Decisions made last Thursday Plans to regulate holiday letting worked their way through Council at last Thursday’s meeting, with a successful vote that will seek to align policy with ‘other local government planning controls relating to more than two substantiated complaints.’ The policy is called Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA), and the NSW Parliamentary Counsel’s Office (PCO) recently rejected Council’s proposal to address more than two substantial complaints of a property. However during debate, Gosford and Wyong councils were named as councils that have adopted a similar policy that Byron Shire Council is seeking. Additionally a six-month moratorium on enforcement action against existing landowners will apply once the policy is gazetted, ‘provided that use does not generate substantiated complaints relating to noise, amenity or public and occupant health and safety issues.’ Also included in Cr Sarah Ndiaye’s (Greens) motion was a request for two staff reports to be presented before year’s end. The first is to provide the ‘legal and planning avenues to ensure “granny flats/secondary dwellings” built without paying Council fees and or contributions are not being used and will not be used for short-term rental accommodation purposes.’ The second report requests advice on the ‘restrictions on Council to set fees on DA applications for short-term rental accommodation or registrations of short-term rental accommodation.’

Face fright

An amendment by Cr Paul Spooner (Country Labor) was knocked back, which accepted the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office amendments but again requested the inclusion of Council’s original point seven for exempt development.

West Byron Another vote and another topic: all councillors – except Cr Alan Hunter, voted for Cr Cate Coorey’s motion to reject a request by West Byron developers to install sewage infrastructure on E2 and E3 environmental zones. The 1988 Byron LEP, or local environment plan, would have needed to be amended for it to occur. Reasons given include incompatibility with zoning objectives and that such changes ‘could set a negative precedent for management of environmental zones throughout the Shire.’ Additionally councillors voted to ‘defer consideration’ of the West Byron development control plan (DCP) until the next Council meeting (Crs Spooner and Hunter voted against). An amendment by Cr Paul Spooner (Country Labor) was defeated, which would have approved the DCP with an additional restriction. That stipulation was ‘Decks and verandahs for secondary dwellings not to exceed 20m2 in area[s] except in the RU1, RU2 and R5 zones.’ Only Crs Spooner and Hunter voted in favour.

Nets rejected, spotting still pursued Council have resolved to partner with Sea Shepherd for a further shark-spotting program while rejecting the offer of nets from the state government. At last Thursday’s council meeting, Byron Shire Council’s Greens majority – with support from Crs Cameron and Hackett – voted as a ‘matter of urgency’ to pursue shark spotting as a non-lethal shark mitigation strategy. Two shark-net proposals – one from Cr Alan Hunter (National Party aligned) and another more detailed plan by Cr Paul Spooner (Country Labor) were knocked back. The vote against nets came despite Neil Cameron, president of Byron Bay Boardriders, telling the chamber in morning access that his club of

around 100 members supports nets. He said he feared that if nothing was done more lives would be lost. The four councillors who voted for Cr Spooner’s shark-net proposal were Crs Basil Cameron (Our Sustainable Future), Crs Jan Hackett, Spooner (both Labor) and Hunter. It asked the state government for the nets as a ‘matter of urgency’. The motion also aimed to respond to entangled sea life through alert beacons and with support by human patrols on beaches, ‘except in the sanctuary zones within the Cape Byron Marine Park.’ Mayor Simon Richardson’s motion was instead voted for (Crs Spooner and Hunter voted against) and he told the chamber he suspects that the relatively low incident level

with nets may be owing to those nets being in areas which are patrolled. The motion will seek to ‘conduct shark-spotting trials at The Pass, Cosy Corner and Broken Head, and to prepare for a summer holiday spotting program at Wategos.’ Gyrocopters and drone trials will also be requested of the state government. Meanwhile, the Ballina Council majority supported a shark net trial motion at their meeting last Thursday. And the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) have invited residents to complete an online survey canvassing community views on a trial of shark nets on locations from Evans Head to Lennox Head. Q The survey is at www.dpi.nsw. gov.au/sharks until November 6.

Byron Shire Greens mayor Simon Richardson has admitted that ‘it may not be a popular conversation to have with our 15,500 ratepayers’ but blames the need for a special rate variation on the state government’s ‘unrealistic rate-pegging’ regime. Council has flagged that it is a requirement of its Fit for the Future plan that rates increase in each of the next three years; the question is by how much. In the next week, ratepayers will receive a booklet, Funding our Future, which will outline the three options. They are: 7.5 per cent, 10 per cent and 12.5 per cent – which Council’s sales pitch has respectively dubbed ‘deteriorate’, ‘maintain’ and ‘improve’. Each of the options includes the estimated rate peg of 2.5 per cent. With many of Byron Shire’s roads now at thirdworld standards, the council says only the highest option of 12.5 per cent would see any dramatic improvement in the state of infrastructure over the period. For an average residential

ratepayer, paying about $1,139 per year, this equates to an increase in the first year of $85 at 7.5 per cent, $114 at 10 per cent and $142 at 12.5 per cent. The council would also borrow an additional $6 million over the four-year period to help reconstruct its failing bridge network. Mayor Richardson said the various options had the potential to raise between $16.5 million and $28 million over the four-year period and this funding would go ‘straight into infrastructure.’ ‘It’s no surprise that 92 per cent of residents who participated in a recent community survey told us that sealed urban roads should be our top priority infrastructure asset. ‘While our efforts in the last four years have clearly shown our commitment to solving this problem – with additional funding being raised from internal savings efficiencies, rationalising under-utilised assets and generating new income through pay parking – it’s still not enough. ‘We’ve not had a special rate variation since 2008/09 and continued unrealistic rate-capping levels has meant that our costs of operation

routinely exceed our major revenue source. ‘Without a rate rise, our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate and we cannot afford to let this happen,’ mayor Richardson said. According to Council, option one at 7.5 per cent ‘still sees some of the council assets continuing to deteriorate and the focus would remain on maintaining poor-condition assets.’ It says that option two, at 10 per cent, ‘would stop the deterioration of assets and funding would be channelled into essential maintenance and renewal programs.’ At 12.5 per cent, option three ‘would see assets gradually improve and Council have the ability to fund some new assets,’ the Council document claims. But there’s a further sting in the tail for ratepayers: at the end of the four-year period, the Special Rate Variation increase would be built into the general rate base and permanently retained. Q Council staff will be out and about in the next four weeks. Days and times are listed within the booklet or at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ funding-our-future.

Homeless funding should be localised The NSW government is to blame for the fact that homelessness in Byron Shire is ‘massively’ above the state average, according to a submission by the Byron Community Centre to the NSW Homelessness Strategy. The centre’s manager and Byron Shire councillor, Paul Spooner, is critical of the NSW Department of Family and Community Services for consistently failing ‘to recognise the overwhelming unmet need and growing demand for affordable housing and homelessness responses in regional areas of NSW.’ The needs of the Byron Shire were particularly un-

met, the submission says. Cr Spooner told The Echo one of the key points was that ‘rough sleepers in the Byron Shire are six times the state average.’ ‘Seventy per cent are not on any public housing waiting list,’ he said, and ‘57 per cent of rough sleepers nominate the lack of affordable housing as the number one priority followed by showers and transport.’ He estimates 57 per cent of rough sleepers are on a disability pension and says ‘a lack of access to mental health, as well as drug and alcohol services, was highlighted.’ Cr Spooner says, ‘Our

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

recent Street Life in Byron Survey has indicated a massive over-representation of people sleeping rough (compared to NSW and national rates) and without other options in the key population centres of Byron Shire.’ One of the community centre’s key recommendations was that funding that responded to homelessness be directed at local government areas, ‘rather than larger regional areas – such as the far north coast region.’ Cr Spooner says this would ‘ensure that responses are based on local need and can be integrated with local council planning processes around

broader community needs. This would allow for prevention and early intervention measures to be much better targeted than at the regional level where no specific accountability exists.’

The Rebuild Nepal initiative by The Crystal Castle and Toni Childs has raised huge funds for the second year in a row after more than $50,000 was raised on Saturday night.

Dollar for dollar The Castle’s Naren King made an impassioned plea for support on the night, which saw many members

of the audience donate up to $5,000 each, which Naren King pledged Crystal Castle would match dollar for dollar. Naren and Toby King have now left for Nepal, where they will film some of the projects they are supporting.

The Mullumbimby Scouts have again done their bit for Graffiti Removal Day this year with the brightening up the local bus stop with a splash of paint. Chairperson of the Mullumbimby Scouts Committee, Rita Youssef-Price, says, ‘Not wanting to outdo Suvira McDonald’s colourful sculpture Enter Here, we’ve kept to the basic colours, but hope to install a chalkboard nearby that kids can use for doodling while they’re waiting for the bus!’

‘We’d like to help make this part of town look and feel a little more loved. ‘Landcare have done some beautiful planting around the river bank and the sculpture walk, and will create an even more special feel along the way. Eventually, the Scouts plan to install some murals for their buildings. ‘Anyone with ideas or interested in helping can contact the Mullumbimby Scouts.’ Q To get involved, contact Stephen Oliver on 6680 1237.

Coastal habitat restoration underway More than 1,000 native trees and 20 hectares of weed control to protect existing coastal habitat have been planted between Brunswick and Ballina says the group overseeing the project. The work is being undertaken by local young people in the federal government’s Green Army program, who are working with volunteers, Indigenous and community groups.

Envite Environment’s Green Army supervisor John McVicar said known biodiversity hotspots are being targeted, ‘with the goal of linking areas of high conservation value for important species, species like the iconic Whitebellied Sea Eagle, the second largest raptor in Australia.’ ‘It is a special thing to be able to work across our coasts through wetlands, rainforest and dunes – it’s inspiring

for our young participants, as these are areas they might not otherwise explore,’ Mr McVicar says. The teams also learn about native plant propagation, weed control and revegetation. ‘It is important that we protect our coast from threats like weeds, particularly invasive weeds like Bitou bush and lantana that can quickly take over,’ John McVicar explained.

Q The next round of Green Army projects at Byron Bay and Ballina will start in early January 2017. Interviews for these projects are being held during November. Young people aged 17 to 24 can gain 20 weeks’ training and experience in environmental conservation over four days per week (30 hours) while being paid an allowance between $614 and $996 per fortnight.

COUNTER-TERRORISM LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL (NO.1) 2016

This proposed law relates to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;control ordersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which at the federal level applies to those who have been associated with a listed terror organisation, engaged in a hostile activity in a foreign country, or has been convicted of a terror-related offence. These orders include constant monitoring and abiding by curfews and other conditions such as suspended passports. According to the NSW Law Society, theÂ legal peak body that analyses proposed legislation, control orders â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do not require proof of an offenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.Â They are concerned that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;their effect may be significantly more onerous than a criminal sentenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Law Society are also particularly concerned that the ramifications of such â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ordersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, when applied to children, may not be understood. The Bill seeks to lower the threshold of orders placed on those from 16 to 14 years old.Â The Law Society also question â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whether prioritising national security interests ahead of the best interests of a child strikes the right balanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Without addressing the core reason that terrorism exists, buttoneddown fascist governments will continue to play the expensive and never-ending terrorist whack-a-mole game.

High rents and low life Affordable-housing rally and forum planned November 12 Mandy Nolan

An affordable-housing rally and forum is planned for Mullumbimby on Saturday November 12 which aims to find real solutions needed for what is fast becoming one of the biggest social issues in our region. Byron Shire councillor Jeannette Martin is one of the organisers – she describes the event as ‘grassroots community focused’ which is endeavouring to bring the conversation on affordable housing to the forefront. ‘Council is always very constrained by the bureaucratic processes,’ says Cr Martin. ‘I see my role at Council as opening up some doors so things can happen.’ ‘While Byron Shire Council are planning a housing summit in the future, that focus will be on upper-level involvement,’ says Cr Martin. ‘This event is because we saw the need for the community to get in and have their say.’ Ms Martin says she has long been aware of the need for affordable housing and the crisis many in the community are facing around securing accommodation. ‘I hear a lot of stories’, she says. ‘People tell me they are desperate to find somewhere to live. I hear that several times a week. I am very concerned by the high rent people are paying.’ Cr Martin believes that these kinds of financial stressors have significant negative

CHESS

by Ian Rogers The most famous blunder in chess history came in the first game of the 1972 World Championship match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. By the time the first game of the title match was played, the title contest had attracted worldwide attention thanks to Fischer’s antics, which not only caused the start of the match to be delayed but also doubled the prize fund. In a dead equal position a couple of hours into the first game of the title match, Fischer grabbed a loose rook pawn, allowing his bishop to be trapped, losing the bishop and the game. (According to a fellow Grandmaster Vlastimil Hort, Fischer later explained the blunder as a deliberate ploy to give Spassky a chance in the match but few believe that excuse.) Since then, professionals and amateurs alike have known that such pawn grabs are fatal but this week Italian Grandmaster Daniel Vocaturo decided to test the conventional wisdom – and lived to tell the tale. In the diagrammed position,

impacts on the overall mental health of the community. ‘Shelter is your basic need,’ she says, ‘but you also need food and to be able to be engaged in your community – when you are in financial stress it is hard to get out there and engage because you are trying to survive.’ ‘It’s definitely getting harder – wages, pensions and unemployment benefits have not increased.’

