Regulated rural weddings and events edge closer Hans Lovejoy

Weddings, events and function centres in the Shire’s rural areas could be soon regulated after councillors voted last Thursday to send their planning proposal to the state government for Gateway determination. If approved, the Byron Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2014 would be amended to ‘permit function centres in the RU2 Rural Landscape Zone with development consent and subject to appropriate controls relating to site suitability and management.’ Greens Cr Michael Lyon broke a deadlock between those in favour and against, after adopting mayor Simon Richardson’s motion to proceed. Cr Basil Cameron opposed proceeding because ‘wedding function use and other uses [are] inconsistent with the zoning objectives for the RU2 zone as the proposed uses are not “associated with primary production and environmental conservation”. And owing to the public feedback that was largely against the planning proposal, Cr Cameron sought to ‘Engage with community and the wedding industry to develop a “well managed and sustainable industry for all” that particularly examines existing facilities in zones with objectives that can accommodate weddings and other functions.’ Cr Lyon’s foreshadowed motion passed (Crs Coorey and Cameron voted against) and ensures ‘that all amplified music will cease no later than 8pm; and that all event attendees will be off site no later than 8.30pm.’

Originally, the mayor’s motion called for a 10pm curfew. Under the proposal, function centres in the RU1 Primary Produce Zone will not be allowed. Additionally, Council staff have been asked to ‘Investigate the possibility of implementing a registration system for approved rural function centres.’ During morning public access, Jane Magnus from the Byron Events Association supported the proposal, saying that management plans are needed. But Matthew O’Reilly, aka Cleva, representing The Community Alliance for Byron Shire (CABS), spoke against. He said, ‘It’s disingenuous to say there is public support.’ ‘This is only supported by those who want it. How will increasing events lower pressure on infrastructure? ‘This will add zero dollars [to Council’s finances]. You all know people are fed up with overdevelopment… [councillors] should defer this to get more prescriptive. In Tweed Shire, councillors made an amendment for water extraction. The community were against it, and then heaps of applications were lodged.’ During councillor debate, Greens Cr Sarah Ndiaye asked staff if there are fewer compliance problems in recent times. Director planning Shannon Burt replied yes, yet added that it could be owing to weddings being seasonal. Cr Ndiaye also questioned where will wedding patrons go after 8pm. ‘Will they go to other venues? Isn’t this moving the problem?’

Disability service provider collapses Chris Dobney

QLD-based disability service provider FSG Australia, which has hundreds of clients on the northern rivers, told staff on Friday that the company is going into voluntary administration on June 30. Meanwhile the Services Union say they have filed a dispute with the Fair Work Commission in relation to FSG and its lack of consultation with its workforce.

Revenue loss As Echonetdaily reported in March, the company flagged problems its annual report, saying that it recorded a $5.2 million loss of revenue last financial year, representing

7.6 per cent of gross income. FSG describes itself as a ‘forpurpose community organisation offering a wide range of innovative services in the fields of disability, mental health, aged care, family and children’s services’. Its diversified portfolio includes a cafe, retail and co-working spaces, FSG Travel, a nursery, packaging and selling environmentally friendly cleaning products, and the Rock Indoor Climbing Gym. A spokesperson for the company told The Echo that while administrators will not be appointed until June 30, arrangements were already in train with ‘a very large provider’ with a view to that organisation taking over ‘some of FSG’s clients’.

The Echo understands this arrangement will include the company’s clients on the northern rivers. FSG CEO Vicki Batten said in a statement, ‘FSG – like many organisations in our sector – has had to make large investment decisions to prepare for the NDIS, and despite our best efforts it has become clear that we cannot continue to deliver our high quality of support to our customers.’ ‘With this announcement, our priority now is to ensure our customers can transition to a new service provider with minimal disruption.

Historical logging protest project update Trevor Reece

National Parks NSW has now assessed and approved the Nightcap Monuments Project and acknowledged the significance of the project to regional history and local communities.

A monument site has been identified within the Terania Creek area of the Nightcap National Park. The project timing also hopes to help to historically recognise the fortieth anniversary of the Terania Creek environmental actions of 1979. The rainforest logging protests at Terania, and later at Mt Nardi, brought about the creation of the now World Heritage listed Nightcap National Park. The Monuments Project has involved collaboration with the Brunswick Valley Historical Society Inc (BVHS), which is also sponsoring a new film on activism

across the region. The historical society is collecting and archiving historical materials coming through the project. Recently both a television reporter from the time and a police officer have unearthed some great historical material for the project. Look out for the Rainforest Warriors Historical Project Facebook page coming online. A project master website is now under construction with associated social media platforms. The Monuments Development Program and artists’ brief with other project activities will be released soon

on the Nightcap Monuments Project website. The project is about to commence a dedicated fundraising program and will be seeking support from regional business, community groups and members, and philanthropic donations. Financial donations will be tax deductible and will be managed by the BVHS and Mullumbimby Museum. Project help is also sought with many tasks ahead. You can contact the BVHS by phoning 6684 4367 or emailing project co-ordinator Trevor Reece at treece545@ gmail.com.

Climate pollution ignored in NSW budget, say NCC Your local independent brewery The way it should be

2 June 27, 2018 The Byron Shire Echo

A peak environmental group has accused the state government of failing to fund the reduction of climate pollution in its recent budget. Nature Conser vation Council CEO Kate Smolski said, ‘The NSW budget contains no money for reducing climate pollution but $102 million for dealing with the disasters that climate change is causing, like floods and storms. ‘This is not the response of financially prudent risk managers – it is the response of a government of climate change denialists and defeatists. ‘This government is sitting on a clean-energy war chest of almost $1.4 billion in the Climate Change Fund.

‘Rather than pouring money into renewables, pumped hydro and other forms of storage, it has been dribbling out funds and diverting them for other purposes, including syphoning off $240 million to pay for its land-clearing package.’ Smolski claims that the $240 million earmarked ‘for the land-clearing package’ will come from the Climate Change Fund.

Verify claims

The Echo asked local Nationals MLC Ben Franklin to confirm the Nature Conservation Council claims. He instead replied, ‘This government is committed to ensuring a secure, reliable,

affordable and clean energy future for NSW, while also making communities more resilient in climate change.’ ‘The share of renewables in NSW has doubled in the past six years, with renewable sources contributing to almost 20 per cent of the state’s energy supply. This government is committed to supporting the renewable energy sector. ‘The NSW 2018/19 budget outlines funding for the 2018/19 financial year. The budget does not outline each individual NSW government program. ‘I look forward to further NSW government funding programs and initiatives to address climate change being announced in coming months.’

Hemp Collective’s winter harvest After researching and developing their business model for a year and a half, Hemp Collective is now reaping the benefits of low-THC organic hemp with their first crop being harvested in Byron Shire. While it looks like cannabis, the low-THC strain has no pyschoactive properties and is known for its superior fibre and health benefits. According to Hemp Collective’s Maxine and Mike Shea, it hasn’t been an easy road to the point of harvest, with many obstacles to overcome, owing in part to the newness of the Australian industry. Maxine says, ‘But we are happy to have taken that amount of time to get it right!’ ‘We are striving to support regional and sustainable production, making safe and high-quality goods, and reinvigorate our society to return to a time when craftsmanship and quality are valued above over-consumption and standardisation. ‘Most importantly, we want to be able to build a sense of empowerment, transparency, community, as

Local News Library funds slashed, say Public Libraries Assoc Claims that library services across the state will be axed by 18 per cent have been refuted by local Nationals MLC Ben Franklin, yet with new funding arrangements, the outcome for libraries appears still unclear. According to the peak body representing libraries across NSW, $5.275m in funding for local libraries has been slashed in the recently announced 2018–19 budget. NSW councils manage library services on behalf of the state government, and NSW Public Libraries Association (NSW PLA) president Dallas Tout says they represent a network of 368 public libraries across NSW. Tout says, ‘The annual grants program (previously known as Library Development Grants and over the past four years, Public Library Infrastructure Grants) administered by the State Library of NSW, has been completely wiped out, accounting for $4m of the funding reduction.’ Yet local Nationals MLC Ben Franklin says the $5.275m figure claimed by NSW PLA is incorrect. He told The Echo, 'The Public Library Infra-

structure Grants program provided $15 million in funding over four years for infrastructure projects at local libraries, with most funding going to regional libraries.’ ‘The Regional Cultural Fund will now fund public library infrastructure,’ he said. ‘Applications for round two of the fund open in mid2018, with $5 million committed to fund public library infrastructure. ‘The NSW Liberal and Nationals government remains committed to supporting local libraries, particularly in regional areas.’ In reply, Dallas Tout said that under the proposed budget, the said infrastructure grants will only be open to regional applicants. ‘We are still waiting for clarification that this is a correct assumption. Other public organisations, for example museums, appear to have to now bid out of the same fund. 'There’s no confirmation that the $5m is new funding. 'The government have also reduced the recurrent funding to libraries by $1.3m in the 2018/19 budget.’

Menacing dog owner faces warrant A magistrate at the Byron Bay Local Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of the owner of a menacing dog after she failed to appear in court last week. It followed an incident in Byron Bay in January 2018 when the defendant’s dog, an American Staffordshire terrier, badly injured a toy poodle and bit the poodle’s

owner and another person at a property in Jonson Street. It was later revealed the Staffordshire terrier was a declared menacing dog after biting a six-year-old boy in Sydney in 2016. Staff from Byron Shire Council’s Animal and Enforcement team investigated the incident and found the dog was not muzzled or under effective con-

trol at the time of the attack as was required under the Companion Animals Act 1998. The defendant was convicted and a warrant issued for her arrest. The court also ordered that she pay $7,600 in costs. At last Thursday’s meeting, councillors supported the preparation of a Byron Shire Dogs in Public Spaces Strategy.

Two charged with assaulting police, allegedly Two men have been arrested after two police officers were allegedly assaulted in Byron Bay early on Friday morning. About 2am on Friday June 22, police say they were called to a nightclub on Jonson Street

Planning panel put on notice

The JRPP requested that no photos be published of Tuesday's meeting. Chris Dobney

If any member of the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) was in doubt that Byron residents are in total opposition to the plans of two groups of developers to carve up the West Byron wetlands into 667 housing lots, they would have been thoroughly disabused after four hours of passionate and informed speeches by opponents at Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Tuesday evening (June 19). Out of the 30-odd speakers there was not a single speech in favour of the proposal. The meeting had been a long time in coming and was the first opportunity for residents to have their say in four years, following the much maligned 2014 community consultation that was described at the meeting as a ‘farce’. The five-member panel who will ultimately decide the fate of the proposals consists of: chair Garry West, a former National Party government minister; former bureaucrats Stephen Gow and John Griffin; and neighbouring councillors Katie Milne (Tweed Greens mayor)

and the absent Vanessa Ekins (Lismore Greens councillor). Speaker after speaker raised the familiar issues: the bulk and scale of the developments; the huge amount of fill required to floodproof the site; the massive increase of traffic on Ewingsdale Road; a massive sound barrier running along the roadside the length of the development; the increased stress on services from schools to sewage; and the detrimental impact on koalas and other wildlife.

Water 1.5m below But it was the words of Byron-based developer Eric Freeman that cut through with the chairman, who was seen to raise his eyebrows as Mr Freeman recounted his experience developing the adjacent Byron Industry Park in the 1990s. ‘We found groundwater at just 1.5 metres below the surface,’ he said, adding it was partly caused by ‘water being discharged through the sands from the [then] gravity-fed sewage treatment plant (STP)’. Mr Freeman said he subsequently worked with Council to build a vacuum STP to fix the problem but

that ‘hundreds of houses’ had been connected since then and he believed it was once again failing. ‘We created road pavements to one metre depth,’ he said, adding they were now ‘rippling like waves on north Centennial Circuit’. Dramatic evidence also came from Tom Vidal of the Belongil Catchment Drainage Board, which is responsible for two major drains for West Byron, the industrial estate and the surrounding areas. ‘We are already finding it difficult to manage the system,’ he told the panel. ‘It’s more complex than any other system in NSW and possibly Australia.’ But then he dropped a bombshell: the drainage board must approve of any development in writing. According to the developers’ plans, its main drain would be the recipient of all the stormwater from the two estates. ‘We’ve never been contacted and they never responded to requests to get in touch,’ he said.

State government probity lacking over major Byron development The state government’s handling of the proposed West Byron suburb continues to be put under the spotlight, with local environmental activist Dailan Pugh claiming agencies inexplicably dropped their recommendations and that no independent reports were requested for the project. When asked why the government didn’t undertake independent reports to verify the accuracy of the developers’ reports, a Department of Planning & Environment spokesperson instead told The Echo the department ‘sought independent assessments from both RMS and the Office of Environment & Heritage (OEH) to assess the West Byron Urban Release proposal.’ They said, ‘RMS concluded the applicant’s traffic study was appropriate, with mechanisms in place to support future road infrastructure. Recommendations from the OEH review were also implemented such as changing the proposed zoning of land adjacent to Belongil Creek and establishing an environmental conservation zone within 50 metres of the wetlands.’ But Dailan Pugh, who has been a driving force behind highlighting the major flaws of the project, says he was shocked ‘that the RMS was silent on the inadequacies of the [West Byron] traffic study.’

