Data retention unable to be implemented and ultimately it will not prevent or solve crime or “terror”. ‘As far as I know, no ISP in Australia is ready or able to comply at the moment. It seems everyone is going to ask for the maximum allowed 18 months delay, as we simply don’t have the systems or knowledge of what exact data we need to retain to comply with this law.’ It’s a position supported by Drew Moorley from World Without Wires, an ISP based in Lennox Head. ‘The legislation is purposely unclear’, he said. In the 13 years the company has operated, Moorley says around five or so requests have

come from police wanting to obtain personal data.

Privacy is paramount ‘We’ve always said to them that we won’t budge unless there’s a court order, and then we just hang up.’ He added privacy is paramount, and that as the company has gotten bigger, so has the frequency of requests. And it also appears threats are being made by the government to silent ISPs and telcos who have been granted an exemption. continued on page 3

Market stallholders maintain pressure

Life’s circus, Mullum style

A local internet service provider (ISP) has told The Echo that to their knowledge, no ISP is able to comply with legislation requiring them to retain their customers’ data for two years and allow security agencies to access their records. Known as the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014, the law covers both ISP and telecommunications companies and is meant to take effect from October 13. TelcoGreen’s Ethan Timor told The Echo that he ‘strongly objects to the law’ as he believes it is a breach of privacy. ‘Data could be misused

Oh, the perils of rolling out complicated infrastructure projects on the fly. A meeting last week between Council staff, councillors and market representatives appears to have done little to ease concerns from market stallholders that their voices are being considered. They also fear that they will be forced to relocate after their March 2016 lease expires. The Echo previously reported that both Butler Street Reserve markets are in Council’s sights owing to its paid parking scheme, which is soon to be rolled out. Additionally, a works depot to accommodate the looming Byron Bay bypass has been earmarked at the western end of the reserve, which will also affect market operations. Council staff maintain that no final decision on the design for the Butler Street Reserve carpark has been made, and talks are ongoing. An e-news for stallholders has also been created for updates at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/markets-e-news. But Tane Allan, from the Rainbow Region Stallholders Association, says he is still concerned that his members have not been adequately considered and, more importantly, that his members are ‘not aware that Council plans this to roll out as soon as November.’ ‘Basically Council are doing what they want,’ he said, ‘but they have conceded a bit of ground – for example the works depot will be near the toilet block at the western end of the ground.’

Another committee member, Helen Burns, went further, telling The Echo, ‘It is clear that coexistence is only going to be our fitting into whatever Council decides.’ ‘The proposed car park at Butler St Reserve has now escalated from the original 40 spaces for businesses to 80 spaces. ‘The July 2015 meeting with Byron United [chamber of commerce] and Council regarding this issue well and truly quashed both ideas. ‘Now we have in place the new proposal of a paid carpark for public usage at Butler St Reserve, with space for 260 car spaces at $3 per hour, and capped at $20 per day between 6am and 6pm. With nary a mention of the markets.’

Covered with gravel Ms Burns says that Council staff advised, ‘80 per cent of the reserve would be covered with gravel.’ ‘This will have a hugely detrimental impact on the ambience of the markets; not to speak of the gravel dust that, by the end of a seabreezy day, coats every inch of stock and every inch of skin right down to the eyeballs! It will be ghastly. ‘This makes a mockery of mayor Simon Richardson’s overwhelming support for the markets as an iconic Byron event and significant contributor to the local economy – as was pitched to stallholders at the Community Centre meeting on August 5, which was also attended by Council’s Phil Warner, Cr Paul Spooner and market management.’ continued on page 2

Knifepoint robberies

One woman was threatened at an ATM in Jonson Street, and another had her handbag snatched, both at knifepoint, in Byron Bay last Sunday night. It happened around 7.25pm, and the man suspected of both incidents is described as being of slim build, aged in his 30s to 40s, about 170180cm tall, with short dark hair and wearing a blue top. In the second incident, the man was further described as wearing black-framed glasses, black long pants, with a black v-neck jumper covering the blue shirt. He was also seen wearing a grey-coloured fedora style hat. Police are urging anyone with information to call 1800 333 000.

Byron Bay’s Mark ‘Mono’ Stewart made history by winning the first ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship in La Jolla, California on Monday. Surfing Australia Media reported that Mr Stewart had been waiting a long

time for the opportunity to compete against other adaptive athletes and to take gold was something he only ever dreamed about.

Overwhelmed He said, ‘I am just completely overwhelmed and it is

a dream come true. I still can’t really believe it has happened. ‘I have met so many awesome people this week who have blown me away with their stories. It is just really touching to see so many dedicated people who love the ocean as much as I do.’

Meanwhile Mignon Frances from another stallholders group – the North Coast Market Stallholders Association, told The Echo that her members feel threatened by Council’s plans, ‘but we are in constant discussion with them.’ Byron Markets manager Tess Cullen is more concilatory, and told The Echo, ‘At this stage it is good that Council is engaging and communicating with market

management regarding the proposed use of Butler Street Reserve as a car park and market ground. The impacts of the proposed Butler Street roadworks are, of course, also under consideration. ‘The lack of care and attention by Council to the market ground has been highlighted by the market management over many years. Council has a great opportunity at this time to improve the condition of the reserve to achieve

Beaches aerially patrolled A gyrocopter trial will patrol South Golden Beach to Broken Head until Sunday October 4, Council have announced. Mayor Simon Richardson said Council will trial the patrol, ‘weather permitting’. ‘The flights start from

both a car park and continuation of an iconic market site. ‘This meeting was a good opportunity for stallholders and managers to outline key considerations to Council staff regarding the development and use of the grounds. ‘This includes maintaining existing grass cover and trees around the edge of the site, improved drainage for the ground, and a gravel cover that does not involve the use of bitumen.

‘The Byron Markets management will continue to work with Council to ensure the needs of the market and stallholders are a key consideration in decision making regarding Butler Street reserve developments.’ Rainbow Region Stallholders Association are holding a meeting for all stallholders after trading (4pm) at next Sunday’s Byron market to discuss the implications of Council’s latest scheme for Butler St Reserve.

Corrections Further to last week’s story on the Mullum hospital, retired builder Alan Wilson told The Echo that when he worked on constructing the emergency department, no asbestos was found there, as that section of the hospital was built without asbestos. ‘We discovered the asbestos in the original part of the building, and I believe that it is contained and quite safe,’ he said.

And further to last week’s story regarding a rejected high-density DA in Bruns, The Echo reported that councillor Di Woods did not vote in favour for the deferral, when in fact she did. The error has been traced to Council minutes being ‘corrected’ by staff, after Echo intern Jack Davison took the information from Council’s minutes.

According to www.itnews. com.au, ‘Exemptions can be granted in cases where an ISP’s services aren’t of much interest to law-enforcement agencies, or where the cost of compliance would be too high.’ ‘However, in advice recently distributed to industry, the department advised it could revoke exemptions if an ISP failed to keep them confidential.’ The controversial plans were rolled out by federal attorney-general George Brandis, with support from Labor.