Opportunism One of the key issues is the thousand-plus studios approved by Council that were supposed to ease the burden on the rental market, yet many are – allegedly – now being used for holiday and short term accommodation. ‘There could even be more than 1,000 operators,’ Cr Martin says. ‘Council is investigating how we can deal with this, how to make it less attractive to rent places out as AirBnB.’ It is the culture of opportunism that she believes has

affected our housing market. We live in a tourist area where supply is low and demand is high. So how do we regulate a rental market? ‘We need to look at how we as a community set some standards – if you have a spare bedroom, why not rent it out… but what fee is actually acceptable and reasonable? You have to meet some sort of acceptable living standard.’ Organisers of the rally have created a survey to ascertain what people’s actual experiences are and where the needs should be addressed.

Solutions The forum will be looking at numerous ideas and possible solutions. ‘There will be a workshop on community land trusts,’ Cr Martin says, ‘which will talk about how people can come together to get land to build houses.’ ‘We are also looking at setting up a renters’ co-op which landlords and renters can join and work together to provide

long-term housing. ‘We are also investigating how can we set up a “tiny house” village; it’s somewhere people can put tiny homes like caravans on properties. There is council land where that could happen… And former councillor candidate James Wright will explain his sleep bus project. One of the most disadvantaged groups is single parents. Cr Martin says, ‘It’s so hard to find somewhere to live that will take children – they are being relegated to the same realm as pets. A common response from those who see housing un-affordability in our region as inevitable is to just “move somewhere else”.’ Cr Martin believes that while on the one hand this is a reality, ‘Who is going to clean your house, serve your coffee, be your secretary or your nurse?’ ‘We have to provide housing for people who provide services and they have to be able to live here.’ According to Cr Martin, the affordable-housing rally and forum won’t be just another talkfest: ‘I hate them – I am over them!’ she says. ‘We want to make this a wholecommunity issue.’ Q Reclaiming our homes rally and action forum is on Saturday November 12. Meet at 10am at the park outside the Byron Shire Council Chambers in Mullumbimby before a walk to the Ex-Services Club where the forum will run from 11am till 4pm.

Local News Weaning ourselves from plastic addictions Sasha Mainsbridge

There’s been more movement away from single-use plastic in Byron Shire, not only with local business but with community group the STEER Project. They provide free breathalysing at local festivals, and have secured a sponsorship deal with local eco-packaging specialists Greenpack to supply them with responsibly made paper straws. They have officially kicked their plastic-straw habit and will see in excess of 20,000 biodegradable straws used over the next three years!

es and are swapping other drinks in plastic as alternatives are found. Mullum’s IGA is obviously booming after kicking its 150,000 plastic bag a year habit; they’re in the final stages of a storewide upgrade that includes box storage behind the registers, so staff can pack a box for you if you forget to

BYO bags (they also have paper bag options available). At Eden’s Landing Fruit & Vegetables, also in Mullum, plans are afoot to stock reusable calico produce bags. The Mullum Music Fest is also committed to reducing drink container waste and is partnering with Mullum Cares to encourage venues to pro-

vide free water-bottle refills. Additionally they aim to make it widely known where revellers can buy reusable water bottles and where they can be refilled. And finally – the highly anticipated drinking and bottle refill station will be installed by Council in time for the Mullum Music Festival. It was partly crowdfunded on the back of the Plastic Free July campaign. According to the Boomerang Alliance, which comprises 45 environmental groups, single-use drink container waste accounts for 33 per cent of the plastic in our oceans.

Fiery crash on Tweed motorway A truck driver was lucky to escape with minor injuries on Friday afternoon after his prime mover smashed into another prime mover parked in a breakdown lane off the motorway near Chinderah, which then burst into flames. The 47-year-old driver

of the parked prime mover was not in his vehicle at the time of the accident, just after 12.30pm on the southbound lanes of the M1 near Clothiers Creek, about 20km east of Murwillumbah. Fire and Rescue NSW officers attended soon after the sec-

ond vehicle burst into flames and extinguished the blaze. The 36-year-old driver of the moving vehicle was taken to Tweed Heads Hospital with a minor neck injury. Police are appealing for witnesses – contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Punters watch Turnbull stagger on

Volume 31 #21

November 2, 2016

A shark cull argument Is it a useful exercise to entertain thoughts without accepting them? Greek philosopher Aristotle thought so. And Mark Twain said, ‘Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.’ Too often, arguments and points of view are accepted without enough critical thought being applied. As such, the following is an attempt to show how a pro-sharkculling position could be presented: The NSW Department of Primary Industries claim ‘nearly all fatal attacks in coastal waters are attributed to just three species: Bull, Tiger and Great White Sharks.’ These are just three out of 180 or so shark species in Australian waters, and if the three species were specifically targeted by a culling program, attacks would logically decrease. Nets and drum lines – which catch other marine life – wouldn’t be necessary if targeted culling were to occur. Not only would the ocean be safer for humans, but also for other shark prey such as dolphins and whales. These highly intelligent mammals raise their young and have complex social structres. Since Great Whites were protected in Australia, approximately two generations have matured. Yet human fishing activities have been ongoing for much longer, which has caused an imbalance of fish stock. It would be a reasonable assumption that culling these three species of shark would allow fish populations to increase. The short-lived 2014 shark cull in Western Australia raised concerns from marine scientists. They argued there there was no scientific evidence to support culling sharks. But such evidence – if it could be produced – may well end up being unreliable. Would fewer Bull, Tiger and Great White sharks mean the marine eco-system would collapse? There simply isn’t that information available, only approximations and estimations. Such scenarios would need to be taken on a case-by-case basis. For example, Hawaii undertook culling from 1959 to 1976 without marine ecology collapse. Regarding the potential collapse of a particular species, biologist Olivia Judson wrote in the New York Times in 2003, ‘The disappearance of a few species, while a pity, does not bring a whole ecosystem crashing down: we’re not left with a wasteland every time a species vanishes. Removing one species sometimes causes shifts in the populations of other species – but different need not mean worse.’ And veteran Australian shark hunter Vic Hislop (retired) says people are ‘brainwashed’ about sharks. He told told Shark Girl aka Madison Stewart in a recent interview that the government lies about sharks to protect tourism. They are sophisticated killing machines, he says, and he has watched their eating habits change in his lifetime. While Hislop says that sharks which are a threat to humans should be culled, the 99 per cent of other species should remain.

Selective facts Finally – fatal shark bites are tragedies for families and communities, and are a very difficult issue to navigate through. Like many other issues that elicit emotion, the issue can be exploited by politicians and, ahem, the media. In large groups, the human species is often led by emotion. That makes mass exploitation and control easier. This can be achieved by using facts and quotes selectively to frame arguments, as was attempted here. Another exploitation of emotion through the use of selective facts is the way in which this government treats refugees while also failing to reflect on why we have them in the first place.

he economic theory known as supply side is better known as trickle down, because it goes something like this. You give large sums of money to those who already have it, because they know the best way to handle it – they will invest it rather than simply trouser the loot. As a result, the benefits trickle down to the rest of the community in the form of more jobs, better productivity and higher wages and conditions. And there may even be a few drops left for those at the very bottom: everyone benefits. The problem is that even if this happy formula works (and history has shown that it seldom does) it is manifestly unfair: the bulk of the cash splash is retained at the top and the rest of the hierarchy scramble to soak up as much of the rest as possible. As a result there is very little left at the bottom, so inequality increases. But the good news is that the economy gets an immediate sugar hit, which delights the bean counters and the politicians who need as many favourable headlines as possible before the next election. For this reason, perhaps, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison embraced the idea of trickle down at the last budget: they offered mammoth, progressive tax cuts to the corporate sector and very little for anyone else. In theory, this would boost jobs and growth, and although the initial cost to revenue would be considerable, in the end the dividends would drive down the deficit and we would all live happily ever after. Of course some of us would live more happily than others, but that’s the way it goes. Unfortunately the voters did not buy it: understandably, they were deeply suspicious of the idea that the moguls would behave in such a far-sighted and even altruistic manner as

the theory suggested. Their belief was that most would simply spend the funds on themselves and their lucky shareholders and would tell their customers to suck it up, as, unfortunately, has all too often been their wont. And importantly, the punters wanted their slice of the money now, not in some dim and improbable future. So many of them locked in a more convincing trickle-down theory of their own: the trickling down of Malcolm Turnbull’s approval rating. Interest-

rison, Christopher Pyne, Michael Keenan, Peter Dutton, Kelly O’Dwyer, George Brandis, George Christensen, the gone but not forgotten Eric Abetz and of course and always Tony Abbott – there are any number of potential punching bags. The buck might stop with him, but surely if the shit is hitting the fan, some of it should land on his colleagues. The problem is that he can’t afford to say so; if he did, they might turn on him and make things even more difficult. So

The appetite for a return to Abbott is confined to the lunar right. by Mungo MacCallum ingly, political trickle down has a lot in common with economic trickle down: the big hit starts right at the top. The prime minister has suffered an immediate and potentially catastrophic fall in the polls, collapsing even below the level maintained by Tony Abbott before the leadership coup of last year. According to Newspoll, Turnbull’s disapproval is considerably worse than that of Bill Shorten, and although he is still leading Shorten as preferred prime minister, the gap is rapidly closing. But so far, to the relief of his colleagues, his government is still clinging on. It is behind the opposition by four points in the two-party-preferred vote, and its primary vote is now under 40 per cent, but the public disillusionment with Turnbull himself has not yet filtered through to the party – well, not yet. And that, Turnbull might well feel, is clearly unjust. After all, not all the stuff-ups have been his fault; there should be plenty of his dysfunctional crew to share the blame. Mor-

he will just have to wear it and accept the melancholy fact that, just as was the case with Abbott, he is the one risking dragging down his government to the point where the slide becomes irredeemable: the point where someone – anyone – is desperate enough to provoke a crisis. Fortunately, this is still a fair distance away, if only because there is no real alternative. The appetite for a return to Abbott is confined to the lunar right and no other contenders are even in the picture. So Turnbull will continue to stumble on, flinging bandaids, nostrums and placebos in the hope that one of them will strike a chord with a seriously disengaged electorate. Typical was last week’s speech by Morrison on housing affordability, in which the only remedy he could propose that was the states should release more residential land to developers. He had no ideas of his own: any suggestions that the Commonwealth should be involved through fixing the tax regime had already been discounted as part of the election

jihad on Shorten and his package of negative gearing and capital gains reform. And even if the states were inclined to co-operate – and there is very little evidence of that – simply allowing more development is not the point. It is highly unlikely to appeal to first home buyers, who do not want more out-of-town properties with no amenities or transport that they actually need, even if they could afford them. Most of the time they can’t, because they would be outbid by investors who have absolutely no interest in actually living in the apartment blocks they own: they are far more concerned with moving into harbourside mansions in the manner of Malcolm Turnbull. And now our preposterous attorney-general, George Brandis, has announced yet another inquiry into Aboriginal custody – a brainstorm that even Turnbull’s own Indigenous Council Chairman, Warren Mundine, denounces as the idea of a dickhead. Turnbull and his ministers are more interested in generating headlines, however ephemeral, than in outcomes: as long as they are busy, as long as they are seen to be doing something, this is sufficient – at least for the moment. And when, and if, they actually get legislation through the senate, it will be spun as a triumph, in spite of the fact that it will either be unpopular with some sections of the public (like cutting parental leave schemes) or irrelevant to the vast bulk of them (like reinstating the Building and Construction Commission). In the end they are concerned not with the quality of the government, but with the quantity of the media it can generate. Their only hope is not that they will make a major breakthrough, but that eventually, if they pile it on hard enough, something will trickle down.

Floodplain plans Anyone who has been paying attention over the last 30 years would know that greenhouse gases are increasing in the atmosphere, global temperatures are increasing, ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Anyone who has thought about the implications of all this for an area with low-lying coastal floodplains would realise that these coastal floodplains will be increasingly flood-liable in the future, and are likely to end up under the ocean in the long term. I was therefore surprised to see that Council’s planning staff have produced a Preliminary Draft Residential Strategy which identifies large areas of floodplain to the south and east of Mullumbimby (areas 13, 14 and 15) as possible areas for residential development even though these

areas are largely below the 1-in-100 year flood level for existing conditions and will be increasingly flood-liable in the future. It seems staff have not been paying attention, so anyone who thinks that Mullumbimby will have enough problems to deal with as flood levels rise without adding to these problems by developing new residential areas on the floodplain should make a submission to council on the Draft Plan by November 11.