Guidelines ignored ‘The study was required (2009 study requirements) to apply the RTA traffic generating guidelines, but didn’t. ‘Clearly, the original claim

that that these developments would only result in 6,000 traffic movements on Ewingsdale Road was contrary to the RTA guidelines and was rubbish. There were also a number of traffic studies previously prepared for Byron Shire Council that clearly identified that there should be no development of West Byron until the traffic congestion on Ewingsdale Road and in town had been resolved. ‘A 2011 submission on West Byron included a report by CRG Traffic and Transport Engineering Consultants that applied the RTA methodology to identify that West Byron would generate 14,160 vehicles per day on Ewingsdale Road rather than the developers’ estimate of 6,000 vehicles per day. ‘The RTA Guidelines require that substantial departures from the guidelines must be justified. They weren’t. ‘Given that the developers have now applied the RTA guidelines and identify that it will result in 14,000 cars per day (which is still an understatement given the scale of development now proposed), the question is why did neither the RMS nor DoPE identify the original shoddy traffic assessment as the farce it was, or consider the already chronic traffic congestion on Ewingsdale Road? ‘The same problem is apparent with the OEH submissions. Back in October 2012, the OEH did a detailed submission raising a variety of concerns, including that for koalas the size of the urban

footprint should be reduced by incorporating the southern and eastern areas of the site into environmental zones (for habitat restoration), that for the Wallum sedge frog further details and reporting with regard to mitigation, habitat restoration, and offsets was required, and that OEH does not support the use of roads or stormwater treatment measures in environmental zones. ‘The OEH recommendations included that detailed controls should be included in the DCP to ensure that permissible adverse land uses within the E2 and E3 zones are managed to achieve the objectives of each zone. ‘[Additionally], OEH said that a Habitat Management Plan/Threatened Species management plan for acid frog species should be prepared and implemented, [along with] a revised zoning plan to address the impacts on koalas. ‘Despite many of OEH’s recommendations not having been complied with, in February 2014 OEH did an about face and signed off on the development without even mentioning Wallum sedge frogs or koalas. ‘At that time, they rightly assumed that roads and drains were not allowed in environmental zones, though DoPE has since allowed them. ‘For what would seem to be political reasons, our government agencies clearly let this community down by not subjecting these developments to professional reviews in accordance with their responsibilities.’

Their work during the Bentley blockade is particularly recognised. Nanna Judi Summers said the award was timely, coming as the government introduces new regulations

restricting protest activity on Crown land. ‘Much of our work to stop Metgasco turning the northern rivers into a gasfield would not have been possible under these draconian regulations,’ she said. The award will be presented by former human rights commissioner Gillian Triggs, at the Ngara Institute’s annual lecture in Mullumbimby this Saturday night (June 30). Tickets for the evening have already sold out. The Institue’s inaugural award last year was presented to Adrian Burragabba and Murrawah Johnson for their

Wilsons Creek Telstra tower rejected by locals Aslan Shand

BYRON BAY WEDDING DJ

North Coast news daily:

Residents of Wilsons Creek and surrounding areas are stepping up their campaign against the proposed Telstra microwave tower that currently has a development application (DA) before Byron Shire Council. The next community meeting is Wednesday June 27 from 6pm at Wilsons Creek Hall. They are calling the campaign Not in My Backyard ‘because your backyard will undoubtedly be next one day soon, if we don’t get the legislation changed,’ said resident Jamie Blacklaw. Locals are questioning why a communications facility that relies on ‘line of sight’ to operate is being placed in the bottom of a heavily vegetated valley. The DA states quite clearly, ‘Antennas cannot be placed below a topographical line… otherwise they will not be effective in providing the ser-

vice to the user yet this is what is being proposed. The top of the tower will be at an elevation 150m below Huonbrook and 100m below Upper Wilsons Creek,’ said Ms Blacklaw. ‘Is Telstra installing this only because it is being paid to do so under the Black Spot Program?’ Questions regarding the impact of radiation from the tower have also been raised with eight homes close to the tower site likely to have direct exposure and the top of the array pointed directly at one of the homes. ‘The Australian Safety Standards for radiation exposure are in some cases more than 1,000 times higher than other countries and have not been adjusted since the mid1990s when there were virtually no mobile phones or towers,’ explained Ms Blacklaw. ‘We are challenging the federal government and will, if pushed, instigate a class action because once you read a few of the more than 20,000

unacknowledged scientific, medical and engineering reports you cannot help but notice that virtually every common health problem you hear spoken of every day can be linked back to radiation exposure.’ Locals say they have had a scientist working in the industry confirm that the levels of microwave exposure provided by Telstra are incorrect. The Mt Nardi 2000–2015 Species Exodus report that has been submitted to UNESCO by local naturalist and ethnobotanist Mark Broomhall claims that with the ‘advent of digital wireless technology in the years 2002 to 2004, that I began to notice a decline in insect diversity and population’ in the Mt Nardi World Heritage Area. He goes on to state that with the addition of enhanced 3G technology in 2009 and 4G in 2013 there have been further decreases in bird and insect species in the area. ‘Apart from the intense

radiation of several close-by residences, we believe its usefulness as a public service is doubtful and at best harmful,’ said one resident. Though Telstra has indicated that the facility will only be 3G there are concerns that they could add 4G or 5G without consent. ‘The tower area has a history of instability with cars having been bogged in the sealed road in front of the exchange as a result of water seeping from the site. ‘Has Telstra not done any geotechnical evaluation of the site?’ questioned another resident of the area, who believes that the DA appears to be deficient in this information. ‘Site instability for a 36.5m concrete tower would undoubtedly raise liability issues’. Residents are asking why, with so many areas now saturated with microwaves, locals shouldn’t be able to have a say in whether or not they want these electromagnetic waves in their local environments.

Govt to regulate gatherings on public lands

ONLY THE PRINTED WORD CAN DEFEND ECHO NEWSPAPER – VIGILANCE SINCE 1986 8 June 27, 2018 The Byron Shire Echo

New powers to disperse or ban protests, rallies, and virtually any public gathering on government-owned and -managed land will come into effect from July 1, say civil liberties lobbyists. NSW Council for Civil Liberties president Stephen Blanks says that NSW state government’s Crown Land Management Regulation 2018 (NSW) includes a provision that will give public officials broad powers to ‘direct a person’ to stop ‘taking part in any gathering, meeting or assembly’. Crown land comprises around half of all land across the state and includes town

squares, parks, roads, beaches, community halls and more. Blanks says the penalty for ‘defying such a ban or order to stop meeting in public could be up to $11,000.’

Funeral exception Blanks says the only exception provided for is ‘in the case of a cemetery, for the purpose of a religious or other ceremony of burial or commemoration. Alternatively, public officials have broad discretion to affix a conspicuous sign prohibiting any gathering, meeting or assembly – again, unless the public gathering was a funeral.’ ‘If these regulations are al-

lowed to stand, the effect will not just be that protests, rallies and demonstrations can only occur at the sufferance of police and other officials. It will be that virtually all public events will only occur with the tolerance of public officials. Our right to assemble on public land will become something less than a licence. That right may temporarily be granted by public officials, but it may just as easily be withdrawn, at any time, for any reason.’ A NSW Greens motion before Parliament on June 20 to disallow giving police the power to prohibit any protest or demonstration on public land was shut down,

according to MLC David Shoebridge. Shoebridge said, ‘This government has consistently attacked the right to protest and now they won’t even let Parliament debate the issue, NSW is moving closer and closer to a police state.’ ‘These are the same powers police used to eject Sniff Off and other protesters at the recent Above and Beyond music festival. ‘Whether it is the Knitting Nannas, the Wollar Three or young people at a festival, the Greens will always stand against this government’s attempt to criminalise protest,’ Shoebridge said.

Mark appointed to top Council job Longtime senior staff memember and acting Council general manager Mark Arnold has been announced as the new general manager (GM). GMs are responsible for the Council’s operation and staff, who enact policy that councillors vote upon. Mr Arnold has worked for Byron Shire Council for ten years as the director of Corporate and Community Services and will offically replace Ken Gainger, who retired in January. Mayor Simon Richardson said, ‘I am pleased to announce that Mark was the successful candidate in a very strong field and I am really confident that he will be a great leader of the council over the next five years.’ ‘Byron Shire is well known for having a passionate and engaged community that is demanding of its council and Mark has a strong rapport with many community groups already and he is also highly respected by the staff,’ he said. Mr Arnold, who this year notched up 37 years in local government, said one of his top priorities when he takes

Aspiration the latest political casualty

Volume 33 #03

June 27, 2018

What we learned Thursday Last week’s Council meeting, held in the Mullumbimby chamber, was again a reminder that politics can be a fairly binary pursuit where there are always winners and losers. Take for example the issue of lobbing a planning proposal for rural events and weddings at the state government for approval. Given there was community concern from rural residents that weddings and events may start to proliferate and impact on their amenity, a cautious approach would be sensible. But being cautious also means delays and inhibits a record of achievement and ‘outcomes for our community’. The last council majority were not that fond of being cautious or listening much to the community and were summarily booted from office. So despite mayor Simon Richardson warning fellow Greens councillor Michael Lyon against making up policy on the chamber floor, an amendment of a plan to proceed was passed after Cr Lyon convinced the majority that an 8.30pm curfew was more appropriate than 10pm. Moving on – let’s give three cheers to planning! It’s the most important responsibility Council has apart from rubbish removal and patching potholes. After all, where else can ecological values be diminished and personal wealth created in its place? Currently, Council staff are preparing to exhibit its draft Employment Lands Strategy, which is a mechanism for liberating lands locked up by pesky zonings. Its aim is to ‘create opportunities for industrial retail and commercial activities over a 20 year horizon.’ Another 'forward planning instrument' on its way is the draft Byron Residential Strategy. This, along with The Rural Land Use Strategy, will sit under the LEP and DCP. In turn, these instruments all sit under NSW legislation. Moving on – despite efforts by John Anderson (Fast Buck$) in morning public access to shame councillors on the absurd new state government policy called biobanking, they voted without debate to proceed with the policy as part of Council's Byron bypass project. Cr Cate Coorey made some noises of protest but otherwise – say goodbye to sensitive wetlands along the rail corridor at the south end of Butler Street. Biobanking is a ‘market-based scheme’ where a patch of native and/or high value biodiversity flora and fauna can be destroyed in the name of development. The decimated area becomes a ‘credit offset’ or whatever, and then can be sold ‘to those seeking to invest in conservation outcomes’ (www. environment.nsw.gov.au/biobanking/index.htm). Anderson told the councillors it was a ‘straightforward con’. He said, ‘There’s nothing in the staff report about what will be destroyed. Staff don’t want you to think about that.‘ ‘No-one who considers themselves Green could support this.’ Yet they did. Finally – congrats to Mark Arnold for being appointed new head honcho general manager for Council. As a long-term senior staffer, Mark has always demonstrated an agile ability to appear affable and knowledgable. Perhaps Mark‘s best asset as manager is that he doesn’t seem to adopt the predictable alpha Silverback Gorilla persona that often accompanies such high profile roles. The Echo looks forward to Mark explaining how Council’s transparency, efficiency and finances will improve, along with how he will address the many legacy issues that his predecessors left behind.

‘The job of a newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.’ – Finley Peter Dunne 1867–1936

ohn Howard announced that he was running on incentivation – a word that even his colleagues could not comprehend; they thought they were hearing things. Malcolm Turnbull has turned to aspiration, which is at least literate, but seems to be equally hard to interpret. My concise Macquarie offers the primary meaning ‘lofty or ambitious desire,’ or alternatively, ‘a breath.’ This, apparently, is to be the driving force, the new one-word slogan that will drive reluctant voters to the polls, weeping with gratitude for the largesse he will shower upon them – if, of course, they survive to trouser it come 2022 or perhaps 2024. Some obviously won’t: the 60-year-old aged-care worker from Burnie, whom Turnbull adjured to look forward to advancement and promotion, is unlikely to get either and will therefore miss out on the bonanza. At a time when jobs are scarce and wage rises all but non-existent, lofty and ambitious desire may be admirable, but hardly practical, even in the circumstances of a by-election or five. But such was the frenzy of the screaming match over tax in parliament that practicality, or even rationality, had nothing to do with the case. Instead, having coined his one-word slogan for the week, our prime minister then turned reality on its head: Labor, he thundered, was the party of the wealthy elitists holding back the workers. There was Bill Shorten quaffing French champagne with billionaires like his own old mate Richard Pratt while he, interned in his Point Piper harbourside mansion, was tirelessly working to make everyone, old and young, rich and poor, more aspirational.