Gas drilling edges closer Despite overwhelming public opposition, junior gas miner Metgasco announced Monday that a proposed timeframe for the Rosella drilling program will be announced in the next few weeks. The Rosella well at Bentley near Lismore was the scene for a sustained protest camp which eventually led to the suspension of the project. But the company says, ‘Metgasco also advises that negotiations with a drilling contractor to drill the Rosella well as almost complete.’ Additionally, the company claims

contracts have been exchanged with a seismic acquisition contractor for its ‘northern rivers petroleum exploration licence, PEL 16.’ The program is to provide ‘more definition of the northern extent of the Greater MacKellar conventional/tight gas exploration prospect.’

Govt approval The media release claims the seismic program had been planned for some time and has approval via the review of environmental factors process. Q Keep up to date at www. echo.net.au.

Drug-driving rally outside Lismore court Darren Coyne

A Lismore solicitor believes the local court system is being clogged up with drug driving cases which often lead to unfair results for people. Solicitor Steve Bolt said many people were losing their licences, despite the drug testing regime showing no impairment. Mr Bolt spoke to The Echo outside the court house Monday, as a group of protestors gathered to damn the roadside drug testing in the region. Member’s of Nimbin’s Polite Force were on hand to carry out ‘impairment tests’ in an effort to show there are better ways to weed out bad drivers.

Just last week, 69 people fronted Lismore court charged with drug driving offences. Hemp farmer Andrew Kavasilas said the drug testing regime was holding back the lucrative hemp food industry in Australia. ‘The government is trying to get an industrial hemp industry happening, as well as medicinal cannabis, but all of this could be held up by the police because they say it affects their drug testing,’ he said. ‘People are also switching to other drugs.’ Karen Stuart told the gathering that her husband Simon took his own life almost three years ago. ‘The stigma he faced from family and

employers took him to the point where he stopped smoking cannabis,’ she said. ‘His pain levels increased to that day when he decided he couldn’t do it anymore.’ She urged people to continue fighting the oppression, and to know their rights. Organisers have argued that the drugtesting regime catches cannabis users; however, the tests do not determine that drivers are impaired in any way. Hemp Embassy president Michael Balderstone said in places like America there is no testing for impairment for cannabis users. Q More on this at ww.echo.net.au

Richard’s roadshow hits town Hans Lovejoy

Federal Greens leader Richard Di Natale is in the midst of a national travelling roadshow, and will, one imagines, be given a warm embrace by the party faithful at Bangalow’s A&I Hall on Thursday night. It’s interesting how Greens politicians enthusiastically promote their profile in the region with regular events. What other party puts themselves before locals so willingly? Of course, this is Greens heartland; without votes from Byron Shire, federal Labor MP Justine Elliot may not have won the seat of Richmond (Tweed and Byron Shires). Similarly, Byron Shire helped NSW MP Tamara Smith edge over the line for Ballina (Byron and Ballina Shires). I spoke with Dr Di Natale by phone and firstly asked if there had been any hostility at all on his roadshow tour. Dr Di Natale replies that no, ‘the reception has been terrific.’ Q: Since taking the reigns, it’s been reported you have tried to pull the party more to the centre. Would you consider that correct? A: ‘I don’t buy into the analysis – since being in-

volved with the party, I’ve supported the Greens on their core principles like the environment, health, education, refugees etc. ‘The perception may have come early on – when I became leader – where I referred to mainstream values, but I believe the Greens values are mainstream.’ Q: So what about the Greens’ economic vision? A: ‘We have be talking more about the economy, and

we have a strong economic team. If you look at the track record of the coalition and their blind faith in the minerals sector, which is seeing a price dive – it doesn’t add up. Q: What are Malcolm Turnbull’s weaknesses? A: ‘Firstly I welcome that Abbott is no longer PM. ‘But Turnbull has already backed Abbott’s policy on climate change and the emissions target, so the early signs aren’t good. Much of his economic policy is associated with the climate target. ‘Another is keeping the direct action policy, which is ineffective. And refugees – again it’s the hardline approach. At the very least we should be getting the kids out of detention.’

Saffin returns to politics Former Page MP Janelle Saffin (Labor) is returning to politics to try to wrest back the seat she lost to the National Party in the last federal election. Ms Saffin held Page for six years and says she’s driven to regain the seat by the passion she has for the region and its communities. The unofficial launch was marked by two public appearances in Lismore accompanying federal shadow minister for vocational education Sharon Bird. They spoke at Lismore TAFE about dramatic cuts to staff and courses and the sell-off of campus buildings. Ms Saffin was defeated at the 2013 election by the Nationals’ Kevin Hogan.

Family Law & Criminal Law

Byron Shire Council has redrawn vegetation maps covering almost all of the shire’s hinterland, and are now asking landowners to take a look and give them feedback. For example, tree coverage has been broken into 12 different types. Council’s team leader natural environment, Angus Underwood, said the review was necessary to update the maps to reflect changes to vegetation cover and composition over time. Mr Underwood said, ‘The vegetation mapping provides baseline data which Council can use to identify high-conservation-value vegetation such as endangered ecological communities, koala habitat, old-growth forest and wetlands, and to identify priority areas for conservation programs, land-use planning and zoning.’ ‘Landcare, community groups, consultants, government bodies and landholders can also use the mapping to inform planning and management of vegetation and habitats,’ he said.

In 2012, then north coast minister Don Page lobbied for the excision of E-zones from the shire’s 2014 Local Environment Plan on the back of claims from local farmers that the zones were too broad and did not reflect the ‘ground truth’ of the vegetation on their properties.

E-zones frozen The protection zones were subsequently suspended throughout five north-coast LGAs, including Byron Shire, with potentially dire consequences for strategic remnant vegetation and wildlife corridors. At that time, environmentalists who examined the maps said most of the errors could be rectified using ‘desktop editing’. Since then, Byron Council officers have remapped the entire hinterland using aerial photographs, existing data and some on-ground inspections. Vegetation ecologist Andy Baker, who was a strong opponent of the E-zone excisions, says the new maps are ‘absolutely’ more thorough than the previous. ‘While I haven’t yet had an

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

opportunity to look at them in detail, the combination of detailed aerial photography and accurate “ground truthing” means the lines [on the maps] will correspond to the ground far more accurately,’ he told The Echo. The question is whether the state government will now allow the re-inclusion of these remapped zones. Mr Baker said the government was still ‘sitting on its report’ into the E-zones and hoped the new maps, once complete, might provide a trigger for it to reconsider its decision. ‘But there’s still a fair way to go before they are finalised,’ he said. The study area includes the majority of the Byron hinterland including Bangalow, Eureka, Federal, Clunes, Goonengerry, Montecollum, Wilsons Creek, Mullum Creek, The Pocket, Main Arm, Upper Main Arm and Billinudgel. The maps can be viewed at the council’s website or ring the natural environment team on 6626 7324. The draft vegetation mapping is on public exhibition until October 15.

