Bolger’s North Coast Holiday Parks debacle continues Brunswick Heads residents expressed their anger, disappointment, confusion and frustration last Wednesday at the state-appointed manager who is behind controversial plans to upgrade the town’s three public caravan parks and four Crown coastal reserves. Several local mums were shocked to learn from NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust (NCHPT) manager Jim Bolger that under the plans for The Terrace Holiday Park, public access along the Simpsons Creek foreshore, or even through the park,

will be closed off or restricted. The plan involves erecting a 1.8-metre-high steel mesh fence all around the boundary of that park, shutting out locals altogether. Other complaints by the public ranged from unanswered emails and phone call enquiries to Mr Bolger and a holiday park manager’s poor attitude toward locals. It comes as Mr Bolger has been appointed media contact for his corporation while also refusing to answer questions on the planned eviction of the Brunswick Buccaneer boat hire

business and a percieved conflict of interest, because his holdiay parks also hire boats. Adding to the chorus of residents critical of Mr Bolger’s management is Byron councillor Di Woods. She told The Echo, ‘I believe it was the most lacklustre attempt at community consultation I have witnessed, and was not transparent at all.’ ‘I think that it should have been held in the community centre, with a presentation to the community and continued on page 2

‘Money has never made man happy, nor will it,’ said Benjamin Franklin, ‘there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has, the more one wants.’ But money is needed to win elections; it buys you ink on paper and airwaves on radio and TV. And while incomparable in size and scale to state and federal election budgets, local government candidate donation and expenditure disclosures reveal the same transparency issues: donors can remain anonymous by contributing under $1,000 while fundraising event donations are also anonymous. As the political donation disclosures are now public, what does it cost to run as a party in a local government election?

Greens As a state-registered political party, The Byron Greens’ disclosure is not recorded alongside other parties. So unless you ask, there’s no way of knowing what was donated or spent. But Byron Greens treasurer Wayne Smith seemed happy enough to tell The Echo that $2,577 was donated to the party by eight local people, all under the $1,000 amount. ‘$2,000 was raised from raffles,’ he said. ‘The Byron Greens members contributed $7,000,’ he added, ‘and the total came to $12,018.10.’

As for expenditures, fundraising cost them $500 and advertising was spread across the two weekly papers. The Echo ads cost them $2,757 while Byron News was just under $600. $900 was spent with Bay FM and signage totalled $559. Other costs included $600 on a Byron Bay pop-up shop as campaign HQ. The Byron Greens membership is around 100–120, Mr Smith added, and he agreed that there would be more transparency if registered political parties disclosed reports locally rather than sending them to state branch headquarters. Mayor Simon Richardson, along with Crs Duncan Dey and Rose Wanchap, were all elected on the Greens ticket.

Cr Sol Ibrahim Cr Ibrahim’s Vision In Action team reported no donations of any kind except his own, which totalled $3,867. But the campaign cost $11,797, and like Crs Cameron and Spooner, he managed to secure only himself a seat in Council. When asked about the donations, Cr Ibrahim said, ‘I received about two dozen donations. All were below the reportable threshold from local residents who were of course not developers, or involved in gaming or liquor, as per AEC rules. And when asked who were Cr Ibrahim’s main backers, he replied, ‘It is a bit mischievous to imply that I or other councillor had “major continued on page 2

continued from page 1 followed by questions and answers with everyone being able to hear the explanation. ‘Someone mentioned to me that Jim was heard to give two different answers to the same question by two individuals. This makes it hard for people to really understand what is truth and what is fiction.’ However, Cr Woods says there is room for negotiation. ‘It is always the case that when a plan is being put forward that the proponent usually asks for “an arm and a leg,” and then negotiations take place. If we had honest and transparent community consultation, with Council perhaps as a mediator, then surely an agreed position could be achieved.’

Bruns Chamber But what is the business community’s position? Brunswick Heads chamber of commerce president Todd Buckland says, ‘In 2010 the Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce prepared a comprehensive submission on the previous Holiday

Parks Plans of Management, and proposed several suggestions and solutions for the various issues they had with those plans. ‘The chamber’s mission is, “To foster a dynamic local business sector, encouraging sustainable and innovative business development, in line with the community’s vision for Brunswick Heads.” Brunswick Heads has many strategic planning documents, including the “Taking Care of Brunswick Tourism Management Plan” and the “Com-

munity Economic Transition Plan 2011-2016”, to guide us in our assessment of what is proposed this time around. ‘Over the next month we will be assessing the current plans of management (POM) in light of our mission statement and see which of our concerns have been addressed and which suggestions have been incorporated in the new POMs. ‘We will be making constructive suggestions for anything we feel is an issue. ‘The thrust of our submis-

sion will be the same as the previous: we highly value our low-key simple pleasures village lifestyle. ‘We have always been a holiday town and we want to protect it by attracting visitors whose values are aligned with our community values. ‘We want our holiday parks to align with this vision, instead of becoming clones of the holiday parks up and down the coast. ‘We are not so naive as to think that all of our suggestions will be adopted; it just won’t be humanly possible to satisfy everyone’s wishes. ‘However, we will be strongly encouraging the final plans of management to reflect the values and needs of those who live, work and play in Brunswick Heads.’

continued from page 1 backers”. I think it would be quite obvious to anyone who reviewed my votes, and my carefully stated reasons, that I am not beholden to any backers, unlike some of the Greens of course. The Greens received about a third of the votes, and my votes were about equal to Paul and Basil combined. Clearly there are a wide range of legitimate community views in our Shire.’ Newspaper advertising was again the choice of Cr Ibrahim’s communication, with $2,655.26 being spent with the Byron News (APN) and $4,194 with The Echo. Bay FM ads cost him $1,560, Corflute signage was $1,818.30 and website $1,400. Cr Ibrahim also receives the ‘hippest candidate award’ – he put down DJ expenses of $200. QLD-based public re-

lations company Zakazukha also received $880.

Cr Di Woods The True Independents, led by Cr Di Woods, raised by far the most capital with 30 individuals donating $19,728 alone (all anonymously as they are under $1,000). Additionally, a fundraising event added $12,290 to the war chest, making that at least $32,018. QLD resident Tory Smith also donated $4,000 to the cause. Mrs Woods said of Ms Smith, ‘Tory is a supporter of the True Independents and wished to donate to our cause. A really nice lady.’ As for expenses, $13,866.53 was declared, which covered newspaper advertising and signage while a marketing team was paid $8,195. APN advertising totalled

$5,792.67, while $1,505 was spent with The Echo and a Saturday Star advertisement cost $275. Designer Tony Gooley was paid $3,916 and t-shirts and stickers were produced. Asked if she would advocate a change in donation disclosure given donations under $1,000 are anonymous, Cr Woods replied, ‘I would always agree with absolute transparency from all candidates including the Greens.’ But when asked if she was prepared to publicly acknowledge her major donors, she declined. ‘We had many donors who had their money returned to them as they were ineligible under the electoral ruling. We also had many other offers which were declined due to ineligibility. ‘We had a consultancy firm working for us who sought donations on our behalf and we maintained absolute scrutiny to ensure we had only legitimate donations that complied with the ruling by the Electoral Funding Authority (EFA).’ Cr Woods brought Crs Chris Cubis and Alan Hunter with her for a seat at Council.

