to become like Sydney or Brisbane. This realisation is also hard won but gives power to community choice. How about a new word for what human enterprise creates as it follows human desires? Leave ‘development’ alone, to gasp in wonder about barnacles and other species.

to become rigid and impervious to new information. When many people share a common fallacy, that belief can take on a life of its own, transcending the realm of logic and becoming immune to falsification. When such beliefs transgress the laws of nature, they inevitably lead to catastrophe.

troduction of our carbon tax was an article written by a student after a trip to Nepal. She reported that through global warming the Nepalese were fearful of losing their glacier rivers and she urged the government to implement the tax immediately.

Nepal’s two neighbours China and India are among the world’s largest industrial polluters. Nepal’s wellbeing would not be high on their goodwill lists. Because we have a tax it would be naive to expect them to be shamed into believing it is necessary to have one. The economy of Nepal is built around tourism, with visitors flying in and out from all over the globe complete with their aircraft emissions.

Because we want to support the tourist economy we will still travel there. Be sorry about the aircraft fuel pollution, but if an Australian carrier takes you direct you can still feel warm and fuzzy in the knowledge that our government has a carbon tax component built into the cost of your ticket.

How this will help the people of Nepal is beyond my comprehension.

greed, etc are especially bad, however the greatest problem society faces is the one we can’t see!

The immaterial or ethereal relates to spirituality and spirit and here exists humanity’s greatest misconception – it’s a long story that evolved naturally throughout humanity’s exploration of life – and biggest hurdle.

Meanwhile God’s Spirit (Holy) is starting to tango and it’s getting extravagant. If you can batter down the ego for long enough, you’ll find truth here and a mystical union (with Spirit) that will surpass your wildest expectations; even the delusions will dissolve (bingo). Misconception solved!

The stagnant old church is being replaced by a vibrant new non-traditional charismatic church. Byron Bay has a handful. Shhhh, something good is happening.

Pre-Aquarian north coast continued from page 17

Australian Student Union organisers Graeme Dunstan and Johnny Allen came to toss a rock. They were looking for a site to hold the biennial Intervarsity Arts Festival.

Their reception in Main Arm was cold and not only from Colin Scattergood. It wasn’t the idea of a festival that most of the Main Arm community rejected, after all many had been to the original Ourimbah Festival, it was that it wasn’t wanted right here in our backyard. Main Arm had become notorious enough.

Some fool had dubbed the local product ‘Mullumbimby Madness’ and now wide-eyed Sydney high school kids were fetching up, hoping to find welcoming communes overflowing with free dope and 18 March 26, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

hippie chicks. Trainloads of undergraduates on some kind of countercultural sabbatical, well, who needed it?

Dunstan and Allen did have another possible contact on the north coast. They went in search of Jill Thompson who had been the director of the University Arts Festival in Newcastle six years previously.

Calling in at the Good Earth Café in Bangalow, the region’s first macrobiotic restaurant, they didn’t find her but met the owner, Bob Chard, a fellow Novocastrian, who offered to help them in their quest to find some land on which to hold their festival. He took them to Nimbin, then an almost ghost town, which hadn’t as yet been colonised by the hippies.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Dear Locals, Just a quick note to let you know that WhyNot! has changed its name, along with the addition of some great new local art, lighting, bar and overall lay out. We are still locally owned, employing locals and serving locally grown produce (with over half of that being organic).

Lots of the same smiling staff are still here, along with some old faces from the early days of WhyNot! Our focus at The Eatery is to serve wholesome, local, organic and nutritious food with a modern Italian influence. Our wines represent the true character of their variety and regions, and our cocktails are unique (and the best value in town!). We also support sustainable practices and have reduced our environmental impact greatly.

We are a truly Byron style cafe/restaurant, or as we like to label ourselves an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eateryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It is what we are and what we represent... it is a reflection of the shire itself! Diverse, whilst remaining all embracing.

Autumn is camellia time. These beautiful and hardy shrubs provide colour from now until springtime, and are one of the easiest things to grow. They love our slightly acid soil, and our climate is ideal. Their glossy green foliage looks great year round, and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bothered by many pests or diseases. They also make fantastic potted plants.

Camellia sasanqua is a fastgrowing species native to Japan.

Their ďŹ&#x201A;owers have a deliciously spicy, earthy fragrance, and will attract bees to your garden. They range in colour from white through to deep rosy pink and ďŹ&#x201A;ower early in the season; the camellias ďŹ&#x201A;owering now are probably sasanquas. They are tolerant of full sun or semi-shade and are a great choice for a dense, attractive screen.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

‘Our ratings have never been huge compared to the commercial networks or the ABC but they have been very solid. I think SBS like that and people love that – we have had a good run from the press, and it’s a show that everyone can watch. It’s got a touch of cool factor given that we get lots of the latest hip young artists and then at the same time we feature veteran performers.’

There have been some real surprises along the way.

Obviously not all musicians are comfortable with being part of a panel that may show up their lack of musical knowledge.

Rockwiz is one of the featured events at Bluesfest this year, and not only does it offer punters a chance to see their favourite ‘mystery’ musicians on the hot seat, it also offers them a chance to be part of the show, which by the way will be filmed for live TV broadcast.

It’s so simple, it’s genius… and this is how Rockwiz came into being.

‘I was approached by a couple of producers from Renegade films,’ says Nankervis ‘They decided the time was right for a music quiz show and they said would I like to be involved. We shot the pilot, but got no thankyou; but we resubmitted to SBS and got the go ahead.’

In the original format of Rockwiz Nankervis was the host. SBS however had very different ideas.

‘SBS said we have this charter to be the ethnic broadcaster, and we feel the host should have an ethnic background. It was personally disappointing. But I was realistic. I thought I can either be outraged and huffy and the show won’t get made or I can swallow my pride and we can find someone who the network will approve of and we did.’

Enter Julia Zemiro.

‘Having Julia up front was a brilliant stroke – her improvising skills are great; in fact she comes from a background of improvising.’

Rockwiz has always had more of a cult, rather than a mainstream following.

‘There are certain performers who basically have said I am just not comfortable on the panel and I think that means they don’t want to be seen not answering any questions and I can understand it, seeing as though they have these natters on either side who are music freaks. And they have to do a song with a band they have never met and a sing a song they have never sung with an artist they have never met…

One such artist who took some luring was Adalita from Magic Dirt.

‘Adalita knocked us back for three years, and then finally someone overheard a conversation with her in a dressing room that she wanted to be on Rockwiz She would only go on to be with Gareth from the Drones so we organised it.

Whether she knew that she’d been eavesdropped I don’t know, but she was incredible. We then took her on tour; she did a Christmas show!’

So what is the real highlight of Rockwiz for Nankervis?

‘I just love the natters. I think along with Julia and the band and the duets I think they are a crucial factor in why the show has lasted this long.

I think people love seeing ordinary people become heroes they are – I often say they are on their favourite show!’

So what should we expect for Rockwiz at Bluesfest this year?

‘This is our third appearance. We also did shows in 2010 and 2011.

This year we are doing three shows – 2pm shows – all different shows.

There will be some similar bits of linking but different guests and different ordering. We are bringing some guests who aren’t appearing at the festival… but guests are top secret – we will also be picking up international artists while they are there – it’s not easy though, I have to be brutally honest, it’s very difficult to get people to perform in a show they don’t know about and it’s hard to make the schedules all work.’

Rockwiz at Bluesfest, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Jambalaya at 2pm. Be there to be part of the fun – expect, I guess, the unexpected!

into the hospital, but sometimes the gig has nothing to do with being funny.

Was it hard? Did it take you time to be able to drop into a continual and ongoing sense of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning how do we become less directive and more responsive to stimulus when the human default position is to control the play? In Russia I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I ever dropped into pure play. For the whole two weeks I was sleep deprived and in sensory overload, and I was lugging around my fears of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doing clowning wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you can imagine!

My workshops are a totally different experience. Because I give participants a simple structure and permission, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe and enjoyable, I am, and everyone is, within the first two minutes, relaxed and connecting and the energy has already changed. By the end of an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most everyone is blown away at how easy it is to simply be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;themselvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; playful, creative, funny, imaginative. People are generally amazed because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise it can be so easy.

What is the power of Yes? Is it as simple as making a mindset change? As you know, comedy is based on offers and blocks. If you offer me purple pigs with pink polka dots and I, as your comedy BARBARA BREWSTER DESCRIBES HERSELF AS A partner, say no way, that pretty much ends the story. If however I say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, AND they danced for the queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the story moves forward.