Malcolm’s ministers cling to the old regime

Volume 30 #16

September 30, 2015

Paris gives hope In just two months’ time 20,000 people will descend on Le Bourget, Paris, to determine our future. The French government is preparing for 10,000 official delegates, 7,000 observers and 3,000 media representatives. No doubt the Paris police force is preparing a reception for thousands of uninvited attendees as well. Such gatherings have been held before under United Nations auspices – about twenty times before. Their purpose is to limit greenhouse gas emissions so that the world does not heat up to a catastrophic degree. In Kyoto eighteen years ago, the catastrophe level was set at two degrees above pre-industrial global temperatures. In Doha three years ago, the meeting closed with the admission that the two-degree limit seemed unachievable. There was an ever-increasing gap between what countries were doing, or not doing, about global warming and what the science said was needed. Paris is our last-chance scenario. Have the leaders of the world taken on what scientists are saying, or are they still listening to fossil-fuel lobbyists and religious freaks? There are some encouraging signs this time round. President Obama has managed to get some emission curbs through obstructive politicians by representing them as health initiatives rather than global-warming measures. Shell announced this week that it is suspending oil exploration in the Arctic. In June, the Pope published an encyclical calling for swift and unified action against environmental degradation and global warming. Closer to home, the fall of Tony Abbott opens up the possibility of decisions based on science rather than political self-interest. Already Maurice Newman, one of Abbott’s ring of denialists, has been quietly sidelined by Malcolm Turnbull. Newman believes climate change is a UN conspiracy and has accused the Australian weather bureau of falsifying data. There remain many more shills and liars in influential places but they may no longer have the ear of the government. Australia’s ludicrous ‘direct action’ approach to reducing emissions remains in place for the time being owing to the strength of the insane elements in the Liberal Party. It will, rightly, be derided in Paris, but if the talks conclude with a serious plan of action, the prime minister will have the trigger to revisit our targets.

old guard are quite happy to either return to the water, or at best stay as amphibians. Those who have retained their old portfolios are the most stubborn. Some simply see no need for change: they are doing pretty well in their previous jobs. This applies particularly to the foreign minister Julie Bishop, the finance minister Matthias Corman and the trade minister, Andrew Robb; for them it will be business as usual. In immigration and border protection, Peter Dutton insists that nothing will vary, not a tittle – one tittle being the United Nations Commission on Human

the policies for which he has assumed responsibility. True, there is a new slogan: Jobs and Growth has been replaced by Work, Save, Invest. But what that actually means remains a mystery. Australians already do affair bit of working, saving and investing; presumably the message is that we just have to do more. Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse. And when it comes to the government, not even the wording has changed; it is pre Abbott-ese: Australia has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

It appears that many of Turnbull’s ministers are seriously reluctant to embrace the future. by Mungo MacCallum Rights, which will be welcome to come to Australia to enquire about Dutton’s regime, but if they ask anyone about it the respondents may be put in jail. Unsurprisingly, this gracious invitation has been declined. The attorney-general George Brandis is still wallowing in the swamp, attempting to make sense of the morass he has devised to restrict civil liberties. In environment, Greg Hunt may be prepared to wriggle: it just could be that if circumstances develop, Australia’s target of 26 to 28 per cent of emission reductions by 2030 could be increased – but not now, not yet. And in health, Sussan Ley was already mobile, and may well pick up the pace. But the most important and disturbing signs come from the treasurer, Scott Morrison. Morrison may have switched portfolios, but not

As every rational economic commentator has pointed out, Australia has both, and any attempt to fix one while dismissing the other is bound to fail. And this encapsulates the real worry about Morrison: he wants to reduce complex issues to simplistic terms. This, apparently, is his idea of engaging in a conversation with the Australian people: to reduce everything to concepts so basic that there is no real room for discussion, let alone argument and debate. It worked, more or less, in his previous career. His first job was in property policy, and then he moved to tourism, where he oversaw the ‘Where the bloody hell are you?’ campaign, a dubious result. He is a member of the happy-clappy Hillsong Church, in which the main religion is show-biz, uninterested in the finer points of dogma.

As immigration minister, it was all about the slogan: Stop the Boats, at all costs, and never mind considerations of law, humanity or transparency. Even within social security, a more serious portfolio, Morrison was relentlessly focused on clear and easily understood outcomes – indeed, he boasted about his direct approach. But the Treasury is not like that; the economic issues facing the country are complex and nuanced. They cannot, or at least should not, be dumbed down into a couple of words suitable for focus groups, to be repeated endlessly until any vestige of sense has been beaten out of them. Turnbull has staked his claim to be prime minister on the need to explain the economy seriously and sensibly: to have his treasurer parroting the same old discredited lines of the previous administration is not a good start. The new leader himself continues to inspire hope and confidence: his big number on domestic violence has been very well received, and his speech at the inauguration of the memorial for war correspondents was masterful. To invoke the practitioners from Thucydides to Peter Greste was a reminder of how leaden Abbott has been on similar occasions. But those were the easy bits – unthreatening and uncontroversial. If Abbott and Shorten are to be proved wrong, and there is real sausage on the sizzle, some hard decisions cannot be avoided. And above all, it will be the economy, stupid. Turnbull will be desperately hoping that his treasurer can get up to speed, and soon. If Sco-Mo morphs into Slow-Mo, the great leap forward will quickly fall back into the primordial mire.

s the political theatre goes, it can’t get much more absurd than this: Tony Abbott and Bill Shorten have joined up in a unity ticket. Both are convinced that nothing much will change after the ascension of Malcolm Turnbull: the rhetoric may be slicker, but the politics will linger on. And both Abbott and Shorten agree on something else: this will be a good thing for each of them. Abbott sees it in terms of self-justification: obviously just about everything he did in the last two years was spot on, so his successor will inevitably pursue the same formula to the next election and succeed, for which Abbott can take the lion’s share of credit. Shorten takes the contrary view: the Abbott legacy was toxic, but Turnbull either won’t or can’t change it: the conservatives in the party room will hold him to the path which must lead to their electoral doom and the two Liberal leaders will share the obloquy. The majority of the public, of course, hopes that this is a self-fulfilling fantasy from both Abbott and Shorten; after all, the whole point of the exercise was to clear away the old dysfunction and make way for something – anything – more palatable. But it may be harder to achieve than it seemed at first, and it appears that many of Turnbull’s ministers are seriously reluctant to embrace the future. Like creatures emerging from the depths to take their first tentative steps on dry land, they have emerged confused and blinking in the fresh air, unsure what they should do next. Some of the newer, younger, brigade seem ready and even eager to evolve, but many of the

Hospital update Regarding recent coverage of the new $88m Byron Central Hospital, we wish to advise the community that it is the end of construction, not the opening of the hospital, that is scheduled for next March. A commissioning phase of 6–8 weeks will follow the completion of works, with the hospital due to become operational by the end of June 2016. By this time the acute care and community health services presently operating in Mullumbimby and Byron Bay will be consolidated in the purpose-built facility, which provides an expanded range of higher-level services, including CT scanning. In addition,

there will be 195 on site parking bays, 28 bicycle spaces, and 16 motorcycle spaces. Roadworks commencing soon on Ewingsdale Road west of the site (towards the Tweed Motorway) will include a roundabout enabling access to the main hospital entrance, and a dedicated cycleway from the site to McGettigans Lane. Access to local properties and businesses will not be affected by these roadworks. Robin Osborne Community Liaison Byron Central Hospital

Goodbye, Jim North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP) administrator Jim

Bolger is no longer in charge of Byron Shire’s Crown Reserve caravan parks. The Crown trustees have released no statement and are not forthcoming about the circumstances of Mr Bolger’s unexpected departure on September 1. We can only assume the long-running dispute over caravan park boundaries has claimed another scalp. Council’s refusal in July to renew the caravan park licences (now called ‘Approvals to Operate’) and their explicit directives to NCHP for new ATO applications to include Council-determined park boundaries has seriously undermined the Crown’s efforts

to implement their new plans of management. NCHP’s new plans propose major works on our highly prized public foreshore lands. Steve Edmonds, CEO of NSWCHPT, is currently engaged in negotiations with Council, and will be exerting considerable pressure to maximise their commercial operations. Council must remain strong and firm in defending our public assets. We must insist: 1. The reinstatement of the public walkway along Simpsons Creek in Terrace Park is not negotiable and a Council directive reiterated since 2000. 2. Ferry Reserve foreshore must be retained for public recreation – protect and prohibit heavy vehicles on the riverbank.