That was his story, and last week it came to pass – sort of. The income tax cuts passed by the parliament (well, by Pauline Hanson’s latest tergiversation) are certainly kind of aspirational. They may not be lofty, or in most cases even ambitious, but there is apparently a desire for more money, which is entirely understandable in these straitened times. Whether this desire will supersede the desire for better services like health and education, and perhaps even the more quixotic desire to balance the national budget is less certain, but at least it has finally been

ing – economic conditions prevailing for the best part of a decade, and he is starting at a time when commodity prices have already peaked, China is going through conniptions and Donald Trump is apparently intent on waging an international trade war. Now that is real aspiration. However, hope can be a powerful drug, and Shorten’s determination to kybosh it is what Sir Humphrey Appleby would call a very courageous policy. Stages two and three of the tax cuts may well be pie in the sky, but even the distant sniff of the pie can be alluring and it is a longstanding political reality

…the great [tax] plan does not really kick in for six years by Mungo MacCallum rammed through a reluctant senate and can thus be claimed as a genuine government win, the foundation for a long and acrimonious election campaign. But it is also aspirational in another sense – the great plan does not really kick in for six years and does not reach its glorious climax until 2028, three elections hence. So, if this aspiration is also a breath, you would be unwise to hold yours. The harsh reality is that next year, assuming the coalition hangs on to the next election, the great plan will provide a hamburger in the local club once a week, unless the price of minced beef rises. Apart from that there is only hope, leavened by the experience of the memory of John Howard’s fistful of dollars and Paul Keating’s L-A-W, both snatched back immediately after the elections were done and dusted. Turnbull is banking on the idea of benign – indeed improv-

that taking anything away from voters, even far-flung promises, is always a big risk. When John Howard flipped on his never-ever pledge not to pursue the GST and brought it to the 2001 election, opposition leader Kim Beazley proposed to roll it back if he gained office. But he didn’t, and although the punters hated the idea – they had knocked it back in 1993 and when Howard resurrected it in 1998, he lost the popular vote and had to survive on marginal seats – they decided it was not worth fighting about. The current situation is of course different; Turnbull did not take his tax cuts policy to an election so he can hardly claim a mandate, but while many people have reservations about his plan, there is no real public outrage. On the other hand there is no immediate benefit offered to an electorate reared on instant gratification. Shorten may be able to per-

suade an electorate already punch drunk on hyperbole that his more generous short-term approach is preferable, but it will be a hard slog, particularly when the level of abuse and invective from the government and the Murdoch media really ramp up. A sign of the times is that The Australian and Newspoll are really into push polling. The latest atrocity was the one on asylum seekers: one option was for Labor to ‘open the floodgates’. How very objective. And before we get serious about the main race, there is the immediate pothole of the coming by-elections. If the current polling is right (a somewhat dubious proposition, as we have just seen) Labor could easily lose two seats, Longman and Braddon. It would be almost unprecedented for an opposition to lose a seat in a by-election and although the situation is itself unprecedented, there will be little excuse for Shorten if he drops one electorate, let alone two. His unpopularity has become a serious concern, and although there is no move to challenge him yet, Anthony Albanese is showing a little more profile than his leader might like – although Pauline Hanson’s accolade, that Shorten would be the worst bloody prime minister we had ever had, might help. Perhaps surprisingly, the leftish Albanese is seen as more business friendly, less confrontational and generally more amiable than Shorten. The coalition and the Murdoch press would of course persecute him relentlessly given half a chance, but he might be a more elusive target than the more aggressive Shorten with his union links and ditching of previous leaders. But at this stage this remains mere speculation, fantasy. Indeed, barely aspirational.

Free shop: gone

A lot of people knew and loved the free shop in the Brunz Housie shed. It was shut down because of complaints to Reflections North Coast Holiday Parks. Two days after the staff packed up and took away the free shop, I started it up again. People loved it and some really needed the warm blankets and warm clothes they received. Unfortunately since I restarted the community collective there has been relentless sabotage – clothes cut up, ripped up, burned, dirt thrown over everything, smashed up odds and ends, all the signs destroyed. I’m responsible for community safety. Unfortunately, I’ve found a dangerous piece of aluminium fencing put in among the baby clothes, it was curled up with three sharp points standing up. What kind of person goes that far? I have now shut down the community collective because of risk to the community. My daughter came to help me pack up, and we found another piece of aluminium that had been put

there since I tidied up the afternoon before. Thank you to all who supported this community collective. Since Denis has gone from the Housie shed, so have his hygienic practices. The Housie shed is now looking like it used to, a grotty mess. As Reflections North Coast Holiday Parks are responsible for cleaning of the Housie shed I rang Jennifer Scott to ask if they would do something about the state of it. There is a lot of blood on the floor at the toilet end of the shed – a serious biohazard. Six times I got the answering machine but I’ve had no answer to my calls. They are happy to reap the revenue from our park and give very little in return. Di McKee Brunswick Heads Reflections Holiday Parks have since told The Echo it is BSC’s responsibility to maintain the shed. Ed.

What a waste

‘Clear and transparent’. These were the words put forward by the Byron Council’s citizens jury, – words that the

community should expect our Council to practise. Unfortunately at the first hurdle they’ve fallen. On 31 May the Waste Water Advisory Committee (WWAC) was asked to consider a Low Pressure Sewer Pump System (LPSPS) trial in Mullumbimby; this involved a line of 20 to 30 houses. The WWAC asked for a consultant to be brought in to compare the LPSPS with a vacuum system and the findings to be presented to the next WWAC meeting. Tuesday week ago the head design engineer and the coordinator of W&R met with an expert on vacuum systems from Flovac, discussion was held on extending the Byron industrial estate vacuum system with no mention of Mullumbimby. Somehow the recommendation and minutes now merely ask councillors to approve the LPSPS trial. So the councillors understand what they’ve approved. The LPSPS involves a pod located on the person’s property that holds raw sewerage, plus the installation of a power board that is connected to the household power supply.

In 2010 this system was costed at $19,000 per property in Mullumbimby. This trial has been explained as being a means to identify the worst areas of infiltration in Mullumbimby. I have spoken to several hydraulic engineers who fail to understand how installing 30 LPPs will give indication of infiltration as there is nothing to cross reference it against. I don’t believe this is a trial. W&R will claim the trial is successful and continue installing a LPSPS in Mullumbimby. Does any councillor believe once this LPSPS is in place it will be removed? Councillors, it makes absolute sense to have a consultant come in and supply an independent report on the most cost-effective, most unobtrusive and efficient system for Mullumbimby. Councillors should pass a rescission motion and prevent this costly trial until what was agreed to happens: a comparison of two systems is investigated and the results presented to the WWAC for their recommendation to Council.

continued from page 11 causing problems with noisy weddings etc and keeping a few wimpy farmers awake – Council’s fix is to make them legal. Give them, and the new ones we’ll now welcome, some rules to follow. All cowboys need is a few rules to guide them; we’ve seen it time and again here in the Bay. What’s really good about the new rules though is that they’ve opened up opportunities for whinging about problems that haven’t even existed to date. ‘Function centres’ can include entertainment venues, conference centres, exhibition spaces – the list went on. Think of the employment opportunities we were told – for compliance staff! Speaking of compliance, a couple of Greens did a great Laurel and Hardy routine.

One regaled us about how we had to have this change because we don’t have 300 grand to police the cowboys while the other kept hammering the point that the cowboys are causing far fewer problems lately. They both voted for it! The knock-out joke though was that we have to ask the state government to let us change the LEP because the staff did so much work consulting the masses. Who cares if the masses told them to shove the function centres. Truly – I laughed till I cried. Liz Levy Suffolk Park

Don’t take my waste I have been taking full responsibility for my own household waste for the past 36 years. I have been able to reduce my waste to landfill considerably. Recently I received a letter from Council stating it is now compulsory for me to pay and use their 140-litre bins fortnightly. From August 2018 I am now forced to pay Council triple the cost I previously was paying for my recycling and rubbish including my trips to the Council waste depot. There is no way my household of three in a rural residential area needs a 140-litre bin for rubbish every two weeks. This encourages me, and I am sure others, to place items that could be recycled into a 140-litre rubbish bin. Where is the incentive from Council for householders like me who are conscious of reducing their waste? Instead I am forced to pay for a service I do not need and continue to tolerate the weekly to and fro from the garbage truck that rushes by my door creating noise and dust on an already narrow, degraded road surface.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers It is two decades since a prominent Queensland school began requiring its disruptive students to attend the school chess club, and the results supported the theory that those children would learn to think before they moved and behave better. Now the rehabilitative effects of chess are being given a more serious trial in Canada, with young non-violent criminal offenders being diverted to a chess program rather than prison. In 2003 Canada introduced a Youth Criminal Justice Act, which allowed for extrajudicial measures to be applied as a means of keeping children away from the court and prison system. In the event of a custodial sentence all children receive community supervision afterwards. In the Canadian city of Lethbridge a requirement to undertake a chess course has been added to the community supervision orders for some young offenders. The first five chosen for the program in January had to complete a 25 hour course, involving both instruction and competition. Accompanied by

their supervisors, the recently freed young offenders had to attend for two hours a week, with the course concluding last month. The university professor Lance Grigg, who devised the program, explained that he was inspired to start the study after he heard of a local judge who had required a 12-year-old to undertake basketball practice for five hours per week for a year. He approached the judge and suggested that chess could teach critical thinking, forward planning, and respect for rules. The judge replied, ‘Send me some research.’ There was none, so Grigg decided to do his own study. ‘Past research suggests that chess helps with executive functioning – self control – but there is no research involving youth in the criminal justice system,’ explained Grigg. Though no conclusions have yet been drawn, the founders of the program, called Chess for Life, already noted some spinoffs that they had not expected, including the children seeking to play chess online outside class hours and also carrying their chessboard in public, to identify themselves as chessplayers.

Q There are many people on rural properties, particularly around here, with profound environmental concerns who have taken a very real interest in their own waste management well before Council ever did and, indeed, have greatly influenced Council’s later efforts. When Council eventually provided rural garbage collection a lot of those folk declined the service as they already had their waste-management well in hand and in some aspects the waste management practices of Council were not up to their standard. There was, however, an impost, the same cost as uninhabited properties, about $25, because the service went past their gate. Fair enough, a contribution to the common good. Council have now changed their policy. These folk will be charged full price for the service whether they use it or not. The reasons given:

1.Encourage responsible household waste-management practices. These people have been doing that for much longer and far better than Council. Waste management that causes regular damage to the Brunswick River is not exactly the high moral ground. 2. More equitable financial contribution by ratepayers. These folk already contribute to a service they don’t use. 3. A consistent charging policy across urban and rural areas. Ah yes, the money. 4. Reduce illegal dumping and use of public bins. These people are unlikely to contribute to that problem. Imagine if you had a shop selling a product or service and you could pass a bylaw making the purchase of your stuff compulsory, a marketing wet dream. It could even be legally okay in the finest legal and political systems money can buy but I suspect there are morally superior pirates. Robin Harrison Binna Burra

All hail the megadevelopment Following the West Byron community meeting held on Sunday 17 I would like to remind all the members of the state government who have been approving this development that the Byron community will not let this happen without a fight. I’m asking the state government for an open answer explaining clearly their process of approval for such a massive project as well as a transparent justification about the approval of land rezoning. More than anything, this has the sound of a friend-tofriend agreement without any regard to the community and its environment. The Belongil Creek seems to have been ignored. Where clean water should enhance this ecosystem; what is left to us is a reserve I would not want to walk through owingto the poor condition it is in. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to swim in it; it is so polluted. With a community that has such a strong environmental value, I’m surprised local government do not put in additional effort to protect the natural diversity of that area. Having been personally involved in the community panel concerning the Shire’s prioritisation of infrastructures and its funding, I know that the local government is doing its best with what it has. For that reason I’m pointing my finger to the state government and asking for clear and transparent explanations.

I want answers before being presented with a done deal, which would put significant additional costs on the community (water treatment, depollution, new water drainage and so on). I would like to understand through which process the decision has been made to potentially increase the population of Byron to roughly 75 per cent (from around 3,000 houses to 5,000) and increase the amount of traffic to more than 10,000 car trips daily. What kind of justification can the state government put on the table to explain why Byron should increase so significantly when we know that the size of the town is limited owing to its own landscape? Maxime Deffet Byron Bay Q At the West Byron protest on Sunday June 17, there was something fundamentally wrong with the protest signs – they were opposed to the ‘West Byron Mega Development’. Instead they should be in opposition to the West Byron Mega Growth. Every country in the world today has as a core principle of their macroeconomic policy, growth. The Australian treasury website states ‘We must maintain the growing momentum in the economy’ and ‘Over the next few decades, the challenge for Australia is to raise standards of living through economic growth.’ Pretty typical. Economic growth is measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – the sum of the value of all goods and services produced by a country in a year, measured in dollars (or pounds, euros etc). However, this conceals the underlying biophysical transformations that economic production entails. While it’s true that there is no one-to-one fixed ratio between GDP and kilograms of matter or joules of energy (together termed ‘throughput’ in ecological economics), there is nonetheless a clear direct proportion between them. That is, as GDP increases, so does throughput; both more kg of stuff and more joules of energy are needed. Conceived in this way, clearly, the economy cannot grow forever, yet the West Byron Growth project is simply intended to help fulfil our macroeconomic policy objective of growth. The alternative to the growth economy is the steady state economy (SSE), as described by Herman Daly(ase. tufts.edu/gdae/es135/SSE. pdf); essentially it promotes a

netdaily.net.au constant or mildly fluctuating stock of people and wealth. If Australia was a world leader in its promotion, the West Byron Growth project, like so many others, would not arise in the first place. Jason van Tol Myocum

Climate cooker Chevron’s disgusting delay in sequestering carbon dioxide emissions at their Gorgon gas project is negating the benefit of all the solar power in Australia! The federal government’s pissweak response is pathetic. Australia should be telling Chevron to Gorgoff! Induction cooking is much more energy efficient than gas anyway. Let’s face it: cooking with gas shamefully precipitates cooking future generations of humans and other species. For about $100 you can get an induction cooker and pan and absolve yourself of future guilt... and while I’m at it YTF haven’t the feds put incentives on electric cars like virtually every other developed nation has? Hmmh? Grrr! Sapoty Brook Mullumbimby

Aspiration™ Govcorp Inc is media blitzing their latest advertising trademark Aspiration™ in their latest effort to sell us their trickle-down economics theory. That’s right, sheeple, you should all aspire to rise through sedimentary layers of society. With a little bit of luck and a pinch of ruthlessness you too can be part of the wealthy elite! Just go out and get one of those highpaying jobs like the people in government got.* *Insider connections subject to limited availability, free tertiary education no longer available. I call bullcrap on this mantra of ‘aspiration’. It sums up a fundamental problem of conservative economic rationalism. We shouldn’t aspire to end up on top of a pile that’s propped up by poor masses. And our government should strive to not leave people behind rather than justify it with a slogan. Ziggi Browning Mullumbimby