Cr Basil Cameron Cr Cameron’s Sustainable Futures party had $10,696 in capital to spend, and ac-

cording to AEC records, it was his own cash. And while it didn’t get his other candidates elected, Cr Cameron’s expenditure showed a healthy advertising spend across all media. As for ink on paper, The Village Journal was paid $340, Bangalow Heartbeat $146.70, Northern Star (APN) $2,454.11 and The Echo $2,167. Bay FM was paid $300, while audio and video production cost $1,212. Unlike other candidates, he dabbled with TV: Prime7 and NBN were each paid $1,100 for ads.

Cr Paul Spooner The Community Independents party, headed by Cr Spooner, didn’t spend much comparatively but it was enough for him to be elected. While his records were unavailable on the Election Funding Authority website, he said the party’s income totalled $4,720. ‘This was raised through a launch event and some small donations,’ said Cr Spooner. ‘This consisted of reportable political donation of $3,010 from Graham Mathews and $1,710 in small donations. ‘Expenses were $4,783.95 and was mainly Echo advertising, printing of pamphlets and signs etc.’

The accident happened around 9.20pm and was attended by police, ambulance and rescue services.

Thieves target Bayside home Those living in Bayside, Brunswick Heads, be on the lookout: thieves are casing the area. Resident Wendy Bryer told The Echo thieves brazenly entered the home she shares with her and her husband around 9pm on Friday night. ‘My husband and I were both home when they entered and stole three bags and

my husband’s wallet out of the bedroom while we were watching television. I am just wanting people in the neighbourhood to be a little more vigilant and make sure that personal belongings are out of sight when home. ‘I would hate to know what would have happened if my husband had caught them in the act. Our property was

obviously scouted before this occurred and they knew exactly what to do. ‘The police were informed and there have been a few in Ocean Shores also of late. Again I stress the importance of being vigilant and keeping a watchful eye on your neighbour so hopefully these pathetic lowlife scumbag people will be caught.’

Major Byron development plans to be revised Plans for a shopping centre and underground car spaces in the southern end of the Byron Woolies carpark will be reworked after a meeting was held between the developer and Council last week. Mayor Simon Richardson says the meeting was ‘an earnest, open and extremely fruitful discussion’ with the Jonson Street shopping centre developer and his team. ‘From the meeting came the agreement for further discussion on design and ecological sustainability improvements.With the master planning of Byron Bay town centre underway this year, both the developer and council are committed to ensuring this building reflects and even leads how we want Byron to look, feel and interact with our community. ‘I thank Robert Badalotti and his team for their genuine willingness to create a development that is financially viable while reflecting community aspirations,’ said the mayor. Cr Richardson added that after listening to community feedback, Mr Badalotti said he recognised there was a desire for a softer building that impacted less on the central location.

Local News Wheelchair access improvements swallowed Rise and Bloom Move Yoga and Creative Dance! in the belly of a council committee For toddlers through Hans Lovejoy

What is being done to improve access and safety for residents and visitors who are wheelchair bound? Not much, by the looks. Resident Matthew Hartley told The Echo the streets of Byron Bay are particularly difficult to navigate by wheelchair and has been asking for improvements for years. The Echo ran a story on the topic on November 2, 2010, and Mr Hartley said at the time, ‘I personally am finding it increasingly dan-

gerous and often impossible to access much of the town.’ Hartley’s latest call for Council to improve wheelchair amenities reveals that it is now in the hands of a committee that rarely meets and who preside over an incomplete mobility audit. The Byron Shire Council Access Advisory Committee held its first meeting on February 16, 2012, according to Council’s website, and is chaired by Cr Di Woods. But money for the work is not the problem: section 94 funds are available, according

to the committee’s minutes. Mayor Simon Richardson says that after being alerted again about the problems faced by Hartley, he pressed through Council to get an audit of Byron and to instigate improvements but was outvoted. ‘Instead it was decided to create a committee. When that was formed, I then proposed to get the access in Byron given a priority, but was again outvoted.’ So far, a new draft mobility map is on the drawing board, which will include the entire Shire. It’s something that Cr

Woods pushed for. ‘I raised this particularly for the north as once again it was left out,’ she said. But as for completion of the mobility audit or implementation, no time-frame was offered by Cr Woods. She told The Echo, ‘We only had one meeting last year as we couldn’t seem to get a quorum. Hopefully we will have better luck this year.’ Cr Richardson added that new improvements at the Lawson/Marvell Street intersection were an example of Council works that has improved mobility.

North coast energy consumption down Carbon emissions caused by electricity consumers on the north coast are down for the second year in a row, according to new data from the North Coast Energy Forum. But the group warns that some of the factors such as milder weather haven’t so far been repeated this year and we may see a rise in consumption in 2014. ‘Our emissions have now reduced by about eight per cent over the two years from 2010–11 to 2012–13, from about 2.6 to 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 in the region from Port Macquarie to Tweed Heads,’ said forum

convenor Mark Byrne. ‘The electricity sector accounts for over one-third of Australia’s greenhouse emissions, so the decline in both peak demand and total consumption is good news. It’s in line with the seven per cent reduction in national electricity sector emissions after the introduction of the carbon price in 2012,’ he added. Mr Byrne attributes the change to a particularly high uptake of rooftop solar systems on the north coast, plus households and businesses being more energy efficient in response to substantial jumps in electricity prices.

Locals at Bentley, west of Lismore, met on the weekend at the site of the proposed Metgasco gas-drilling well to map out a plan of resistance. Around 80 people gathered, saying planned protest actions will draw hundreds to the grazing property in around eight weeks when the embattled gas company tries to set up its exploration well for what it says is ‘conventional gas’. But CSGFree Northern Rivers spokesman Ian Gaillard told The Echo the description is a misnomer as the controversial ‘fracking’ method of extraction was

likely to be used if the pilot production well finds gas drilling there viable. ‘They’re looking for tight sands (sandstone) which require stimulation (fracking) and use of acidic chemicals,’ Mr Gaillard said.

Exploration well ‘Instead of preparing an exit strategy from the northern rivers, where there is overwhelming opposition to CSG, Metgasco is seeking to use an exploration well to drill for tight sands. Mr Gaillard said road works and pad construction for the gas-drilling site were expected to begin soon and drilling works around March–April.