Bank DA There is a DA (10.2016.625.1) seeking to allow maximised development of the old ANZ bank building in Mullumbimby. This building was considered worthy of heritage listing under the Community Based Heritage Study

under the guidance of the then heritage Adviser Donald Ellismore but alas, as for so many buildings in our Heritage Conservation Area (HCA), that process was not completed. This results in many buildings in the HCA being left without adequate protection, so we must rely on the democratic process and vigilant community involvement in order to ensure our built heritage retains its uniqueness. I do not subscribe to the modern architectural contrast approach as being a desirable school of thought regarding the preservation of heritage significance. This DA consists of another storey built atop of the existing ANZ bank building and is to be of board and render and to be used as offices cum treatment rooms and deck space (it will be clearly visible from

the street frontage). The backyard is to be built out with one-storey buildings for the purpose of day spa facilities. It appears there is no room even for a shrub or two. No parking is to be provided onsite and the removal of a bank vault is involved. I wonder how intact the ornate ceilings will remain. The exhibition time has elapsed but the DA still should be able to be viewed online. It will come before a planning review meeting soon so there is time to ask councillors to view the DA and to attend that meeting. It is at those planning reviews that it is decided by a majority of councillors present as to whether the DA is to be left in the hands of the planning department (ie refused or allowed under delegated authority) or whether it is to come before Council for determination. I would like to see the DA refused in its current overlyambitious form. I feel it would set an undesirable precedent, in many aspects, for Burringbar Street, particularly when the future of our other major ‘now heritage items’ classified buildings such as the Banana Growers Federation (BGF building) and the adjacent bank building are vulnerable to ‘adaptive reuse’ claims.

Council special rate variation proposal draws flak I have just completed the Byron Shire Council survey on the special rate variation. The last section asking for a rating of options was confusing. Did choosing number 1, for example, mean it was my first choice or did it mean it was my least popular choice? Some clarity is required if an accurate result is to be determined. Further to that, I wish to state my objections to any special rate rise. 1. We were told that the installation of parking meters was to fund infrastructure costs, particularly those caused by the increased burden imposed by so many tourists to our town. 2. My rates are already $900 per quarter. For this I get the dubious pleasure of stumbling along crumbling roads as I walk to town, and little else. Why would I wish to throw good money after bad? 3. Through its open slather holiday-letting policy the council has encouraged unchecked tourism to our region. This policy is not only destroying neighbourhoods but it is placing a big burden on our roads and public amenities. Why should the ratepayers be expected to carry this cost when many of us reap no

asked to subsidise the tourist industry and to pay for the damage which this massive impact on the Shire’s infrastructure is creating. Megafestivals, festivals, schoolies, now Airbnb, the Pacific Highway changes which facilitate Queenslanders over-running the place are all turning the Shire into a tourist nightmare. Let those that say they get a tremendous economic benefit from the invasion pay for it. Sue Arnold Ocean Shores

benefit from tourism? In fact for many residents it has a negative impact on our lives. 4. The council has no proven track record in financial management, so why should we trust that any rate increase will be spent wisely and be to our benefit? Surely some bright spark in Council can come up with a userpays scheme that will place the burden squarely where it belongs.

Or perhaps that bright spark has already moved to Noosa? Louise Andrews Byron Bay Q As a ratepayer I seriously object to

the proposed rate increases. According to news reports, we now have one and half million visitors a year as well as a whopping 1,500 Airbnb accommodations. In effect, ratepayers are being

Ken Gainger and Simon Richardson expect the ratepayers of Byron Shire to accept the fact that a 12.5 per cent rate increase per annum compounded over four years, that then becomes the rate base for this shire, will solve all of our infrastructure problems. This is farcical. The impact of this will be felt by people renting and paying for shared accommodation. This will also force some people to sell their houses and leave the area. The fact is that Byron Shire ratepayers and community members have been totally dudded by BSC over the last 15 years. Supposedly highly qualified people throw their

hands in the air, blame the tourists who come to Byron for creating this problem and tell the ratepayers you will now pay for our incompetence. Are they serious? Why did no-one identify this looming problem and come up with a solution such as a levy on tourism before now? What information was supplied to the state government by Council which convinced the state government that Council met the requirements to be considered fit for the future? It was stated in 2013 by the NSW Treasury Corporation: ‘Based on our review of both the historic financial information and the ten-year financial forecast within Council’s LTFP we consider Council’s financial position to be weak and it is deteriorating in respect of its longer-term sustainability.’ I believe Byron Shire residents need to write to the local government minister and ask for an administrator to be placed in charge at BSC to get this organisation back on track, and if this happens it should not trigger a mass of redundancy payouts. The provisions of the government state award should be followed. Alan Dickens Brunswick Heads

Aff ordable housing and holiday letting Y A W A H S U DON’T FL YOUR LOOT! The pathway to affordable housing is well lit by the CLRI – the Canberra Land Rent Initiative. In the ACT, house blocks are offered on the basis of freehold ownership or leasehold; the former requires a big capital commitment, the latter simply the ability to pay the ground rent. The CLRI enables wouldbe residents meeting specific requirements to pay a ground rent of just two per cent of valuation. See lda.act.gov.au/ en/land-rent-scheme. This is a truly practical way of helping folk build a home – not just ‘get into the housing market’ – for the experience in Canberra is that a good number of the ‘two-percenters’ and other leaseholders, once they get themselves established in life, convert to the freehold option for financial and security reasons. This scheme is possible because the ACT owns the land. If we are serious about affordable housing, we need to focus on replicating the CLRI and leasehold offerings in regions where the potential residential land is privately owned. The key is to place conditions on the land at the time

of ‘change of use’ being granted that requires a good proportion of blocks to be made available to owner-occupiers as leasehold on well-defined terms. Such conditions will reduce the size of the windfall that accrues to the landowner on change of use; as this monetary gain is entirely the gift of the community, there are very good reasons for the community to hang on to part of the gift for social benefit. This is not ‘value capture’ as admired by Baird and Turnbull but ‘value retention’! Why give it away, when we could make good use of it

building social capital? This way, no-one is subsidising the pathway to affordable homes, just the landowner is not getting as big a windfall as otherwise. There are many obstacles along this route but they are worthy of detailed study to surmount them. A lot of attention is given to minute houses and land supply; the former are ‘interesting’ and the latter is well controlled by the real estate industry to limit risk and maximise return. In truth, affordable housing is almost entirely about affordable access to land. Colin Cook Bangalow

Q I refer to A Alley’s letter ‘Illegal letting’ of last week. I just got off the phone to Randwick City Council (28/10/16). I must apologise for claiming the fine is $1.1 million. It is now $5 million. Operating without approval is a crime. The schedule for ongoing activities is now $50,000 a day for corporations, $10,000 a day for individuals. A $3,000 a day on-thespot fine can be issued with no need to prove intent, same as a parking fine. How many times does this have to be repeated? Illegal holiday letting is Byron Shire Council policy. Council knows exactly how to shut it down, just like Randwick Council, going back years. They can shut down permanent illegal letting and Airbnb any time they wish. Look, Byron Shire reelected Richardson with an increased majority. This is what you voted for: threestorey holiday apartments are going to take over unless you develop a fucking backbone.

Wildlife housing strategy is under threat Story & photo Mary Gardner

The northerlies can blow from October till December, but this bird nest will be safe and snug in the branch of an old paperbark tree. I spotted it last week, although I didn’t notice it being built. Made of recycled materials, with a splash of colour, it modestly fits into its setting. To think that every single bird starts life in one sort of nest or another, all dotted around our neighbourhood. Of course the same is true for all the other animals on land and in the water. They have to rely on a longstanding housing strategy for wildlife. But have you heard that their plan is collapsing? Here in the subtropics, the coastal strip only stabilised six thousand years ago. But life on the continent and on the edge of the sea quickly made good use of this new zone. Ever observant, the original human fisher farmers of the region also settled here.

Bundjalung build The coastal Bundjalung housing strategy included a range of cleverly constructed buildings. The options ranged from neighbourhoods of watertight dome buildings accommodating families and larger groups to more widely dispersed smaller structures. There was ample provision for what might be recognised as ‘free camping’, though protocols always applied. Their plan also put specific responsibilities on the inhabitants. Catherin Laudine describes how everyone was born into a totem and raised to observe responsibilities linked to an animal, plant or elemental of the world. Lynne Kelly explains that the complicated oral culture encoded detailed ecological and social knowledge in art work and also committed the meaning to memory through ceremony, ritual and story. What fascinates me are djuribil, ‘sites of increase’. Though many are lost, some are still known. At the most elementary level, these sites of respect for different totems are steeped with cultural meaning and hosted activities about which most of us can only guess. The idea persists as a challenge to our domineering anthrocentric culture: where and what are our sites of increase? What of our responsibilities today to totems and to

saltwater country itself? The Byron Shire part of the coastal strip has a unique responsibility. As a biodiversity ‘hotspot’, a remarkable number of valuable animals and plants still live here, raising the new generation. The animals include aquatic wildlife: from prawn to flathead to seabird, dolphin, shark and whale. The climate and the geology of the Shire collude: high rainfall, soils and sand work together to hold water in wetlands on the driest continent of the planet. Through many pathways, freshwater meets with the sea. This is the full meaning of Cavanbah, the meeting place for freshwater and marine waters and their aquatic wildlife who woo, mate and raise their young.

mountable. Created more as education and experience centres for new fisher farmer

people rather than real estate deals for investors. The list of transforma-

tional work goes on. No more road construction. The ongoing conversion of hard surfaces to permeable ones or at least cushioned with swales and other water-sensitive designs. These measures would also help clean pollution from stormwater and runoff, the toxicity of which damages all wildlife. The effluent from the sewage treatment plant could be piped as recycled water available to every building in Byron from Ewingsdale to Broken Head. If we are to plan for more human housing, let’s first safeguard the wildlife housing. Their different types of blood, from red like ours to green like oysters – all run

thick with life. Coastal people must live differently from inland people. Byron Shire can develop if it embraces the constraints of wet and wild as ‘blue economy’ opportunities. What future awaits the chicks from this nest and other hidden houses depends on our decisions today. Q In October, Mary Gardner was awarded a doctorate by the School of Environment Science and Engineering at Southern Cross University. Her research topic was the last 6,000 years of historical marine ecology in Byron Bay and the neighbouring subtropics. See more of her work at echo.net.au/tangle-of-life.

Clever humans A clever human culture would build into its own housing strategies strong proactive growth plans for their fellow wildlife. Laws would require protecting original sites and adding artificial ones for the housing requirements of possums, koalas, reptiles, frogs and birds. Tree protection. Nest boxes. Created hollows. Neighbourhood watch networks as security systems for wildlife. A self-respecting human culture would protect coastal floodplains east of the highway. Repair the drain networks with cattle-free riparian zones, with vegetation that encouraged aquatic wildlife to a new important abundance. The tendency to flood would be honoured as a regional asset and the basis of marine food security too. Safeguards would prohibit more road construction and severely limit new human housing, all on stilts and de-

Last call on Hillary, Trump, and this grotesque election The US electoral circus episode 15 Phillip Frazer

Latest odds from the poll gurus give Clinton an 82 per cent chance of winning to Trump’s 18 per cent. But there are major unknowns this election, such as: how many voters are telling pollsters they’ll vote for Hillary but will chicken out when the day comes because there’s never been a woman president? Candidate Trump is also a new phenomenon: outrageously disparaging about women, and anyone else who isn’t like him. No-one knows how many people are not admitting to pollsters or their wives that, behind the polling booth curtain, they’re going to vote for the big creepy guy. Election day is next Tuesday, and bad things could happen this week and in the days after, such as: • Fighting in the streets? Trump is whipping up rage among his hardcore fans, screaming that the election is rigged and will be stolen by Clinton and ‘the establishment’. In the real world, elections

are run by local party bosses. Most rigging or stealing is done by Republicans keeping poor people – who tend to vote Democratic – from voting by making registering expensive, time consuming, and unpleasant. Other tricks include having fewer poll stations in poor neighbourhoods, excluding people in jail or who have ever been in jail, taking countless hours to check IDs on chaotic voter rolls, tampering with electronic votes. This year, expect serious intimidation of voters: Trump has exhorted his followers to go to the polling stations and give Hillary supporters hell. If some crazy gunman fired an automatic weapon into a voter line on Tuesday morning – images going worldwide within minutes – the election could be called off. An Elementum poll of 2,000 voters last week found 16 per cent of them plan on buying a gun ‘as a result of the upcoming election’ – mostly Trumpsters gunning for Clintonistas. Jared Halbrook, 25, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, told the New York Times ‘[Clin-

When Hillary became Secretary of State in 2009 she had that home system updated and used it for semi-secure e-chat.

ton] has to go by any means necessary; it will be done.’ There are already 400 million guns in the USA. • Showdown in the Electoral College? The president is chosen by the Electoral College in which each of the 50 states has as many votes as they have seats in Congress. But the college could be stalemated if Clinton and Trump tie with 269 each of the 538 votes, or another candidate wins a state – Libertarian Gary Johnson of New Mexico, or ex-CIA inde-

Funding our future Special Rate Variation Have your say by 28 November Byron Shire Council is seeking feedback on a proposal to apply for a Special Rate Variation. A Special Rate Variation will impact the general rate amount (ordinary land rate) on your rates notice. It will not affect other service charges such as waste, water, sewer and stormwater.

What is being proposed?

We have three options we would like you to consider. Each option has a funding increase and includes the NSW state government’s estimated rate peg of 2.5%; it will also have varying impacts on assets and service quality. The Special Rate Variation would apply to four years and raise between $16 million to $28 million to fund infrastructure maintenance and renewal; it would also include Council borrowing $2 million each year, for three years. At the end of the four year period the Special Rate Variation increase would be built into the general rate base and permanently retained. The three options are:

Option 1. Option 2. Option 3.

increase general rates by 7.5% increase general rates by 10% increase general rates by 12.5

Find out more...