Eating like a Syrian refugee

450 YEAR OLD JARRAH SLABS 5.3 m long

Melissa Allen shares her insights after a week on a refugee diet Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on rations? Melissa Allen from South Golden Beach has not only wondered but has just finished a week on a diet of rations that is designed to reflect, as closely as possible, the weekly rations of a Syrian refugee in Jordan. During refugee week of June 17–24, Melissa ate rations as part of the Act for Peace Ration Challenge that has been set up to raise money for food, medicine and education for refugees. With a starter pack of Rice: 420g, lentils: 170g, dried chick peas: 85g, tinned sardines: 125g, tinned kidney beans: 400g, vegetable oil: 300ml and two vouchers that allow you to buy 1.5kg extra rice and 400g flour, Melissa began her seven-day challenge to eat like a refugee while the rest of the family followed their normal diet. Having raised $324 Melissa was able to add an extra 200ml of milk and 50g of sugar to use over her seven days. ‘I had a direct experience of working with refugees when I did a six-month volunteer program working in a centre for refugees in Bolzano, Italy, back in 2002,’ said Melissa. While there Melissa had spent a night in the living quarters of the refugees who live in the same building with 80 other families. ‘I also had the experience of sleeping rough next to a river with the other volunteers. We carried our cardboard box beds through the wealthy part of the town, past the bars we would have otherwise been in, in our pyjamas, without anything but a box and a blanket,’ recalls Melissa. ‘The six months in Italy closely connected me to the refugee experience – each day

was a seminal part of my life.’ On day two of the challenge Melissa and her seven-year-old son went to the farmers market for their weekly shop. ‘Every Tuesday we do the same thing together. We finish the shopping and then we sit and have a chai together before leaving for school. It is “our thing.” ‘As we were arriving at the markets I realised I only had 200ml of milk to use. This meant I couldn’t get a chai but technically I could have a hot milk though that meant using up a lot of my milk ration,’ explains Melissa. ‘This sparked a dialogue with my son: “Because I’m a refugee this week I can’t have chai! And if I have milk now then I go without it for the rest of the week”. ‘My son was sad that our ritual wasn’t going to work out. We talked about how differently refugees relate to their food. “If you or I run out of milk, we just duck to the shop to get more. But refugees on rations can’t do that.” ‘The value of a celebration or special occasion and the use of ingredients on those occasions shows up more starkly when we come from a place of lack. I had to work out how much maintaining this ritual with my son really meant. ‘I got hot milk and my son had his chai. The ritual we share is precious. I tell you, I really enjoyed each individual sip of that warm milk, knowing it was a big portion of my rations that week.’

Rice brain By day six Melissa had realised that her fridge was redundant on a ration diet and that she had had no fresh food all week. ‘I was really looking for-

ward to green foods and fruit and a simple cup of tea instead of water,’ said Melissa. On the ration diet Melissa had to re-think her priorities and work out what she had the energy to do. ‘While I have been able to manage working through this week, at times I’ve had a “rice brain” fog. I’ve adjusted by leaving myself a note when I feel like I’m not 100 per cent. This is only one week. I try to expand that out. Imagine not knowing the end point. Ration packs week after week and month after month.’ ‘I am reminded of my time working with refugees in Italy. Handing out their government funded food – two repetitive food options each day on rotation for six months. No wonder when I made the kids toffee they thought I was a fucking magician. The kids enjoyed the sugar rush. The most energy they may have felt in bloody weeks.’ By the final day of the challenge Melissa had plain rice and flatbread – made simply with flour and water – for breakfast, lunch and dinner because that was all she had left. ‘The stodgy food I have eaten all week, the rice and flour and no fresh food, has

left me feeling very bloated and you could say backed up,’ commented Melissa as she looked forward to going ‘back’ to her normal diet. ‘It’s no wonder there are major digestive issues in refugee communities. This ration diet allows the body to survive but certainly not thrive,’ she says. ‘This week I have learned that I like eating sardines and may continue to eat them. I also learned to make flatbread and that I do in fact like falafel. ‘I learned the value of each ingredient and the importance of not messing up in the cooking or you have even fewer rations to eat. I learned how particularly refugees need to mete out their supplies to make sure there is enough. ‘I learned how much our bodies need good nutrition to keep our brains firing well and how noticeably the absence of good nutrition can affect energy and brain power. I learned just how fuckin’ abundant our developed world is.’ Find out more about supporting refugees and the ration challenge online at www. actforpeace.rationchallenge. org.au.

The Byron Shire Echo June 27, 2018 13

Letters continued from page 12 to so many necessary government services since coming to power in 2011. Can we cap the euphoria for a moment, and consider just how this vast largesse has miraculously materialised? It has come from selling off the public assets owned by us; yes, the family jewels forever gone. Since the coalition won government in 2011 they have sold: Country Energy, Energy Australia, Integral Energy, Sydney Desalination Plant, Port Botany, Port Kembla, Port of Newcastle, Bayswater and Liddell power stations, TransGrid, Ausgrid, Titling and Registry Office, Endeavor Energy. The sad result of selling our electricity grid is the loss of at least 600 jobs in regional NSW with another 600 scheduled to go. As of July 2017 NCOSS reported that 77 per cent of low-income NSW households are going without heating in a bid to reduce their onerous power bills. NSW electricity consumers experienced the biggest price rise in Australia with almost half of regional customers now suffering bill shock. These are only the multibillion-dollar sell-offs; there are many more like the complete gutting of our TAFE in-

North Coast news daily: frastructure. It makes all the current porkbarrelling reek of nothing more than rank opportunism. Keith Duncan Pimlico This government has presided over a host of privatisations, outsourcings and cuts to public services and sale of public assets. The ‘marketisation’ of TAFE, resulting in TAFE being defunded and opened up to private providers, has seen the once traditional training for apprentices turn into an obscenely expensive way to gain a trade. In typical opportunistic fashion the government, recognising the dire skills shortage, and a March 2019 election, has decided to play catch up and convince voters, by splashing funds into the gutted institution. Even as this cash giveaway is heralded as a marvel by this deceptive government, it pales into insignificance compared to the ‘efficiency dividend’ of six billion dollars over the next four years, which will undoubtedly see massive cuts to public servants, and an estimated 12,000 in unions, leaving those behind to ‘do more with less’, as work intensification.

This government is cunning enough to realise that cuts to police, teachers, and health will be political suicide, so it will use the jargon that it is ‘backroom workers’ who face the axe – non-core service personnel. This LNP government favouring development, and wealth redistribution, must be held accountable for accelerating wealth and income inequality in NSW, and particular regional country, where youth unemployment is over 20 per cent, and work is predominantly casual.

Buck$ on biobanking At last week’s Council meeting I was tempted to respond to Simon Richardson’s latest posturing over the holiday-let issue and the waste problem. Poor Simon doesn’t seem to realise that during his ten years on Council holiday letting has in fact flourished unchecked. Similarly Council has been trucking its rubbish to Ipswich for many years, with neither Simon nor any other councillor knowing or caring what happens to it there. Now suddenly Simon projects himself as a warrior on waste – not by changing

anything on the ground but by writing letters to this, that and the other body and setting up ‘zero waste’ fantasies. I’m at the at stage of life where I’d like to walk away from it all, leaving the Shire in good hands, but Simon as a Greens mayor is too dangerous a mirage. What finally got me excited during public access last week was the issue of ‘biobanking’ for the Butler Street bypass. Sensing a con, I felt the need to address this issue only at the last minute, so all I could do was read the staff report. As usual that raised more questions than answers; it was obviously designed to assuage councillors’ consciences over any environmental destruction that will result from the bypass. The word wetlands, for example, was conspicuously absent. I will report back because at the end of the day whether a house is filled with residents or holidaymakers, whether councillors fiddle meeting rules or not, whether construction affects one’s amenity or not, those are all self-indulgent, bullshit issues. What counts is what we do with the environment, especially wetlands and biodiversity. In 2018 a council that is controlled by The Greens should not be trashing the Cumbebin Swamp for any reason at all, let alone for a bypass that will at best deliver minor and fleeting benefits. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

Holiday letting Ah, selective perception is a wonderful thing. Reading about accommodation businesses and their sense of injustice as Airbnb users make no contribution to the crumbling infrastructure while they pay full commercial rates and costs, why, it almost brought a tear to my eye. Ratepayers have been calling for a bed tax for years to supplement the costs of subsidising tourist businesses through the maintenance of crumbling infrastructure. Is anyone listening? I’m waiting on the next update from Councillor Lyon on the alleged ‘coalition of councils’ he referred to over 12 months ago and their submissions to the state government for the implementation of a bed tax. Rod Murray Ocean Shores

The missing link I’d like to know what happened to the $1.2million slated for cycleways including Ocean Shores. That was 14 June 27, 2018 The Byron Shire Echo

two years ago and it is still not possible to cycle from Ocean Shores through New Brighton to North Ocean Shores. This is owing to a vital missing link from the corner of Redgate Road, north through to Kollara Way. Signs put up signalling imminent work last year were then taken down with no work done. What are cyclists, young and old, people pushing prams and strollers or a walker supposed to do on all these roads? If Byron is looking to be an exemplary Shire with regard to energy management an exemplary system of cycle paths must be an integral part. Vivi Royston New Brighton

ABC: reason or treason? So the coalition are wanting to privatise our beloved ABC. Having raped and pillaged it for years – now want to hand it over to private enterprise. What is their reason? There is absolutely no economic reason. The vast majority of citizens were happy to have their eight cents a day go towards keeping a truly independent news outlet via radio and TV. Since the coalition came to power that has dwindled to four cents per person. So what is the coalition afraid of? Is it the media barons who support them via agreeable propaganda for their policies? And when asked to they happily crucify the opposition? (Think the treatment of Julia Gillard.) Are they afraid of losing the huge donations from media, mining and big companies? Are they afraid of losing the support of so-called independent parliamentarians who might get their tax cuts through? Or are they afraid of their actions and issues being investigated by journalists who, up until now, have had no ‘master’ to dictate to them? A governing party of a democracy is in power to look after the interests of all citizens, not just the few. The very fact that the coalition are considering privatising a brilliant public broadcaster,, can only be described as treason. They are traitors to the Australian way of life. This from a party that refers constantly to Australian values. Such hypocrisy. It seems this is a party without any moral values whatsoever. People: let your voices be heard, now and at the next election. Save our ABC from desecration. B Guy Lismore

netdaily.net.au Conflict resolution If John Scrivener took a moment to read about what really happened in Israel-Palestine 70 years ago, he would realise that his statement ‘It was the Zionist project that brought terrorism and conflict to Palestine’ has zero basis in reality (Letters, June 20). John, in 1948 the UN General Assembly looked at the area we know as Israel-Palestine and divided it up with the intention of declaring two states – Israel and Palestine. The Jewish world accepted the UN decision, but the Arab world flatly rejected it and the armies of five Arab countries sought to destroy the fledgling state of Israel. Why did they do that? Because saying yes to Palestine would have meant saying yes to Israel. There is a clear and unambiguous nexus between the refusal to accept Israel’s existence 70 years ago and the conflict today. The Palestinian and Israeli people deserve a place in the sun. There are two valid narratives here. Until the Palestinian leadership comes to the table and talk peace, and Hamas is willing to rip up its charter, stating that Israel will be obliterated, the two protagonists are destined to remain just that – protagonists. Vic Alhadeff NSW Jewish Board of Deputies Q Desmond Bellamy’s letter (June 12) is the sort of morally bankrupt and dissembling response we get from Israel’s apologists. Yes, atrocities happen elsewhere, but that doesn’t justify the crimes of the Zionist regime. I challenge Desmond to cite a single historical fact about Palestine that has appeared in The Echo in recent weeks, while over a hundred Palestinians have been shot dead and more than two thousand crippled by Israeli snipers, for protesting the illegal occupation and decadelong siege of Gaza. Apart from occasional letters by Gareth Smith I haven’t seen any letters or articles in The Echo that have noted this slaughter of defenceless civilians. It’s this paucity of information that I have sought to redress with my letters. There are such things as suppressed histories. I think it’s necessary to expose historical facts relevant to intractable conflicts, because knowledge and understanding are essential prerequisites to conflict resolution. John Scrivener Main Arm

As the lava continues to flow residents look to their future Aslan Shand

George and Stephanie Douvris with their children Nicolette, Sophia and John lived in Tuntable Falls from 2008 till 2010 where they reopened the Tuntable Store hosting monthly dinners with all sorts of entertainment from musicians and performers. Nicolette also spent three years working with local children at the Byron Busy Kids childcare centre. But they had no luck getting Australian citizenship and eventually moved back to Hawaii where they were able to buy a beautiful 20 acres. The whole family immediately fell in love with the property. It was already loaded with acres of sugar cane, giant avocado trees, banana patches, jackfruit forests and other tropical lusciousness. ‘We have always gardened on a smaller scale and this was the perfect opportunity to put our skills and love into a place we could finally call home,’ said Nicolette as she recalled the farm that has recently been devastated by the eruptions of lava on Hawaii’s Big Island. Since buying the property

in 2013 they created an organic permaculture farm and planted over 200 different varieties of tropical fruit trees. But on May 3 lava broke out in the area of their farm and within a week their road access had been cut. ‘Not long after a raging river of lava came right up to the land and the heat set our family house on fire. Since we can’t get home we’ve had to rely on aerial footage to see the status of the rest of the farm. Unfortunately the once luscious green jungle has died

and turned brown from the toxic sulphur dioxide gases that continue to be released from the flow. As much as we want to return to check on things, it’s just not safe yet,’ said Nicolette. The flow has already claimed 600 homes and hundreds of acres of land. Scientists say that the flow is pumping out about 100 cubic metres per second – which is the equivalent of about 98,000 litres or enough to fill 12 commercial dump trucks per second. This amount of

lava could fill an Olympicsized swimming pool every 25 seconds. Nicolette’s brother John was the last one to leave the farm and they were able to retrieve some valuables and family photos. ‘A giant 500 foot crater that borders the property filled up entirely with lava overnight and my brother had to be airlifted out as the lava had flowed over the road.’ Though Nicolette and her family are unable to return to their property Nicolette has

been able to join in with international media crews who are escorted by the National Guard into ‘less dangerous’ areas affected by the lava flows. ‘The general public and most residents are not allowed in owing to safety reasons. We need to have on full face respirators, SO2 detectors, hard hats and have safety briefings upon every entry,’ Nicolette explained. ‘As you can imagine there are many concerned and frustrated residents are upset they can’t get in to see what’s

left of their homes, if there is even that. So I have been using this opportunity to photograph as much as I can and post images for the public to see. ‘I plan to continue doing this for as long as I can or until my savings run out. The amount of gratitude I’ve received back from people has been heartwarming. ‘I’ve been offering my services free and have a list of people who have given me their addresses to check in on their homes since they are denied entry. Being able to assist the community in this way has helped me deal better with the stress that this disaster has brought upon us. ‘I miss our home so much and I keep praying for a safe return soon. But with a 12-kilometre raging lava river gushing out non-stop it’s hard to know when that will happen.’ Nicolette and her family are raising money in the hope that they will be able to rebuild their home and farm once the lava flows settle down.