PASSIONATE STUDENT OF LIFE AND A SPONTANEITY Life is the same. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving us offers all the time, most of which we ADDICT. THIS INSPIRATIONAL AUTHOR, SPEAKER, masterfully block. When, instead of resisting the four flat tyres, LAUGHTER SPECIALIST AND MS SURVIVOR WILL BE or the multiple sclerosis, we say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, this is what is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where PRESENTING A WORKSHOP AT STARLIGHT FESTIVAL THIS this circumstance (offer) takes meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, then we open the way to move WEEKEND. forward with our personal story.

Barbara, tell me about your experience travelling with Patch Sometimes it can be a simple mindset change. In my experience, Adams as a clown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what were the three key lessons or though, there are lots of life offers that I resist. But at least Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware experiences that helped shape your approach? There was no of my resistance! Practising the power of yes in fun circumstances training. You show up. He turns you loose and trusts that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll such as play/comedy certainly has helped me to develop my figure it all out. And you do. Caring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clowning is not awareness of its importance and my ability to use it. so much about being funny as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being present â&#x20AC;&#x201C; saying How can this enhance our daily lives? Eckhart Tolle says it well: Yes to the offer of the moment, rather than having a plan of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Always say Yes to the present moment. What could be more futile, a clown so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to behave in certain waysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The most profound experience was with two young burn patients. They were more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is? â&#x20AC;Ś Say Yes to life (the offer of the moment) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and see quivering in pain and fear. When I entered the room Patch and how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; another clown were singing Hush Little Baby Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Say A Word to one child. I immediately started singing to the other charred child (from The Power Of Now ). and doing a little therapeutic touch (non-touching movement How did you develop your workshop? At 50 I enrolled in a of energy), and was deeply moved to see the face and breathing comedy class at Portland (Oregon) State University. I discovered settle, the eyes normalise. I realised something that has stayed with this Barbara who was exuberant! Witty! Riotously funny â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along me in all my clown experience. The clown persona is what gets me with the other 30 students. I LOVED feeling so alive. I became

LETTING THE KATO OUT OF THE BAG On a chance meeting, Pete Murray discovered Garrett Kato and introduced him to recording producer Anthony Lycenko. Production began in the summer of 2011 for Garrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Australian release Love.

Murder. Songs. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rich mixture of folk country that captures truly compelling performances delivered from Katoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctly warm vocals and finely etched songs. He is at the Beach Hotel on Wednesday.

POPPIN A VASSELL Well known local troubadour Luke Vassella returns to Sphinx Rock Cafe on Easter Sunday.

His latest 5-track EP The Mighty Dollar is a reflection of his communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition to coal seam gas (CSG) development.

The songs exhibit an urgency that commands and persuades the listenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear. His most recent album, Great Expectation, is a collection of ten smooth alternative-country

addicted to meeting with comedy buddies, and enticing anyone who would, to play with me. But I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for buddies, so I translated many games on to paper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and my writing changed profoundly.

It became much more imaginative, colourful, poetic, profound.

Then the teacher passed out the principles of comedy, and I realised these were the same as the spiritual principles Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been trying to incorporate into my life. And I studied Gelatology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the health benefits of laughter. Everything tied together and I just had to share it.

You have lived with MS. Tell me a little of your healing journey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; did the healed become the healer? I realised immediately that I was being given some sort of heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, but somehow I mustered the commitment and courage to look excruciatingly honestly at personal myths, misbeliefs, limitations and to actually address them. I did heal and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been billed as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wounded healerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. People who read my book Journey to Wholeness realise they can do that too.

What are the core values that you try to get across in your work? Every single one of us is loaded with treasures of exuberance, creativity, imagination, whimsy, wit.

When workshop participants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;getâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this not as theory but as experience it can be transformative. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our birthright to EXpress (instead of DEpress) our inherent treasures. In fact we MUST express them.

Not to express is to whither. Just look around us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the disease, lethargy, depression, deterioration, dysfunction.

What do you think are the main things that tend to hold people back? Fear. Fear of looking foolish, fear of not fitting in, fear of standing out, fear of doing it wrong, fear of disapproval, fear of letting go, fear of speaking without thinking, fear that if they are having fun, their customers/clients/family will think they are being irresponsible (this is very common with workshop participants).

Also, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

What should we expect for your workshop at Starlight? Lots of laughter. Surprise yourself with: (1) your inherent creativity and wit; (2) quickly, easily and enjoyably connecting with a roomful of strangers; (3) effortlessly changing stressed to relaxed energy; (4) physical changes; and (5) deepening self-awareness.

Barbara Brewster' s workshop, Power of Play, is on Easter Monday 1 April, from 1-3pm, at the Starlight Wellbeing Expo in Bangalow. No booking is required for this workshop.

Or if I were walking through a park at night and a man with a giant erection and a knife jumped out from behind a bush and said ‘You better run bitch because I’m going to rape and See Mandy live at murder you’.

The other day I was at my son’s school when the principal I would run for a lot of money. Like that movie with Robert announced the kids were about to take off on their annual fun Redford where he offered Woody Harrelson $1 million to sleep run. There’re two words that I wouldn’t have thought to put with Demi Moore. Personally I would have done it for $10, but if together – fun and run. In fact I would even go so far to say that he wanted to see me run as well I’d want the full mill. The other prefixing run with fun could put you at risk of being sued for day it was raining and I tried to run to the car but realised I wasn’t misleading advertising. At no point during a run, or any attempt wearing a bra and the pain of the pendulous momentum of my to move my feet in a swift and forwards motion, have I thought, bazookas bouncing up and down caused me to stop and walk at a wow, this really is fun, I should do this more often.

In my mind I still move like that. I thought that allowing myself to be publicly humiliated might be good for mother/ a lion or a bear were to suddenly approach me in a public place,

daughter bonding. Turns out I was right. We had decided to try and fly my four year old Ivy’s kite. In order for the kite to have liftoff, it is necessary for the kite launcher to run against the wind.

Or so I’ve been told. I’ve never actually successfully flown a kite in my life, but I am not about to tell my kids that!

After watching the kids fail in their attempts to get the kite airborne, I offered to show them how it’s done. I should have stayed sitting down. I waited for a gust and then I bolted across the field. Well, in my mind I bolted. In reality I staggered forward and then I fell. If I were a car, you’d say I was stuck in first. Or worse, that I’m stuck in neutral. As a woman you’d be more accurate if you just said I’d let myself go.

My daughter was in hysterics. She never laughs at any of my jokes. To her all my jokes are either disgusting or lame or both.

Apparently my running was the goods. She reckons that when I run I am concentrating so hard that I bite my lip and stick my tongue out. So I not only look uncoordinated I look mentally deranged.

I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I wasn’t contorting my face in my attempt to gain extra speed; it was because I was having to apply super focus onto activating my pelvic floor so I didn’t wet myself. And that reminds me of the only other place I’d consider running to. The toilet.

By 10 I started to realise that I was not as sick as I thought – the pain I experienced when I walked into a room full of people was my picking up on others’ ills.

How does your psychic awareness present itself for you? Is it visual, auditory etc? I see, I hear, I smell, I taste, I touch, I feel and I just know. Because I studied what was happening to me for so long I have been able to develop my abilities into many different talents.

There are a lot of psychic tools in my toolbox, so that if people have a problem I can use exactly what is needed to get the job done and the problem fixed.

Does that ever bother you? The fact that you have to prove that your intuition is real? Once people have a reading with me they know. I love reading for sceptics, it really makes them rethink things unless they are totally belligerent.

Can anyone be a medium? Everyone is but most hide from it.

If someone on the other side wants to get a message to their relatives, but the relatives are too afraid to listen or don’t know how to tune in, then a medium, ‘which means being in the middle,’ can help. It is impossible for us to not have spirit around us all the time. If there is no spirit we cannot live. In any given room ant any time there are thousands of spirits. I can teach people how to sort through this spiritual white noise and tune into the messages that are important.

s r a t S WITH LILITH Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realise that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art, says Aries Maya Angelou.

This week’s Sun, Mars, Venus and Uranus in Aries, plus Libra full moon fully agree…

E ARIES: This week’s full moon of teamwork reminds us that while power struggles in love, friendship and business are inevitable, adversarial arcing up only provokes resistance. Whereas subduing anger into strategy, conciliation and compromise is the human equivalent of refining charcoal into diamonds – your birthstone.