We need your feedback on your preferred option to ensure that we deliver services in line with community expectations and remain ﬁnancially sustainable. You can ﬁnd out more at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/funding-our-future and complete our Survey. If you’d like a copy posted, phone our hotline on 6626 7249.

pendent Evan McCullin in his Mormon state of Utah – preventing Clinton and Trump from getting the magic 270. In either case, members of the House of Representatives would elect a president from the top three, most likely Clinton, Trump or McMullin. If the House can’t agree, the Senate chooses a president from the two vice-presidentials, Tim Kaine (D) or Mike Pence (R), and if the Senate can’t agree, then the Speaker of the House – the House to be elected next week – becomes acting president until either house of Congress picks a winner. Paul Ryan, the current Speaker, who believes no battler deserves a break, could be acting president until 2020. Meanwhile, Clinton’s lawyers are stressing over what to do if Trump simply refuses to concede defeat. And Clinton critics are stressing over whether she’s planning World War III against Russia.

More than a dozen women have gone public about being groped, propositioned, bullied and/or assaulted by the would-be leading man of the free world. None of the women’s accusations will be heard in a courtroom before the election.

And finally, some random factlets about this election • If men were the only voters, the likely result would be 350 electoral votes for Trump versus 188 for Clinton. Trump would romp into the White House. • The US population is 324 million, minus 79 mill kids, minus 21 mill noncitizens, minus 5 mill felons, leaves 220 mill eligible voters. Subtract the 40 per cent who don’t vote (88 million)

and the predicted number of voters is 132 million. • The US ranks 120th of the 169 countries with data on voter turnout, between the Dominican Republic and Benin. • There are now more than 27 million Latino voters, about equal with African-Americans. • Clinton is viewed ‘favourably’ by 45 per cent of voters, Trump by 36 per cent. She is viewed ‘unfavourably’ by 53 per cent, Trump by 61 per cent. • Voters list their top issues as: the economy 23 per cent, jobs ten per cent, government dysfunction 13 per cent, foreign threat 13 per cent, healthcare ten per cent. • Americans trust Clinton more than Trump on taxes, foreign affairs, healthcare, honesty, temperament, and as a strong leader who ‘cares about you’ and ‘shares your values’. They rate Trump higher of the two candidates for ‘saying what they believe’. • Choosing the president through the Electoral College, rather than via popular vote, means only a few states are competitive. Most presidential campaigns and the media spend their time and money in ten swing states and all but ignore the other 40 states. Phillip Frazer fears there will be no respite from the US political circus any time soon. He’ll keep watch from coorabellridge.com.

Hillary’s emails – WTF? A popular article last week was headlined: ‘Admit it: You Don’t Actually Know What the Clinton Email Controversy Is.’ President Bill Clinton had a secure email server installed LETTERS continued from page 11 an ecosystem-wide grade of E (very poor). The report names climate change as ‘the most serious threat’ and the warming and acidification of the oceans is widely acknowledged as the cause of the massive coral bleaching last summer.

known is the more localised damage done by farming of animals for meat in the reef catchment area. The Department of Primary Industries estimates that there are four to five million cattle grazing in the reef catchment area, which results in extensive land clearing, widespread soil erosion, and the flow of eroded material, with associated nutrients, into the World Heritage Area. Grazing of cattle for beef is, according to the Marine Park Authority, ‘the largest single

land use on the catchment’. Saving the reef, and combating climate change globally, demand urgent answers. Solutions which involve reducing fossil fuels require decades of preparation and billions of dollars. Yet the most effective way to stop climate change and save the reef is available to every one of us three times daily: just leave meat off our plates.

Where have all the people gone? Story & image S Sorrensen

It’s quiet. I hear only the sounds of the bush garden. The verandah outside the university classroom is deserted. A few minutes ago, students from many places around this wee planet were gathered, post English lesson, in noisy conversation, creating an excited human hubbub amongst the cicada carolling. Now there is only quiet. As if. Students do not gather in noisy conversation any more; they sit in cyber isolation, staring at their enhanced palms, their thumbs dancing like naked fat ballerinas over a small, shiny stage, their minds as disconnected from the physical reality around them as is possible without dying. It’s quiet here, now the students are gone. It was quiet when the students were here. A dozen students were hunched over their phones. Each was a solar system separated from the other by the silent noisiness of cyberspace. Each was a planet caught in a blue sun’s gravity, spinning round it. I passed by the students, a smile at the ready in case of acknowledgement, but they didn’t see me. I was a phantom; the ghost who walks by. Now the verandah is empty, the quietness makes more sense. But I hear a scrabbling sound: A water dragon, from the little creek nearby, darts across the pebbles barely a metre from me. The water dragon stops, cocks its head,

They’re a haven for wildlife, and perfect for peaceful reflection as you eat lunch. But mostly the students sit here at these plastic tables, eating lunch with one hand as the other keys them into the virtual world they have missed for an hour or two. The coffee is instant and cold (left over from lunch), but it tastes good. I certainly don’t blame the students for their smartphone obsession.

Yes, we are leaving the world behind; leaving it to its own fate; abandoning it to the exploiters and sociopaths as we move into our new webworlds, logging into little bubbles of make-believe, which may very well outlast the real world, depending on battery life. The university is quiet. Except for the cicadas buzzing like terra tinnitus, screaming for attention on behalf of the trees and forests, of the creeks and oceans, of the water dragons and living things: ‘Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Is...’ No. Well, I am. (But I will leave soon, drive home and check my emails.) I hear a voice. It laughs and chats. It approaches. Could there be another person in this emptiness?

Someone sharing the moment? No. A young bloke with white cords trailling from his ears passes by the verandah, talking. He’s alone. He strolls past me and the water dragon, his mouth speaking, his eyes blind to us – and is gone. Somewhere inside the building a phone rings. Outside, a beep-beep-beep signals a vehicle reversing, and a weet-weet-weet indicates the territorial claim of a noisy miner. A palm frond smashes onto the creek stones, sending the water dragon scampering back under the verandah. And always the cicadas. (I think they live in my head.) The emptiness is deafening.

The Bentley Effect: why community energy will power our future Giles Parkinson

There is a moment towards the end of the newly completed documentary The Bentley Effect that will cause politicians, fossil fuel developers and major corporations to wince: ‘We won,’ says Meg Neilson, a former accountant and local landowner. ‘We took on the big boys and we kicked their arse.’ The Bentley Effect chronicles the community fight against coal seam gas in the northern rivers, from early defeats to the resounding victory at Bentley, where more than 5,000 people gathered to show their opposition to a CSG drilling program by the listed company Metgasco. They finally won when the heads of a proposed 850 police force realised that their members would be stared down by the mass of farmers, landowners, mums, dads, scientists, local business people and activists – who had organised themselves to rally against the unconventional gas invasion. The politicians had no choice but to defuse the situation by rescinding the licence, and a moratorium has been in place ever since.

‘This is a great moment for democracy and will resound around the planet, and we will continue to roll this invasive, unsafe and dirty industry backwards,’ Ian Gaillard, a carpenter and one of the chief organisers, tells the film. ‘What we’re seeing here is the death throes of the carbon industry. It is not just

about Bentley, not just about the northern rivers, it’s a huge movement that we are starting here.’ ‘The world is watching us, this is only the beginning,’ adds Simon Clough, a mediator and then deputy mayor of Lismore. ‘We are sending a message to government that this is what communities can

do when they come together.’ The Bentley Effect made its debut at the Byron Bay Film Festival, where the gripping and moving film – a near six-year labour of love from director-producer Brendan Shoebridge – received a standing ovation for more than five minutes and was voted best local film.

Pressure That reception was to be expected, given it was an enormous local issue. But as Gaillard and Clough point out in the film, it has broader significance, particularly at a time of intense pressure from industry to reopen Australia’s coal seam gas reserves and allow new coal mines, while in the meantime state and federal governments have removed the right to protest and are threatening to introduce legislation that will prevent environmental groups from taking legal action. And it’s not just a story of a remarkable and heroic social movement. There is a broader message to corporate Australia and to governments about their inability to see beyond their short-term profit motive or political gain. They didn’t see it coming – witness the delightful scenes of the local member, and the former planning minister Brad Hazzard and his bureaucrats looking completely overwhelmed and mystified. And they still don’t get it, or understand what a shift to an energy democracy means. It is not just about a choice to have clean energy, it’s also a declaration against greed. And community energy is not 20 November 2, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

just a social movement, it is a perfectly valid technology and business alternative. It is no coincidence that Byron Bay-based community-owned energy retailer Enova, the first energy retailer in Australia to adopt a community-funded and communityowned model, has become the major sponsor of the film. Chair woman Alison Crook, AO, who has a distinguished career in business and administration, says it was the Bentley protests that planted the seed of the idea for a community energy retailer.

Without gas ‘It was a need to demonstrate to government that it is untrue to say that there is an energy shortage, that this region is perfectly capable of doing without that gas,’ she tells RenewEconomy. ‘And the only way to stop them in their tracks is to do something constructive and show them that it isn’t necessary. We’re committed to finding a practical solution to making renewable energy affordable and available to anyone who wants it. And we found it.’ Indeed, Enova reached its start-up goal of raising $4 million in capital on the very day that the mining licence in Bentley was rescinded. Enova is now rolling out its community retail model to consumers in the region. Its profits stay local and are reinvested in local renewable energy. ‘We have developed a renewable energy supply model that can be emulated in other small communities all over Australia,’ Crook says. ‘The

Enova Energy solution is simple, but it has far-reaching potential.’ Crook says that the leaders of big power companies are beginning to understand what this means, ‘but I don’t think that the politicians have got it yet.’ And what is it that the politicians have not understood? It’s the environmental factor – the desire to stop greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution from massive carbon bombs like the proposed Adani coal and coal seam gas reserves. It’s the attraction of renewable energy; wind and solar in particular. And it’s the new technologies and the plunging costs that bring this together and make renewables a more affordable, more reliable alternative to dirty and expensive centralised fossil fuel power generation.

Profit motive The big utilities and their representatives, meanwhile, are either kidding themselves about the changes around them, or too busy trying to extract maximum profits from their incumbent assets while they can. ‘The risk is that they overplay their hand,’ Crook says. Witness the reaction to the extreme pricing events in South Australia and the statewide blackout. Witness the opposition of incumbent interests to rule changes that could open the path to more efficient and cheaper technology alternatives. Witness the push for tariff changes to make solar and even battery storage less attractive. Witness the brave suggestion from the network lobby that a $25/year discount on Australia’s absurdly high grid charges could somehow convince households and businesses to stay on the grid. And that leads to what is probably the underlying message from The Bentley Effect. That is that the community cares, and it now has technology choices that can offer cheaper and more reliable power. Not only does the community have the will, it also has the means. Article first published on reneweconomy.com.au, of which Giles Parkinson is editor.

Easy does it: Simple materials like paper, cardboard, glass jars and bottles, metal cans and aerosols, cartons and rigid plastics are easy to recycle and accepted in almost all kerbside collections.

Keep It Clean-ish: Recycling does not need to be spotless – just scrape off solid food and give it a quick rinse.

Drop ’Em Off: Kerbside systems cannot separate items like mobiles, computers, batteries and printer cartridges – find local drop-off services.

If in doubt: Leave it out! Putting the wrong thing in the wrong bin can ruin your good recycling efforts.

Into the Garbage: Crockery, window and drinkware glass, polystyrene, plastic bags, nappies and food are the big baddies in the recycling.

Buy it Back: Look for recycled products, like Planet Ark Paper and Naturale Toilet Tissue to close the recycle cycle.

Green bins and cafe waste assessments Commercial green bins are now available to small businesses in the Byron town centre and A&I estate. They are much cheaper then regular bins so it’s a smart way to reduce overheads while ensuring that compostable waste is being diverted from landfill. The bins are collected three times a week so a business of any size can enjoy the benefits. What’s more Cool Planet is also offering free hospitality waste assessments as part of the state government’s Love Food Hate Waste program. This program provides free professional advice and resources to local cafes and restaurants that want to reduce food waste and save money. Phone Daniel at Cool Planet on 1300 687 888 for further information.