Decolonising the mind: Language revitalisation on Haida Gwaii Story & image David Lisle

A great sense of urgency pervades the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program (SHIP) premises on Haida Gwaii – the mist-shrouded archipelago moored off Canada’s northwest coast. In the House of Chiefs, a beautiful cedar longhouse overlooking the Skidegate narrows, a small group of dedicated elders have been working for two decades to preserve something precious – HlGaagilda Xaayda Kil, the Skidegate Haida language. ‘Long live the Haida language’ is the program’s motto. Its logo is a crab. Legend has it that long ago, when the Haida paddled their canoes through Skidegate narrows, a crab that lived on top of the mountain would reach down and pinch their shoulders because the Haida language wasn’t progressing fast enough. The story is particularly relevant today. SHIP was founded after a popular and well attended ten-day community language immersion program in 1998. Of the twenty original members, nine remain, ranging in age from 80 to 94. The walls of the longhouse are lined with tributes to alumni who have died.

Mass extinctions While biologists and botanists anticipate the extinction of great swathes of plant and animal species in coming decades, languages are going extinct at a furious rate. Every fortnight or so, an elder dies

somewhere on the planet, extinguishing a language and its attendant cultural relics. Of the estimated 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today, half teeter on the brink of extinction; they’re not being taught to children and are expected to disappear by this century’s end. Linguists have identified northern Australia and northwest America as hotspots for language extinction. SHIP is swimming defiantly against the tide. For the last twenty years a group of fluent elders have been gathering, six hours a day, five days a week, diligently working to preserve and revitalise the language. The program

aims to be everything that residential school wasn’t and gives the elders a great sense of purpose.

Flirty words The premises of SHIP is a repository of words and phrases – a vast store of knowledge. The program does some tuition, though its primary concern is cataloguing the language and producing teaching materials (such as children’s books and CDs). The days are spent translating old songs and stories, or delving into the elders’ minds, retrieving words and phrases on particular themes. At present, they’re working on ‘flirty words’. Another pro-

ject has documented Haida place names and accompanying traditional knowledge, providing evidence for Haida title that will be used when the Supreme Court hears the Haida native title case later this year. Haida is one of three ‘language isolates’ in Canada with no clear linguistic connection to any other language. It’s a unique language, perhaps reflecting the archipelago’s isolation. Place, culture and language are deeply entwined, and the Haida are living through a profound and transformative era of cultural regeneration and expansion. Revitalising the language,

although less obvious to the outsider than the raising of totem poles and the flourishing arts, is perhaps more important, for language is more than a mode of communication – it’s a way of seeing and relating to the world. Six weeks after arriving on island I finally managed to visit SHIP and meet the program’s administrator Kevin Borserio. It was the day before we sailed back to the mainland and unfortunately a funeral that afternoon meant the elders weren’t in attendance. But Kevin, who has been with the program since the outset, and his assistant Denver Cross, were busy listening to old tapes, and

had just identified a ‘new, old word’ for their database. In 2016, SHIP published the first comprehensive Haida glossary, containing 30,000 words with perfunctory definitions. In the last year they’ve identified 600 more. Like the crab, Kevin is impatient: ‘Right now we’re just archiving, archiving, archiving, trying to grab everything we can. We get lots of work done. But we’re not a factory.’ Despite the successes of the program, he’s not even sure if his position is funded for the new year, commencing in August. He’s an upbeat guy, but the strain of this monumental undertaking tells in his weary voice. ‘The Canadian government, that was their purpose, to assimilate and take the language away. But not any more. It’s gonna grow back.’ In the spring of 2008, a Haida language play performed sold-out shows on the island. Last year, the first ever feature film in Haida was made. Learning Haida is now fully integrated into the school curriculum on Haida Gwaii. It’s a far cry from the language suppression that was once government policy. Elders who had their mouths washed out with soap and water for speaking their native language in residential school soon learnt to forget their mother tongue. A strange silence grew. But now the Haida are busy decolonising their minds, and raising their voices.

Boredom is fantastic for children’s play

Keep an eye out for yellow crazy ants

A bit of boredom is not a bad thing – in fact it can actually do children some good, say experts at the Australian government-funded parenting website www.raisingchildren.net.au. ‘When children are required to find something to do, they’re forced to use their problem-solving skills, creative thinking and imagination to play,’ says Associate Professor Julie Green, a raisingchildren.net.au director and acting CEO of the Parenting Research Centre. The benefits of boredom are outlined in a new raisingchildren.net.au video series launched for parents; contains tips and information on children and play. ‘It can really be worth parents holding their nerve when the kids complain about being bored. It shows

The discovery of yellow crazy ants in central Lismore, Goonellabah and Terania Creek has led to a call out to locals to be vigilant. The yellow crazy ant is considered to be in the top 100 invasive species worldwide and in large numbers can attack and kill small animals and birds, and damage ecosystems. Michael Matthews, Byron Shire Council’s manager open spaces, said restrictions now apply under the Biosecurity Act to prevent the movement of plant matter and soil within a five kilometre radius of the Lismore CBD. This comes after the NSW Department of Primary Industries issued a General Biosecurity direction to help contain an infestation of the invasive ant. ‘The restrictions mean

children it isn’t the end of the world to be a bit bored and to work through it,’ Associate Professor Green says. ‘It’s important for parents to play with their children but they don’t have to entertain them all the time.’ With school holidays fast approaching that may be music to parents’ ears. Boredom can also allow children to: · let their thoughts and imaginations roam

16 June 27, 2018 The Byron Shire Echo

· explore ideas and think creatively · choose activities that match moods – for example, if your child is feeling full of energy, they might want and need to be physically active. ‘When children are bored it creates a feeling of being able to rely on themselves to be resilient; the ability to get through something that might be a little bit tough and a little bit stressful,’ says Cat Sewell, play specialist.

plant and animal matter and soil, including grass clippings, woodchips and sand cannot be moved within, into or from the restricted zone without a permit from Local Land Services,’ Mr Matthews said. ‘The only exception is material being taken directly to the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre,’ he said. ‘Yellow crazy ants can be spread with the movement of plants and soil and everyone in the northern rivers,

including the Byron Shire, needs to be careful and on the lookout to prevent this threat spreading further,’ Mr Matthews said. Yellow crazy ants are yellow or brownish in colour, around five millimetres long with very long legs and an erratic walking style.

justice system has taken her from being a judge’s associate to a complainant in her own case. What I love most about the Festival...

What I love most about the festival is that it is not only a writers’ festival; it’s a festival for thinkers, for artists, for creative minds, for those who want to make a change in our world and for everyone in between.

Martin & Pam Brook: Founders of Brookfarm The guests I am most excited to see are...

termination that truly makes a difference.

Richard Fidler is undoubtedly one of Australia’s finest interviewers. His unique style always seems to elicit great stories from his subjects. It makes for compulsive listening. Charles Massy because Call of the Reed Warbler is the most exciting book we’ve ever read on the future of farming. Eskil Engdal & Kjetil Saeter because great investigative journalists take you on a journey like a thriller, as the layers of the story peel away to reveal the truth – in the end it’s the journalists de-

What we love most about the Festival...

Discovering new writers who aren’t even on our radar, listening to the art of conver-

sation revived, chance conversations that lead to new friends and a cupboard full of books to feed the soul for the next year. We always look forward to the Byron Writers Festival and it never disappoints. It’s truly a unique Byron experience.

Mayor Simon Richardson Emily Brugman: Festival administrator and writer The guests I am most excited to see are...

my soul feels a bit more nourished. And we love the vegetarian dumplings.

Mandy Nolan because I will be listening to her as I sit in the sun, crying with laughter behind my sunglasses. I can picture it now. Henry Reynolds because as a history teacher in an internet age of keyboard myth making, I relied on his pursuit of truth and meticulous research – he is a living treasure.

The guests I am most excited to see are...

What I love most about the Festival...

Tim Rogers because Heavy Heart is one of my all-time favourite songs and I like to pepper my Festival experience with a bit of rock and roll chat. Manal al-Sharif because her story is historic and courageous, and reminds us of the many kinds of freedoms in the world, big and small.

The open-air layout and festival setup. Once you’re in, you’re in, and you can wander around at your leisure. Take some time out and lie on the grass if your brain needs a rest, or go from one discussion to the next and cram as much info and inspiration in as possible.

The team at The Atlantic Byron Bay

What I love most about the Festival...

The guests we are most excited to see are...

We love it as a family. I seem to always enter a tent, listen to someone I don’t know, and exit blown away with joy, inspiration or contemplation. After each day,

Sarah Wilson has stayed with us at the Atlantic over the years. We’ve always admired her drive to inspire

people to live a healthier and more sustainable life. Emma & Tom Lane have done so much for the local community by creating The Farm; the experiences they have to share will be an inspi-

ration to everyone. What we love most about the Festival...

Byron Writers Festival for us are days jam-packed full

of inspiration from thoughtprovoking presenters. Be prepared to be entertained, educated and motivated. You are guaranteed to walk away with a new mindset and the drive to follow your passion.

Reformed farmer Charles Massy gives hope for the planet Is it too late to regenerate the earth? Call of the Reed Warbler by best-selling author, long-time farmer plus PhD in social change Charles Massy shows the way forward for the future of our food supply, our Australian landscape and our planet. This ground-breaking book changes the way we think about, farm and grow food. Charles Massy explores transformative and regenerative agriculture and the vital connection between our soil and our health. It is a story of how a grass-

roots revolution – a true underground insurgency – can help turn climate change around and build healthy people and healthy communities, pivoting significantly on our relationship with growing and consuming food. Using his personal experience as a touchstone – from a naive, chemical-using farmer with dead soils to a radical ecologist farmer carefully regenerating a 2,000-hectare property to a state of natural health – Massy tells the real story behind industrial agriculture and the global

profit-obsessed corporations driving it. He shows, through evocative stories, how innovative farmers are finding a new way and interweaves his own local landscape, its seasons and biological richness. Whether you are a farmer, backyard gardener, food buyer, health worker, policy maker or public leader Call of the Reed Warbler offers a tangible path forward for the future of our food supply, our Australian landscape and our Earth. It comprises a powerful and moving paean of hope.

Some advice for tenants Remember, you are committing to a legally binding contract with no cooling-off period. You want to be certain you understand and agree to what you are signing.

The lease As a tenant, you should only sign the lease when you: â€˘ have read the lease and asked questions if there were things you did not understand. â€˘ know the length of the lease; and any additional terms must be negotiated before you sign â€˘ Have checked that all additional terms to the lease are legal. For example, the lease does not include a term requiring you to have the carpet professionally cleaned when you leave, unless you have agreed to that as part of a condition to allow you to keep a pet on the premises. If promises for repairs etc are made by the landlord or agent make sure they have been done or have an undertaking in writing that they will be done.

Upfront costs A tenant is not required to pay: â€˘ more than 2 weeksâ€™ rent in advance, unless they freely offer to do so. â€˘ more than 4 weeksâ€™ rent as a rental bond and should not be charged for: â€˘ the cost of preparing the lease â€˘ the initial supply of keys and security devices to each tenant named on the lease.

Managing your bond online Your landlord or agent must give you the option to use Rental Bonds Online (RBO) to pay your bond. Once registered, you can continue

to use your RBO account for future tenancies. If you decide not to use RBO, you can ask your agent or landlord for a paper bond lodgement form for you to sign, so that it can be lodged with NSW Fair Trading.