F TAURUS: Someone, perhaps even you, could act rashly as this week’s astral pressure cooker provokes explosive reactions. Physically it’s a sexy transit, which can also increase the likelihood of inflammations, so a defusing program of whatever self soothing activities keep you calm, cool and stable is recommended.

G GEMINI: Ebullient Jupiter in Gemini’s a playful entertainer, but forget power plays right now – employ the art of fun shui instead to lighten up the present intense atmosphere for those around you.

And while fascinating distractions beckon, focus on essentials is this week’s key to success.

H CANCER: Been bottling something up? Then present planetary percolations could pop the cork as this week’s cosmic kettle heats Cancerian waters to boiling. Which could mean bubble bubble here comes trouble, or alternatively a sexy, steamy simmer…

Either way, midweek full moon suggests madness or enchantment – probably both.

I LEO: Don’t waste this highly motivated week’s passion on energy draining dramatics. If you’re offended by demanding or argumentative others, get over it because everyone’s doing the best they can. And this irrepressible week’s ideal for reinventing yourself, having a creative renaissance or making a mighty move forward.

J VIRGO: Saying Yes to everything could take you dangerously close to overload. Since you already know exhaustion isn’t efficient, use this week’s energy intelligently by letting it revitalise your body, mind and spirit while not taking its confrontational behaviour, problem personalities and childish outbursts personally.

K LIBRA: This week’s go ahead Aries energy certainly gets stuff done, though in the kind of egg breaking, omelet making way that may not quite satisfy Libran sophistication levels. If others are dominating or controlling, that’s your cue to clarify what you want and what you’re not prepared to accept.

L SCORPIO: So much Mars/Venus energy percolating in your private sector could activate a clash of agendas with someone wanting to push forward while you’d rather pull back. Or vice versa. Either way, it’s not a week to toy with people’s feelings, which are presently ferally fiery and feisty.

BOOK REVIEWS The Secret Keeper

By Kate Morton The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton was a really enticing read. Like Morton’s other books, she pulls you into a world where modern life entwines with history and the secrets that link them together make it impossible to stop reading.

While the mystery unfolds throughout The Secret Keeper, it will have you guessing right up until the very end, which is worth reaching as there is a fantastic twist which leaves you feeling very satisfied with your investment in the book. I would highly recommend this book, particularly to female readers Review by Erin Gordon

The Attachment Connection

By Ruth Newton Someone once said to me that the two great dangers in modern life are childbirth and modern psychology and the state of popular psychology books provides a particular form of proof for such a proposition. The genre is replete with personalised, unsupported, unresearched and unsupportable opinions parading as psychology. Books on raising children

www.echo.net.au

seem to be a particular focus for such opinion pieces. It seems that if you have borne a child and happen to be a celebrity (newsreader, model, TV chef, etc), you are uniquely qualified to write such a book on how to raise a child! No need to acquaint yourself with any facts, current research or understand the issues surrounding this most important part of human life. As a celebrity your opinion is worth a quick book.

With this sort of backdrop, imagine my absolute delight to come across a book on raising children that is solidly based in current research, is easy to read and helpful for new parents and older parents alike. Ruth Newton’s The Attachment Connection is just such a book. Endorsed by the world’s leading researcher in the neurophysiology of emotional development (Allan Schore), The Attachment Connection presents an extremely accessible understanding of the child’s experience from nought to five in the context of the current dominant theory of emotional development, attachment theory. Beginning with a chapter on Attachment Theory – what the says

These book reviews are brought to you by Mary Ryan’s Books Music & Coffee Shop 5/21 Fletcher St, Byron Bay 02 6685 8183 www.maryryan.com.au

and the how it plays the central role in a child’s emotional development – The Attachment Connection then presents a new chapter on each of the important age-stages. Each chapter has many real life examples to help the reader understand what the child is experiencing, what the child is learning and suggestions on what can help the child through each step.

The best chapter, for me, focused on the emergence of the ‘I’ entitled ‘I Think Therefore I Am – The 18 month old’. Beginning with reference to understanding the great ‘mine, mine, mine’ chant of the toddler, Newton covers the terror that often faces a child beginning to develop an emotional independence from mum. She presents case studies on families that struggled through this stage and how they had been helped. Newton goes on to show what is happening in the 18 month old brain and how s/he is growing and how that growth relates to his/her physical and social-emotional development. As a guide for parents, the chapter provides a list of new skills that emerge at this time including, of course, saying the word ‘no’ and then moves on to indicate some ways to cultivate secure attachment in the 18 month old. Newton writes

about the importance of redirecting, substituting and explaining feelings at this age and gives examples of each. She emphasises the value of using the word ‘we’ as the 18 month old is facing the problem associated with being an ‘I’. A few further case examples are offered along with a discussion of play at this age and what it tends to look like.

Overall this is a well researched, easy to read and incredibly helpful book.

Granted it is not written by a celebrity but if you can get past that stumbling block, this is a fabulous resource.

Aussie Body: Diet & Detox Plan

by Saimaa Miller February comes around just as quickly as Christmas to me – it’s the month I do my ‘Feb Fast’ to try and repair the damage from the festive season. No alcohol for all of the month which, as was pointed out to me a few years ago, isn’t that bad because it’s the shortest month – and you can give yourself special dispensation for Valentines Day. I needed something extra this year, my metabolism is slowing down as fast as my age is catching up. Aussie

Body came into the store and I was immediately drawn to it. Instead of just eliminating alcohol, I should take the opportunity to boost myself up with the suggested foods to maximise my detoxification.

Beautifully presented with its simple structure of chapters, charts and lists (I love lists) and delicious recipes.

I very much enjoyed reading other people’s experiences and felt that Saimaa understands the differences in bodies and lifestyles. I use the book for a reference when I want to change my old recipe to be more nutrition conscious and love having a healthy alternative to sugary snacks.

While I suffered through all the usual withdrawal symptoms, I have lost weight and cleansed my body. I have more energy and feel healthier. With the added inspirational paragraphs and reminders about doing what we all know is good for us, Aussie Body gives us a plan.

Saimaa Miller is qualified in naturopathy and human movement but has a special interest in nutrition and is a detox specialist. She believes in listening to your body and supercharging it so you can get the most out of your life.

THURSDAY 28

1. The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas (Prime, Saturday, 8.30pm) is based on the novel of the same name by Irish writer John Boyne. Its exploration of the horror of a World War II Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of two 8-year-old boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one the son of the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commandant, the other a Jewish inmate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; divided critics along ethical, rather than aesthetic, lines.

2. The ill-starred Australian actor Heath Ledger stars as the ill-starred Australian criminal Ned Kelly (Go!, Sunday, 8.30pm) accompanied by an all-star Australian cast in a 2003 Australian film based on Robert Dreweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Our Sunshine. The legend of the bushranger in home-made armour still excites opposing views among the families involved in the history.

netdaily.net.au see the Beards because they’re not just good four on the floor music, they’re visionaries. I want to see how many great songs Steve Miller The Break, The Cat Empire – I guess Band have, and they’re so smooth… I want to see if TCE can still dance then I saw Jason Mraz on Sunrise or and go at breakneck speed like Sunshine or one of those irritating they used to in their live shows five morning shows and he and the girl or more years back, or whether who was accompanying him were they’ve slowed down a little… and so cool and the song was great.

Glen Hansard… I love the Frames.