Time to tackle toxic ticks With the high season for ticks upon us the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) is encouraging pet owners to prevent serious harm or death by checking their pets regularly for ticks. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dog and cat owners must be vigilant at this time of year, particularly when travelling

to tick prone coastal areas,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said AVA spokesperson Dr Tara Cashman. In the last couple of months the Disease Watchdog database has recorded more than 350 cases of tick paralysis down the eastern seaboard and in Victoria. Ideally pet owners should

check dogs and cats daily if they live in tick-prone areas. This is done by running your hands over the animal to feel for anything unusual. In cats, ticks often latch around the back of the neck where they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t groom, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to pay special attention to this area.

Flickerfestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelling show hits town Celebrating 23 years of shortfilm excellence, Flickerfest brings this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings to the northern rivers from January 24 to 26. Now in its 16th year, the festival screens film shorts from the Byron region, Australia and around the world, and is held over three days at

the Bangalow A&I Hall. Co-organiser Shane Rennie says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Over 2,300 entries were received this year, and only the top 106 shorts have been selected in official competition; all handpicked to represent the most innovative, creative and cuttingedge short films being pro-

duced in the world today.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Highlights of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival include David Bradbury â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â Keep The Camera Rolling, Lismore CSG doco Knitting Nanas, and Vote Yes, which focuses on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referendum on Aboriginal rights in 1967.

Page â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fails to support marine sanctuariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Prominent north coast ecologist Dailan Pugh has criticised local state MP Don Page for not being willing to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heed the scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and stand up for local marine parks. The broadside follows the release of a statement of support for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine parks after the government moved to allow amateur

anglers to fish in breeding grounds and aggregation sites late last year. The statement was signed by more than 220 of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine scientists. Mr Pugh told Echonetdaily, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our local member, Don Page, has shown that he is not willing to heed the science and stand up for re-

instatement of protection for The Moat at Lennox Head, part of the coastline adjoining the Broken Head Nature Reserve, the dolphin nursery off Wategos, the sea adjacent to the shorebird nursery and roost at the mouth of Belongil Creek or part of the beach adjacent to the Tyagarah Nature Reserve.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Christopher must try harder in class

Volume 28 #32

January 21, 2014

Bureaucrats behaving badly We should stop pussyfooting around and name North Coast Holiday Parks for what it is: a vehicle designed to steal public land and lock it up for the benefit of a cabal of bureaucrats. The instructions may not read ‘steal’, they may say ‘maximise profits’, but the intention is clear. At least in English feudal times when the barons told their henchmen to fence the commons off from the people they used plain language. Taking away the foreshore in Brunswick Heads is arguably unlawful and unarguably immoral, and the more one looks at this shoddy mess the more the questions multiply. Whose idea was it to create an entity to deprive local councils of caravan parks and divert their income to the state? It began to happen when Tony Kelly was lands minister, that same Tony Kelly who was sacked after ICAC in another matter found him to have acted corruptly. How did Jim Bolger, a relatively junior council worker, rise through the corporate ranks to front the operation? How can regulations relating to the foreshore be so airily dismissed, and their very existence denied? What legal sleight of hand has taken a complex, interlocking mesh of government bodies that are supposed to protect Crown land for the common good, and produced a policy of greed and indifference that is directly opposed to the protection of the land and the interests of the people? What Bolger relies on, and what Byron Shire Council evidently fears, is that no matter how much local residents complain the state government will push his plan through. The only man who can act effectively is local MP and minister Don Page. If he remains true to his oath of office and the people who voted for him he can stop this injustice proceeding further. Well, Don, are you on the side of the liars or the people? Q Submissions can be sent to: NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust, PO Box 647, Ballina, NSW 2478 or by email to: secretary@ nswchpt.com.au.

e grateful for small mercies. It has belatedly been revealed that education minister Christopher Pyne’s review of the national schools curriculum will not be left solely to his two hand-picked cultural warriors of the extreme right. They now say that they will co-opt experts in every field, as well as calling for submissions from all the state and territory curriculum authorities, the independent and Catholic schools, principals, teachers and parents – just about everyone, in fact, except the students themselves. In effect they will be starting again from scratch, and since the process of evolving the original curriculum took several years, Pyne’s ambition to see the results of his review incorporated in the curriculum for this teaching year seems unlikely to be realised. Indeed, state authorities in New South Wales, to name but one state, have dismissed the idea as fanciful. But then, perhaps this was never Pyne’s real purpose. When he announced the review, it was couched in terms of the need to arrest Australia’s slump in the global education stakes. From being in the front rank a few years ago, the country is now among the also-rans, having slipped behind many Asian countries and also some Europeans, notably the Scandinavians. The drop was particularly apparent in science and mathematics. It was this decline that made the review so urgent. But after drawing breath, all Pyne really wanted to talk about was the history syllabus, which, he complained in the now familiar conservative whinge, contained too much Asia and Aborigines and not enough Anzac Day and business success stories. And his two enforcers chimed in vigorously. One of them, Kevin Donnelly, even mused on the need to teach eve-

rything in terms of the JudeoChristian culture, which he believes is somehow the basis of western civilisation – the Greeks, Romans and Arabs are presumably creatures of myth. The other, Kenneth Wiltshire, is not quite as extreme but is a firm adherent to the Tory agenda – in favour of strong border protection, against gay marriage and mining taxes. In 2010 he urged the independent MPs to support Tony Abbott rather than Julia Gillard,

about how the education system is getting wrecked by left-wing teachers bent on undermining traditional Australian society and its Judeo-Christian values. Defending his appointment last week Donnelly dismissed a question about whether he was actually a member of the Liberal Party as ‘not relevant’. Wiltshire, whose expertise has been in the broad field of public administration, at least has some experience in curricu-