Down at Belongil they have rock walls and are currently getting more. Up here in New Brighton we have none. We want some! Since 1974 we have had over 1,700m of beachfront properties under severe threat from the ocean. On numerous occasions the southern 1,400m of homes were completely destroyed or had waves and the dune dumped through these properties and beyond. The ocean joined the north arm of the Brunswick River through almost this entire area. The northernmost 300m of beachfront homes were perched precariously on this high section of dune. Since 1979, all DAs require both council and state approval. Properties purchased before 1988

and which have not been renovated/extended may be eligible for compensation. Since 1988, all prospective land purchasers were issued with a section 149 certificate that states the land was subject to erosion and that development restrictions applied, legally a case of caveat emptor or let the buyer beware. In this erosion zone here at Newy, with some 230 properties, all but a handful have been issued with the section 149 certificate. So until Council builds our rock walls, could we have more beach scraping to shore things up? From previous Council scraping efforts over the last 30 years, the scraped beach is completely devoid of worms, pippies, crabs, molluscs, etc, so more beach scraping should not be a problem as there is nothing left to kill anyway. Good residents of this Shire, don’t despair, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously Crs Woods, Wanchap, Ibrahim, Cubis and Hunter know something we don’t. At a recent Council meeting, Cr Woods told the room she did not believe ‘in climate change’, so happy days; the Pacific Ocean will probably recede, not rise and all the rock walls and

Public land grab I am the owner of a unit which fronts Denning Park, Byron Bay. Denning Park is Crown land. It is the park adjoining Bay Street, Byron Bay, and is part of the larger Apex Park. The whole stretch of seafront parkland, from Massinger Street to the south and past the swimming pool to the north, is on Crown land. I am very concerned about the paid car parking currently being erected by Byron Shire Council at Denning Park. Crown land is to be kept in perpetuity for the people of NSW. This land is also zoned as coastal land 7 (f1) and has certain protections on it because of this. Under the Byron LEP 1988, the proposed car park is prohibited development. It appears that Council has ignored appropriate processes and assessments in the construction of this car park. Over the last month, residents have made several protestations to Council about this construction to no avail. I am also very concerned about the proposed paid car

park on Butler Street Reserve, which is also on Crown land. I became aware of this proposal when I was making protestations to Council about Denning Park. Using Crown land for car parking is totally inappropriate and is not protecting the land for current and future generations. The Byron Bay community prides itself on being clean and green. It appears this council wants Byron Bay to be turned into a giant car park and to misuse green public space in our beautiful community. I urge all residents to make your voices heard and let Byron Council know you do not support this retrograde act. Bronwyn Morris Manly

Save our markets At recent and ongoing council meetings the process of paid parking is being thrashed out. Somewhere in the middle of this is the Butler Street Reserve and the future of the Byron Community Market and the Farmers Market. These markets involve 350 small buinesses and have operated appropriately at Butler Street for 25 years. Neither stallholders nor management wish to move and Council has no other agreed-to or suitable site to place us. Still, the council, as the Reserve Trust manager for Butler Street, has applied for and now licensed itself to use the Butler Street market area as a carpark for a trial twoyear period as part of paid parking. The original resolutions on July 30 and August 13 handed the area over to the carpark 365 days of the year without a mention of the markets. The later, and now current, resolution has tacked on the bottom that Butler

Crowds are still cheering how the sea floods 250 hectares at Steart on the mouth of the River Parrett, UK. This is the latest of five national ‘coastal realignment’ projects. The Environment Agency and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust worked with the local townspeople to undo a hundred years of hard seawalls with ‘soft engineering’. This flood protection, which invests in food security and social evolution, may look like a backward step. But it’s actually going sideways and re-entering great cycles of life. Cycles we can still see here in our Belongil catchment.

restore the wetlands and manage flooding. Staff includes the Awabakal people. In 2012, 100,000 people attended activities ranging from recreation and tourism to education and research. The site is on the Ramsar list of internationally important wetlands. Such wetland projects prove that people can understand what all the birds and fish already know. Water sustains life and also governs it.

Back in the UK, the Trust started with wetland restoration over at Slimbridge in 1946. Its founder, Peter Scott, was the son of Antarctic explorer Captain Scott. His father’s last request of his wife was that she ‘make the boy interested in natural history’. Whatever did Kathleen Scott do that inspired her son? He went on to become an international leader in modern conservation, founding the World Wide Fund for Nature, creating the IUCN red lists of endangered species. He made Slimbridge not only a world-renowned conservation centre, but a nature centre open to the public. Scott’s trust partnered with wildlife clubs in Newcastle, Australia, helping create their Hunter Wetlands Centre. From 1983, residents and the council worked together to

The latest paper in Nature, published September 21, explains how water rules on the large scale of the Pacific Basin. Seventeen coastal geologists mapped the impacts on 48 beaches during the swings of climate over 1979–2012. Ever stronger cycles of El Nino/Southern Oscillations mean increasing storm surges and coastal erosion first on one side of the Pacific, then the other. In that study, one of the erosion sites was Belongil. Here, rock walls are simultaneously being built on the Belongil shore and challenged in court. Elements of Byron, a resort, wants to counter

Street be ‘considered for continued use as a markets site’. There is still no mention of closing the carpark on market days. On August 27 the council resolved to ‘preference’ placing the machinery depot for the Butler Street bypass on the Community Market’s existing stallholder carpark. The other choice was on part of the existing market grounds. That the losing of our carpark is seen as a victory for co-existence may give an indication of how little power the markets have in this situation. Although the council has resolved to ‘consider’ the markets sharing Butler Street Reserve with the carpark, they have at this time made little attempt to make a policy of co-existence possible. They have so far made it clear that carpark trumps

the 350 stallholders. To gain confidence of the stallholders Council needs to: 1. Direct the workings of the Butler Street bypass to be organised in such a way as to facilitate access to Butler Street Reserve on market days. 2. Resolve that the carpark is closed to parking on Community Market days and an appropriate area kept clear on Farmers Market days. 3. Acknowledge the needs of the markets and that issues such as surface condition of the grounds, stallholder parking availability, pedestrian access and stray cars left on the grounds will all need ongoing pro-active responses.

cycles. It would support more wildlife, marine life and fish. Remember, for thousands of years it fed Bundjalung people. In the early 20th century, it fed settlers, who shipped thousands of pounds of fish to Sydney. If, like the other wetlands, it could strengthen its cycles, it could feed people of the future.