Jimmy Cliff – you only get to see a Jon Anderson’s voice is something legend like that once in a lifetime I want to hear up close. He sounds don’t you? And Status Quo? Oh, my so contemporary – it’s like the voice God, I think I lost my virginity while that’s so in vogue now. And Joan a Quo song was playing. I love Ben Armatrading – well Drop the Pilot Harper. I think I have seen him every was an anthem at my school disco – time he’s been at Bluesfest and I remember getting a root perm and have been transfixed. And I want to wearing my cut off shorts and a big see him with Charlie Musselwhite, orange bandana. I love the sound of and on his own as well. And I’ve the Lumineers – I want to take my go to catch the dude with the kids to see them because I reckon beard, Ben Caplan; he’s got that they have the Mumford magic; and Tom Waits thing going on, and of Mavis Staples, well I interviewed course if I’m doing Beards, I should her earlier this year and I think she

Nothing beats the Blues Mandy Nolan

T

here’s just too much good stuff on. I’m feeling stressed already just trying to make a decision about what I am going to see at this year’s Bluesfest. I don’t think I can see everything. I want to see everything. But I feel I need to choose. So I made a list. I went with what I know first, the artists that I’ve loved but never seen live, like Chris Isaak and Iggy and Paul Simon. But then there’s the amazing Rodriguez documentary and now I feel I have to see him as well, because the story gave me goosebumps, and Santana, I mean any man who can wear white pants that well gets my vote. It wasn’t until I started a bit of a song search that I realised just

was just about the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever interviewed – I could hear her goodness just oozing out of the phone. And I want to see Wilco because I missed their 2006 show and everyone said for months, ‘oh did you see Wilco, you should have seen Wilco,’ and I’d say, ‘No I didn’t see Wilco. Was it really that good?’ But I didn’t want to know because I missed out but now I want to see them so I can find people who didn’t see Wilco and go ‘Did you see Wilco?’ I want to see Xavier Rudd because I think he’s such a breath of fresh air, he has that shoeless thing going on and the kind of smile that would melt the grid. In fact if you lived in a house with Rudd you wouldn’t need solar or electricity – you could run the whole place on his smile alone. I love the sound of Kitty Daisy & Lewis – I’d never heard of them

and when I interviewed them a few weeks ago I downloaded a few songs as part of my research and then I wigged out and bought two albums. They are like the grooviest siblings ever – so 1940s – I mean their parents even gave them oldfashioned names before they were fashionable. And their music is smoking. And yes, of course, Counting Crows and The Beasts of Bourbon and for a gear change The Blind Boys of Alabama because I need my soul corrupted before I rescue it. I can’t do it. I can’t choose.

I can’t find my way. I need to be five people going over the five days to every show at the seven different venues. I guess I will have to make peace with the fact that the show that I choose will be the best show and there are absolutely NO bad choices at Bluesfest… xx Mandy Nolan

Back in 1964 Paul Simon became the Simon half of Simon & Garfunkel, creating one of the most important partnerships in music history. A master songwriter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that Simon wrote most of the pairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs, including three that reached number one in the US â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Sound Of Silence, Mrs Robinson and Bridge Over Troubled Water. At the height of their popularity the duo split and Simon embarked on his extremely successful solo career as a guitarist and singer/songwriter. In the next five years he recorded three highly acclaimed albums. In 1986 he released Graceland, an album inspired by South African township music.

In 2006 Time magazine picked him as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;100 People Who Shaped the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Among many other honours, Simon was the first recipient of the Library of Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in 2007. As a songwriter Simon explains the basic themes in his songwriting: love, family, social commentary, as well as the overarching messages of religion, spirituality, and god in his lyrics. Simon explains the process of how he writes songs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The music always precedes the words. The words often come from the sound of the music and eventually they evolve into coherent thoughts.

Or incoherent thoughts.

Rhythm plays a crucial part in the lyric making as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a puzzle to find the right words to express what the music is saying.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Paul Simon is undoubtedly one of the most important musicians of our time, an act that is sure to be unmissable at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bluesfest.

Plant is regarded as one of the most timeless and significant voices in rock music. He made his first commercial recordings way back in 1966 with music newbies still being drawn to his frontman magic. In 1967, he had also formed a group called the Band of Joy, with drummer John Bonham. Soon, Bonham, Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, and bassist John Paul Jones assembled to become The New Yardbirds, which became Led Zeppelin. Plant has since had a successful solo career, producing albums with Jimmy Page and recordings with bands like The Honeydrippers, Priory of Brion, and Strange Sensation. In 2010 he released an album with the Band of Joy, co-produced by his band mate Buddy Miller, which received two Grammy Award nominations. In 2011, he was voted in a Rolling Stone readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pick as first place in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the best lead singers of all timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Robert Plant will be treating Bluesfest audiences to some of his Led Zeppelin hits and if the set lists from his recent South America tour are anything to go by, you may be listening to the momentous Friends, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, Rock and Roll, Going to California alongside the sounds of his new project, The Sensational Space Shifters, which are said to be a loose band â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inspired by the roots music of Mississippi, Appalachia, Gambia, Bristol and the foothills of Wolverhampton and drawing on influences My 17 year old daughter wears a collected in a lifetime of Led Zeppelin shirt.

and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries.

Long before the category now known as ‘world music’ was named, Santana’s ever-evolving sound was always ahead of its time in its universal appeal, and today registers as ideally in sync with the 21st century’s pan-cultural landscape.

And, with a dedication to humanitarian outreach and social activism that parallels his lifelong relationship with music, Carlos Santana is as much an exemplary world citizen as a global music icon. Santana’s latest album, Shape Shifter (2012), is the first for his new label, Starfaith Records. The 13-song set is an instrumental tour de force long awaited by fans (only one song features vocals, by Santana’s lead vocalists Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay). The album also features Chester Thompson on keyboards, Dennis Chambers on drums, Benny Rietveld on bass, Salvador Santana on keyboards, Raul Rekow on congas and Karl Perazzo on percussion.

Carlos dedicated the album to native Americans,

acknowledging Australia’s 2008 apology to the Aborigines, and President Obama’s signing of the 2009 Native American Apology Resolution. He says, ‘I encourage any and all countries (that have not as yet done so) to acknowledge the first people of their land, and make this a collective global effort’. Comprising mostly original compositions that Carlos has been setting aside for such a project, the album’s sequence is as thoughtful as its track selection – the songs flow together as the magical sustain of his guitar and the spirit behind every note makes music that defies all cultural and language barriers – the music of Santana. Friday at the Mojo at 8.45pm.

Rodriguez There are few people who wouldn’t have heard the touching story of Rodriguez, the music sensation who fell off the radar for decades, only to be rediscovered when a documentary crew unmasked his massive following in South Africa where he was, believe it or not, bigger than Elvis! Still largely unknown in the US and Europe, Sixto Rodriguez has been described by many as ‘The greatest 70s US rock icon who never was’. We won’t be able to call Rodriguez the ‘Mystery Man’ anymore. The Oscar nominated documentary has been receiving rave reviews and has already claimed several awards.

Wilco One of the most requested bands ever to grace the Bluesfest stages are coming back. Wilco has that rare quality of appealing to people from all walks of life, from different generations and with opposing music tastes. Back at Bluesfest 2006, Wilco had the entire crowd transfixed. Once in a blue moon this type of genius comes along, and 16 years ago that’s exactly what happened. It hasn’t been a simple build for these musicians, though they accrued critical acclaim from the start but, eight studio albums later, they have proven themselves time and again to be one of the best live bands around.

In the 90s the band found itself at odds with their record company, Reprise, and the relationship dissolved in 2001, when they label declined to release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and dropped the band. Nonesuch stepped in to release the album the following year; it has since become Wilco’s top selling effort to date. The current lineup of Wilco solidified in 2004 when avant-garde guitarist Nels Cline and guitarist/keyboardist Patrick Sansone joined Wilco’s founder,

singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Jeff Tweedy and founding bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glen Kotche and keyboardist Michael Jorgensen.

Their latest release, The Whole Love (2011), showcases Wilco in a stunning new light, with bold rock songs, sombre acoustic ballads and punchy pop songs.

It’s clear from listening to the album that the production was a deeply collaborative process between Tweedy, Sansone and Tom Schick (Rufus Wainwright, Norah Jones, Ryan Adams).

The key to this album though, according to band, is that it captures the vibrant energy the band brings to their live performances which have generated their epic following to date. ‘I feel really good about the way the songs have all come together, and the lyrics especially,’ Tweedy says. ‘I don’t feel like I’m repeating myself, which is the best I think you can hope for after writing, I don’t know, a couple of thousand songs.’ Saturday at the Mojo at 5pm and Monday at 10.30pm at the Crossroads.

‘Delicious tones, new sound treats, love the vibes, great times.’

Counting Crows Multi-platinum American rock band Counting Crows are one of the most soulful and recognisable bands of the past two decades. With Grammy and Oscar nominations, over 20 million albums sold worldwide, eight Top 5 singles, and three records having broken the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 – not to mention multiple live albums and soundtrack appearances – Counting Crows’ success dates back to their 1993 debut release August and Everything After and the hit single Mr Jones. This year Counting Crows released their first album in over four years out

now on Sony, titled Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation). The album is a collection of 15 interpretations of their favourite tunes. The seven-piece honours global icons (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons), indie-pop heroes (Teenage Fanclub, Travis), compelling up-and-comers (Dawes, the Romany Rye, Kasey Anderson) and even their own seminal pre-Crows projects (Sordid Humor, Tender Mercies).