It is hard to see this ideologically driven review coming up with big improvements. by Mungo MacCallum selectively and deceptively quoting Edmund Burke as an authority. On the current political spectrum, both men are well to the right of the soupspoon, which is clearly the main qualification Pyne was after for his foray into the history wars. But on paper at least, that’s about where it begins and ends. When Donnelly had a real job, he taught English at a secondary school, which means he has some credentials when it comes to reviewing the English syllabus; but he has absolutely no background in what are supposedly the serious problem areas of maths and science. Since quitting teaching Donnelly has worked as chief of staff for Kevin Andrews when the Howard minister was in charge of implementing WorkChoices; and he has set up a think tank called the Education Standards Institute with himself as director and apparently sole employee. He has spent most of the last ten years writing for The Australian, where he obviously has a licence to rehash the same article week after week, month after month, year after year – the one

lum reform; he headed a similar exercise for Queensland’s Labor premier Wayne Goss, a job which brought him into open conflict with Goss’s chief of staff, one Kevin Rudd. But once again, he has no known acquaintance with maths and science. It is hard to see this ideologically driven review coming up with big improvements in the teaching of either discipline. Fortunately, action is already being taken within the profession; science and maths teachers have been taking a close look at what has been happening in other areas, particular Shanghai and Singapore, and reforms are unobtrusively being incorporated into the syllabus in both areas. This is as it should be; sensible, pragmatic change coming from within the sector, pushed by those on the ground with the knowledge and training to see what makes a difference. The good news is that it will continue with or without political interference; this is what education is, or at least should be, all about. The bad news is that the bluster and blunder emanating from Pyne’s office might, if

not actually derail the process, at least channel time and effort away from it. Pyne has already been accused of using his review as a distraction to hide the coalition’s refusal to implement the Gonski funding model; more seriously, it may end up not by advancing, but by holding back, genuine efforts to improve the system. And in the end, of course, it may prove totally irrelevant, because Pyne has made clear that no matter how assiduously the review undertakes its task, no matter how carefully researched and evaluated its conclusions might be, they are, after all, only recommendations; all the actual decisions will be taken in his office, by him alone, so there. And this is the really bad news. However biased, prejudiced and politicised Donnelly and Wiltshire may be, they at least have at least both shown a serious interest and concern for education. Pyne, on the other hand, was not so much drawn to the subject as thrust into it as spokesman at a time when his Liberal predecessors had made a mess of the job and no-one else really wanted it. We know he went to school (St Ignatius College, Adelaide) and that he has four children, who presumably are, have been or will be at school themselves. Education has impinged on his life and probably still does. But by training, Pyne is a lawyer, and by profession and inclination a full-time politician – hence his enthusiastic revival of the bitter and divisive issue of the history wars. And as for maths and science – well, it is assumed the education minister can count up to 21 without taking his trousers off, but no-one has ever asked him to try. Q See Mungo’s video at

Greens funding Reading Tom Tabart’s letter, two things struck me. The first was a reminder to my diary that when I do retire from politics, to go quietly and leave it at that. Why former Greens councillor Tabart insists on standing on the sidelines spewing his venom and fighting his old fights is beyond most fair-minded people, as he adds little or nothing to the debate. And secondly, the sound of shattering glass in the Greens house was overwhelming. To be called out on election funding by the Greens party which has attracted some of the largest donations is totally jaw dropping in its hypocrisy. The Greens have been gaming the electoral funding laws for the past two decades by using an entire brigade of environmental and lobbying front groups to help fund their various campaigns. Our returns were lodged and passed by

The assault on public lands at Brunswick One would expect our public trustees to exhibit best practice and adopt the highest standards as an example to the private sector but unfortunately the new plans of management for Brunswick Heads Crown Reserve caravan parks fail to adhere to even the most basic requirements. Jim Bolger, administrator of North Coast Holiday

Parks, relies on a 12-month interim licence that expires on May 14, 2014 to justify the continued occupation of disputed, encroached lands. Byron Shire Council issued the licence with strict instructions for NCHP to exhibit a new POM within six months and the new plans were to include Council’s newly adopted boundaries and licence conditions.

Instead a new two-storey manager’s office/residence and new cabins are proposed at Massey Greene on the contentious Lot 7005 alongside the boat harbour. A second option locates the new structures on encroached road reserve land near Mona Lane – both outside Council’s preferred boundaries. NCHP relies on 30-yearold ‘exemptions’ to avoid

implementing minimum setback standards from roadways and park boundaries. Many camp sites will remain undersized and fail to provide on- or off-site parking. Children’s safety will be compromised by NCHP’s proposed pedestrian pathway plan though Terrace Caravan Park. The plan violates OH&S regulations and generates

conflict and security issues by insisting the public use the narrow (undersized) internal roads through the park instead of a separate path along the foreshore. The ongoing assault on public lands will have far greater repercussions for the community than anything our kids do on a big night out. Michele Grant Ocean Shores

the Electoral Commission and Tabart is fully aware of that. We still await the Greens’ and allies disclosures. Would the Greens care to explain how it came to run its very expensive campaign for council and the mayoralty out of an otherwise vacant shop in the Mooney family’s development in Byron Street? The Mooney family is possibly the largest property developer and the largest liquor retailer in the region. There is nothing wrong with that and they are entitled to run their businesses as they see fit. But many would wonder whether it was appropriate for a Greens mayoral candidate to work out of their premises. An even more inconvenient truth is that while or-

ganising his campaign from Mooney Central in Byron Street, Cr Richardson was also fronting the Dan Murphy’s liquor licence hearing, opposing the Dan Murphy bottleshop licence application alongside the other bottleshop owners, including the Mooney liquor outlets. Was that appropriate behaviour? Cr Richardson’s recent change of heart on the Last Drinks at Midnight campaign and his switch to support the liquor interests over late-night trading has recently been well documented by none other than former Greens councillor Tabart. Maybe this missing part of the equation could also be addressed by Tabart in his next acid-laden missive. As they say, people who live

in glass houses should beware of throwing stones. Cr Diane Woods Brunswick Heads

Bangalow DA The DA for a block of units and shops covering all of three housing blocks at 9 Station Street, Bangalow (next to the A&I Hall), is back into Council and the slightly altered design is as unacceptable as the first time when it was refused. The ‘project co-ordinator’, acting on behalf of the Sydney developer, was instructed, in his own words, ‘to design a building that would be more acceptable to the local community and the council’. It is his responsibility to work with the community and Council to design something sensitive to the future sustainability, liveability and character of the town. He has failed to do so. The proposed development does nothing to maintain the charm of Bangalow and does not contribute to the future character of the town. The bulk and scale of the unit block has no green space, and is out of character with the heritage precinct.

Letters

Support for West Byron plans Q Dailan Pugh’s commentary (Echo, January 7) on the proposal for West Byron is inaccurate and misleading and the landowners encourage the people of Byron Bay and surrounds to review the proposal for themselves before forming an opinion. There is no suggestion that the site be developed without appropriate contributions to infrastructure, including roads. The proposal includes a commitment from the landowners of more than $6 million towards the Byron Bay bypass. The potential population increases and resulting traffic increases mentioned by Mr Pugh are wildly inflated and provide no reference to his sources. The proposal documentation contains verifiable modelling from a variety of expert sources and show much lower population and traffic increases. More than 30 per cent of the site is proposed for conservation zoning. Cleared and degraded farmland would be revegetated and would increase the area of koala habitat and wildlife cor-

ridors, with a focus on connecting riparian areas around the Belongil Creek estuary. The ‘proposed drain’ Mr Pugh encourages people to oppose already exists and is regularly excavated by Council’s heavy machinery to provide drainage from the industrial estate. We agree that rehabilitation of the drain to a more natural state is appropriate to minimise oxidation of potential acid sulphate soils and the proposal would address this at development application stage. Those concerned by Mr Pugh’s assertions should review the documentation on the proposal – and the bona fides of the experts who have contributed – to see for themselves how all of these issues have been considered and addressed. Further information can be found at www.westbyronproject.com.au and the proposal documentation is on the NSW Planning & Infrastructure website at http://bit. ly/westbp.