Sea edge

New livelihood

In that flow is all the artificial drainage from the former wetlands. The lands are now part of the West Byron ‘real estate’ advertised for sale last week. Seventy-three acres of what has proven to be marginal agricultural land was once a soft edge of the sea. The recent rezoning process has revealed the whole area is still stubbornly a swamp. Flood prone, with acid soils. Where marine animals still return to spawn and grow. Wild plants and coastal forest remnants supporting koalas and other wildlife all somehow persist. Wading birds and croaking frogs outnumber the cows and people who live here. The Belongil, like the Steart and Hunter, still moves in

Resident scientist Gavin Greenoak believes that, on some level, evolution is transforming us humans from caterpillars into butterflies. We can recognise disabled wetlands and see in their rehabilitation a new livelihood and a rejuvenated local economy. We can see the unruly Belongil, like the Tallow, as one of the very few waterways still free of any ‘training walls’ and ‘development’. What we called ‘lack of progress’ is now our greatest asset. From the Hunter to the Steart, communities are renewing themselves as they learn again to respect the great cycles. And here? Start with the Belongil, from the beaches to outer reaches.

It is totally unacceptable that more than one woman a week is bludgeoned to death by enraged, cowardly men who take out their thwarted power trip on the ‘weaker sex’. However, the PM, as a lawmaker by training, should also be aware that many men suffer in silence, often taking their own lives from the despair of being denied fair access to their children and unfair maintenance payments by women who manipulate the system, the Family Law Court, which needs major overhauling.

Free the seeds from the corporate giants Hilary Bain

We live in a world where six multinational chemical/seed companies own 75 per cent of the seed stock in the world. This massive centralisation in seed ownership has occurred over the past 20 years. And in the past 20 years there has been a massive increase in genetically modified crops. These crops, mostly soy, corn, cotton and rapeseed (canola) are grown in the USA, Brazil, Argentina and Canada. And some element of these crops is in 90 per cent of all processed foods coming out of these countries, if they are not organic. There are crops of cotton and canola in Australia, mostly in Western Australia. Russia, Japan, China and Europe have banned it, although the TPP and TTIP could change that. Authorities are further allowing for experiments of GM wheat, bananas, sugar cane, grapes, pineapples and papaya. The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, funded by Bill and Melinda Gates and Rockefeller Foundations, is pushing heavily for

GMO use. This also means an increased need for synthetic fertilisers and pesticides which GMO crops require. The Gates Foundation is heavily invested in various agro-chemical corporations. ‘The corporations seek to control the production of the seed. Either through hybrids or through patenting, or through the terminator technology. Farmers themselves have been turned into consumers; they buy seed, they buy chemicals. And that’s the first change we need, they must become producers again,’ says Vandana Shiva in the film The Worm is Turning. We need to find a way to counter this insidious, cor-

porate takeover of the world’s food production, and one big way is for organic farmers and gardeners to save and share their seeds, and to grow a diversity of foods, as this biodiversity creates food resilience. And the community needs to become co-producers by buying organic food from local organic farmers, to help ensure local food resiliency and to keep the population and the environment healthy. The Byron Hinterland Seed Savers Network, which operates under the national group the Seed Savers Network, who are also based in Byron Bay, meets seasonally to freely share seeds, plants, skills and knowledge. The Mullumbimby Community

Garden also has a seed-saving program. There will be a community sharing of the Byron Hinterland Seed Savers on Saturday October 3 at 2pm at Sunnyview Farm, home of One Organic. This is a local event celebrating our locally adapted foods and forms a part of the global actions happening as part of Seed Freedom Fortnight. Bring a plate of finger food, anything you wish to share, or come and enjoy the art of gratefully receiving. For more event details go to their Facebook page. The Worm Is Turning will be shown on Wednesday October 7 at 6pm at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. There will be a panel Q&A afterwards to discuss food resilience in Byron Shire. Members of the newly formed Byron Regional Food Sovereignty Network, Jo Immig (National Toxics Network), Rod Bruin (local organic farmer) and the filmmakers Asa Mark and Hilary Bain will be present. Tickets are $20 and are available at Santos stores or at the door. For more visit http:// thewormisturning.com. Q

Property www.echo.net.au/ad/echo-property

Housing of the future Housing of the future will be judged by very different standards from the housing of today. As a starting point, it will need to respect ecological limits and suit significantly changed demographic patterns and lifestyles. These principles are embedded in the concept of ‘positive development’ — development that has a net positive ecological and social impact. This might seem like an ambitious goal, but progressive parts of the housing industry are already working toward positive development. It will need to be the norm in any scenario for a sustainable future. Frameworks such as the international Living Building Challenge set benchmarks and guidance for achieving positive development, and the not-for-profit Living Future Institute Australia has been set up specifically to promote this objective. Many of the homes we build today will still be in use in 50 or even 100 years’ time when climate change, population growth and resource depletion will have created a very different environment. The structure of households will also be different, with a significant shift towards smaller (single person or couple only) households and an ageing population. These demographic shifts have begun but will

be more pronounced in the future. In 2050, an estimated 23 per cent of Australians will be aged 65 years or more, compared to 13.3 per cent in 2006 (The Treasury 2010).

Housing of the future will be flexible, adaptable and resilient, helping us to respond to both predicted and unexpected change. As resources will be scarcer and most likely more expensive, housing will need to be capable of meeting its own energy and water needs, producing food and recovering precious nutrients and materials from waste streams. It will be space efficient in response to ecological limits and the increasing number of single-person households, reversing Australian housing stock’s current status as the largest (by floor area) in the world (James 2009). Housing of the future is more likely to be clustered in ‘urban villages’ located close to local amenities and public transport to minimise transport energy demands. It will also cater for different living and working patterns and for the needs of an ageing population. A likely trend will be towards the division of large family homes into smaller ones, as well as new forms of housing that allow some level of cooperative living among different households and engender a sense of community.

Coolamon Tree Bistro - Modern dining at nostalgic prices Story and photos: Caz Parker

Remember the good old days when it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to go out for dinner? One of the blokes on our table summed it up. ‘That’s such good value you’d think it’s the nineties,’ he said, referring to the incredibly well-priced menu tempting diners at the Coolamon Tree Bistro, at Mullumbimby’s ExServices Club. There are excellent daily specials, such as a Chicken Parmigiana lunch for only $8 and a Battered Snapper dinner that doesn’t break the bank at $13.

Well I learned classical (and still play in orchestras from time to time) but I always listened to a wide range of music, including tango, when I was growing up (thanks to my parents’ record collection). So I think tango is a I’d love you to tell me more kind of music that’s been with about your trip to Paris me always and although it has its and your introduction to own unique feel and emphases, Argentinian tango. it isn’t terribly different from Well my husband and I decided to music I’d played in the past stop at a hotel in Malakoff because on the mandolin.

Now, with her quintet Tango Noir, she has recorded three albums of melodic tango-inspired pieces and songs, and gathered an exceptional group of musicians around her in the process.

Twelve years on, the boys have become men, touring internationally to sold-out houses around the world, having just released Ire, the 10th album for the band that ended up going by the name of Parkway Drive. (Luckily they didn’t live at Sunrise Boulevard; that name just doesn’t have the hardcore resonance!)

‘You have to create something that connects with people – you have to create a reason for going to a show rather than its just being a thing to pass the time; it’s connection and it’s an experience!’

On the eve of their return to sold-out shows on home turf, vocalist Winston reflects on what it’s like after over a decade on the road.

‘I think it’s a thing when culture feels marginalised to any degree and there is a very negative stigma that goes with heavy music – but that draws those people together in the same way it pushes other people away who don’t like it. I am yet to meet someone in this culture who is a closed-minded arsehole. It’s the audience that is driving this, it’s the people coming to the shows, and it’s the people feeling the connection to the music; that is a huge difference from the approach of mainstream – ‘I am a rock star and I am drawing you here.’