Op shop gets quirkier! The Global Ripple Op Shop in the Byron industrial estate is a local charity raising money for local and overseas aid, successfully operating for over five months. A recent addition to the Op Shop is the sewing room, operated by Christine Klemens. Christine redesigns the recycled clothing into new bespoke designs. ‘There are enough clothes already produced to clothe the entire world’, says Christine, ‘yet a majority of them end up as landfill.’ Christine has been redesigning recycled clothing for a couple of years and is excited about joining the Global Ripple Op Shop with her new label and shop Serendipity. Her quirky upcycled garments will be featured in a fashion show at Global Ripple Op Shop this Saturday, Nov 5 at 2pm. New open hours 9am–4pm this Saturday and throughout the summer. Live music will be a regular event! The Global Ripple Op Shop, 71 Banksia Drive, Byron Arts & Industry Estate 0457 192 225 North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

New recycling bins on the way for Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads The eye-catching new bins will improve Byron Shire’s public place recycling program, with a total of 71 new recycling bins being installed in both towns by end March 2017. The project will also include the trial of an organics recycling bin in Apex Park. The first stage, which includes upgrades along the Byron Bay foreshore along to Clarkes Beach and Wategos is anticipated to be complete by mid-November 2016. The second stage will extend into the Byron Bay town centre and Brunswick Heads in early 2017, after the busy Christmas and New Year period. Public place recycling roll-out in Mullumbimby and Bangalow is planned for later in 2017. We ask our community to lead by example and use the new recycling and general waste bin correctly. For more information www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

Aussie house hunters sold on speed Fast broadband brings new age of ‘virtual agents’ Forget parking spaces and pools, a fast broadband connection is one of the key purchasing decisions for future homebuyers, according to new research. The NBN Ready Homes report reveals that when searching for a new property, the majority (80 per cent) of Aussie house hunters rate a good broadband service as a major factor in

their decision-making process. Two-thirds (66 per cent) of Aussie buyers say they would negotiate a lower price or even reject their potential home altogether (16 per cent), if it is not available. NBNs general manager of build partnerships Julian Nachmias said: ‘For many buyers, a fast internet connection is no longer a luxury, it’s an expected addition to Australian properties’. ‘Whether you’re a prospective buyer with a large family, a young couple who works from home or retirees with a passion for online entertainment, access to fast broadband is increasingly as important as having running water and electricity available in your home.’

Michael Murray from Byron Property Search is compiling top five tips on being a better negotiator from what he has learned from his 15 years as being a buyers agent. ‘When

I first started as a property buyers agent over 15 years ago, I thought I would have to learn how to be a tough negotiator. I imagined I would be standing up to those pushy agents and getting a great deal for my clients. How wrong was I and I think it’s interesting what I’ve learnt over the years. ‘I was provoked into thinking about this with all the 24/7 news about Donald Trump. I realised there are two different ways to do negotiation: ‘adversarial’ or ‘relational’. Mr Trump is obviously an adversarial negotiator. These days, that style and behaviour is probably outmoded, outdated and basically dysfunctional. ‘I have found that the best deals and best outcomes always happen after building a strong relationship with whomever I am dealing with. As a buyers agent, my focus is to uncover

all the relevant facts first and then use that information transparently so everyone is on the same page. Build a relationship that is open and transparent with the idea of attaining the best outcome for all involved.’ His top five tips and other valuable information can be found at byronpropertyserach. com.au.

Blended Families and Will Making A common issue that arises when making a Will are:

Bali meets the Med! Imagine this: Elevated, private, perfectly positioned, passive solar design with high ceilings and breezeways, big verandahs, timeless ambience, drought proof spring fed water supply and a garden to feed the whole family. This really is a self sufficient parcel close to Mullumbimby with views to the Cape and just 4 minutes to Shearwater Steiner School. Features include lots of natural timber work, slow combustion fire, fully self contained guest quarters and around 150 productive fruit and nut trees. As a matter of interest, you’ll be amazed at the range of flora including Fragrant Myrtles, seeds from which are preserved in ‘The Millenium Seed Bank’ in the United Kingdom. This is a very special freehold 2 acre parcel on a 102 acre holding devoted to bush regeneration and saving our natural environment. Best of all, the hard work has been done!

Wake up to your own private sanctuary in the beautiful Byron Bay hinterland on this sensational 16 acre bush block. Sitting on the edge of the escarpment you are afforded some of the best views in the shire while insuring total serenity and privacy. The property has DA approved plans for a futuristic, designer home which will flow out over the cliff edge taking full advantage of the panorama. Alternatively, create your own piece of paradise on this pristine blank canvas, the possibilities are endless. Plans are available to view on request.

1. how to leave your estate to your spouse and prevent children or step children from making a claim on your estate; and 2. how to leave your estate (predominantly to your spouse) whilst ensuring your children benefit on the death of your spouse. It’s been years since the attitude of, “it’s my stuff, I can leave it to whoever I like”, has been acceptable. The duty to ‘adequately’ provide for your beneficiaries must be given very careful consideration, if you want to minimise the risk of a Family Provision Claim against your estate. Leaving children a ‘token amount’ does not prevent them from making a claim on your estate. Sometimes, this can be like ‘waving a red flag’ in front of a bull. Family Provision Claims can be expensive, stressful, antagonistic and disappointing; and costs are often borne by the estate. Do you need to review your current Will?

The Good Life

Ocean Shores Snippets Chefs at 20 paces Story and photos by Vivienne Pearson

Much has changed in the quarter-century since the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sausage Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opened up shop 25 years ago. In addition to the butcher and the Tavern (see stories opposite), Ocean Shores Shopping Centre now boasts nine food- and drink-based businesses. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a snippet on each.

LONGTIME HEALTH FOCUS:

Four local families have banded together with the aim of making healthy living affordable to all. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a group effort,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Samidha Mayfield, a chef who is one of the team that includes an architect (who designed the light-filled shop) and youth, community and disability workers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are aiming for zero waste and plan to add bulk refrigerated items, like kombucha on tap.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Outside, next to Tides/ My Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen, open 7 days. Facebook: / foodculturebulkfoods

GAGA FOR PIZZA & MORE:

John (aka Mop) and Gareth face off A pharmacy wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually feature in The Good Life but John Geddes Pharmacy is no ordinary chemist. For 16 years, they have combined modern with traditional medicine and consider food one part of the latter. In addition to having a Herbalist (James) and Naturopath (Paul) there most days, Tibby is known as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food Guruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The shop stocks a range of bulk foods as well as bread, honey and packaged teas and spices. Just inside the centre, phone 6680 1252.

A SABI AESTHETIC:

Business partners Anna Steele and Pierre Sauvere are celebrating three years of owning GaGa Central, bought after both worked for the previous owner. Good coffee is also a speciality, as are juices and smoothies. GaGa has one section dedicated to pizza and the rest has a surprisingly large array of foods, including dips, cakes, sandwiches and pastry rolls. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have a big range of healthy treats,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Anna before adding: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But then we also have baklava, which is full of sugar, flour and nuts!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And they deliver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pizza, dessert and drink deliveries available within Ocean Shores, Billinudgel and Brunswick Heads. Inside, open 8amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;8pm 7 days. Phone 6680 1312.

15 YEARS & STILL BAKING: The name for Sabi Sushi is derived from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wabi-sabiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a key Japanese concept of aesthetics stemming from their ancient tea culture. The store has a beautiful aesthetic, with wooden tables and benches from which to choose on the sushi train, and watch the chefs prepare the next round. Local sourcing is key for the business, with coffee from Moonshine, Byron Brownies, and seafood from Bay Seafood. Outside, phone 6680 2346.

THE TIDE IS TURNING:

Tides CafĂŠ recently changed hands. New owner Winter Selek plans to continue to offer the burgers (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;they have such a following,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says). In addition, she will introduce food from her Greek / Turkish origins. My Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen, the planned new name, will focus on share platters and will showcase other female chefs. Outside, phone 6680 2346.

NEW KIDS IN TOWN:

Food Culture is a new bulk and wholefoods store that opened just over a month ago.

Celebrating 15 years in business this year, Ocean Shores Bakery would like to thank their loyal local customers, of whom there was a steady flow while I visited. Baker Brad Trivett and his mum, Dianne, are the mainstays of the business, which also employs three apprentices and one other qualified baker. Everything you see instore is made on the premises, including Bradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sourdough loaves. Outside, Open 7 days from 5am (to 5pm weekdays and 3/2pm on weekends). Phone 6680 1822.

CORN & MORE:

Cobba Corn is a great option for fresh fruit and veges, especially as they have a strong emphasis on sourcing locally. Less obvious are their supplies of legumes and spices, including amchur powder, chat masala and black cardamon. Inside, open seven days. Phone 6680 3944.

TIME FOR A TIPPLE?: Ocean Shores boasts two bottle shops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cellarbrations (inside the centre) and Bottlemart (next to the Tavern). If you are the sort of person who likes to share your custom around different local businesses, you need not worry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both are owned by the same team that own the Tavern. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they are the same though. Adam Berger, one of the three owners, encourages people to compare prices. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Because they are different banner groups, they have different prices on everyday items as well as different specials.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

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

Story by Vivienne Pearson Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that, despite living just around the corner from each other as kids, chefs Gareth Sampson and John Westcott didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet until they were adults. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met in high school, we would never have been friends,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Gareth, referring to the fact that while John was a public school boy, Gareth was at Toowoomba Grammar, meaning there would have been automatic rivalry between them. These days, the two are not only great friends but they work together and live together. They are the chefs at the Ocean Shores Tavern Kitchen, having taken over six months ago, along with Garethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Jill, who is also a mean (as in good, not nasty) cook. The potential rivalry of their youth now has a chance to come to the fore at the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Battle of the Chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dinner this coming Monday night. Diners will be the judges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each tasting and scoring eight dishes (each chef prepares four half-portion serves) to determine a winner. The scoring will be blind (diners wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which chef cooked each dish) so the competition is real. But it is also friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working out our dishes separately but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help each other plate up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Gareth. One aim is to showcase local seafood, which they think is underrated, so the three savoury dishes will feature prawns, scallops and fish. Other aims are to have some fun, challenge themselves and showcase their skills. Both have worked in top restaurants since meeting in the hospitality scene in Toowoomba as young adults. Gareth has worked at both Byron at Byron and Raeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. John, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, worked locally at Table View and, before that, at a 5-star resort at Airlie Beach. Their regular menu demonstrates a mix of this cooking skill and their downto-earth irreverence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with subheadings like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rabbit Foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (for the salads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the roasted pear salad is amazing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says John) and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Things Squashed Between Breadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The mains and specials are where the finer side of life is shown. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Some regulars, many of who eat here twice a week or more, just walk in and order the special without even thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they trust that it will be good,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Gareth. The friendliness extends to the wider team at The Tavern. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We run the kitchen separately but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a different name,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Gareth adding: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We all get along so well.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Maybe this is not surprising given that his (and Jillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) decision to take on the kitchen started with Gareth, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;having a beer at the bar and chatting to Adzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Adam Berger, one of The Tavern owners). You can help stir up the rivalry by being one of the limited numbers of diner-judges at the Battle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Monday 7 November 6.15pm. Bookings at the Tavern Bar or on 6680 3222. Ocean Shores Tavern is located in the Ocean Shores Shopping Centre, Rajah Road. Facebook: /OceanShoresTavern.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for! Enjoy a hearty breakfast and soak up the views on the new deck. Whale watching season is in full swing so the deck is the perfect spot to feast, relax and share the sights with family or friends.

Sausage King

Rum auction Poinciana tree

Where does a butcher take his annual holiday? At the Australian Meat Industry Council’s National competition, of course.

Agricole rums account for only 1–2 per cent of the world’s rum production, and Husk Distillers has added an Australian twist, using malt whisky distillation methods with first-press virgin cane juice crushed from sugarcane grown at their Tumbulgum plantation.

Photos & Story by: Vivienne Pearson

Ocean Shores Butcher Garry Leeson, as well as his partner in business and life, Felicity Hanna, already have their 2017 holiday planned. They will visit Tasmania, where they will again compete for the title of Sausage King. They won the title in 2014, were runnerup in 2015 but missed out on the chance to compete in 2016 thanks to ‘only’ coming second in the state level competition. Garry has entered the poultry section of the sausage competition since 2011, encouraged by customers who kept telling him how much they loved his sausages. ‘We entered a duck and orange sausage and were runner up, so we knew we were onto something,’ says Garry. He continued to experiment with recipes (‘Our son does a lot of the tasting,’ Garry says) and this year are showcasing their chicken, spinach and macadamia sausage. Other categories emphasize tradition but the poultry section rewards strong flavor and innovation – with the caveat that the entry needs to be commercially available from the butcher. Both Felicity and Garry grew up on land in this area. ‘I used to drive trucks and harvesters and kill sheep,’ says Felicity of her time on a 10,000 acre farm. Garry’s grandfather was an early pioneer at Whian Whian and Garry grew up on a dairy farm before heading to the Northern Territory

to work. This is where he learned to make buffalo smallgoods, something he still does, with the help of a small smoker at the back of their shop. Felicity and Garry started their butcher shop in Ocean Shores 25 years ago. ‘It was all grass out there,’ says Garry pointing towards the large carpark. ‘It was just us and an independent supermarket.’ Needless to say, their shop is a fair bit busier than it was in those days, and they appreciate the extra pair of hands of nearly-finished apprentice Luke who has worked there since he was in high school. Garry reports a culture of friendly rivalry in the sausage and smallgoods industry. He sees the awards as a way of ‘trying to lift the level through competition’. Wishing someone luck isn’t a usual thing to do before a holiday but in Garry and Felicity’s case, it is the perfect send-off. Ocean Shores Butcher is at Shop 12, Ocean Shores Shopping Centre, Rajah Road. Mon– Fri 7am–5pm and Saturdays 7am–noon.

Husk Distillers, maker of Ink Gin, is Australia’s only plantation rum distillery, producing a unique Australian expression: agricole rum.