Q I

first came to Byron Bay in 1969. This West Byron land release is very necessary. We need more land to accommodate people and to take pressure off land prices. The site is in a non-agricultural area which is very suitable for development. It’s near town and there’s the West Byron shopping centre at Sunrise Estate. I have done building work on that site and it is an excellent site to build on because of the sandy soil. There would be basically no truck movements to bring soil in and it won’t be necessary to cart fill in. There will be a minimum cost to homeowners to have their footings designed because of the excellent soil type. The West Byron development will be an advantage to wildlife as there is little there at the moment. New gardens with native flowering shrubs enhance this environment. There are very few trees of significance that need to be disturbed. It’s a flat, low site with no flood issues. Further, due to

M DRAUGHTSMANK BUILDING DESIGN HOUSE PLANS RENOVATIONS EXTENSIONS

its lowness and flatness it is protected from violent storm events. Most building materials can be sourced from the industrial estate during the development phase, so trucks will not have to go through town. For these among other reasons I believe the West Byron land release is essential for Byron Bay. Roy Blumson Byron Bay

Q I first lived in Byron Bay in 1946 and my eldest brothers started primary school here. I have been a permanent resident since returning in 1973. It is a natural progression of the Bay to have the West Byron land released as proposed. The proponents have done their homework and have undertaken extensive environmental studies. As a long-term local, together with my family, I think this application is a no-brainer and for the good of the community and our future it should be approved. Tony McCabe Byron Bay

Beat the heat in your summer garden

Keep your garden looking great in the heat. The Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano, marjoram, thyme and basil don’t really care how hot it gets. Tender ones like coriander and dill will go to seed more quickly in summer, so plant in semi-shade. Loose-leaf varieties of lettuce are more heat tolerant than their hearting cousins, so plant mignonette or oak-leaf types. Grow them in semi-shade and replant about every four weeks to ensure a continuous supply. You can put a simple shade structure over your vegie garden for the next few months for protection. Make your own from shadecloth supported by some sturdy stakes, or buy a shade tunnel kit which is easy to assemble. Create a cool feel in outdoor areas by growing a water plant in a large water bowl. Lotuses and water lilies are spectacular and are just some of the options. For heat-loving flowers think marigolds, vincas, portulacas, petunias, geraniums, hibiscus, frangipanis, bougainvilleas, allamandas, dipladenias and mandevillas. Keep garden beds well mulched, water deeply as required, and your garden will continue to shine despite the heat. Eden at Byron 140 Bangalow Rd, Byron Bay, phone 6685 6874.

NOW IN ITS 23RD YEAR, FLICKERFEST REMAINS AUSTRALIA’S LEADING SHORT-FILM FESTIVAL. Curated by Bronwyn Kidd, who now lives with her partner Shane Rennie – of Island Quarry Arts and Eco Centre, here in the Byron Shire; the two of them have collaborated to build an impressive event that now thanks to the effort of Rennie, tours to more than 50 locations around Australia. ‘Byron is the first leg of the 50-venue national tour,’ says Kidd, who credits her partner with the organisational genius of pulling off such an enormous feat of touring logistics. ‘There are touring partners in each location, relationships with councils and local media. It’s a huge credit to Shane’s passion for film and for getting short films into regional communities.’ Thanks to collaboration with IQ, Byron is the only Flickerfest event that has its own film competition – Byron Shorts. ‘We don’t do them anywhere else,’ says Bronwyn. ‘With Shane and I both living here it is important for us to support the local industry and for the last five years Byron All Shorts has been an integral part of Flickerfest here. It’s wonderful to see stories being made here and of course that part of the event is a fundraiser for iQ, the arts and eco centre on Ewingsdale Road. For nearly two decades now Shane has been working on regenerating a degraded site and a unique community arts and eco asset.’ Some of the local shorts include Knitting Nannas. ‘The film is focused on the women in the CSG battle, and the knitting and their camaraderie. These are women who did a lot of the CSG protests. It’s a unique and creative approach to the

whole community protest against coal seam gas and it’s the world premiere of that film.’ Kidd has been at the helm of Flickerfest for 16 years, and her passion seems to grow each year. ‘I think the biggest thing for me is seeing the films coming through. If I weren’t passionate about films and independent films then I wouldn’t be doing it. To see things that are coming through that aren’t homogenised is really exciting. ‘Short-filmmakers are engaged and passionate about telling stories outside the mainstream and you are seeing things that are immediate. They haven’t had to wait seven years to get a script up or to get funding.’ Consequently the subject matter of Flickerfest is as diverse as the presentation. ‘We have films this year such as The Fence, which focuses on the Villawood detention centre, which was a hostel in the 90s where people could come and go, and all of a sudden our whole approach to asylum seekers changed. It is beautiful and moving, and stars a whole lot of Cambodian actors. Getting a feature up on that subject would be impossible. ‘I love that there are still filmmakers out there who are passionate about making these movies – there is a range of countries represented; being an Academy-accredited competition we are really engaged with the world – so you know we have films from Iceland or a Danish film set in Mali, or a FrenchChinese co production set in Nepal…’ The calibre of this year’s program is undeniable, with several films screening at some of the world’s most prominent and revered film festivals including

Sundance and Cannes. Highlights of Flickerfest 2014 Bangalow include the Australian premieres of the very moving and intimate short The Phone Call starring Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins and Oscar winner Jim Broadbent and Vote Yes starring Miranda Tapsell from The Sapphires, set in May, 1967, and focusing on Australia’s referendum on Aboriginal rights, as two women unite and come to terms with the prospect of change. ‘We received this year more than 2,200 entries internationally and across the world. It’s a wall of film – I narrow it down to 116; I watch about 800 of those films. I have a selection committee that helps weed them out and from there we put together and watch the recommendations. There are lots of handpicking – and putting together a program that represents the most innovative fresh new stories and discovering stories that aren’t cliche and that have something unique and look at the world in a different way.’ ‘It’s all about discovering talent,’ says

Kidd, ‘and over the years that’s one of the things that keeps happening with Flickerfest. We’ve come across the work of people such as David Michod, who did Animal Kingdom, Wayne Blair who did The Sapphires, Kate Shortland who did Lore. ‘This year for me The Fence is one of those that I found moving. The Chuck In also; Jon Bell from Casino, local Bundjalung man, has made a great comedy – so often I think people are used to Indigenous films being earnest and politically driven. He wrote The Gods of Wheat Street, which was shot up here; he is a real talent.’ The Flickerfest Bangalow festival will kick off with a glamorous fully catered opening night party and screening. Flickerfest Bangalow is presented by iQ Arts and Eco Centre as a fundraiser for this local community facility info/ program www.iQ.org.au. Tickets can be pre-purchased from 29 December at Barebones (Bangalow), Mullum Bookstore and Planet Corroboree (Byron).