‘We still have the same passion and drive for what we do; it’s not just having an eye on the pie, because there has never been a pie! It’s been an interestingly rollercoaster ride!’ Unlike most bands, Parkway could never rely on radio play. Hardcore is about playing live, and the audiences who love what you do will find you. ‘I 100 per cent underestimated our genre,’ says Winston. ‘We were one of the first bands to have this sound; heavy music is very marginalised, and for a very good reason: it’s very abrasive, just when you think this is what it’s capable of, it surprises you. There were shows in Europe where we played to 120,000 people! We first started playing to 120 people! ‘Heavy music in Australia is very much a sideline act to mainstream, and when it comes to industry and ARIAs I don’t think they know or acknowledge how big it actually is and the reality of what we are doing in the genre leaves most other genres in the dust!’ The worldwide following for hardcore is phenomenal, as is the loyalty of Parkway fans. Winston believes that one of Parkway Drive’s greatest strengths has always been their live shows.

Winston believes the marginalisation has helped grow the industry rather than the reverse.

The new album Ire heralds a new approach for the band. ‘It’s basically the first time since the band’s existence that we have gone into a way of writing where we haven’t followed a formula that we are used to. It’s still very heavy and angry, but it’s the difference between a third of my lifetime. I would be surprised that if anyone would feel the same as they did 10 years ago; we literally had to relearn from scratch how to cull our egos. Sometimes to get what we wanted it necessitated playing less, and often what we did before was about more more more!’ What keeps Parkway Drive fresh is their desire to make new ground. And that is what they’ve done. Catch them this Saturday (sold out) or Sunday at the Byron Bay High School. Tickets from Oztix outlets www.oztix.com.au.

A FEW OF MY LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS

I thought that as you got older you became nicer. I think that’s old-person propaganda. I’m fast becoming an arsehole. As I get older I realise that if I were Julie Andrews singing a song to motherless children frightened of the storm, I wouldn’t be comforting them by crooning about paper packages tied up with string; I’d be bitching about how I never get paper packages tied up with string any more, I don’t have a doorbell or a sleigh bell, and if someone does knock it’s just the guy from the post office in his hi-vis vest delivering something one of the kids has bought through eBay and I’m going to have to pay for. I’m off carbs so schnitzel with noodles is a no-go for me. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes are generally oppressed by gender stereotypes and global warming is causing far too many silverwhite winters to prematurely melt into spring and, unlike Tony Abbott, I don’t think it’s some sort of Bureau of Meteorology conspiracy. I have a much longer list of my least favourite things than most. In a world full of people singing Let it Go, I am really focusing on sweating the small stuff. There’s just not enough attention to detail anymore. I am fast becoming allergic to the world. I don’t appreciate ibis – not the hotel chain; the native bird that’s evolved into some sort of giant flying rat that insists on turning what was already a mediocre al fresco dining experience into a mini-trauma by stealing a cold chip from the corner of my mouth. And then there’s the attentionseeking people who post shit on Facebook like: ‘Darling, I am the luckiest woman alive because you are so amazing’. And then all your friends ‘like it’ and feel like shit because their partner didn’t post anything about them on Facebook. I mean if you are lying in bed with Mr Fricking Amazing, tell him yourself and leave the rest of us out of it. I can’t stand people who actually enjoy exercise and talk about it like it’s a conversation subject I am remotely interested in. Are they just telling me because I’m fat and telling me how disciplined they are makes them feel better about themselves? I secretly wish they get attacked by ibis scavenging for Lorna Jane exercise wear.

I don’t like people looking at my groceries and thinking they just learnt something about me. Neither am I fond of people who smoke on the beach and then drop their butt in the sand, and then get in their hippy kombi with a sticker that says ‘Coexist’. Those new lightbulbs that cost $7 each and are supposed to last five years but always seem to blow within two months inflame a deep sense of electrified rage. I was devastated when I left my $300 hair iron in a hotel room and when I rang an hour after my departure to locate it the reception told me, ‘Housekeeping haven’t reported finding anything’. I hate that the bitch in housekeeping now has smoother hair than I do, especially after the other day when someone said to me, ‘Are you okay, Mandy; are you taking too much on?’ because my hair was frizzy and wild and I had to say, ‘No, this is what I actually look like’. I hate that I spent $300 to conform to a hair trend and I hate knowing that I will eventually spend it again because now I’m worried I look crazy. (I don’t mind being crazy, I just try to make sure my ‘look’ doesn’t match.) I hate group emails that tell me I am special that need to be forwarded on so that the sender can check that I respond to their emails. This never makes me feel very special. In fact, it makes me feel that I am someone that they don’t care about offending. I hate booking air tickets online for my family and being charged a credit card fee of $7.50 for EVERY transaction. With seven people that’s more than $50 in fees. I hate those automatic default buttons that make me give $2 to the ‘starkids’ – a photo of cute little poor kids that is supposed to make me feel some sort of compassion bonding with Jetstar and induce more brand allegiance. I would prefer the option to donate my credit card fees to aforementioned ‘star kids’ and make a real difference. I hate paying for a hotel room and then another $30 to park my car. I was complaining to a friend who said, ‘Oh well, they’re just third-world problems’. Yes, she really was that stupid, but it’s not her fault – she’s blond like me. Then an ibis swooped down and stole HER last piece of delicious deep-fried haloumi and suddenly things didn’t seem… so bad!

Suzannah Espie’s striking new album Mother’s Not Feeling Herself Today tells the story of motherhood. But it’s not the usual sanitised one that you might expect. This is an album that explores a woman’s sense of failure, as it bravely navigates the territory of post-natal depression, isolation and disconnection.

Suzannah attributes pushing through with her project to the fact she’d received a grant.

All in all Mother’s Not Feeling Herself Today is a concept album; the title track is a honky-tonk country song. There is another song set in the park, a mother and her young daughter in the park feeling very lonely; I wrote that as a nod to a book called A Divided Heart by Rachel Power about creativity after motherhood – how 99.9 per cent of the time your mind is elsewhere! I have always worked hard at being present. I used to woonder what the hell is wrong with me?!

‘I had thought about the idea, but I wasn’t actively writing when I decided to do it. I got a grant, which made all the difference. I put in the grant application and said that I wanted to write an album about motherhood. I got the grant and then I had to do Espie’s single release I’m Sorry is breathtaking, and it! Having that practical real support is what got me through.

ARIES: If this week’s full-moon lunar eclipse in Aries

s r a t S with Lilith Now spring’s ofﬁcially sprung, this week’s Mars in Virgo wants a reset: of new plans, clear intentions, fresh commitments…

took you down memory lane and triggered emotional surges you thought you’d outgrown, don’t be savage on yourself. Learn the lessons this experience was designed to teach, and your reward will take you to a whole new level of maturity.

TAURUS: This week could get a tad more emotional than you’re comfortable with, engendering a certain degree of stress and duress about what to decide, how to move forward, whom to trust. Best just focus on essentials till late-week Taurus moon shines its clarifying spotlight on your true, enduring values. GEMINI: While spring has you bubbling with a buzz of creative ideas, your mentor planet Mercury retro could be making choice a conundrum. In a week of retail frustrations, best go for practical and sustainable. Focus on durable, functional buys – then socialise to your heart’s content under Friday’s Gemini moonlight.