Disclosure Sometimes a residential property has something in its history that a tenant should know. If they are aware of any of the following they must inform you: â€˘ if the property: â€˘ has been affected by flooding or bushfire in the previous 5 years â€˘ has significant health or safety risks (unless they are obvious when you inspect the property) â€˘ has been the scene of a violent crime in the previous 5 years â€˘ is affected by zoning or laws that will not allow you to obtain a parking permit and only paid parking is available in the area â€˘ is provided with council waste services on a different basis from other premises in the area â€˘ is listed on the loose-fill asbestos insulation register â€˘ if other people are entitled to share the driveway or walkway.

While prices in Sydney and Melbourne are coming down and days on market increasing, there are still some After you move in very strong results in local markets. â€˘ Complete the condition report and return a copy to the landlord/ A property in Keith Street, Bangalow, recently sold through agent within 7 days.

It’s just how we roll. Your properties appear in 7,000 more papers each week than those in the other local newspaper; The Echo is enjoyed where no other paper distributes. According to Roy Morgan Research, your properties are seen by twice as many people in The Byron Shire Echo (v the Byron Shire News). In addition our website (117,500 unique visitors in the month ended 17 December 2015) is visited by more than five times as many people per month. Your advertising spend stays in your community because The Echo is the only local newspaper that has 100 per cent local ownership. The largest shareholder in APN (Northern Star, Byron Shire News, Ballina Advocate etc) is Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Print advertising drives traffic to your website and generates increased activity. It is recognised that a combination of print and online advertising is most effective for property marketing. The most effective print advertising is in Echo Property.

New brewery’s dinner event Have you heard of the relatively new Seven Mile Brewery? Now’s your chance to try some of their beer at an upcoming dinner event. Executive chef Blake Seymour of Ballina RSL is inviting the owners of the brewery, Lennox Head’s Lou and Matt Wilsson, to join him in presenting his next Blake’s Table. The cover price of $69 includes a Seven Mile Brewery beer welcome drink on arrival and several courses. Blake and Matt will also suggest beers to complement each course. Blake Seymour and Matt Wilsson Blake has recently returned from America, and his menu for this dining event will feature flavours inspired by his trip. You can enjoy a relaxed evening where dinner is served grazing style plus dessert. Blake’s Table is always a popular night on the Ballina RSL event calendar, so book now for an enjoyable evening. Blake’s Table. Friday 27 July from 6.30pm. Ph 6681 9500 / www.ballinarsl.com.au

A Busy Man Story and photo S Haslam Chef Blake Seymour will have his work cut out for him in the next few days. After Ballina Food & Wine Festival’s gala dinner for around 200 people on Friday, the Ballina RSL executive chef has a Saturday function for 250 people. On Sunday the winner of ‘Best Plate’ at last year’s festival will be aiming to win again with his slow-cooked brisket burger and sliders, with pickles and slaw. ‘I don’t know if it’s going to win but it’s going to taste really good!’ said Blake. ‘I will also be doing a demonstration with Gavin Hughes cooking a Sri Lankan fish curry. This will be my fourth Festival, and I think it’s great for the local area. There are new restaurants and producers coming to the Ballina region, Ballina Farmers Market has been really well patronized in the last year or so, it’s on a smaller scale than Byron but it’s a good development for the area. I often go there on a Sunday morning with the kids. ‘At my Blake’s Table I often showcase the local suppliers, because not only is it fun to collaborate with them, but my guests find it really interesting to hear a bit of the story behind the food’, he said. As if that’s not enough, on Tuesday Blake, sous-chef Brad Baldwin and apprentice Ben Campbell will be going to Sydney for the finals of the interclub competition called Chef’s Table, competing against 12 other NSW clubs at Ryde TAFE. Good luck, Blake!

Not just food, but an awesome adventure Hidden away in the hills behind Mullumbimby is a little hint of Tuscany. The leaves are falling from the vines, but as you walk by the enormous wood-fired oven you feel a blast of warmth on your body. As you are greeted with a smile by the Toneguzzo family, friendly staff and the local hill folk, you might feel the warmth in your heart. The warmth in your tummy awaits… The menu says it all: Wood-fired pizza, calzone, salads, homemade desserts and more – all mains are $20 and under. If you’re vegan, gluten free, or dairy free they have your covered. The majority of the drinks list and ingredients are certified organic! Huonbrook Valley buys local, employs local and supports local. If you’re after amazing views, you can stretch out on a picnic blanket for Sunday Brunch (9.30–12.30 every Sunday), or for something more cosy and intimate during winter, find a seat at the long tables near the oven and under the heaters on any Friday night (5–8). Huonbrook Valley is located 20 minutes into the hills behind Mullumbimby, through spectacular rainforest and heritage listed Shire potholes: go five minutes past Malcolms Corner until you see the big White Villa. Huonbrook Valley: 361 Huonbrook Road. Ph: 6684 0400. See Instagram, Facebook and website for openings, menu and more: www.HuonbrookValley.com.au.

Brewery party raises $17K for Big Scrub Local independent brewery Stone & Wood held their annual Festival of the Stone at their Byron Bay brewery over the long weekend, celebrating the release of their 2018 Stone Beer and raising $17,000 for Big Scrub Landcare. In the leadup to the festival, the clouds opened and, as expected from previous years, torrential rain battered the brewery tin roof. It was set to be another evening of huddling under the tents, braving the winter elements. However, the morning of the festival was a picture of clear blue skies and the sun came down to shine on Byron. This year’s Festival of the Stone was another roaring success. Managing director of Stone & Wood Brewing Co Ben Summons said, ‘As the village brewery we are proud of Festival of the Stone’s ongoing success. It has such a positive impact in our local community through money raised, and being able to invite locals to celebrate the release of our Stone Beer during the cooler months with family and friends.’ Stone & Wood donated all proceeds from beer and merchandise sales to national not-for-profit Ingrained Foundation, that was set up to extend the brewery’s community program by supporting local charities. Ingrained Foundation will donate all proceeds to Big Scrub Landcare, who work to rejuvenate and protect the local Big Scrub rainforest.

Shannon Greenfields from Big Scrub Landcare has said, ‘Big Scrub Landcare are overwhelmed with this outcome. These funds are a major contribution to our work in caring for our rainforest.’ Highlights from the evening include the first kegs of 2018 Stone Beer being tapped for thirsty drinkers. Stone Beer was brewed eight weeks before the festival and honours the ancient techniques of brewing. By adding wood-fired stones to the kettle to rouse the boil, the malt characters are intensified. Roastedcaramel aromas in this winter beer are balanced with a warming, fullbodied cocoa flavour. Apart from the wonder of seeing 80s Australian pub rock band The Choirboys belting it out, together with synchronised guitar antics, guests also enjoyed an excellent music lineup from the Mash Tun stage, including Loose Leaf, Tropical Zombie, Eliza & the Delusionals, and Last Dinosaurs. Kids were also bopping to tunes and entertainment in the family-friendly area; Malt Disney with DJ Boom Bunny before the area became a space to groove to latenight tunes by local DJ Mr Hai Yes. For those who missed out on this year’s Winter Seasonal at the festival, Stone Beer stockists can be found via their website https://www.stoneandwood.com.au/find-2018stone-beer-now-available/.

BELLO ABOUT LIOR

LIVE MUSIC...P32 CULTURE...P34 CINEMA...P36 GIG...P37

COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS ’TIL BELLO WINTER MUSIC,ARTISTS AND PUNTERS ARE GETTING READY FOR ONE OF THE GREAT EVENTS OF THE AUSTRALIAN FESTIVAL CALENDAR. ON OF THE AWESOME SHOWS AT BELLO WILL UNDOUBTABLY BE LIOR, ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST SUCCESSFUL SINGER/SONGWRITERS, RENOWNED FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SONGS THAT RADIATE TRUTH AND SINCERITY. LIOR, WHO BURST ON TO THE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SCENE IN 2005, HAS TOURED EXTENSIVELY BOTH IN AUSTRALIA AND INTERNATIONALLY. MOST ARTISTS SET OUT WITH AN AMBITION TO BUILD A CAREER BASED ON MUSICAL CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY WHILE MAINTAINING AN INDEPENDENCE AND INDIVIDUALITY IN THEIR CRAFT. LIOR IS CERTAINLY PART OF THAT RARE BREED. WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM LAST WEEK FOR A CHAT

Your music seems to bridge a wide range of styles and genres. How would you describe your current direction? How has it evolved since you first set out? I have played a lot with different arrangements and instrumentation throughout the course of my albums; however, the thing that binds it all together is the strong emphasis on lyric. The lyrics I write are my diary so the choice of how to arrange and record the songs always comes back to choosing the musical context that will best convey the words at hand. I find it very difficult to go on to record and perform a song unless the words hold something that is significant and meaningful for me. Where did you grow up and did you grow up in and around music? I was born in Israel and moved to Australia at an early age. Israel is an interesting place musically because it is a melting pot of so many different cultures, both East and West, and the music they all bring. Looking back I’m now aware of how much my ear was being enriched by being exposed to so many sounds as a young kid. It was only upon arriving in Australia at the age of 10, where I picked up the guitar, which then became my conduit to start singing. I’m not from a particularly musical family… music seems to have found me.

Can you name some of the artists who have inspired you during your musical journey? I listen to a wide range of music but the era of the late 60s and early 70s has always been the golden age of songwriting for me. The artists of that time, from the great bands (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles,The Doors) to the amazing songwriters (James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake) are the ones that left the biggest mark on me. You released your most recent album in 2014. Has there been a planned direction your albums are going in? My focus first and foremost is to write genuine songs that resonate with me and will hopefully connect with others. I leave the ‘concept’ projects to the various side projects that I weave around my songwriting and album making. Albums for me are about presenting a collection of a diverse set of songs that I am proud of. In 2016 you made your first music theatre appearance in Fiddler on the Roof, sharing the stage with Anthony Warlow and Sigrid Thornton. Can you tell us about that experience? It was an inspiring and terrifying experience all wrapped in one. It isn’t an artform I thought I would ever undertake, but something propelled me to dive outside of my comfort zone. It was a steep learning curve and a lot

of what I learnt through that experience has carried over into the core of what I do as a singer/songwriter. It’s the old cliche of the importance of challenging yourself, which often translates to putting yourself in a place that can be a little scary or confronting. Sometimes making yourself vulnerable is the only road to the attainment of the courage that you need in order to express yourself. Please tell us more about the Compassion project. In short, Compassion is a project I undertook in collaboration with the incredible Australian composer Nigel Westlake. The work is a songcycle for voice and orchestra whereby I gathered a collection of ancient Hebrew and Arabic texts that give a poetic insight into the wisdom of compassion, and proceeded to write original melodies and orchestration to them together with Nigel. Compassion was a way of further exploring the fusion of eastern and western vocal styling, which has shaped parts of my sound over the years, but thematically also a way of expressing the common ground shared by two of the oldest cultures that have had such a tumultuous history. It is a humanitarian rather than a political statement, one that Nigel and I feel is truly universal. Compassion was also a way for me to work with Nigel, who I believe is currently one of the greatest composers in the world. We were fortunate enough to

perform it with many of the major orchestras in Australia and I recently premiered it in the US. I feel the work has struck a deep chord with many people and is something I’m very proud of. You recently performed a beautiful concert with Paul Grabowsky at Lismore City Hall. Do you have more performances with Paul planned? Yes… Paul and I are bringing our show to the Powerhouse Theatre in Brisbane on11 August. Working with Paul in reinventing a collection of my songs for piano and voice has been a great experience. The colour and dynamic range of Paul’s playing is quite remarkable and to have that brought to my songs has been a thrill. What’s next for Lior? I am just in the final stages of my new album which is set for release on1 August. I will spend much of the latter half of the year touring it both in Australia and overseas. What can audiences expect for your performance at Bello Winter Music? The show in Bello will be an intimate solo show. I’ll be performing a few songs from the new album as well a selection of old faves. Lior is performing at Bello Winter Music on Sunday 15 July. More info and tickets at www.bellowintermusic.com.

SOCKS APPEAL

There’s one saying I particularly hate: it’s ‘pull up your socks’. It kind of refers I guess to a sense of self-reliance and comes from an era when you were just expected to suffer quietly and not make your life’s challenges a problem for anyone else. You needed to behave yourself. And if things were bad just adopt the socks-up grin and bear its mindset. You’re not allowed to wallow in your situation. It basically means you should take responsibility for your own pain. Your own hardship. Your own shit and just get on with it. It’s easier said than done but I kind of get the basic principle and in a way part of me does agree with the underlying ethos. I mean if you are constantly complaining your socks have fallen down and instead of simply bending to adjust them you are screaming for some other sock puller to come and give your foot apparel a good firm tug then you are going to have a pretty miserable life. Well at least in the sock department. (I guess you could just start wearing thongs.) It’s also much more efficient in many circumstances in lieu of waiting for a willing and friendly passing sock puller to pass by, to just pull your own socks up. But what if you’ve lost the ability to know how to pull up socks? We assume everyone knows how, but if you’ve lived through generational trauma, chances are the ability to pull up socks was lost decades ago. What if your socks are faulty? What if they won’t stay up no matter how hard you pull them? That happens. Everyone’s suffered a limp sock from time to time. You know, the sad hopeless little sock that just can’t stay up no matter how hard its pulled? What irks me about the saying ‘pull up your socks’ though is how little tolerance it shows for difference or circumstance. I believe it reflects a mindset that has no compassion for anyone who might be currently sock challenged. For instance, the saying assumes that all socks are to be worn pulled up. That’s just sockist. That might be okay for football players and 1973 Geography teachers who liked to team their walk socks with dress shorts, but these days everyone likes to wear their socks differently. You should never assume there is only one way to wear socks. Some like their socks all crumpled. Some like one up and one down. Some like their socks to be invisible, eg those tiny unpullable sockettes.