No, Flannery’s definitely in cahoots with the salmon and I reckon they’re in some sort of secret fish/man liaison, living the high life on those massive grants, sleeping on beds of couscous, sharing champagne with penguins. Seem ridiculous to you? Well, its no more ridiculous than thinking climate change is a conspiracy, my Flat Earth friends. I might be hitting the crack pipe when I say this but the conclusions of Climate Change science are serious and immediate and the groups who are most at risk of becoming extinct are corporations, not scientists. Corporations have more money than governments, so who’s funding the propaganda trying to debunk Climate Change? Who’s funding the tsunamis and the bushfires and the floods? Sure they’re well dressed but I wouldn’t think a bunch of penguins had the budget. Wouldn’t oil companies, and greedy governments who refuse carbon taxes, be the ones who gain from disputing Climate Change science? Maintaining and increasing consumption keeps the profits in the bank in the NOW while we draw down over and over on our uncertain and dwindling future, hoping there will be some sort of solution so that Big Pharma, and Big Oil, and Big Rupert, and Big Gina can keep the dollars rolling. Or not, because who cares – they’ll be dead anyway, and who cares about a legacy for the kids? Billionaire Rinehart can’t even manage to hand over a trust fund. I mean who needs future when you’re turning a profit now? Climate Change, bought to you by human activity, not human (neither animal nor plant) conspiracy.

(Priestess, the Stills) in Sydney, the longawaited follow-up to Fires Under the Road is first and foremost a journey to the other side of the world, where spontaneity and instinctiveness were foremost from start to finish of the creative process. Delving into the band’s rich history of sound, influences and inventiveness, the album captures the GrimSkunk spirit with pure, raw energy and emotion; a whirlwind of punk angst and outrage, and the hopeful, almost hippie idealism of those who dare to dream. As always, the band allowed their environment ‘down under’ to permeate and inspire their music, inviting local Aboriginal artist and didjeribone player Tjupurru to perform and create freely on two songs: Falling into Shadow and Set Fire to the Nation; lending a dark trance-like and distinctly Australian sound to the tracks.

JACOBI AT THE SHACK After a long and seasoned career as a bassist and sideman to many, clocking up an impressive list of albums and international tours along the way, Bill Jacobi has more recently been settling into the north coast lifestyle and embracing the role of singer/songwriter, solo performer and one-man band. As a solo artist, Bill uses foot percussion, lap slide and open-tuned guitars, and a combination of finger picking and bassline-driven rhythm that snakes and rattles around songs both evocative and passionate. Bill’s songs emanate a strong sense of the groove and are laden with a down-to-earth honesty. Stories that bristle with humour and sensitivity – songs that are an eclectic amalgamation of swamp/roots, alternative county and hillbilly funk – that somehow manage to look back at a wealth of musical tradition, have a good poke around and then turn and run the other way.

Having established itself early as a way of life, music has taken Bill all over Australia; to Ireland, London, New Zealand, Malaysia and Vietnam; and on numerous tours of the European continent. Still often seen playing bass with Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides (www.floydvincent.com) or fronting his own band Method (www. reverbnation.com/methodmusic2001; www.methodmusic.net), over the years Bill has toured and recorded with a long list of groundbreaking Australian artists including Goanna, Shane Howard, Neil Murray, The Warumpi Band and The Stiff Gins to name but a few. Sheoak Shack Saturday at 7pm.

TWO BANDS FOR BANGALOW MARKETS

ZION TRAIN ARE DUB/DANCE PIONEERS AND HAVE BEEN UNDISPUTED LEADERS IN THE GENRE FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES. The band were heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture in the UK during the 1990s as well as being the purveyors of the finest roots reggae music during that period. They are truly one of the finest live dub acts on the planet and promoted the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing, which they perform alongside acoustic instruments. They were founded by Neil Perch in 1990 and • • • • •got • to ask him a few questions in the lead-up to his gig with MC Baptist and Mr Savona at the Byron Brewery on Friday 31 January. How have you sustained Zion Train since its inception? Hard work, dedication, flexibility and plenty of lucky breaks. What do you think is the enduring appeal of roots/reggae? Dance music that is good for the head will always have an enduring appeal. Have you noticed a change in audiences over the past decade? They seem to get younger, but that’s probably me getting older! How important are your live shows to building your following? Essential. What do you think is the most essential element in keeping a band at the top of its game for the length of time you have? Improvisation, change and evolution are all important. How do you manage internal challenges and conflicts? Do they ever upset the music, or does it manage to roll through? They always influence the music I would say, and it rolls through anyway just the same. What are the key messages of your music that you think resonate so deeply with audiences? Freedom of expression and the promotion of self-determination. What is the essence of great songwriting for Zion Train? Universal messages of love and unity. What should we expect for your Byron show? Top quality vibes and plenty of fun! Friday 31 Jan 2014, 7pm till midnight. Zion Train Soundsystem (UK) / MC Baptist (FR) / Mr Savona / Marz / Z.I.V.

Clunes sculptor and painter Geoffrey Cotton has turned cloud watching into an art form. His exhibition of sculptures and paintings Stories Clouds Tell is on display at Tweed Regional Gallery from this Friday until 30 March. Geoffrey Cotton’s exhibition has brought the WOMEN'S BUSINESS FASHION clouds inside. ‘I don’t know AND FUN NIGHT AT THE when I first became so BREWERY SATURDAY 1 FEB intrigued by clouds. Maybe it came upon me slowly, watching all those sulky Tasmanian skies of my childhood and feeling the emotional lift that the blue skies of summer and kids’ drawings of fluffy white clouds brought to me,’ Cotton said. Cotton only recently trained as a professional artist, enrolling at Southern Cross University in Lismore at the age of 55. In his final semester, he undertook an exchange to the University of Massachusetts in the US. The trip exposed him to very experienced teachers and practising artists, and the vitality of the art scene in nearby New York. Gallery director Susi Muddiman said: ‘Visitors will be entranced by Geoff ’s sculptures. They are evocative and atmospheric, ethereal in their concept and calming in their reality. They have such a relaxing effect on the view – they bring the outside into the stunning architecture of the building, adding a sculptural element to the gallery.’ All are welcome to attend the opening at 6pm on Friday. And on Sunday 9 February from 10.30am till 12.30pm, kids six years and older and their carers are invited to join the artist in a cloud-making workshop. Bookings are essential. Cost: Kids $40 (additional $10 for carer). On the same day at 2pm, Cotton will give for a free exhibition floor talk, when he will discuss the works, his inspiration, techniques, tools and materials.