CANCER: If early-week’s full-moon lunar eclipse sent a shock wave of agitation through the Cancerian nation, make this week’s mantra Don’t Take It Personally. Sure you’re a person, but right now it really is much more about other people’s stuff than it is about you.

SAGITTARIUS: Saturn, the planetary personal trainer, taking up residence in your sign lights a slow fire designed to brew your essential ingredients into a richer, stronger, tastier, more authentic and successful you. Beginning this week, which is about paying particular attention to the ways you transmit and receive information.

CAPRICORN: With Pluto direct in Capricorn and Saturn your planetary captain in the sign of education, exploration and liberation, you’ll benefit greatly from travel, further studies or working with a mentor. Though conditions, as always, apply: which is that first off there’ll be a fortnight of vexing, but necessary, lessons…

LEO: Interpersonal communications can get seriously scrambled this week, so it’s mandatory not to inflate minor tiffs into international incidents or dramatic extravaganzas. Worst-case scenario: someone casts aspersions on your motives or criticises your abilities. So what? Good news is this transit could finally resolve a longstanding relationship problem.

VIRGO: Mars in Virgo fires up your energy, enthusiasm and drive. Just take care you don’t overdo it this week, especially in the area of helping others. You’re shrewd, astute and insightful, but the downside of Mars in your sign sometimes shows up as people taking advantage of your natural kindness. LIBRA: This week’s eclipse highlighted relationship changes you’ve experienced over the past two and a half years: where your needs and others haven’t been aligned, and how they could be. Saturn’s presently in a strongly supportive position to ensure connections, or reconnections, you make now will be long lasting and life-affirming. SCORPIO: Major changes are afoot this week, which could see you rethinking a former commitment to a particular group, cause or person. Things that have been niggling at you for a long time are finally becoming clear as information filters through and the jigsaw pieces fall into place.

AQUARIUS: This week’s eclipse in the sign of what’s in it for me? was designed to uncover old, unresolved attitudes of show me the money, and I’m not feeling the love. Feelings that have been veiling the truth that love and money are all around you. Don’t let mistaken beliefs diminish your rightful joy.

PISCES: This week’s likely to stir up a stew of emotions, which retrograde Mercury doesn’t help. Flexibility’s the magic key. Remember that beliefs are just opinions you don’t want to change; they’re also closed doors to your growth and understanding. Especially selfunderstanding, the biggest mystery of all…

FELICITY WARD, PERFORMING AT THE BYRON BREWERY MONDAY 19 OCTOBER,

WELCOME TO CULTURE WONDERLAND With NORPA’s extraordinary Railway Wonderland being reprised it’s time to find out a little more about the people behind the scenes. William Kutana is a costume and fashion designer who has been working in the field since completing his BA in Industrial Arts from San Francisco State University. After completing a Diploma of Fashion and Cert IV in Costume at Wollongbar TAFE in 2012 he worked with NORPA on the original production of Railway Wonderland and as costume adviser on developmental works. In 2013 he featured as one of the top designers on the reality TV show Project Runway Australia Season 4, where he showcased his first collection. William is currently living in northern NSW where he works out of his private studio, House Of Tailors, in Lismore as well as teaching Fashion and Design at TAFE. What do you find inspiring about Railway Wonderland? I absolutely love the fact that the show takes place on real, abandoned railway station. I’ve always found ‘travellers’, whether at an airport or railway station fascinating. I want to know what there story is, their destination, who they are meeting… I find it a bit romantic like Railway Wonderland. What does your role as production designer involve? Fortunately I was working with the original creative team during 2011 where I provided costume inspirations for the initial development of Railway Wonderland. As costume designer I am responsible for the overall look and feel of the show. How are you working with TAFE

FELICITY WARD BRINGS HER COMEDIC EDGE TO BYRON

students? What do you like about it?

For the relaunch of Railway Wonderland we wanted to find a way to involve the TAFE Costume students so I’ve worked with TAFE on the construction of some of the costumes. I am also giving them the opportunity to do some work experience in the field, fitting and altering costumes, watching rehearsals and running around chasing props. It’s great having this local collaboration because it gives them relevant real like theatre experience that every student should experience. What is different in the design this year from the 2012 production? We are definitely stepping it up with some of the costumes for this production. The choir’s costumes are all custom made and will have an authentic 1940s/50s look about them with very smart tailored jackets and vintage hats and accessories. What is your inspiration for the design? The story takes place over three different eras: modern, 70s and 40s. My inspiration comes from the fashion trends of those times, specifically the 40s when people used to get dressed up more when travelling. The natural train station setting is inspiring and magical so I want to transport the audience into a dreamlike wonderland into the past.

CULTURE CONTINUED

PICTURES OF THE SEA ARCADIA: IN THE LATE 1960S THERE WAS A DEFINITE MOVEMENT BY SURFERS TO LEAVE THE CITIES AND TO GO TO LIVE IN THE COASTAL TOWNS NEAR THE BEST SURFING BREAKS IN AUSTRALIA. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT NOWHERE WAS IT SO PRONOUNCED AS ON THE NORTH COAST OF NEW SOUTH WALES, WITH THE BYRON BAY AREA A SINGULAR MAGNET. THIS PICTURE SHOWS WAYNE LYNCH AND BOB MCTAVISH IN THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AROUND POSSUM CREEK. IT WAS TAKEN IN 1969 AND FEATURED IN THE ‘COUNTRY SOUL’ ISSUE OF SURF INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE.

Arcadia is an exhibition of lyrical, richly textured photographs by John Witzig, cofounder of Tracks magazine and founder of SeaNotes, with huge ink drawings by Nicholas Harding and psychedelic film footage by Albe Falzon. It expresses the free-spirited, revolutionary character of a group of young and perfectly formed Australian surfers in the early 1970s. Photographer John Witzig answered a few questions about this exhibition curated by Sarah Engledow.

What was it about the era that is so evocative? Your photos make me think of a time when we didn’t look at our phones, where a single day could stretch almost a week… Yeah, no phones, that’s for sure. I was working for several surfing magazines through a 15year period from 1966, so there were deadlines of course (and we were actually reasonably professional), but somehow it was remarkably more relaxed… but evocative? I’m not sure.

ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

Surfing almost seems to be a different sport these days – your photos remind us of a time when it was intrinsically linked to

What are the highlights of the exhibition? Who are the surfing legends featured here?

counterculture; now it seems more about the dollar… is that something you have noticed? ‘Modern’ surfing had really only arrived in Australia in the very late 1950s, so by the early 70s it was still an adolescent. The link with counterculture is real, but the Aquarius Festival wasn’t until 1973. Surfers had been obsessive about the northern NSW coast for more than a decade before that. And yes, a different sport now… a different world. Change happens. You have some amazing shots of Wayne Lynch and Bob McTavish at Possum Creek. Can you tell me about when those were taken? The picture of Wayne Lynch and Bob McTavish that I call Arcadia was taken in 1969 at Possum Creek. I was working for a magazine called Surf International and was planning a ‘Country Soul’ issue. That sentiment reflected my own feelings about how and where I wanted to live, and what I observed in many of the people I hung around with.