What to do when your venue is named after an iconic Poinciana tree, and your tree has become infected? According the QLD government information, Phellinus noxius is a fungus, found naturally in rainforests, that has spread to plantations and orchards affecting some 200 species including native and introduced trees, shrubs and palms. While it kills trees in the rainforest, it is particularly a problem in urban and amenity environments, killing some iconic specimens within city gardens. The fungus spreads from the stumps and roots of other infected trees, and can remain in the soil for up to 60 years. The Poinciana in the eponymous Mullum cafe has caught the disease; in older trees the leaves turn chlorotic followed by thinning of the crown, with tree death taking years to occur. Owner Moni Emilio says the tree, whose leaves are still green because photosynthesis is keeping the tree alive, will remain supported onsite for another 2–3 years.

Their rum sells out very quickly, and a special bottle 001 of the 1866 Tumbulgum Rum is likely to fetch a very good price at an online auction held to raise funds for the Tumbulgum Community Association. The auction is at https://www.32auctions. com/TumbulgumRum and starts TODAY!

Byron Bay Brewery is this month featuring local photographer Daniel Cordero. ‘Byron has some great artists and we’d like to support them with our revolving art wall’, said Brewery manager Adam Keane.

ALL YOUR NORTH COAST ENTERTAINMENT

DANCE WITH YOUR SOUL HALF CARIBBEAN AND H A L F F R E N C H , PA R I S DW E L L I N G A N A I S M I L L I O N I S A L L DA N C E R .

Four things are important, for leader and follower:

Starting out as a gymnast, then moving on to ballet, it is in Kizoomba that she has become internationally renowned.

3. Dance with your soul: Don’t be the copy of the other dancers. Style is something personal, and if you want to share, you have to share with your soul.

She is one of the featured dancers and instructors at the Byron Latin Fiesta this weekend. Tell me, what is Kizomba… and how did you find yourself drawn to it? My sister Noémie, and Leon Rose, international salsa dancers, organised the first Kizomba party in France in 2009, Agua. I was working in the party, and I discovered Kizomba here. I didn’t dance Kizomba in this period, but I loved to look at the people dancing. I’m originally from a Caribbean island (Martinique), so I grew up with Zouk (music and dance). I listened to this a lot. When I saw people dancing Kizomba the first time, it was for me a different way to dance Zouk. I couldn’t see the difference between the music; for me it was Zouk singing in Portugese. I just wanted to learn a little to dance during my work break, but I didn’t have time. I met my first partner Morenasso at a party. He invited me to dance. It was in November 2009. He showed me how to follow him. Three months later he asked me to participate to the Africadançar contest with him. We represented France in Portugal – and our career started there. How do you feel when you dance? The association with the music and the dance speak to me more than any other. When I'm dancing I feel free, somewhere else. I enter into myself to improve my dance. My dance is the reflection of my soul, expression of my secret, my modesty and my feelings. What attributes does a dancer need to be a great Kisomba dancer?

LIVE MUSIC...P38 | CULTURE...P42 | CINEMA...P43

1. Technique: It’s a couple dance; you need to be clear with your technique. All your movement has an impact on the other dancer. 2. Music: To know how to play with all the music, not only the principal rhythm.

4. Dance to share, not only to improve yourself. How did you family influence your evolution as a dancer? My mother was a dance teacher when I was younger. My sister was a former international salsa dancer, and she pushed me to enter the Africadançar contest. Afterwards she gave me some help to clean up my dance, and how to work the salsa world. She pushed me to lead, to be better in pedagogy and be more independent in my teaching. So I did it. Today, they still support me in my project. What has dance given you – has it been an amazing life? Dancing gives me a lot professionally and personally. Travelling is very exciting when you start, because you go to a different country every weekend. But in reality, it’s more moving than travelling. Most of time we stay three days in the place, and the only things that you can see are the airport and the hotel. We run from one airport to another, one dance school to another, one festival to another. The only moment we can see the country is during the tours.

IN YOUR ELEMENT

C R E AT O R O F T H E I S L A N D E L E M E N T S F E ST I VA L E M M A- L E E L U T H E R S P O K E W I T H T H E E C H O A B O U T W H AT ’ S I N S T O R E T H I S W E E K E N D AT B E A U T I F U L N O RT H ST R A D B RO K E .

In these seven years of travel, the best for me was to meet different people from different cultures. We speak English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and even if we are not perfect, we can communicate. We share a lot about life, and dance. I meet beautiful people!

What is the inspiration for Island Elements?

What should we expect for your shows and classes at Byron Latin Fiesta?

How does the environment enhance your event?

Students come to my classes because they know that they will learn. I have the reputation of teaching with precision. I take the time to explain movements and steps, for leaders and followers, and to correct my students. And I think I’m funny sometimes (French jokes – a-hah). To find out more about this very exciting weekend of dance and music, happening in Byron and centred around the Byron Theatre from Friday to Sunday, go to byronlatinfiesta.com.au.

The inspiration behind Island Elements was to blend the retreat model with a chilled-out music vibe. It’s not all about yoga; there are evening concerts, weaving, dance, art and movement workshops in the idyllic North Stradbroke Island beachside setting. Being able to jump straight in the ocean after a class is right up there! Being able to see the sunrise and sunset on the island, the beautiful wildlife, and the gentle island breezes make it pretty special too. Set in the beachfront Adder Rock Campground, we have strong connections with the local Quandamooka people, who bring not only cultural workshops to the festival but the warm good vibes they are renowned for. Held the first week of November, it’s not too hot and the seas are more gentle. North Stradbroke Island is such a special place and we often forget how close it is to our home in Byron. I’m looking forward to some island time!

sacrifice and belief and that true power can exist within a tiny young girl with no physical strength. Empowerment for women is not about physical strength. It is our tenacity. Our solidarity. Our ability to put beliefs before self-interest. Wonder Woman is pretend. Malala is flesh and blood. How can we be inspired by make-believe? Is female power still so mythological that we must resort to role modelling cartoon characters? Must we show skin to be powerful? Must we be conventionally beautiful? Previous Miss World America Lynda Carter, who starred as Wonder Woman back in the 1970s, was there at the United Nations event to tell girls they could do and be anything. It was weird. Patronising. I would even say, stupid.

What would Lynda Carter know? She’s an actress who was playing the character of Wonder Woman. She’s not actually Wonder Woman. She never risked her life to fight for education. She got paid lots of money to be on TV. How is that a role model? And why are we telling women they can do everything anyway? Isn’t this belief that we have to be so completely over the top in our achievement causing us harm? And shouldn’t the United Nations be choosing someone who represents, dare I say it, all nations? Or at the very least be avoiding dominant culture? Wonder Woman is a white woman with big tits in a revealing bathing costume emblazoned with the American flag. It seems like

a questionable choice for an honorary ambassador. They might as well have chosen Sabrina the teenage witch or Miss Piggy. For a start most of the world is brown, or at the very least not white. Why have we chosen a minority to represent the majority? The world’s largest ethnic group is Chinese. And why isn’t she wearing pants? How does a fictitious American superhero appeal to Muslim girls in The Chad? Or Ethiopia? Or even Lakemba? Imagine if they’d chosen Kamala Khan, a fictional female Muslim superhero! There would be outrage. I guess it’s no surprise that Warner Brothers are releasing a new version of Wonder Woman into cinemas mid next year. It would seem that even the choice of our role models for empowerment are just culturally insensitive and over-sexualised product placements for corporations. And that doesn’t empower women one little bit.

THE FERAMONES AT THE BYRON SERVICES CLUB ON SUNDAY ‘I grew up in Boise, Idaho, the capital of the state, that was where I was born and raised, but on the weekends we would go to this little town in the mountains called Idaho City. It used to be the capital of the northwest but now it has a population 400 – it’s the ghost town of the title of my album. When I was growing up it was like my second home town. My family has had land there for generations; we go as far back as the Europeans go in that area, so it’s really home to me.’ It’s the romance of these places, the magic that exists in the shadows that Jewell traverses with that voice. That effortless voice that carries the hint of Loretta Lyn.

We knew we couldn’t afford anything in the Boston area so we moved across the country; and it’s practical – for the same amount we were paying in rent in the Boston area we are now paying our mortgage. It was good timing we weren’t planning it. A year later we got pregnant with our little girl…’ Like her ghost town, since becoming a parent things have changed for Jewell.

‘It’s much harder in a way [with a child] because you used to be able to make these decisions to go on the road and Jewell loves these places. They speak to her. it would just be us. We could do an 8-hour drive and play a show right after. You just can’t do that to a little girl – she’s ‘I feel ghost towns and sundowns are very iconic western about two and a half – she’s in the van for about four hours, images,’ she says. her maximum. It’s shrunk our touring in a way; we fly more, ‘You find ghost towns where there was a gold rush. There is this ongoing love affair with the west, and specifically with that but we kind of had to reinvent touring for ourselves. She doesn’t sleep all that well; in spite of all of that I just love it particular town. When I moved back home in 2012 I wanted and I feel like it’s better now then it used to be. We have to to capture as many images as I could about that place and what it means to move back home. I wanted to explore what is be so focused – everything we do is more intentional. I don’t home, and what is the west, and what is going on. It’s also very party like I used to; that makes things easier. I don’t have to worry about taking it too far in the party department…’ personal, it’s a very poignant and specific place for me, and I The album Sundown over Ghost Town echoed some of the was trying to capture all of those things in my new album.’ sentiment that Jewell felt stepping into motherhood. The It’s the stories that cling to Jewell, that find a place in her feeling that something was finished and that another life deeply haunting melancholy repertoire. was taking shape. ‘There’s definitely a feeling of haunting, and that’s why they call it a ghost town; it’s not empty because there are little glimpses ‘I felt like something was over. I was so happy to have her but I also had a sense of sadness – now I know what it is to of what used to be that you run into. It’s a very interesting truly love. There was a lot of that melancholy and even, at thing to be in a place like that. In the US it’s a very specifically western phenomenon. By giving that title I was trying to place the same time with that, great joy, and a feeling of profound loss. A part of it was mourning how things used to be but that album in a particular setting; I am not coming home to mostly a feeling of just that we are here temporarily and just anywhere – this is a specific place.’ So what does it mean to go home? For Jewell it was part of her everything is ephemeral and fleeting, and even my little girl won’t be permanent on the earth. I think a ghost town destiny – the place of her birth called her back almost as soon reflects what was, nothing really endures…’ as she’d left. ‘I just knew that some day the time would be right to return home and I was waiting for that. It took getting pretty well into my music career before my husband and I felt it made sense to make that move. We were on the road so much it

WHY WOULD PRINCE CHARLES WANT TO BOOK THE FERAMONES?

The Feramones was first conceived in the 1990s in London when 10CC guitarist Rick Fenn was asked to assemble a band of top-shelf London session musicians for the Children with Leukaemia charity ball at the Park Lane Hilton. The concept was, as it remains today, to perform tried and tested classics from the 70s and 80s that never fail to keep the dancefloor busy. The venture was so successful that over the next ten years the band was reassembled to play numerous show-biz parties and events around the UK including performances for members of the royal family and a host of celebrity private functions. In 2000 Rick and fellow UK guitarist and Feramones regular Alan Limbrick established their homes in Byron Bay. When another Feramones veteran, Alan Park (keyboardist and musical director for Sir Cliff Richard), joined the boys in Byron, the nucleus for a

more permanent lineup was established. They recruited the famed Bourbon Street vocalist Col Germano, legendary Australia bassist Greg Lyon and drummer Rick Lloyd and Byron’s Beach Hotel has been their ‘home’ gig for more than ten years, drawing a devoted crowd from all over the northern rivers. You can catch them at the Byron Services Club on Sunday at 4pm.