HIATUS KAIYOTE In the two years since selling out their Sydney Opera House gig, Hiatus Kaiyote have become one of the most sampled bands in the world. They feature on the closing track on Kendrick Lamar’s Damn and the opening of Drake’s More Life record last year and have popped up on cuts by Chance The Rapper, Anderson Paak, and Rhapsody. They’ve come a long way since 2011 when the four-piece band operating out of a small home studio in the midnorthern suburbs of Melbourne fired out a unique and kaleidoscopic vision of future soul. At once they shook down the paradigm walls and inspired even the US originators of the music. Often revelatory, Hiatus Kaiyote’s music is also well-rooted in all of that rich lineage that makes it feel somehow warmly familiar. Their phraseology cannot be bound simply by the 4/4 metre; it spills out into rhythmic rivulets that never sound unnatural or clever for clever’s sake. Jazz, soul, funk, fusion, hip-hop and electronica are their predominant building blocks, but the resultant sonic shapes blur the edges and defy the pigeonhole. But like all great new art, their music has a sense of inevitability about it. It’s as though those notes and beats were somehow destined to fall together in that same inexplicable pattern all along, just waiting to be uncovered, unlocked by the right combination of exploratory, inquisitive musical minds. We can all count our lucky stars that those minds happen to live on our own doorstep. Hiatus Kaiyote | The Northern | Thursday 28 June | Free

There are even some people who don’t have socks. I mean you can’t be expected to pull your socks up if you don’t have any. Many homeless people don’t have socks. They can’t just pull them up as per the classic John Laws listener approach to social welfare. It presupposes that all of us are born equally with the same opportunities, the same family situation, the same access to education, the same level playing field. That we all have the same socks. But we don’t. Our ethnicity, our gender, our sexuality, our socioeconomic background, our mental health… well all that really makes a huge impact on what kind of socks we have (if any) and how often they fall down on us and require a good pulling. I think the test of any community is their ability to pull up the socks of those who can’t. Or to provide access to socks that will stay up. That’s about the dignity of socks. In the end the whole pull-up-your-socks bullshit is about mindset. I’d like to see a shift perhaps harking back to the insights of of an ancient philosopher, Sockrates, who clearly wore his at half mast. (They’re not much good with sandals.) ‘Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune, nor too sorrowful in misfortune.’ And that my friends, is the joy of socks.

GOOD THING ON A BAD PONY A group who describe themselves as a ‘five-piece indie rock band. Many drums. Many sings,’ Bad Pony think there might be something about growing up in a nation essentially founded on a prison labour colony that instills in a band a sense of tirelessness. Whether it’s heritage, hope, or insanity that fuels Bad Pony, they simply don’t seem to stop. Since releasing their debut EP Limbo in 2015, the Sydneybased quintet has independently released four selfproduced singles, all with national radio success. On the touring front, this premier indie outfit have clocked up thousands of kilometres with five national tours since 2016, an appearance at world-renowned Music Matters, Singapore, in 2016 and a showcase at Canadian Music Week in 2017. The band finished off a successful 2017 being announced as part of the Australian lineup at the world’s biggest music conference, SXSW 2018, in Austin, Texas, and taking out the win for the Australian Music Week Award.

POP THAT CORK Daniel Champagne is established as a worldclass and internationally renowned performer. How many Australian-born artists can spend the majority of their year touring the globe and selling out show after show in North America, Canada and Europe? And doing it tour after tour after tour?

Dubarray’s latest album release is an uplifting compilation of songs that has seen the band spring to new heights in their songwriting and production. Inner Sanctum is a journey through the band’s eclectic style of music with a powerful message about the awakening of self-healing, taking the power back from the imposing external forces of our current world and spreading the conscious message through an interwoven high-vibe musical alchemy. Dubarray have been smashing out shows all around the nation and will be finishing it all off with a free-entry show at the Byron Bay Brewery. Dubarray with support Skyeater | Byron Bay Brewery | Friday 29 June | 7pm | Free entry

Not many is the answer. And in between Champagne finds just enough time to broaden his following in Japan, South America, Mexico and other countries. Oh yes, and then return to Australia and New Zealand for the sort of touring that virtually no other artist can do in 2018. This tour will see Champagne performing songs from his acclaimed Fault Lines album plus other favourites and new songs. Tintenbar Upfront Club | 7.30pm | 29 June | Tickets www.eventbrite.com.au

BRING YOUR CREATIVITY TO HOLLYWOOD

Screenwriters and content creators in rural, regional and remote Australia are being asked to bring their creativity to Hollywood as part of a new partnership between Screenworks and Los Angelesbased Australians In Film(AiF). An annual Regional Screen in LA Scholarship Program has been created to give an Australian screenwriter and content creator the opportunity to participate in a bespoke fourweek residency program in Los Angeles. ‘This partnership between Screenworks and AiF will support and connect screenwriters or screen creators living in regional, rural or remote Australia to the global industry and will create an exciting platform and entry into Hollywood.’ The residency will be based at Charlie’s AiF’s creative share workspace at the historic Raleigh Studios, home to classic movies Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, iconic TV shows such as Dallas and now Netflix. Many of the top Australian films and TV episodes are made in regional areas or set in the distinctly Australian landscape, and international audiences are now watching regionally based TV episodic dramas, such as The Kettering Incident Glitch, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Rosehaven. For the Regional Screen in LA Scholarship Program, Screenworks will undertake a nationwide call-out for regional screen creatives/screenwriters who have achieved initial success and are able to demonstrate significant talent and career potential. Each annual scholarship opportunity is valued at approximately AU$20,000. To fund the program, Screenworks has already secured an initial anonymous donation of $20,000 for the first scholarship placement, with Screenworks now looking for a further $40,000 to secure a three-year program. If any individual or company wishes to support the regional screen industry and have their name associated with the scholarship, please contact Screenworks or online at www.givenow.com.au/regional screenscholarship. Donations are tax deductible. Applications for the inaugural Regional Screen in LA Scholarship Program will open in the coming weeks.

WAR CRIMES AT BYRON HIGH Year 11 drama students from Byron Bay High School (BBHS) are excited to be bringing their powerful production of Angela Betzien’s War Crimes to the stage next week, and warmly invite the Byron Shire community to attend one of their three evening performances. War Crimes gives voices to five tough, poor teenage girls from Cummergunja, a forgotten coastal town with limited opportunities. They each fight their own personal battles, railing against authority and each other within a culture of masculinity and racism. We witness their individual struggles to develop a sense of identity and agency, in a community where tensions are high and powerlessness breeds hatred for ‘the other’. The play presents important messages about youth culture, friendship, empathy, compassion, racism, belonging and identity, and draws important parallels between conflict, violence and oppression in a world at war and in the lives of small-town teenagers. Under the guidance of drama teacher Simone Museth, the students have taken on technical, design, direction and acting roles with professionalism, talent and skill – some even learned their lines in Arabic! The play has been largely directed and designed by students themselves, and their creative efforts are sure to impress. Contemporary Australian playwright Angela Betzien claims that the play was written with the ‘intention of stirring up some big questions about our national history, identity and future…’ and ‘what is sacred to us as a nation’. The play will have audience thinking deeply about questions such as ‘Who calls Australia home?’ and ‘What is worth fighting for?’ Tickets for this gripping drama are selling fast and seating is limited. Performances are held on June 28 and 29 at 7pm in the BBHS Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $10 adult, $5 concession and $25 family of four. CONTENT WARNING: The school wishes to advise that the themes of sexual assault, racism and teenage drinking, along with sexual references and coarse language, make it unsuitable for some audiences. Mature audience 15+ is strongly recommended.

CULTURE CULTURE CULTURE CULTURE CULTURE GRAND PLANS FOR LOCAL THEATRE Now in its third year of operation, Public Act Theatre is proudly embracing some extraordinary game-changing opportunities. The creative team at PA have some very exciting plans in the pipeline. After recognising an opportunity to bring Applied Theatre (Social Arts) to the northern rivers, founder and director Jo Franklin established Public Act Theatre in 2015, teaming up shortly after with two well-known local theatre practitioners Frauke Huhn (Cicade) and Philippa Williams (Theatre of Life).

PA is not a traditional theatre company in the sense that many participants and performers have never performed onstage before! ‘Theatre For ALL’ is the essence of this social-arts theatre company. Supported by the Byron Bay Community Centre, Public Act Theatre have been able to operate as a resident theatre company at the Byron Theatre, delivering many different styles of social arts projects to the community. Apart from weekly workshops, Public Act also design specific programs in collaboration with government agencies and community services.

Public Act’s latest program designed for the community service sector includes the introduction of a Seniors Theatre Outreach Program, bringing interactive and playful engagement to both residents and carers in residential homes and aged-care facilities across the northern rivers. Public Act have not stopped there. The company is experiencing an exciting diversification in the later stages of 2018, with a second arm to the company being established with its first ever international artist collaboration. The stage is

being set for a ground-breaking collaboration with international artists La Pocha Nostra. PA is to host the San Francisco-based company in a residency for other ‘rebel artists’ and radical arts enthusiasts right here in the Byron Shire, with one of their famed five-day intensive pedagogy-based workshops. Term 3 is now open for bookings, and earlybird prices are available, but only for a limited time, so get in quickly to secure your spot! For further details on all courses, please visit the website www.publicacttheatre.com or join them on Facebook.

THE DRILL HALL IS PUTTING OUT THE CALL Opening this weekend, the Drill Hall Theatre Company presents The Call by Patricia Cornelius, a potent and topical play about a life that led to an Australian injustice. David Hicks is an Australian who was captured in Afghanistan in 2001, sold for $5,000 to the US military, and detained in Guantanamo Bay until 2007 when, after much political controversy, he was released to complete his sentence in Australia. His crime, of providing material support for terrorism, was based on the fact that he had attended a para-military training camp in Afghanistan. Widespread Australian and international criticism over his treatment, the torture he claimed he was subjected to, the poor evidence tendered against him, his trial outcome, and the newly created law under which he was prosecuted eventuated in the US Court of Appeals ruling that his conviction was invalid because the law could not be applied retrospectively. In 2015, Hicks’s lawyer announced that the US government had said that it does not dispute Hicks is innocent and his conviction was not correct. Directed by Mike Russo and Georgia Martin and with a bravely committed cast, Drill Hall Theatre Company will present The Call over three weekends beginning 29 June. The Call contains very strong, uncompromising language.

The Drill Hall | Fridays and Saturdays from 29 June | 8pm | Sundays at 2pm. The theatre is heated for your comfort and tickets are available from The Bookshop Mullumbimby, at the door or online at www. drillhalltheatre.org.au.

NOT THE LAST OF THIS WITCH Quite good houses have seen the production of The Last Witch as it opened at The Rochdale Theatre on the weekend. Director Tim Winton-Brown says playing to the public has allowed the actors to gel, boosting their performances and taking the show to another level. ‘The play hums along with an ensemble cast singing together as it moves to Main Arm to play for three weeks at Kohinur Hall,’ says Winton-Brown.

Audiences have loved what they have seen so far with: ‘It kept me engaged and enthralled throughout,’ ‘The leads were especially impressive, fantastic performances!’ and ‘Great work! We really enjoyed it – Congratulations!’ spilling from the post-show crowds. The Last Witch, written by Rona Munro for the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, sees a darkness born out of the grinding poverty of the lives of the 18th-century Scottish highlands, in Dornoch, and in the vengeful hearts of men struggling with the free spirit of an independent woman who is not afraid of them. Based on the true story of Janet Horne, the production reveals the strength of women living in a brutal and unforgiving time. Having finished its Lismore run, the show moves north to Main Arm. Kohinur Hall in Main Arm, closing 14 July. Tickets are $25 / $20 and are available through the Main Arm General Store, The Mullumbimby Bookshop, and Music Bizarre in Lismore, or search The Last Witch at www.trybooking.com.

CINEMA REVIEWS BY JOHN CAMPBELL

THE RETROGRADE QUINTET OF MARS, JUPITER, SATURN, NEPTUNE AND PLUTO INTENSIFY THEIR HOLDING PATTERN AS INHABITANTS OF PLANET EARTH CONTEMPLATE THEIR FUTURE…

ARIES: Things you once loved lost their sparkle? No need to angst, it’s only the seasonal makeover of your social circle and activities under way. And though some goalposts will shift suddenly, this is otherwise a gradual process. Keep your home zone a cosy refuge for withdrawing, and stick to steady routines. TAURUS: You can almost hear the cosmic brakes squeal and general energetics decelerate as inner work heads up the specials on this week’s menu. It’s an excellent period to identify attitudes and ambitions you’d like to change, rehash some of those plans on the back burner, even dust off a few unrealised dreams. GEMINI: During retrograde transits, things we’ve sidelined or neglected finally get to catch up with us. Quick fixes and bandaid solutions may not work, and plans you’ve already made may have to take a detour. Your response will dictate the gameplay: whether it’s irritation and blame or good-natured patience, you get to choose. CANCER: If backtracking Mars brings a competitive edge to this week’s interactions, don’t engage head on: lateral tactics are your forte. Late-week full moon’s the best time to address financial, legal or business dealings, and if you’re feeling the urge to splurge on home comforts, why not? A wee birthday giftie’s in order after all… LEO: With Mars revving up your internal world, take a pause before aggravating this week’s problems further. Listen instead to Venus in Leo, your personal love mojo who won’t be ignored and likes you looking good. Even if you’re not feeling it, give yourself a glamour fix – the awesome rewards will make you glad you did. VIRGO: Not everyone has Virgo’s high standards, so if your natural generosity’s taken advantage of this week, no need to be despondent. Just stay away from drama zones, hang with simpatico friends and give yourself the luxury of doing some of those things you love but never seem to have time for.