Frontman Adam Duritz says of the project, ‘There are a million great songs written every day, many on records you discover that you wish your friends could appreciate as much as you do.’ Counting Crows’ enduring critical and commercial popularity is easily explained: They write from the heart, challenge themselves, and still give a damn about new music. Dashboard Confessional, Panic at the Disco and The Hold Steady are among the many to count the Crows as influential, and the band are still the kind of guys who roam from club to club at SXSW, CMJ or whatever city they’re touring, simply out of curiosity and love.

Music geeks? Sure. They prefer lifers. Now these guys could bust your arse on Rockwiz! Thursday at Mojo at 7pm.

This is Chris Isaak’s first Bluesfest. I have to admit I’ve been scanning the program every year hoping that I’d find his name on it somewhere and, this year, Bingo, he was on it! His latest album, Beyond the Sun (2011), recorded at the legendary Memphis Sun Studio, is homage to Chris’s obsession with the glory days of the studio and the visionary artists who all got their starts there.

The list includes Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis – all of them discovered and nurtured

Bonnie Raitt Bonnie Raitt is more than a best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer and accomplished songwriter.

Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in American music.

While the first twenty years of her music career had its share of ups and downs, the breakthrough success of her Grammy-winning album Nick of Time (1989) shone a light on her gifts as a songwriter, singer and musician, launching a steady stream of recognition and respect by the music industry and fans alike. She has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall of Fame, has won nine Grammy Awards and been named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the ‘100 Greatest Singers of All Time’ and ‘100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time’. On her latest and nineteenth studio

album, Slipstream, these gifts – lyricist, composer, singer and musician – are honed to a fine edge. The result: a collection of superlative tracks garnering more respect and praise for Bonnie’s work that have earned her another win this year for Best Americana Album.

Slipstream has seen Bonnie’s biggest Billboard chart debut in almost 20 years. Rolling Stone describe the album as ‘… mood music with a razor edge, pain

fronting as bliss, delivered by a vet who understands that blues are often about just that’. And her music has reached across the generations, inspiring some of today’s hippest artists. Adele released a cover of I Can’t Make You Love Me and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon called her ‘one of our greatest artists’ during his medley of I Can’t Make You Love Me and Nick Of Time on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Rodger Hodgson

Jon Anderson

Recognised as one of the gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time, as legendary voice and co-founder of Supertramp, Hodgson gave us the timeless classics Breakfast in America, Child of Vision, Give a Little Bit, Dreamer and my favourite and what I once said to one of my ex-husbands, Take the long way home. His songs have stood the test of time. Sunday 5.45pm at the Crossroads.

He has undeniably one of the most recognisable and influential voices in progressive rock. As the lead vocalist and creative force behind the band Yes, Jon Anderson was central to that bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenal success. Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo show includes classic tales from his days with the supergroup and his ensuing solo career as well as the timeless songs from all across the Yes songbook and his own eclectic solo work.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I love the big ferris wheel.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jayden, 12, Byron Bay

Jimmy Cliff Reggaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest artist and third world music superstar Jimmy Cliff is another artist making his first Bluesfest appearance this Easter. His hits include: Wonderful World, Beautiful People, Vietnam, You Can Get It If You Really Want, Many Rivers to Cross and many more. His version of Jonny Nashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song I Can See Clearly Now is an all-time classic. With a legacy stretching back nearly 50 years, Jimmy is a multiple Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, lead actor in the reggae film The Harder They Come and has collaborated with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello and Annie Lennox. Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs have been covered by Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen and many more. Jimmy will be showcasing his new studio album Rebirth (2012), his latest 2013 Grammy winning album (Best Reggae Album). Although the two may seem an unlikely pair, Armstrong has cited Jimmy as his most admired artist and Jimmy says of the collaboration, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He reminded me of a lot of things that I had forgottenâ&#x20AC;Ś He brought me back to my roots.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Friday 5pm at the Mojo

Jon was the author and a major creative influence behind the series of epics produced by the legendary supergroup Yes, including such complex pieces as Close to the Edge, Awaken, and especially The Gates of Delirium. Additionally, Jon co-authored the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest hits, including Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Seen All Good People, Roundabout, and Owner Of A Lonely Heart.

Noted for singing in his original Lancastrian accent, this is a chance to see this truly unique musician perform solo, up close and personal. Sunday 4.15pm at the Crossroads. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I love leaving our young kids with a babysitter and drifting with my partner in a fantasy bubble where food, drink, herbal highs and top music are on tap without the need to plan, direct, drive or clean upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Luka Bloom will be their very first visit to our shores and we can’t wait to see their contagious amalgamation of heart-swelling stomp-andclap acoustic rock, classic pop, and front-porch folk live. Things have been moving fast for The Lumineers if their recent successes are anything to go by; a couple of sold out tours across the US, appearances on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien and huge Microsoft Bing commercial sync.

All of which have propelled the band into the mainstream – and it’s only early stages. ‘Bringing fiddle scratching, marchingband snare rolls, parlour-room piano chords, and Kingston Trio guitar strumming to an album that’s long on nostalgic reverie.’

Young, old and in-between, their debut self-titled album (distributed through Inertia) is getting a lot of attention across the board with their Americanainflected barnburners in the vein of the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons and their slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams. Once drawn in, it’s the live experience that has won the hearts of fans throughout the States and we can’t wait to get a taste. The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-

Joan’s latest jazz flavoured release Starlight (2012) captures the very best of her songwriting talents with intimate songs that have a confession like quality, as though they are being shared from her heart to the listeners, like only Joan can. ‘I write,’ she says, ‘because I love it.’

Joan has arranged, as well as played, every instrument, with the exception of drums, on her last four albums – which has led to unanimous, widespread and, perhaps most importantly, consistent commendation throughout this vast career. An evening with Joan Armatrading is an evening of pure quality, offering an intimate insight into the soul of one of the world’s leading singers, songwriters, true multi-instrumentalists and devoted humanitarians. Thursday at 7pm at Jambalaya and Friday at 5.30pm at the Crossroads.

instrument, and he uses them all, from a clear tenor to an anguished, grungy roar.

He commits himself to every song with a scary intensity, draping the melody almost recklessly over the driving rhythm from his right hand.’ Friday at 3.30pm at Mojo.

Michael Kiwanuka Here is a voice – timeless, rich, raw and soaked in soul, that simply can’t be ignored.

Though he may be only 24 years old, his songwriting is full of sincere insights and tales that belie his age.

He was nudged into the limelight when he supported Adele on her 2011 tour.

Since then he has won the BBC’s Sound Of 2012 Poll, released his first, much loved album Home Again and has just been nominated for the 2012 Mercury Prize (an award reserved for the very best of the UK and Ireland’s musical royalty throughout the years). As a teenager, being heavily influenced by Hendrix, Ugandan-NorthLondoner Kiwanuka originally set out to be a session guitarist. In his later teens, two icons helped him find his voice. A friend gave him a Bob Dylan box set, and Michael was bowled over by the power of a wellcrafted song, delivered with urgent vocals and an acoustic guitar. The second major influence was an out-take of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. His other influences have included Bill Withers, Terry Callier, John Martyn and Laura Marling, but it was Dylan and Redding who laid the foundations for Michael’s own rootsy, folkinflected take on modern soul.

It’s the unassuming ease of his echoing vocals and perfectly crafted songs that will have you brimming with happiness at the end of his set. Make sure you see this real, raw and achingly beautiful musician at Bluesfest in 2013. Friday at 4.30pm at the APRA stage and Saturday at 6pm at Jambalaya.

Rufus Wainwright Affectionately referred to by Elton John as ‘the greatest songwriter on the planet’ and praised by the New York Times for his ‘genuine originality’, Grammy nominee Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright, but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theatre, dance and film. Wainwright’s catalogue includes eight albums and two DVDs to date, and he has appeared on numerous soundtracks and compilations, as well as collaborating with artists like Elton John, David Byrne, Rosanne Cash and Keane.

His latest album, Out Of The Game, was produced by Mark Ronson (known for his work with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Christina Aguilera).

His latest recording, All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, was released in April 2010 to critical success with People magazine dubbing the album Critic’s Choice, noting Wainwright ‘brings the album to a beautifully intimate level with just voice, piano and some deeply personal lyrics. Bravo.’