The Byron Shire Echo January 21, 2014 27

cinema review HE ER Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are (2009) struck me as being more down than upbeat. Based on Maurice Sendak’s children’s book about a little boy living in a fantasy world, it might be argued that Jonze’s latest film features that same kid, only now grown up. The time is the very near future, and it is distinguishable from today most singularly by the geeky high-waisted serge trousers that men wear. Everybody is wired 24/7, including Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), who earns a living

by composing handwritten letters for clients who, despite the triumph of cyberspace, crave more personalised connection. It is a less-thansubtle irony, but it serves a purpose as we see Theodore fall headlong into the bubbleworld of hyper communication. Seeking love and affection and understanding, he finds it in Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), an OS (operating system). Jonze’s task is to make believable a relationship that, as recently as ten years ago, may have seemed both absurd

and undesirable, but which has, like a coma, come to virtually swamp us and radically alter our perceptions of reality. (When the movie finished, before the credits started to roll, the lights of mobiles flashed on as their willing slaves checked in for updates of whatever.) Theodore is troubled by his condition, but not enough to abandon it as Samantha, like Dr Frankenstein’s monster, evolves a life of her own. Stripped of its social comment – and that comment, admittedly, is in urgent need of being

acted upon – the story itself comprises not much more than ‘boy meets girl’. When the girl part of the equation is just a voice without a body, all the directorial skills of Jonze and the considerable acting ability of Phoenix cannot dodge the fact that you are watching rather too much of a bloke talking to himself. Important, for sure, and done with a lyrical dreaminess, but in the end Jonze has one thing to say and he repeats it ad nauseam. It’s too slow and way too long. ~ John Campbell

outrageous fortune adrift in a sea of crassness. Joel and Ethan can’t help looking down on people and, as filmmakers of the highest order, their guile lies in inviting the audience up to their lofty vantage point from which to snigger at humanity – it is a smarmy conceit that works a treat at prizegiving galas. Llewyn’s journey is book-ended by the bashing he receives in a laneway at the hands of a mysterious stranger. After first witnessing this, we follow Llewyn as he inadvertently lets a ginger moggy out of some friends’ apartment. His cross-city trip with the cat is brilliantly conceived and captured, as are

similarly contrived episodes. But it begins to feel repetitive, in the way that O Brother, Where Art Thou? did, without that pseudo-epic’s wit and warmth – indeed, it is as cold as the icy streets through which Llewyn trudges. Not that it’s without its highlights… Bruno Delbonnel’s cinematography is mesmerising, Isaac is a fine singer, the Coens have always been good at creating a Twilight Zone creepiness and the sight of a bloodstained bumper after Llewyn’s car has hit an animal is intensely moving. But a walk-out by a nearby couple is re-united with the cat, whose gave me unexpected solace. name, we learn, is Ulysses – if Having come full circle, Llewyn oracular is your pose, you might

IN NSID DE LLE EWYN N DAVIS If you want an insight into the disproportionately high opinion artists have of themselves you need look no further than the Coen brothers’ latest indulgence. After coming out of themselves for the sublime True Grit, the boys have reverted to their essentially contemptuous world view to tell the story of

a week in the life of Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac), a down-atheel folk-singer who has not quite made it in the bearded Greenwich Village scene of 1961. Llewyn is a fellow of no redeeming qualities, but, as per their standard MO, the Coens’ lens is focused through his eyes, and they make him a victim of

‘I don’t believe in God, and I think he can tell.’ Having just walked out of a church choir recital, it’s Steve Coogan as Martin Sixsmith, a disgraced journalist/spin doctor, who gets the best lines in Stephen Frears’s scathing observance of how loveless religion – in this case Catholicism – can devastate lives. That Sixsmith is the more conflicted, complex character in a two-hander with Judi Dench’s Philomena should not surprise, given that the movie is based on his book and the script co-written by Coogan himself. What delights is the chemistry – the warmth and concord – that exists between two performers who ordinarily approach a role from opposite ends of the emotional colour spectrum. Philomena, in her old age, wants to know what happened to the illegitimate son who was taken from her by the ‘sisters of little mercy’ and adopted out to an American couple fifty years ago. Sixsmith, needing a newspaper gig, agrees to help

her find out, with the intention / Will be to arrive where we the first time’. Too true. of publishing it as a ‘human started / And know the place for ~ John Campbell interest’ story. The flashback sequences at the Irish convent where Philomena and her child lived are harrowing, but what might so easily have tilted disastrously into self-defeating mawkishness is kept on an even keel by gentle, episodic road-trip humour as Sixsmith’s investigations result in the pair traveling together to the US. There is as well a mystery that is being solved, step-by-step, meaning that there is no time to wallow in bathos. But by far the most compelling element is the way in which Philomena’s tested but unwavering commitment to her faith works on Sixsmith as he grows evermore judgmental of those who wronged her. An outstanding film that hammers both the church and the Fourth Estate with an iron fist in a velvet glove, ends with Sixsmith, back in Ireland with Philomena, quoting TS Eliot: ‘We shall not cease from exploration / And N O W S H O W I N G A T P A L A C E B < 5 O N the end of all our exploring

Laurie from the Court House Hotel in Mullumbimby says that his biggest-selling sparkling wine at the moment is the Tobacco Road Prosecco and his biggest-selling red wine is the Sangiovese Barbera. Both are ideal warm-weather wines, and we asked Laurie to tell us a little more about them:

New look and juniors for Byron Rugby

The last of the old uniform. Byron Rugby will see new duds, new coaches, and new teams including juniors for the 2014 season. Photo Tree Faerie.