Israeli singer/songwriter and activist mixes modern pop with Spanish music. David Broza comes to Byron to share his unique experience of Jerusalem, his music, and his belief in a peaceful future. You have had a rich cultural heritage: born in Israel, raised and educated in England and Spain. How did your parentage and your upbringing influence your musical development? This is a very profound question as I never stop asking how it all affected me. The transition from Israel to Spain at 12 years of age was rough. It was my being so young that meant I adjusted. We were a very close family. I have one sister a year younger than me and we pretty much got along at all times. I think that the exposure to a new culture such as Spain was major. Until today, I feel as though Spain is my second home. How did it shape your view of the world? It gave me the tools with which I can pretty much feel at home anywhere away from home. A universal and international identity. Did you decide to become a musician, or was it something that evolved? Becoming a professional musician was a coincidence. I was a painter from the age of six. However, at 22, just after being released from three years’ military service; I needed a job. I was offered to be a sideman in a fine and popular show of Israel’s top poet Yehonatan Geffen. Within a couple of weeks he suggested I write music to a lyric of his. Yihye Tov was my first composition. I was very lucky and never looked back. Your grandfather co-founded the Arab-Israeli peace settlement. Can you tell me a little about him and his vision and how you continue his legacy? My grandfather Wellesley Aron was an English-born renegade. He was the founder of the Jewish youth movement, Habonim. He was Israel’s first president Haim Weitzman’s political secretary. He also founded and commanded the Jewish Brigade in the British Army and fought Rommel and broke the siege of Tobruk, thus saving the Australian Desert Rats. In his later years he was convinced that by educating youth in schools towards tolerance and coexistence, the future could be promising and perhaps peace would prevail. So he co-founded the Israeli Palestinian village of Neve Shalom – Wahat Al Salaam. He was my teacher and a great exemplary figure for me to follow and perhaps help in continuing his legacy. What does it mean to be a peace activist? What are the significant challenges of being a peace activist in the Middle East? I don’t know that I am a peace activist. I am always concerned primarily about the state of the social environment in Israel. It is a complex country with great ideology that is being challenged on a daily basis. There are so many migrants in Israel and every group has a unique way of understanding and interpreting. So I

try to help bring a better understand and vision to all who are part of this society. They may be Moroccan, Tunisian, French, English, Russian, Ethiopian etc. I also have much vested in improving the life conditions of the handicapped, so I work with the left and right of the political spectrum. I don’t boycott anyone, but challenge info and help find answers. You have been called a post-modern Leonard Cohen, compared to Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Brown. Tell me how you approach your music: What stories you want to tell, how you want the audience to feel… Is this what modern folk does best now – tells complex stories? I come from jazz and folk rock as well as rock’n’roll. I am primarily an entertainer. I want people to enjoy music and stories. My style of playing is eclectic and full of influences from rock’n’roll to Spanish and folk playing. It’s passionate. I want the audience to feel the love I have for the music I play and to be transported via my songs. How has the work of American writers influenced your work? Who are the writers that you find the most exciting? I have been influenced by Jimmi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young… It’s a long list, from the raunchy guitar to the sweet-sounding Spanish guitar. Tell me about the East West tour: Why have you included a film screening along with the concert and what does this add to the concert’s narrative? Does it help explain the beauty, the sadness, the hope and the hardship of a place like Jerusalem, somewhere that most of us here find so difficult to fathom? The film and the show are two very separate entities. The film exposes and evokes the feeling of the work I’ve been doing all these years even before I came to E. Jerusalem. I am happy to present both. However, my solo show is the main event. I think the film evokes some thoughts on the accessibility to the thoughts of some of the participants, whether Israeli or Palestinian. This is rare. In your experience living in the Middle East, what is it that has surprised and inspired you most about the human spirit? I believe in human spirit. Even with all the hardship we face. Is peace there really possible, do you think? What would need to happen? For a real change to come, we need a very strong-minded leadership. It is quite complex but possible. What should people expect for your show in Byron? The show in Byron will be fun. I shall play my Hebrew hits along with stories and songs from my Spanish albums as well as some of my English albums. It’s a fun show. Byron Theatre Sunday 20 November. East Jerusalem West Jerusalem film premiere at 5pm including a Q&A with David. Live concert at 7.30pm. For tickets go to byroncentre.com.au.

DANCING & CHANTING FOR PEACE

LAND OF DREAMS

Last year local theatre company NORPA took performance on to the railway platform at Lismore; this year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking us in to the hills to Eureka Hall for their new homegrown work Dreamland. The Echo caught up with Julian Louis, NORPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director and director/devisor of Dreamland. What was the impetus for creating Dreamland? The beautiful small halls in the hinterland and villages of the northern rivers have always struck me. Every time I go into one of these halls and stand on those old wooden floorboards I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but imagine all the people, the gatherings, the events these halls have seen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from debutante balls to raging parties. These halls house all those memories, the collective memory of a particular part of the community throughout time. Why Eureka Hall? The Arts Northern Rivers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If These Halls Could Talkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project match-made NORPA with Eureka Hall. But we have always wanted to do a work in the Byron hinterland. We often hear from coastal arts lovers that sometimes they find it hard to get to Lismore to see what NORPA is putting on, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to make a show that is accessible to a new audience in the Byron Shire. I live in the Byron Shire, very close to Eureka, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to my heart. In doing the research Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met a lot of neighbours. How have you developed the story? The story has been developed through research, conversations and interviews with local community members around Eureka â&#x20AC;&#x201C; delving into history, and also talking with friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people at soccer clubs, peoples at parties. I even recorded some people I met at a wedding last month ago at Eureka. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been like bowerbirds for stories. Then those stories, images, emotions and concepts act as inspiration points for developing the story of Dreamland. I work very closely with writer Janis Balodis, who wrote Railway Wonderland. He is a tremendously experienced writer. He has this unique ability to work collaboratively and that is quite a special skill for a writer, as writers tend to be more solitary with their craft. Dreamland is set in contemporary times but traverses eras in a magical way. Jason has come to hire the hall for an event and has to convince the hall committee members, who are all great characters. They have this kind of other-worldly quality. They grill him, because there have been a lot of complaints about events in the hall; the police have been called; there have been threats to shut down the hall. When they start the process of asking questions they transport Jason and the audience to these other

moments of history and events in the hall. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Is there going to be dancing?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re transported into a dance sequence; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Is there going to be music?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then the band playsâ&#x20AC;Ś How does music interact with the show? You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a show that looks at the dance floor as a metaphor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performed in a small hall that used to be the site of Friday night dances without having a band! And we have an awesome band. We have Shenzo Gregory, our musical director (of Fourplay String Quartet), percussionist/drummer Ben Walsh and double bass player Barry Hill. Shenzo is an incredible composer and multi-instrumentalist, Ben has worked with TaikOz and toured his own work internationally many times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he is an absolute force of percussion. Barry is a hugely talented local musician who can nail any groove. They form the band that will provide the live soundtrack throughout the whole show. Kirk Page, NORPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate director, is a tremendous singer as well as actor so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be singing songs, all relating to the theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. How are you staging this? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small hall so I imagine capacity is limited. Each show seats only 90 people. It will be an exciting, intimate experience for the audience. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really relishing putting the drama and the action up close and personal.

Chant for Peace is an event that was founded by Pralad & The Chants. They approached local yoga teachers and musicians to be involved with them to make this family-friendly event possible to offer to the community. They are not affiliated with any group or organisation, hence their motto, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no badge, no flagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Chant for Peace. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about individuals from all walks of life wanting to help bring peace to the world and the easiest way to do this is to chant sacred yoga mantras either alone or together with others as recommended in the yoga literature. These beautiful mantras instill within the hearts of those who hear and say them a deep sense of satisfaction, peace and happiness. This is real action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more loving and peaceful we are as individuals, the more peaceful those around us will become, gradually creating a more and more peaceful atmosphere for the whole planet. We held our first Chant for Peace in April this year, in Mullumbimby, and owing to its success and many requests from those who attended weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to do more. The most recent one was held in Brisbane at the Princess Theatre, which was a huge success. More are being planned across Australia over the coming months and New Year. The next one is at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Sunday, 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8pm. Amazing music and chanting with Pralad and The Chants, dance fusion with Gopali and The Tribe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; delicious food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a generally fantastic uplifting time.

Do you want to make food your medicine?

The whole site of Eureka Hall will be utilised. People will enter into a dreamland from the moment they get on the grounds of the hall. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be food, music and a bar, wonderful lighting. I think people all should come early to soak in the whole experience.

Would you love to see a more sustainable platform available throughout Australia as a go to for ALL your healthy, organic, GMOfree foods and products with labels you KNOW you can trust? If your morals stand with Abundance, Wellness and Community then come check out Holly Nunan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; successful entrepreneur and sought-after motivational speaker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; present InnerOrigin.

And then after the show weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll clear the seats and the band will play so if people want to dance, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be free to do so. Dreamland by NORPA is on at Eureka Hall from 23 November till 10 December (including Saturday matinee performances). Be quick as performances are selling out.

TAURUS: Trying to get information this week might be like pulling teeth, but don’t push – there’s no rush. Just be the patient Taurus you are and let things unfold. Which will give you the time to review plans and see a whole new way of doing things that hadn’t occurred to you before. GEMINI: If a job offer, pay upgrade or promotion presents itself this week, check the accompanying responsibilities and obligations carefully. Read the fine print. Find out what conditions apply. Assess whether the stress levels are too high, and answer that one honestly. Don’t bite off more than you can chew, like you often do.

Bunny Racket is born of King Bunny’s fierce love for rock music and a yearning for kid-friendly tunes that are relevant and positive. King Bunny travels the open highways in his old van, seeking collaboration, inspiration and knowledge, and on a quest to share his unique brand of rock’n’roll with the

younger generation of bunny racketeers and to create the greatest kids’ rock record of all time. Bunny Racket is also about to launch a rock’n’roll web series that’s set to inspire and teach kids how to create music and rock out with the whole family! Catch the Racket at Brunswick Picture House on Sunday at 2pm. One price $10 (ages 3 and up); Family of 4 $30.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarian William Blake wrote that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom, though admittedly that can be a hard and arduous route. When midweek moon in your sign offers too much of a good thing, it arrives with a side order of revelation about the inner workings of that fascinating character: yourself.

CAPRICORN: A my-way-or-the-highway leadership style isn’t likely to attract the kind of collaborative teamwork you’ll need this week. Which is a vibrant time for business interests, connections and offers on Planet Capricorn, just so long as you don’t clam up and make decisions without consultation and consensus.

LEO: November’s a primo month for taking care of home-base business. During which, don’t focus on the past or make radical moves that unsettle your security without thinking them through. Conditions are always subject to change; finding common ground and making mutual agreements brings a sense of optimism and accomplishment. VIRGO: With November’s astral emphasis in your house of communications, this week features meetings and discussions about whether what’s been conceived can be achieved. Expectations and demands are high, even by your standards, so resist non-productive forms of self-torture like overcommitting. Balance work chores with some exciting advance holiday planning. LIBRA: If your birthday month brought a little more turbulence and scale-wavering than you’d like, this month settles down to a welcome balance of harmonious socialising, creative enterprises and smoother decision making. Your planet ruler Venus in adventurous Sagittarius encourages bolder approaches than you’re used to. Why not? Nothing to lose…

SCORPIO: If this week’s potent trifecta of Sun, Mercury and new moon in Scorpio sees you planning radical makeovers of location, occupation and/or relationships, be advised that over-indulgence is contraindicated: in speech, behaviour or recreational substances. One-on-one discussions with trusted others, plus reflective private time is your best bet.

Host Barrie Cassidy will be live onstage with a distinguished panel comprising author and political commentator, David Marr; The Guardian’s political editor Katharine Murphy, and author and columnist Niki Savva. Cassidy will guide the panel through the big political developments of 2016, and screen the most entertaining Insiders videos of the political year. Monday 14 November, 6pm at Byron Theatre. Tickets $35/$30 members or students byronwritersfestival. com or 6685 5115

AQUARIUS: Your mentor planet Uranus retrograde can be unexpectedly mischievous. Though what seems to erupt suddenly has been brewing away behind the scenes for quite some time, in that place we know but don’t want to go. But this week’s fluctuations of fortune can easily work in your favour, given the right frame of mind.

PISCES: A lot of energy this week in your house of belief and opinions, making it time for the annual inspection of personal philosophies to see if they’re still valid, or need updating. Be discerning. Curious. Honest. Unusual visitors who challenge your certainties with provoking ideas will duly appear on cue to assist.

DAY OF THE DEAD Ten years ago, the Natural Death Care Centre saw the need in our community for a non-religious, culture-free ceremony to remember and honour those loved ones who have died. Over those 10 years, hundreds of people have come each year with their photos, mementos, even the ashes of their families and friends. The annual Day of the Dead ceremony is an opportunity for everyone to come together to honour and remember loved ones who have died, are dying, or who are lost to us in some way. An opportunity to celebrate and create positive

The Day of the Dead is a wonderful way to introduce children to death and bereavement in a gentle and positive way. As part of the NDCC, local celebrant and deathwalker Zenith Virago will facilitate the event starting with the creation of a community shrine of photos and personal mementos, as well as writing messages for loved family members or friends. Bring your blanket, or a chair; if it is a sunny day, bring a hat. As always, local community artist Sam Collyer will be on hand to inspire, guide and help with the organically themed and sustainable creativity. You are invited and encouraged to bring photographs or a special something for the shrine. Crystal Castle gates open with free entry at 3.30, art at 4–5pm, then 5–6pm Zenith will conduct an inclusive Ceremony of Love & Remembrance accompanied by the Biggest Little Town

BOOMERANG PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION OPENING AT PHOTO FOX DEN IN LISMORE ON WEDNESDAY Choir. At the close of the ceremony participants can choose to join a silent procession along the Rainforest Walk to the sacred grove, the Forest of Friends and Family, to leave their crafted mementos, which will slowly return to the earth.

auction where he’d hoped to buy a horse he could use to teach kids to ride. The only remaining animals were those heading for the slaughterhouse and Snowman, an 8-year-old former plough horse, was one of them. But Dutch immigrant and former resistance fighter deLeyer recognised a certain spirit in the big grey, bought him for $80, and set them both on an extraordinary journey. This multi-award-winning documentary is the first time that Harry & Snowman’s remarkable and heartfelt story has been told by Harry himself. The film includes incredible archived footage that transports viewers to the triumphant moments in the dynamic duo’s lives. Snowman retired from competition in 1962 to Harry’s farm in Long Island where he lived comfortably until his death in 1974. He was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1992. Harry & Snowman screens at Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Saturday at 7.30pm. Tickets available at Mullum Bookshop for $15/$13, group bookings (10 or more) $10.