LIBRA: With the love planets in fixed signs, it’s hard to tell if they’re fighting or frolicking. Venus in lookat-me Leo’s easily miffed and Mars retro can be a real crankypants: ditto the people in your world. The next couple of months require very delicate handling: in speech, behaviour and on the highway. SCORPIO: With Mars in competitive mode this week’s emotions could be shaken and stirred. Everyone’s likely to be hypersensitive, so do your best to restrain divisive impulses and aim for inclusive. This isn’t an auspicious time to initiate things so wait for circumstances to unfold, stay calm, and stick with the love. SAGITTARIUS: Venus in theatrical fellow fire sign Leo can get some fun ideas brewing that you’re probably keen to test drive, but retro Mars and its posse of planetary heavies tosses an emergency situation in your path: equipment breakdown, family crisis, unexpected expenses or accidental damage. Supportive friends are a fortunate godsend. CAPRICORN: Structural Saturn and innovative Uranus presently working together in earth signs favour a blending of contemporary and traditional business ideas, radical inventions backed by realistic action plans. While late-week Capricorn full moon wants to move full throttle forward, retro Mars on the cosmic computer says No. Not yet, anyway. AQUARIUS: Fiery Mars heating up Aquarian air can make you feisty and combustible – but this is a time to slow down, listen and learn. The next two months are a wakeup call to examine personal behaviour with regard to the feelings of family, friends and colleagues. Would a mini-vacay help sweeten this process? PISCES: With retro Neptune still in the initial stages of its shift, life might feel more fuzzy than fizzy. But infinitely more workable if you move focus from the world’s woes to lavishing special attention on your significant others – something Venus in party-loving, generoushearted Leo has lots of ideas to inspire you with.

CINEMACINEMACINEMACINEMA INCREDIBLES 2

About ten minutes or so before the end of this thunderously boring cartoon, I glanced at my companion. Her ears, like mine, were bleeding from the constant aural onslaught. We had no option but to flee, fearing that the grand-finale smash-up might deafen us irreparably. This is one of those movies that, ostensibly, presents itself as a spoof but follows to the letter the guidelines of the subject it wants to make fun of. In this case, as the title suggests, that subject is the Marvel super-hero (and am I the only cinema-goer who longs for the day when Marvel will have disappeared up its own combustible anus?). The Parr family is back – lanternjawed Bob (voiced by Craig T Nelson), Helen (Holly Hunter), feisty daughter

Violet (Sarah Vowell), plus a brat son and baby. All of them are ‘Supers’. At the time we are reunited with the Parrs, superheroes have been outlawed because, costwise, they are more trouble than they are worth to the city. In a campaign to have the law repealed, Helen, as Elastigirl, takes on the archvillain Screenslaver, whose power lies in being able to hack computers. The big deal, the ‘iconoclasm’, is meant to be with the missus going out to work while hubby stays at home dealing with the endless challenges of raising bub and keeping the household functioning. There are some reasonable gags in these domestic scenes, especially as Bob gets more and more frazzled by the task, but this sequel is nowhere

near as witty as 2004’s original (not that I am entirely sure any more that that was as funny as I remembered it). The animation is as beautiful as you’d expect from Pixar/Disney – a sequence in which Elastigirl chases a metro train is particularly good – but social comment is neither original nor sharp enough to be cutting. More interesting by a country mile is the wordless Japanese short preceding it about a stay-at-home mother who dreams that her departed son reappears to her as a dumpling.

JURASSIC WORLD 3 To a cco m m o d a te e ve r y b o d y ’s infinitesimal attention span, T-Rex gobbles up a bloke at the very beginning of the movie, before we’ve even broken the choc-coating on our ice cream or been introduced to the central characters. A franchise’s production line rarely produces anything as good as the original that spawned it. Jurassic World (2015), which also starred the terminally bland Chris Platt, made a pretty decent comeback for the ailing Jurassic series, but none of them has got to within a bull’s roar of matching the wonder and awe and excitement of

Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original. In JA Bayona’s turn to squeeze more bucks out of dinosaurs, an unflappable hero and a pretty girl in a sweaty T-shirt, too many of the 128 minutes fall into glazedeyes territory. The ancient species on Isla Nublar (Cloudy Island in Spanish), site of the failed theme park from the previous flick, are threatened by volcanic eruptions. Former employees of the park, Owen and Claire (Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard), aim to save them – Owen is especially keen to be reunited with Blue, his ‘pet’ velociraptor. The bad guy is Eli Mills (Rafe Spall), whose plan

is to sell them, including the genetically engineered Indoraptor, to the highest bidders (among whom an unshaved Russian is the Brute). There are a number of provocative questions raised about where DNA research is taking us all – a mutant human is revealed near the end – and there is a genuinely heartbreaking shot of a brontosaurus left to its fiery fate. But most telling is the bookended commentary of the scientist Dr Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum – the only survivor from 1993), lamenting the self-destructive nature of homo sapiens. The manic final act, set at night in a gothic mansion with heavy rain falling, is too much like Snakes on a Plane to be taken seriously and, of course, the conclusion primes those punters not dinosaured-out with potential for yet another instalment. Did King Kong and Godzilla ever think it would come to this?

Hoss lands a beauty Locals outperform at Surfmasters Titles

Geoff (Hoss) McGrath brought home over $3,000 in prizes over the June long weekend. Photo supplied

Cabarita Beach once again welcomed avid fishing enthusiasts from across the country for the 31st annual Lions Tweed Coast Marine Greenback Charity Fishing Competition held over the June long weekend. After two days of fishing enthusiastic and exhausted entrants returned with tailor, mulloway, bream, black bream, swallowtail, tarwhine, flathead, and whiting. Up for grabs were 47 prize categories as well as 25 lucky draws. The prize pool was worth more than $30,000. Out of 566 registered anglers Byron Bay’s Geoff (Hoss) McGrath reeled in the biggest fish, winning first prize for his 3.58kg tailor. Geoff took home $1,500 in cash and $1,500 fishing and camping goods donat-

ed by Tweed Coast Marine, Alvey Reels, Anaconda West Burleigh, Wazza’s Bait & Tackle (Pottsville) and Stone & Wood. Mathew Louis won second prize for his greenback catch, weighing in at 2.76kg and Geoff Johannes came third with a 2.44kg tailor. Harrison Taggart, a previous junior winner, was this year’s Alvey Reels Men’s first division winner and also picked up the Arab Memorial Trophy for the heaviest bag overall.

Whopper Jackie Garbutt pulled in a mulloway weighing in at a whopping 17.94kg and collected the Anaconda West Burleigh Ladies first Division and the heaviest anaconda West Burleigh mulloway.

Neil ‘Freddo’ Cameron 2018 O-60 NSW champion. Photo Ethan Smith/SNSW Crystal Cylinders

Byron Bay’s Neil ‘Freddo’ Cameron and Lennox Head surfers Sandro Neto, Michael Crisp and Max Perrot competed at the 2018 HIF NSW Surfmasters Titles held at Boomerang Beach on the mid-north coast. The swell magnet at North Boomerang provided good waves over the four days of competition. The event attracts the best 35-years-and-over shortboard surfers from all over NSW and acts as a qualifier for the NSW team to compete at the Australian Titles. Cameron added yet another NSW title to his portfolio, taking out the Over-60 Men and booking his spot in the NSW team. Cameron played to his

strengths, catching an array of punchy lefthand peaks, allowing him to perform a chain of powerful carves and snaps and as a result, post an impressive 15.83 two-wave heat total. Crisp finished runner-up in the Over-35 single-fin division and had a quarter final finish in the Over-35 division. Perrot finished with a third place in the Over-35 single-fin division, a semifinal finish in the Over-55 division and a quarterfinal finish in the Over-50s. Neto finished with a semifinal finish in the Over-35 and a quarterfinal finish in the Over-45 division. Neto’s efforts earned him a spot in the NSW team for the 2018 Australian Surfmasters Titles to be held in August on the Tweed Coast.

Geckos hold nerve to sink Byron in Shand Cup Young tennis players Brian Mollet

The elite sporting world is largely run for the benefit of rapacious corporate entities and populated by punks and posers, but way back at grassroots level the Nick Shand Memorial cricket still extols the virtues that made the game great in the first place. The perfect winter weather saw Lomath Oval shining like a diamond stud in a bat’s ear as incumbent champs the Byron Full-Tossers emerged from their holiday lets and beachside condos to tussle with the Geckos, the team that represents no specific locality, but wave their willow for the glory of rapacious corporate entity The Echo. James called correctly at the toss and chose to bat. Rossco (34) jumped out of the box like a greyhound after a live bait, and although James fell to Mahesh trying to emulate his scoring feats, sol-

id hitting from Drew (37no) ensured the Geckos a firm footing. Byron’s James Watson (2/9) and skipper Adam (2/11) reeled in the middle order, managing to peg the Geckos back to a fair-to-middling total of 138. This did not look like it was going to be enough as the Byron top order of James, Adam (34) and Jamie all fired off quick runs. A run out to skipper James and a mesmerising spell of looping leggies from Trent (3/6) proved the difference as the Geckos enthusiasm in the field brought home the win by 23 runs. Top votes in the Middle Pub player of the season went to Adam and Trent. Next week the Main Arm Maulers take on the Suffolk Swingers. New players welcome; see Shand Series Cricket on Facebook.

All-girl Miniroos get extra skills training at MNVFC

This football season marks the first ever that girls-only MiniRoos leagues (4–11-yearolds) have been made available by Football Far North Coast for the area and Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley FC are delighted to have three participating teams. ‘It’s a clear indication of the rising popularity of football for girls and is definitely something to celebrate,’ club secretary Shane Creek said. ‘The establishment of girls’ leagues in this earlyage group will also increase playing opportunities in future junior grades, something that has been difficult in our region owing to low participation numbers’.

As part of the development of Miniroos Holly Ayton, the local female football participation officer, joined in to help coach Mullum’s allgirl MiniRoos teams at their training session at Pine Avenue. The girls had heaps of fun and the coaches learnt some great new drills. Holly then spent a few days visiting other clubs, running coaching courses and attending all-girl MiniRoos games. MBVFC has doubled its female players in the last three seasons and they now represent almost a third of the total club membership! See: www.mbvfc.com.au

Eleven teenagers from the Northern Rivers Tennis Academy travelled to Grafton to compete in the North Coast Open over the June long weekend. ‘Although no-one came home an outright winner, there were plenty of matches won and lost over the four days of competition, and everyone had a lot of fun,’ coach Steve Gort said. Boy and girl duos made it through to the doubles semi-

finals and singles players got through to the quarterfinals as well. The Mullumbimby-based squad is also joining forces with young players from Alstonville and Ballina to play in a State of Origin style tournament against the KDV Academy, based in Carrara on the Gold Coast. The event scheduled for this weekend will see roughly 40 players from each side of the border hit the courts.

The Apex Byron Bay Rams collected good wins beating the Bluedogs reserve grade 3–0, and 4–o in the premier division on the weekend. The top game was closely fought and locked at 0–0 for much of the opening session. With only minutes remaining in the first half Jonathan Pierce made no mistake with a penalty kick and the Rams went to the break with a 1–0 advantage The second half saw Bangalow attacking from the whistle but sound defence from James Tomlinson and Simon McCarthy kept the

Bluedogs at bay. As the second half battle wore on, the Rams began to take the upper hand. Jono Pierce finally broke through the Bangalow defence to make it 2–0. Soon after, Pierce again lobbed a ball over the Bangalow goalkeeper to complete his hattrick and give the Rams a 3–0 lead. With seconds remaining, Matteo Ribechini iced the cake, making it 4–0. After a few tough weeks, it was a welcome return to form for the Rams. This week the Rams play Lennox Head Sharks at the Rec Grounds from 12.30pm.

Backlash Proving that democracies can easily waver and fall, Turkey’s re-election of President Erdogan on Monday will see the country’s independent legal system abandoned and Erdogan given new powers to select judges and impose a state of emergency at his choosing. According to the BBC, Erdogan will also be able to appoint ministers and vicepresidents. ‘Turkey has been under a state of emergency since a failed coup in July 2016,’ writes the BBC. ‘…more than 50,000 people [including public officials and soldiers] have been imprisoned pending trial since the uprising.’ Q Q Q Q

Following Erdogan’s cues on reducing civil rights and expanding govcorp interests is the federal Liberal-National coalition. Independent federal MP Andrew Wilkie, former intelligence analyst whistleblower, reckons parliament ‘is on the verge of passing draconian legislation that undermines government transparency, our civil liberties and freedom of the press.’ He says, ‘Had this legislation (the Espionage and Foreign Interference Bill) been in place in 2003 when I alerted the Australian people to our government’s Iraq War deceit, I’d have faced 25 years in prison.’

‘We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green’ – G K Chesterton. Q Q Q Q

Could drones replace the humble postman in 20 years? Deakin University have been exploring how the next 20 years will pan out with artificial intelligence, robotics and automation. Of course such advances promise to affect thousands of people, so let’s hope future governments display more empathy towards the electorate than they do now. The report was commissioned by the federal government as part of Australia’s first inquiry into National Freight and Supply Chain Priorities. It aims to inform how Australia will

keep pace with threats from global development, growing automation, climate change

and a rising population that is increasingly centred in congested cities.