He has composed the music and 11 original songs for a theatrical adaptation of Shakespeare’s sonnets with noted director Robert Wilson at the Berliner Ensemble, which premiered in April of 2009 and continues to play to sold-out houses, and travelled to various festivals internationally. In short, the boy is not only a snappy dresser, he’s a bloody genius. Sunday at 7.45pm at Crossroads.

Bourbon The Beasts of Bourbon are a fusion of blues-based pub rock and punk and, as their name suggests, the group has a reputation for downing a few bevies on stage. Forming in Sydney in 1983, the original Beasts lineup comprised Tex Perkins (vocals, later of the Cruel Sea), Spencer Jones (guitar, also with the Johnnys),

James Baker (drums, and a Hoodoo Guru) and a pair of Scientists in guitarist Kim Salmon and bassist Boris Sudjovic. After a few breaks and reformations and a number of band member changes over the years, the current lineup of the Beasts of Bourbon, Tex Perkins, Spencer P Jones, Brian Hooper, Tony Pola and Charlie Owen will be making their Bluesfest debut in 2013. The Beasts debut album in 1984, The Axerman’s Jazz, was recorded by Tony Cohen for $100 (The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds). The cover of Leon Payne’s Psyco that featured on the album made it to high rotation on alternative radio.

The band quickly became an underground success but, despite this, The Beasts continued to be just a side project for its members.

Fast forward 23 years and their latest album, the 2007 release Little Animals, arrived.

The album was recorded and mixed over three days.

Frontman Tex Perkins says of the album, ‘If it’s crap, the Beasts of Bourbon can fuck off. I’ll push it aside’. It turned out that the album was good enough or, as the band puts it, ‘it will kick your arse’. The band toured with the album, but then decided to call it quits in 2008. It’s been a long time between drinks – and we can’t wait to see what The Beasts have in store for us this Easter. And yes, we do think you’re psycho. That’s why we love you.

‘I love the boast factor. I can tell all my friends who live in Sydney and Melbourne that on the weekend I saw Paul Simon, or Status Quo, Santana or Robert Plant and they’re like what?!

Wish I was there. I’m like, yep, Well I live here. Not bad for a country town.’

Lil’ Fi & The Dirty Rascals

Hat Fitz & Cara Hailing from Queensland, the ‘wild man’ of Australian blues Hat Fitz plays guitar, stomps his foot and sings the blues with a physical presence and power that reminds listeners of past blues greats like Son House and Charley Patton. Alongside him on stage is Belfast’s very own Cara Robinson on drums, vocals, washboard, flute and tin whistle. She is one of Ireland’s foremost vocalists and has graced stages all throughout the UK and Europe.

The blending of prewar hill country and delta blues with traditional Celtic and early Australian folk has had audiences dancing each time they play all over the world. Their latest album, the critically acclaimed Wiley Ways, recently took out the award for Album of the Year at the Australian Blues Music Awards.

Often referred to as ‘Queensland blooze with a twist’ you’re sure to appreciate what all the fuss is about… It’s raw, it’s raucous and full of frenzied, almost-out-of-control crescendos that you can’t help but dance along to.

Their latest release Wiley Ways is filled with ample reasons to give these

Lil’ Fi is one of Australia’s most original roots music blues divas.

She is a brassy entertainer with a unique songwriting style, a retro-punk visionary belting out the blues with a heart too big not to be shared. Lucky Ocean described her as ‘an uncommonly convincing Blues-Mama… as good as it gets’ and blues legend BB King compared her to Bonnie Raitt when she received a standing ovation after she warmed the stage for him.

Lil’ Fi translates the blues, that gritty cry of the oppressed and abused, into a uniquely Australian hybrid.

She has won Best Vocalist five times at the Australian Blues Music Awards, released 12 independent albums and has been the backbone of many festivals over the years.

Welcome to Bluesfest Lil’ Fi & The Dirty Rascals.

VICTORIA COSFORD My mother was barely suppressing her amusement. There I was rapturously describing the visit my sister and I had paid to Mocan & Green Grout, one of Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest, hippest cafes. How entering it was like walking into somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. The big marble counter in the middle of the second room behind which two cheerful chefs churned out endless breakfasts while we perched up opposite them. The walls and ceiling composed of uneven, stacked timbers; the hanging baskets, mismatched tables and funky chairs. The brown paper bags placed on white plates bearing slices of rustic toast and breakfast eggs. The whole recycled, homely, folksy, cosy quality of the place which was naturally heaving with the most stylish of classy Canberra clientele.

Of course my 80-something mother is amused at the wheel come nearly full circle, at this nostalgia for the simpler life very few of us have in fact experienced. In my column last week I talked about Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest bakery, whose speciality is bread both organic and sourdough, surely amongst two of the most fashionable words today.

In this column, however, I wanted to talk about that other sort of bakery, the old fashioned type â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not only talk about them but also wax a little lyrical about them. Largely, because amid the ever growing popularity of artisan, boutique bakeries, holes in the wall with queues backing for miles as in the case of Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suburban Iggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, husband and wife teams at

farmers markets, these bakeries seem thus far to be refusing to die. Sometimes they are referred to as Hot Bread Shops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they can always be counted on for, apart from the actual bread they dispense, their range of custard tarts and vanilla slices, eclairs and sponge cakes, lamington bars and Swiss rolls, cream horns and cream buns.

Whole cakes piped with cream and adorned with strawberries and kiwifruit; meringues in psychedelic blues and yellows. Often Neenish tarts and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mushroomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and luridly green frog cakes; glazed donuts in daunting colours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and of course pies. I used to wonder if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the latter which keep these bakeries afloat, but when I chatted recently to an employee at a local one she assured me that it was the loaves of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; white bread that were the most demanded (admittedly by a senior clientele) and the cream horns and cream buns, which sold out every single day.

I gather that these wonderfully off-trend establishments are beloved of surfers, especially for the pies.

Lately the man I love has been bringing home for lunch salad rolls from the a local bakery and slicing me off a neat little portion from his generously bulging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not much more than â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $5 serve. Yieldingly soft wholemeal bread roll, tomato and lettuce and cheese and cucumber, all of which he tells me is assembled from the fresh ingredients upon order: it is so lovely and simultaneously such a relief to have an experience that is simple and ordinary in these times when in our pampered way we seem willing to submit to a return to an expensive form of peasantry.

Why it’s high time to shut the Vatican bank Sacred Economics with Lynn Stuart Parramore

It’s a place where angels fear to tread; where criminals, frauds and mysterious corpses turn up as regularly as rats in the metro. The Institute for Works of Religion, commonly known as the Vatican bank, was set up in 1942 by Pope Pius XII to manage the vast Vatican finances. Often referred to as the world’s most secret bank, the operation is run by a CEO and overseen by five cardinals who report directly to the pope.

The bank’s official role is to safeguard and administer property intended for works of religion or charity. The actual activities of the bank are somewhat different. They include money laundering for narcotics traffickers, bribery, skimming charitable funds to enrich priests, and tax evasion for wealthy Italians.

Scandals The scandals associated with the Vatican bank, particularly over the last four decades, are so sordid and improbable as to strain the creativity of a supermarket tabloid. The Church’s past offences of selling indulgences and charging fees for sacraments have been updated for the world of modern finance, complete with shell companies, speculation and secret transfers. Last year, Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi published a book, Your Holiness: the Secret Papers of Benedict XVI, delving into the intrigue and corruption swirling in a bank that has been answerable to no one. It was an eye-opener.

In May 2012, Pope Benedict XVI’s butler was arrested for leaking documents bristling with claims of financial corruption and criminal activity involving major Italian companies. The last Vatican bank chairman, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, was shown the door when it was revealed that the bank was running afoul of international money-laundering standards. Leaked material and reporting reveals a bank that appears to be a kind of rogue offshore vehicle favoured by various kinds of miscreants, including right-wing politicians, mafia types and tax evaders who wish to hide their financial transactions. Kind of like HSBC, only with God’s imprimatur.

Subsequent investigations have resulted in a shutdown of credit card transactions at all Vatican venues; right now, God can only take cash. In an attempt to restore relations with the international financial community, the former Pope Benedict appointed a new director of the bank, German lawyer Ernst von Freyberg, as one of his final acts. So far that’s not looking so good, as Frey-

berg has been revealed to have unfortunate links with a company with a history of making warships, including those produced for Nazi Germany.

‘Masonic’ lodge considered to have operated something like a right-wing shadow government. Like other Italian bankers associated with the Vatican,

transparent, or to keep on operating under the radar and doing all the shady business it can get away with.