Forget it being the game they play in Heaven. For the momentous year of 2014, rugby is going to be the game they play in the Bay. Rugby in Byron Bay will see a new coach, new players, junior teams, new uniforms and a new committee, promising a year

of excitement for the former one-team club. Last year was a stellar performance from the 2012 Presidents Cup Champions, as they challenged the stronger clubs of the Far North Coast Rugby Union premier division finishing third on the

Shores United Soccer Club Juniors & Seniors Calling past, present and new players to come and be a part of our exciting club. Last year was a real success and a lot of fun. Our Under 13 Junior 2nd Division side became undefeated grand final champions. Shores United look to field three senior teams in 2014. The club has gone to great lengths to secure the services of Brian Hedge, who will manage our top level first division men’s team.

first-grade ladder. With many of the players continuing on into the 2014 year, a new committee has banded together to support the growth that is emerging through the club. Byron Bay will introduce multi-premiershipwinning coach Paul Jeffrey into the mix. Along with him, AJ Gilbert and his family migrate from the southern city to join forces with the players this year. AJ’s resume includes stints with the Queensland Reds, NSW Waratahs, and Melbourne Rebels, as well as Australian representation at the Under-19 and Rugby 7s level. Paul and AJ’s commitment to the club will also have a major focus on the Junior level. 2014 will see the in-

troduction of numerous junior teams, ranging from as young as five years, playing a modified version of the rugby rules. A Come and Try Rugby program operated throughout the 2013 season to prep young players for the season to come. More junior players are encouraged, with signon days beginning Saturday 1 February, 9–11am. Registration will also be available the following Saturday (8th), with a final registration on Saturday 15 February, that will incorporate a skills clinic, run by Paul and AJ. The Club is fortunate that many local businesses are coming on board with sponsorship, reducing the cost to parents for the child’s first season with The Bay. The Senior portion of the club has already begun pre-season training, which will continue Tuesdays and Thursdays each week from 6pm at the Recreation Grounds in town. The Senior season kicks off Saturday 5 April. Senior registration can also be made on the dates above, but further details can be found on the new revamped website – www.byronbayrugby.com.au. All registration and training details can be found on the site, as well as contact details for both the junior club and the senior club. In the words of the many supporters that the club generated over the past couple of entertaining seasons – Go The Bay!

New housing continues its upward march ‘The recovery is also being driven primarily by other dwellings (multi-units) rather than detached housing. Both segments are growing, but annual commencements for detached houses are nine per cent below their 20-year average while commencements of multi-units are running 35 per cent above their 20-year average. ‘This compositional change has an influence on the extent of the boost that domestic manufacturers and retailers will experience from the new home building recovery. ‘Overall, the upward trajectory in new dwelling commencements is still clearly a positive factor for the broader domestic economy.’ In the September 2013 quarter detached house commencements lifted by 1.3 per cent while multi-unit

The ABS release of housing data on January 16 includes crucial information regarding dwelling commencements. The commencements update points to an ongoing new home building recovery, according to the Housing Industry Association (HIA). ‘There was a 2.0 per cent decline in the September 2013 quarter, but over the twelve months to September there were 163,250 homes commenced,’ said HIA chief economist Dr Harley Dale. ‘Looking past the spike in activity owed to the GFC-related stimulus, that is the strongest level recorded since 2004. ‘The overall recovery in new dwelling commencements since the trough in March 2012 is still being driven by New South Wales and Western Australia, although Queensland is showing clear signs of improvement. Dwelling Starts - Moving Annual Total Source: ABS 8752.0, HIA Economics

commencements fell by 6.6 per cent. Accounting for the June quarter base, healthy gains in total commencements were evident in New South Wales (up 8.6 per cent) and Western Australia (up 4.0 per cent). The September quarter also saw growth for South Australia (up 2.4 per cent), the Northern Territory (up 1.9 per cent), and Queensland (up 0.2 per cent). Quarterly declines were recorded in Victoria (down by 8.5 per cent), Tasmania (down by 5.4 per cent), and the Australian Capital Territory (down by 32.7 per cent). In terms of the value of work done, the ABS release revealed an increase of 1.3 per cent in new residential work done in the September 2013 quarter. The value of larger alterations and additions posted a disappointing result, declining by 3.3 per cent in the September 2013 quarter.

Sep-2013

The LifeStyle Channel’s hit series, Selling Houses Australia, is back for its seventh season when it screens on Wednesday, February 5 at 8.30pm on Foxtel. Host and property expert Andrew Winter will again be joined by landscape designer Charlie Albone and interior designer Shaynna Blaze. Together the team will look into the issues faced by property owners and provide current and practical advice for Australians navigating their way through the real estate market. The team have their work cut out for them in this series, with 13 episodes, including their biggest makeover yet – a country pub in regional Victoria. In 2013, Selling Houses Australia was the highest rating series for The LifeStyle Channel. It was also voted favourite program at the 2013 ASTRA Awards. Season 7 features properties

from all over Australia, including million dollar waterfront mansions; an owner with pink and purple hair to match her pink and purple house; an historic country pub and every home in between that no-one can sell and no-one wants to buy. Once again, the team will pull out all the stops to turn them in to saleable properties with spectacular results. For example, Sally has lived in her parents’ waterfront mansion most of her life. The house has huge sentimental value, but she can’t afford the upkeep and needs to sell. But while some of the house is fabulous and impressive, other parts are terrible, which means it doesn’t cut it as ‘luxury waterfront’. So what sinister

secret is lurking behind the cupboard door that’s sending buyers running? Sue loves all things pink and purple. She has purple hair, wears purple clothes and drives a hot-pink ute. But her love of colour doesn’t stop there. Sue has extended her personality into her home, and her decorating style is leaving buyers’ eyes black and blue. Little wonder no-one will pay $2.6 million for her discoinspired country estate. And with a house the size of a large suburban block and

seven acres of land, this is a makeover on a grand scale. Ever dreamed of owning a nice little pub in the country? Think again. Barney and Barb thought their country pub would give them an idyllic lifestyle where they could work and play together; the reality was a 24/7 commitment working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day. The couple purchased the leasehold on the run-down pub in Alexandra, Victoria three years ago. They worked tirelessly to turn the place from bankrupt to the most popular pub in town. They’re pillars of the community raising thousands of dollars for charity, but their efforts have taken their toll, physically, emotionally and financially. Despite their hard work, the pub is struggling to make a profit and now they just want out.

A reader informs us: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I live in Brunswick Heads and love our pelicans. People feed them crap, white bread in particular, thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. It stuffs up their gullets and can kill them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not their food and stops them finding their real food.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, okay?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not news to anyone trying to find a place to rent but Australian Property Monitors has confirmed that Byron is a really expensive place to live, on average more expensive than Sydney. Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rental prices have risen 13 per cent from a median for a house of $485 per week in December 2012 to $550 per week at the end of 2013. We blame the surfers who discovered the place in the 1960s, or maybe it was the baby boomer hippie types in the 70s, or the wellheeled who came on board in the 80s and 90s. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have massive land releases and an environment that locals and visitors love at the same time in a squidgy seaside region. Affordability, thy name is Brewarrina: www.breshire. com. You can get an entire house there for 80 grand. Q Q Q Q

According to the urban dictionary we consulted, an apocaloptimist is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;someone who knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to shit, but still thinks things will turn out okayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It sums up a lot of Byron Shire magical thinking pretty accurately. Adbusters.org is running a Doom Diary, along with its The Big Ideas of 2047 issue, which forecasts a possible darker future. Given the cur-

rent accumulating environmental damage and humankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;abilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to response to it, how do you see the future turning out? Utopia or The Road?