In a funny way I don’t think that there are highlights. Well, there’s the ‘hero’ shot of course, and quite a number of other pictures that’ve been blown up to two metres wide or high. That’s pretty amazing. Why black and white? All the photographic heroes from my late teenage years shot in black and white. I was taking more colour in the later 1960s because Surf International ran a lot of it, but my main love has always been black and white. In 1970 David Elfick, Albe Falzon and I started Tracks and it was only black and white for the first couple of years. I also liked being able to process the film and do the prints myself. Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre Murwillumbah; open Wednesday to Sunday 10am–5pm,(DST) as daylight saving time will come into effect from Sunday 4 October. Opening Friday 5.15pm for an exhibition preview floor talk by Dr Sarah Engledow, music by Windy Hill and opened officially at 6.30pm by Robert Drewe.

SICARIO

Whether or not the end justifies the means has always been a foggy issue. Especially when the means involve activities that cross the line of what is strictly legal, or worse, what is unconscionably cruel. And to what extent can Draconian law enforcement be seen to ratchet up the bad guys’ reprisals? The viciousness of those who control the illicit drug trade between Mexico and the US is incomprehensible to us in our cloistered corner of the world. That successfully dealing with the cartels might necessitate the abandonment of morality and decency would offend our bourgeois sensibilities – but things are different in the real world. As an outsider who does things by the book, Officer Macer (Emily Blunt) is seconded to a covert operations crew and is immediately outraged by the methods employed by her new associates, Graver (Josh Brolin) and the shady Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro). But she is unable, or unwilling, to do anything about it. She is a strange character – entirely passive and ineffective, like a fly on the wall. This is a confronting movie insofar as it demands that you make a judgment that you would rather not have to think about. The glossy veneer of our civilisation blinds us to the uncompromising and often murderous mechanics that underpin it – we’d rather not be bothered by it while we’re watching The Block with our takeaway Thai. The unholy thrill that Kathryn Bigelow presented us with in Zero Dark Thirty is similarly at play here as Alejandro, whose motivation is all too easy to condone, relentlessly tracks down a cartel ‘jefe’ (boss). You want him to succeed because you’re only human and the need for vengeance is one of the deepest, most transferable of our instincts. If there are dirty deeds being done on our behalf – as there surely are – should we express high-minded outrage? Or turn a blind eye? Denis Villeneuve’s intense, fatalistic film might occasionally exhibit an overwillingness to show blood-splattered walls and carcasses, but, as Graver tells Macer, with cold certainty, ‘this is the future’.

ODDBALL

The power of imagination and our eagerness to be transported by it is a wonderful thing, is it not? At one point in this cracking movie, the dog Oddball has gone missing and his distraught owner, Swampy (Shane Jacobson), is seen wandering the cliffs near Warrnambool, calling his name. The mood is fraught, the packed cinema holding its breath, hoping that that no harm has come to the loveable white mutt. Then, from near the front row, a plaintive little voice cries ‘Oddball!’ This is the true story of how a colony of fairy penguins living on a small island off the coast of Victoria was saved from the predation of foxes by a lumbering long-haired Maremma sheepdog. Of course, there needs to be more to it than that to make a story out of it and Peter Ivan’s script weaves romance, comedy and mystery (I didn’t guess the ‘reveal’) through the narrative in equal measure. Jacobson, as in Kenny, exudes warmth and genuineness – he is possibly the only actor in Oz who could get away with ‘whacko-thediddlo’ (a blast from the past). As a result, you can’t help but care about him, his single-mum daughter Emily (Sarah Snook) and doting granddaughter Olivia (Coco Jack Gillies). The necessary conflict is with those who scheme to have the island’s status as a sanctuary abandoned in favour of turning it into a whaleviewing site. Director Stuart McDonald never wallows in the bathos that marred Red Dog and, as well as capturing some beautiful shots of the rugged coastline, cinematographer Damian Wyvill displays a painterly eye with the green-screen, managing to evoke in the island scenes an old-fashioned secretive atmosphere reminiscent of the Famous Five – and there is also a hint of Gerald Durrell in the cosiness of the tale-telling. Naysayers and connoisseurs will scoff that the Disney-type depiction of animals is juvenile bunk, but surely anything at all that opens young minds to the plight of the world’s vanishing wildlife is to be applauded. I loved it.

Shores United grateful for local business Shores United soccer club held their annual fundraiser on 29 August at the Ocean Shores Tavern. The night was a resounding success with fun, raffles, an auction and great live music from the White Feather band. A total of $2,240 was raised for our club, with funds coming exclusively from local businesses. ‘The level of generosity in this community never ceases to amaze me,’ says club president Marc Patten. ‘Our club approached a total of 57 local businesses in Ocean Shores, Billinudgel, Mooball, Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads seeking assistance. ‘Some of these businesses struggle to survive on a weekly basis; nonetheless, an astonishing 56 local

businesses donated items to the club for raffle. The only business to decline was the multibillion-dollar corpo-

ration, in the best position to assist its community and where the club does all of its shopping, Coles Australia.’

The club wants to thank the other 56 local businesses who dug deep to help their kids.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm When Garry Kasparov tweeted in May 2014 that ‘There are many studies showing positive effect of chess on delaying, improving dementia/Alzheimer’s’ he provoked a little-known English chess blogger Jonathan Bryant to ask for evidence. Over the next 18 months, writing on the Streatham and Brixton Chess Blog, Bryant has systematically deconstructed claims that chess helps dementia, in part by showing that the 2003 study ‘Leisure Activities and the Risk of Dementia in the Elderly’ which started the rush to brain training, was merely suggestive and indeed made no mention of chess at all. While the 2003 study found that playing musical instruments, board games and dancing were associated with a lower risk of dementia, the authors cautioned that ‘our findings do not establish a causal relation between participation in leisure activities and dementia,’ and later ‘our findings do not imply that subjects who were less active cognitively increased their risk of dementia.’ Bryant then set about bringing together every study that he could find regarding chess and dementia and found that the evi-

dence was decidedly equivocal. For example, a 2013 French study found a small decline in dementia recorded among board game players, though this seemed to be operating in parallel with a lower rate of depression among the board games players. Bryant is open to the possibility that playing chess might be beneficial – though the findings that brain games offer no protection against dementia for people under 60 are not encouraging – but he is keen to call out the unsubstantiated claims made so often by chess promoters. For amusement, he has also collected front pages from just one English newspaper, the Daily Express, which have promoted methods of avoiding dementia. The list includes vitamin B, aspirin, statins, losing weight, less surgery, less stress, daily walks and even chocolate! Alzheimer’s Australia make the point that ‘The biggest risk factors for dementia are getting older and your genes – things you can’t do anything about.’ Nonetheless, AA recommends certain actions which can make a marginal difference, most notably – and obviously – regular physical and mental activity. Playing chess could be part of this – just don’t expect the wonderful results foreshadowed by Kasparov.

Just a reminder that our office is closed on Monday October 5, which is Labour Day. The union movement, so vilified by hardline capitalists, helped to bring about the so-called ‘eight hour day’, which Labour Day celebrates. The movement advocates eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. People fought hard for this right, so don’t neglect it, otherwise you might find yourself working in a dark satanic mill for 18 hours straight with only laudanum as your true companion. Q Q Q Q

Good announcements last week from Turnbull on family violence funding; we hope most of it goes to the pointy end rather than to advertising agencies.