HARRY & SNOWMAN In 1956, Harry deLeyer arrived late at a New York

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

‘I’ve bin runnin’ all my life.’ How many times have you heard those words in the tense moments before a western’s climactic shoot-out? Of all genres, however, the western thrives on familiar ‘signposts’, and this one is no different. The other given is that the good guy – although here we have a hero and a heroine – must prevail against superior odds. We are in New Mexico, 1871, and if the whistling wind across the dusty landscape is a tad overdone, all the better. Jane (Natalie Portman) and her little girl are doing the chores when Pa returns badly shot-up by the Bishop gang. There is history between them, and the story is from then on told between flashbacks to 1864 and 1867. Narratives unfolding in reverse order are, for mine, overdone these days (John Ford would never have bothered with such tomfoolery), but through the time jumps we learn that Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton), before disappearing during the Civil War, had been the love of Jane’s life. It’s he whom she calls upon to help protect her against Bishop and his mob of outlaws. As Bishop, the dandified, moustachioed murderer, Ewan McGregor is marvellous, speaking in fruity arch terms (again, the comforting cliché) – ‘he developed a fixation on the girl and absconded with her in the dead of night’. It was shot in a sepia hue, with earthy textures and minute attention to detail in costume design. I was totally absorbed by this movie from the minute Jane cocked her rifle on the wooden porch of her handmade cabin (as were all of the Japanese seniors who watched it with me in Kyoto last week). Shameful to admit it, but I haven’t enjoyed seeing a bloke get shot as much as I did when Jane blew out the brains of the creep who was about to rape her. And the brothel scene (nothing like Kitty’s spick and span saloon in Gunsmoke), with Red River Valley tinkling on the piano, is gold. I loved it.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK

It’s the ultimate in back-handed compliments to say of any actor that he was fantastic playing a character that you cannot stand a bar of. But such is the case with Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher (who, apparently, is 6’ 5” and blond in the books). Lee Child’s novels are highly regarded by readers of this school of vigilante heroism and it appears that he and the spin-off movie franchise (this is the third feature) have struck a chord with a particular type of blokes (my guess is that they’d be supporters of Donald Trump, too), but if high-camp machismo bores you to tears you’ll not bother with this. Reacher was once an officer in the US Military Police. Now he more or less just roams around America with his gun(s) and a chip on his shoulder that leads him to violently sorting out messes and ridding the world of bad dudes wherever he lays his hat (it’s not what you’d call an unfamiliar Hollywood scenario). But that is all there is to him – if Child gives him depth on the page it vanishes on screen. The Girl so desperately in need of Reacher’s help is Major Turner (Cobie Smulders), a close associate of Jack’s who it seems was involved in the murder of a couple of soldiers in Afghanistan. But she has been framed, as is Reacher himself when he is accused of being the killer of Turner’s lawyer. Out of left field, there is the revelation that Jack is the father of 15-year-old Samantha (Danika Yarosh) – a plot surprise that Cruise is less adept at dealing with than all of the running and jumping and shooting people that he is required to do. The movie is slower paced than you’d expect from a low-brow action piece and the series of climaxes are monotonously brutal. What is increasingly prevalent in this type of flick is an ‘ugliness’ in tone and world-view – and of course, the real villains are involved in government (it’s de rigueur to see officialdom as rotten at its core).

Ultimate Frisbee is undergoing a mini-resurgence in the area as new players flock to the regular Monday night get together with Byron Ultimate Disc (BUD). Ultimate is a non-contact team sport where points are scored by passing the flying disc between members, who can’t run while holding it, to get it to the opposition’s end to score. The local Frisbee team includes men and women who have been getting together for 14 years, but over the last months numbers and interest have increased, according to BUD regular Paul Glennie. ‘We have been getting anywhere from 20 to 30 people at our regular Monday night

game that we play at the Byron Recreation Grounds. ‘It is all about having a good time. We just want to grow the confidence of the new players,’ he said. The growth has come from world of mouth and taken the club by suprise as there have been no overt moves to grow participation. But the interest is more than welcome and could lead to the development of an informal local comp if steady numbers for four teams eventuate. Ultimate Frisbee provides plenty of opportunities to play outside the Shire and BUD gets involved in the Australian Beach Tournament and the Halibut competition run by Queensland

Ultimate. The Halibut comp had its 20th anniversary in August and BUD ran 16th out of the 20 teams competing.

BUD members Holly Fisher and Aleksie Villis picked up Most Valuable Player of the tournament awards.

Byron youth soccer in winning groove Dogwhistle

Back on home turf for round four of the 2016 summer youth competition, Byron’s young Wildcats and Rams turned on some outstanding performances to take out both matches with aplomb. The girls’ side are finding their form and are playing amazing team football. Growing in confidence, most of the girls can comfortably fill pretty much any position. Maddie Batson, a defender playing in midfield, bustled in the first goal for the Wildcats after some relentless pressure. Only a gutsy performance from the Goonellabah keeper kept the score at 1–0 into the half-time break. The second half brought much the same, with

Edwards took the score to 2–0 and the Byron team really clicked into place during the later stages. Goal of the season (thus far) goes to Olivia King after a sublime cross from Nambi Rembe on the left wing took the score to 3–0. The Wildcats’ growing joy and camaraderie is beginning to show in their results. Young Rams coach, Jono Pierce, celebrated this big 3–0 with another 3–0 win in the boys’ match. The absence of Aaron Walker and Mori Kone prompted a bit of a reshuffle and young midfielders Zac Sezer, Ronan Karup, Yarbirri Zillig Vandyke and Ethan Archer more than stepped up for the challenge. Striker Sam Shepherd was, again, relentless in the attack. His speed was too much for the Goonellabah boys and his determination drove the Rams pressing game. Twenty minutes into the first half, Shepherd cut a

swathe through the Goonellabah defence, fought his way from the flank into the box and crossed to Ronan Karup whose clean execution put the Rams on the board. Intensity built in the second half as Goonellabah battled to get back in the game. Byron’s rock-solid backline, marshalled by James Tomlinson and Alex Kempnich, held back the Hornets counterattacks while the Rams midfield controlled the centre of the park. Another loping run from Shepherd and an acute, sliding cutback found a composed Hari Scott in the box for a leisurely finish and goal number two. Late in the match, a huge cross from flanker Isaac Askew unleashed Shepherd in the centre of the pitch. He again outpaced the defence and skirted the keeper to put away the final goal. The teams take on coastal neighbours, Lennox Head this Friday night at the Rec Grounds in Byron Bay.

Gold, gold, gold for young Byron Bay boardriders Mullumbimby swimmers qualify for national finals Ross Kendall

Local swimmers have taken home the Mullumbimby Cup competing against more than 100 youngsters who converged on the Petria Thomas Pool for the North Coast Qualifying Carnival last Saturday. The young athletes aged from six to 17 years competed on behalf of 11 swimming clubs from across the region including big clubs Port Macquarie, Lismore and Tweed/Coolangatta. The Mullumbimby Club had a team of 22 swimmers who achieved the best overall result for a swim team by winning 41 gold, 30 silver and 18 bronze medals. ‘We were very strong in the 11-12-year age groups for girls,’ head coach for the Mullum Swimming Club Craig Davidson said. The meet was also an opportunity for the swimmers to qualify for the regional carnival in Coffs Harbour at

the end of November. ‘We are really pleased with the performance of the swimmers,’ Craig said. ‘At this stage of the season they performed strongly and are looking forward to the next level of competition in Coffs Harbour where we are looking to send a strong competitive team,’ Craig said. ‘It’s only really early days.

The team is in a rebuilding stage at the moment and we are really excited about the future. ‘We have some great talented younger swimmers who are new to the club and we have plenty of opportunities for new members to join the club,’ he said. The next race club night at the Mullumbimby Pool is Friday November 11.

Cyclocross rides into region A group of Byron Bay Cycle Club members had their first taste of a cyclocross event last month. The race is a combination of cycling and running and takes in rough terrain. When it is too tough to ride cyclists pick their bike up and run with it. Last month’s 88km race, called the Roubaix88, consisted of road, gravel, grassfields and canefield tracks through a range of private properties near Murwillumbah, and included 500m of climbing, BBCC’s Deb Fuller said. ‘The sport is a fun way to cross train and lets cyclists refine their bike handling skills,’ she said. ‘A cyclocross bike may look very similar to a road bike with dropdown handle bars and a light frame; however, it is designed like a mountain bike with high clearance, disc brakes and

slightly knobby tyres. ‘Competitors carry their bikes up steep terrain or over man-made obstacles during a race,’ she said. While cyclocross racing is growing rapidly in Australia the history of the sport dates back to Europe in the early

1900s. During the winter months in Europe cyclists could keep fit and continue competing in the snow and mud, and on icy roads. ‘It could be ideal in our shire when the rain causes havoc with our road conditions,’ she said.

Gort triumphs on Mullum court Local coach Stephen Gort took out the Mullumbimby Tennis Club singles championships played in late October. Gort lost just one game on his way to claiming the title against Mitchell Garbler 6–0 6–1.

He backed this up by winning the men’s open doubles with partner Ben Petersen beating Mitchell Garbler and Teva Leibo 6–3 6–2. In the special singles Peter Brett took three sets to undo Chris Coffee 6–2 2–6 7–5. In the men’s special dou-

The Byron Bay Boardriders came in second behind Coffs Harbour at the Australian Boardriders Battle Series held at Pippi Beach at Yamba over the weekend. Clubs in the northern NSW qualifying event included: Angourie, Coffs Harbour, Lennox/Ballina, Cabarita, Byron Bay, Sawtell and Half Tide (Evans Head).

The Coffs Harbour team (5,400 competition points) narrowly got the edge on Byron Bay (5,325 points) to win the day. The Australian Boardriders Battle Series involve more than 60 of Australia’s best boardriders clubs in eight state qualifying rounds and will culminate in a national final in NSW in February

2017 for 24 clubs. The top three clubs on the day, including Cabarita Boardriders (4,662 points), qualified for the February contest. Former Championship Tour surfer and Byron Bay local Danny Wills claimed the Milwaukee Heavy Duty Hack award for a critical layback snap.

Young wolves ready to fund overseas football tour The u/14 Kingscliff Wolves football team has embraced the challenge of a major fundraising project as they set their sights on touring California late in 2017. The boys want to play in the Orange County Tournament of Champions but will also have the opportunity to tour some college campuses that have well developed football programs. These will help the boys understand what opportunities there are for playing, refereeing and coaching overseas, according to Barry Saunders, Kingscliff Wolves coaching technical adviser. There are several ways the team intends to raise the money, some tried and tested and some new. There will be sponsorship opportunities for businesses, applications for grants, family contributions, and of course raffles and sausage sizzles.

ryone excited about the trip. ‘I hope we learn stuff we can use later in life,’ he said. The tour will help the boys to broaden their horizons within the world of football and also for future career and life opportunities. ‘Through this type of life experience the boys will bring back a totally different perspective of how the game is played and run,’ Barry said. ‘This trip will also show the boys that there are so many different pathways available

to them through the power of football, other than becoming a professional player. ‘The boys playing for the Wolves Football Club have a deep love and understanding, not just of the game of football but of the benefits it can bring to their lives. ‘Most of the boys have been playing together for the club since they were five years old and have developed strong friendships among all the players in their age group,’ he said.

Since there has been a lot of heat around shark attacks lately, we threw out a net and trawled for some stats. The Global Shark Attack File (sharkattackfile.net) records 295 unprovoked shark attacks – 122 in NSW – since 1990, with 42 fatalities nationally. According to the Taronga Shark Attack File (http://bit. ly/tzshark) the average annual death rate in Australia from sharks over the past century is about 1.3 people. (Byron Bay has had 13 incidents and two fatalities over the past 26 years.) The file also notes that the Australian human population has risen from 3.7 million in 1900 to 23.5 million in 2014, so there are a lot more bodies to chomp down on – and we guess the popularity of surfing has risen tremendously since the 1960s. However, you are more likely to be killed by a horse, cow or dog, according to the National Coronial Information System: http://bit.ly/andeath. Q Q Q Q

Perhaps a more pressing concern for Byron Shire residents is the lack of affordable accommodation, attributable in part to an insane housing market and a cyclone of illegal holiday letting in residential zones. As we’ve reported, the website Inside Airbnb (http://bit.ly/insideByron) shows Byron Shire has almost six times more properties listed than any other northern rivers council. In total 1,483 properties are listed in the Shire, with the majority clustered around Byron Bay and Bangalow. There’s a rally on housing needs on Saturday November 12 outside Council chambers in Mullum at 10am and a forum at the Mullumbimby Ex-Ser-

Backlash has gone a bit stats mad this week. While investigating why the federal government wants welfare payments ‘reined in’ (because it’s champagne and caviar all round on a single person’s parenting payment of about $370 a week), we went looking at what people earn, now and historically. Compared with a welfare recipient’s $370, the ‘average’ wage-earner takes home $1,516 a week, according to the ABS – not so much on the north coast – while a federal MP rakes in about $3,846 a week plus perks. In Victoria in 1910 a female factory worker earned around $160 a week in modern dollars, less than half a male’s wage of that time.