If anyone thinks that the Vatican bank could be cleaned up, I would suggest thinking of the mythic Augean stables. Essentially, a racketeering entity has been operating as a non-profit dedicated to doing God’s work.

Jesus was famed for throwing the money-lenders out of the temple. In the Vatican, they run the temple.

The Vatican needs cash, and as its influence in the West declines in favour of poorer areas of the globe, there is no telling what else it will do to get it.

The bank has had multiple op-

Skeletons The same month the butler story broke, sinister echoes of earlier scandals emerged when the Catholic Church’s top exorcist (yes, you got that right) claimed that a pile of bones buried in the tomb of a notorious gangster – and church donor – belonged to a missing schoolgirl who was forced to perform for priests’ sex parties.

The gangster’s girlfriend at the time claimed that American monsignor Paul Marcinkus, the scandal-ridden chief of the Vatican bank from 1971 to 1989, was behind the abduction.

Whether or not that’s true, the years of Marcinkus’s reign were certainly unusual.

In the 1980s, the Vatican bank was involved in a major political and financial ruckus involving the $4.7 billion collapse of Banco Ambrosiano.

Marcinkus was under consideration for indictment in 1982 in Italy as an accessory to the bankruptcy, but he escaped earthly justice when the Italian courts ruled that his status as a priest and high-ranking prelate of the Vatican gave him diplomatic immunity from prosecution.

‘God’s banker’ One Roberto Calvi, known as ‘God’s banker’ because of his close association with the Holy See, was the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano. He also did business with the Mafia, and was found in June 1982 swinging from Blackfriars Bridge in London the day after his dismissal from the bank.

The death was ruled a murder, and is widely suspected to have been a mob hit.

Some years earlier, in 1968, we meet the shady figure of Michele ‘The Shark’ Sindona, who became a Vatican financial adviser despite the small matter of his past job as manager of heroin operations for the Gambino crime family. A world-class hustler who specialised in money-laundering, he was a member of the notorious P2 Lodge, a bogus

62 March 26, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

Sindona trumpeted his sleazy activities as the defence of free enterprise against leftist political forces.

Sindona ended up in prison for bank fraud and ordering the murder of a lawyer appointed to liquidate his Italian banks. He later died there after drinking a cyanide-laced coffee. Some say his poisoning was an attempt to keep him from talking about the sudden death of 65-year-old Pope John Paul I just 33 days after taking office. The reform-minded pope had been speaking out against the profiteering of the Vatican bank, and theologian Abbé George de Nantes, among others, has made a case for murder. (If you saw The Godfather Part III, you may recall a storyline involving the Vatican bank, organised crime and the sudden death of a fictional pope.)

Too corrupt to exist

portunities to clean up its act after noxious scandals, and has repeatedly failed to do so.

Andreas Wassermann and Peter Wensierski of Der Spiegel described the corruption at the heart of the bank: ‘Its business model depends on keeping things as shrouded as possible from all financial authorities. Capital gains are untaxed, financial statements are not disclosed and anonymity is guaranteed. The bank’s exotic status of belonging to a religious monarchy in a sovereign state the size of a city park has shielded it from investigations and unpleasant external monitoring.’

Here’s an idea: shut it down.

Why shouldn’t priests use regular banks just like everybody else? Why should a bank housed in a medieval defence tower gobble donations and launder illicit funds, giving haven to cheats, criminals and wealthy parasites? The Vatican bank is too corrupt to exist.

Right now there’s a power struggle going on in the Vati- Q Lynn Stuart Parramore can concerning how the bank writes for Alternet (www.altershould operate, whether to net.org) where this article was modernise and become more sourced. <echowebsection=News Extra>

Charles Eisenstein Colin Cook

Sacred Economics last Monday week was a tour de force

by Charles Eisenstein; the near-capacity crowd gave him rapt attention for more than an hour. His personal insights and experiences were paralleled by observations on global trends covering a very broad spectrum.

He observed that relationships and activities that in time past were just normal family/ community activities were being increasingly monetised into the ‘services industry’; he cited childcare especially, entertainment, sport and exercise. This is good for GDP/growth but bad for us as humans and community. Needing money to access the services adds another layer of difficulty with our present deeply flawed monetary system (see ‘De-mystifying Money’, Echo, February 5, p18).

Communities are strengthened when people need each other – and are weakened as the services are monetised.

Another insight, that we are all the recipients of such wonderful gifts – life, family and friends, air – that we are predisposed to generosity. However, the present ‘narrative’ that we are individuals, separate from each other and nature is obviously failing, the paradigm is coming to its end – as multiple crises arise; we should not resist this because prolonging the process will exacerbate the inevitable.

The present system is unsustainable and unfair and will be replaced by a system

that recognises our humanity and interconnectedness with nature. The transition will be hard, the end result good beyond our present imaginings; from scared to sacred!

For readers who remember Fritz Schumacher of Small Is Beautiful fame of the 70s, Charles Eisenstein is a worthy, and timely, successor. Schumacher’s book was sub-titled, ‘A study of economics as if people mattered’. Eisenstein’s book, Sacred Economics, is subtitled, ‘Money, Gift and Society in the age of Transition’.

Bay Rollers take on the Goldy Eye-witness to the deity in his church John Campbell

Nikki Nitro in fine form on Saturday night when the Bay Rollers invited their northern neighbours down for a dose of pain as their first guests in their new home at the Byron Regional Sports Centre. The final score of 196 to 75 going Gold Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the story of the game which saw much bone crunching action from the girls and the refs. Photo Tree Faerie.

All on board for the BK Easter Classic One of the most prestigious surfing events on the east coast of Australia is set to go, with the 38th Byron Bay Easter Classic to be held once again in honour of Byron Bay local legend, Ben King, or as he was known to his mates, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The event is steeped in tradition and, with thousands of dollars in cash and prizes, it is an event that every surfer would like to win at least once.

Local favourite Garret Parkes has won the event the last two years. WQS surfers from far

and wide will be making the journey to Byron to take part.

The competition will not only be Open Division with the Over 50 years legends a must for spectators. The 1978 world champion Wayne â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bartholomew has entered the division, and there will be some great competition with Ross â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roadsongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Marshall from Cabarita tipped to push Bugs all the way.

The field is huge in all divisions, and with cash up for grabs in the Open Men, Open

Women, and the Junior Men divisions, the best local talent will be doing their best.

With $2,500 first prize in the Open Men, competition will be fierce.

The event starts Good Friday and will go through until the Open Final on Sunday arvo.

Competitors meet each morning at the Wreck carpark at 7am. Some entries remain in a few divisions; for a last minute entry contact Jenny King 0414 858 132 or www. byronbayboardriders.com.

In the wake of Homeworkgate and the carefully scripted corporate-speak that came hard on its heels, the Australian cricket team has one last chance to salvage some respect from its farcical tour of India.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at Feroz Shah Kotla Grounds, New Delhi, for the fourth test match.

Admission is only available for the entire five days, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid 1,000 rupees ($17.68) for tickets to the south platinum hill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;platinumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, presumably because the couple of thousand uncovered seats have been draped with grubby white sheets. Opposite, a giant poster of Sachin Tendulkar adorns the red and yellow major grandstand, which resembles a multi-storeyed car-park that has collapsed in the middle like a dud sponge cake.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowd, for the first dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, was noticeably smaller than when I came to the Bangalore test in 2004, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all T-twenty now, with the punters saving their money to see the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. How attendance figures might be further affected if Tendulkar werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing is anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess, but the prospect remains hypothetical. Edward VIII and Benedict XVI got out of their gigs more easily than the demi-god with a willow

Ash knocked out but still time for Bill His mission, and he did accept it, was to interview Ashley Harrison after his milestone 250th NRL game when he stepped off the field after last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nail biter against Manly.

Unfortunately the gods of football had other ideas for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cadet sport journo, 10 year old Bill Harman, and in the 36th minute, Harrison was sent to the boards by Manlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Richie Faâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aoso.

Fortunately the behind scenes crew at Skilled Park saved the day for Bill and a visit to the dressing room and a surprise return to Skilled Park by Harrison made the ladâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day.

Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best day

that Alfie Langer and Brett Finch are the funniest guys heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with.

Ashley loves surfing and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he loves playing for the Gold Coast. He wants to be a financial adviser when he finishes footy.

Ashley thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for kids to play sport so that they stay fit and healthy.

I had a fantastic time and it was unreal to be in the dressing room when the Titans won and sang their song at Ashleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250th game. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bill Harman

will be allowed to leave his.

A dozen or so fellow Australian tragics have made the journey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we are easily identifiable because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only blokes wearing shorts. Blue denim on young guys and sweaty black polyester on older is the prevailing fashion. Noticeable is the absence of cotton lunghis, unless you count the little fellow selling bhel puri for 40 rupees a bowl.

The black and white, manually operated scoreboard displays Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s XI. Nobody wants to put the boot in, but really, with M J Clarke returning to the Shire with his crook back, this is close to the weakest test side I can recall since G N Yallopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mob were served up on a platter to J M B Brearleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poms back in the seventies.

The Indians, leading 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0 in the series, swaggered on to the field, every inch believing in themselves as gods in their homeland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the long-haired, preening Ishant Sharma the worst of them. Tosser.

Australia are 2/94, when the players go to lunch. In the circumstances, given the collapses that have preceded this innings, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad, but there was a nagging feeling that, whatever we got the Indians would better it by 200. Incredibly, during the break, coach Mickey Arthur has some of the boys out doing fielding drills. Not a sight to inspire confidence.

The Australians bat as if they are fearful of causing offence to their hosts by beating the tripe out of them. Warner goes after facing one ball. He trudges back to the pavilion, clearly wishing that he is headed to the departure lounge at Delhi

Airport. With his every step, the ever-present braminy kites swoop a little lower, closer sensing more carrion to feed on. Cowan, patient and faux laconic, is restrained, watching and waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball that will get him out. Hughes slashes fours without ever convincing.

Watson, captaining the side, enters the fray with all the imperium of Dudley Doright.

One wonders what S K Warne, as a member of teams that included giants such as Waugh, Gilchrist and McGrath, would make of the plight of the Baggy Green. He is on the balcony of the nobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stand, tweeting and smoking.

The mob rubbernecks him, crying Warnie! Warnie! The blonde bombshell waves to them regally.

The loudest roar, however, is for Sachin Tendulkar. He is hardly ever seen in the field, being positioned in spots rarely visited by the ball. But late in the day, M S Dhoni moves him to the boundary at deep square-leg. The crowd in the bleachers race to the fence, drawn to him like tin shards to a magnet. Wanting to be near him, to be seen by him, they roar ecstatically. It is phenomenal.

At the time of writing, thanks to a rearguard action by our tail-enders and a fivewicket haul to N Lyon, the good guys have, surprised us all by making a fight of it.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but it was worth being here to witness the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to Tendulkarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismissal, plumb lbw. You could have heard a pin drop.

A god with feet of clay after all.

Little green people from outer space: labelling Christine Milne and co In The Conversation theconversation.edu.au, Shaun Crowe examines the media’s fascination with the extraterrestrial origins of a slightly leftish political party. dam Bandt, Christine Milne and Richard Di Natale don’t walk this planet, says The Daily Telegraph.

The Daily Telegraph isn’t known for holding back. As Stephen Conroy discovered in an already infamous front page, if you’re in its firing line, you’ll know it. It’s a world where a relatively pragmatic media policy is enough to get you compared to mass murderers.

So when The Daily Telegraph depicted Greens MPs as invading aliens, it’s safe to say it wasn’t a friendly allusion to Steven Spielberg’s E.T. While Spielberg’s film suggested that, beneath the surface, the alien and the human are fundamentally alike, The Daily Telegraph was implying a brand of Greens radicalism far beyond the mainstream.

Across its coverage of Christine Milne’s decision to cut her formal alliance with Labor, the newspaper’s stance was clear: the Greens were merely confirming their position as extraterrestrial extremists, divorced from conventional reality and ideology.

‘The Greens’, The Daily Telegraph editorialised, ‘inhabit a planet far from any galaxy that the electorate might recognise as real’.

Regular columnist Joe Hildebrand made this point more bombastically on Sky News. The party, he argued, comprises ‘lunatics, imbeciles and undergraduates … They should get up, get on the next boat to Cuba and leave the rest of us normal people alone’.

Of course, such a response is both unsurprising and, in its way, understandable. The Greens and The Daily Telegraph tend not to overlap in either style or ideology. Where research by Ariadne Vromen found that Greens members are likely to be philosophically ‘post-material’, The Daily Telegraph maintains a solidly material focus on its readers’ aspirations. In the political solar system, the organisations do indeed occupy different planets.

What is perhaps more interesting, and certainly more significant, is the way Labor have echoed this formula, though in a subtly different way. Where The Daily Telegraph emphasised the Greens’ departure from mainstream values, the ALP has tended to focus on the Greens’ approach to mainstream governance.

The former has accused them of being extreme; the latter has 660 472 or Brian 0407 358 717 for more details.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Renovators and home buyers target clever use of space Renovators have become increasingly aware of the need for clever use space in their renovations, according to Archicentre, the building design, inspection and advice service of the Australian Institute of Architects.

Ian Agnew from Archicentre said, ‘With the increasing trend towards affordable design and clutter-free living space and its clever use has become a premium design factor as people seek to maximise value for money and look for a less crowded interior design.

‘In the current economic climate the cost of relocating is seeing second and even third home buyers staying put and spending their money directly on renovations to improve their lifestyle and the value of

their most important asset.’

Mr Agnew said that the clever use of space within an existing building can open up a range of opportunities to improve the liveability of a home to suit a family’s needs and provide the opportunity to build in a signature ‘wow factor’ to increase their capital return when the property is sold.

‘The average spend on a significant renovation project, from the experience of Archicentre Architects undertaking design concepts, is valued at between $150,000 and $250,000 with many home owners turning to architects to deliver smart, cost-effective and sustainable designs for lifestyle needs.’

Archicentre is also finding

that an increasing number of astute investors are commissioning a design concept prior to purchasing a property to assess the capability of the property to produce a good investment return on sale.

Archicentre has developed a special section on its website http://www.archicentre.com. au/home-renovator/architects-advice which outlines how to utilise the services of an architect to add value to a renovation and save money through smart project management and choice of materials.

There is also an Archicentre Cost Guide to help renovators assess costs.

‘Despite the relative attractiveness of house purchase implied by these figures, transactions activity on the ground is very sluggish. This underlines the need for stronger interventions from the RBA in terms of interest rates and from the government with regard to the

heavy taxation of home purchase.’

Housing affordability surged again in the December 2012 quarter, driven by earnings growth, interest rate cuts and weak price developments, according to the Housing Industry Association.

The HIA-CBA Housing Affordability Index increased by 5.5 per cent in the December 2012 quarter, representing an 18.4 per cent advance on the same period of 2011.

‘This is the eighth consecutive quarter of increase in the index, bringing it close to levels not seen since the depths of the GFC during 2009,’ said HIA

‘This has been driven by the weakness of price developments as well as the two cash rate reductions effected by the RBA in the final quarter. Continued growth in earnings has also served to make housing more affordable.

The Echo to some extent will be celebrating the feast of the goddess Eostre this coming weekend, at least with ritual sacrifices of chocolate rabbits. Both our Byron and Mullum offices will be closed on Friday March 29, but the Mullum office will be open on Monday April 1, when we celebrate the feast of the April Fool, which this year might be Simon Crean. The paper will come out ‘as normal’ on Tuesday April 2. Echonetdaily will have a bumper issue on Thursday March 28, but no issue on the Friday.

Trash tabloid TV show A Current Affair had to pad out its story on Byron last Wednesday after it committed crews and there was no violence in the town over the weekend.

The ‘report’ dragged up TV personality Rex Hunt, who eagerly criticised the youths who assaulted him eight years ago in the town; however, it was never established who was at fault. And repeating stock footage over and over again should ring alarm bells to anyone interested in fair reporting.

‘Rent-boy’ Renton in Trainspotting: ‘It’s shite being Scottish… Some hate the English.

I don’t. They’re just wankers.

We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers.’

Trouble in the Middle East is not confined to insurgencies and the Israel-Palestine standoff. That popular Biblical disaster, a plague of locusts, has descended upon Israel. Some of the citizens are solving the problem by eating them. The locust is the only kosher insect, according to BBC News.

Chef Moshe Basson suggests dropping them into a boiling broth, cleaning them off, and rolling in a mixture of flour, coriander seeds, garlic and chilli powder. Then deep-fry them. That may be a useful tip for Australian farmers. BBC News also offers some fascinating tidbits at http://bbc.in/ M3kOx3 in Denise Winterman’s article ‘Future foods: what will we be eating in 20 years’ time?’
