IKEA HAS BETTER CABINETS THAN THE MORRISON GOVERNMENT

Ghoulies take over Bruns

Contentious Bruns park to be protected under NSW Labor Hans Lovejoy While NSW Labor have pledged to ban camping on the Southern Terrace Reserve and return the Brunswick Heads reserve as a community space, local Nationals MLC and 2019 candidate Ben Franklin instead has backed his government’s controversial stance to allow commercial activity and current management to continue. The reserve contains vulnerable and degraded Coastal Cypress trees, which residents say have been neglected in favour of camping by Reflections Holiday Parks, a government-owned corporation.

Key election issue

Voluntary breath testing at festivals about to fold Hans Lovejoy & Paul Bibby An organisation that provides voluntary breath testing and drug and alcohol information for music festival patrons says that without political and financial support, it will ‘cease operation in the next month.’ Despite STEER Project being supported by local Nationals MLC and 2019 election candidate, Ben Franklin, he is yet to confirm if his government will step up to assist

with the vital program. Franklin told The Echo he was ‘very impressed’ with the program and will be raising the organisers’ concerns ‘with relevant ministers and offices within the government.’ Meanwhile local Greens MP Tamara Smith told The Echo she has been ‘making representations to the minister on behalf of STEER Project since 2015.’ She says it’s time for a sensible critique of the Liberal-National’s failed war on

drugs, ‘and that practical initiatives like this were embraced.’ STEER Project is led by local firefighter Phil Preston and since 2010 the program has gained groundswell support from festivals, Byron Council, local police and youth organisations.

Draconian response The threat of closure for the program comes as the government released a draconian response to

Brunswick Heads Public School celebrated its fifth annual ‘Fairtastic’ night of Halloween fun last Saturday afternoon and evening. Principal Trisha Parker said the Halloween Fair had become a hit over the years, ‘because parents love the opportunity to have some Halloween fun in a safe, family-friendly environment’. The only thing missing from previous years was plastic. ‘One of our kindy classes had the idea of trying to make our fair as plastic-free as possible,’ said Mrs Parker.

Shadow minister for Lands Mick Veitch visited the Brunswick Heads Terrace Holiday Park on Monday and said the future of the reserve will be a key issue in the upcoming March state election. ‘[It’s] a clear choice between a Foley Labor government, which would save public space and the endangered pines, and a Liberal-National coalition government, which would continue to favour development over the environment.’ But Nationals MLC Ben Franklin told The Echo that the manager, Reflections Holiday Parks, ‘is committed to ensuring environmental protections are at the forefront of its operations.’ ‘Reflections has committed to significantly reduce the number of camping sites from 54 down to 30 and will introduce revegetation and ▶ Continued on page 2

Environmental policy questioned Veitch added, ‘The National Party’s shocking attitude to environmental policy was on display this week when it attempted to abolish the Murray River Red Gum National Park and open it up to logging.’

â–ś Continued from page 1 maximum 25-year penalty for drug dealers who sold substances that resulted in a death, and on-the-spot fines of up to $500 for drug possession. Yet the state’s peak body for contemporary music, Music NSW, say the proposed changes added complexity and had significant flaws, both in terms of the impact on festival organisers and their effectiveness in keeping people safe. Music NSW managing director Emily Collins told The Echo, ‘Given that most evidence suggests that heavy-handed policing doesn’t deter dealers or drug users, it’s unlikely it’ll have the impact they’re hoping.’

Illicit drug focus In a letter to local state politicians and councillors on October 24, STEER Project’s Phil Preston said the Keeping People Safe at Music Festivals

Report, which underpinned the government response and was authored by an ‘expert panel’, focused ‘largely on illicit drugs’. Preston wrote, ‘It’s not just illicit drugs killing people. In NSW during 2015, alcohol was found to be a contributing factor in 47 per cent of fatal crashes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.’ ‘I suggest there is a model we can use to complement the ‘war-on-drugs’. It is a model STEER Project have successfully implemented since 2013 to reduce alcoholrelated harm at music festi vals and community events. ‘The model could be adapted to similarly reduce drug-related harm. The STEER voluntary breathtesting model is founded on establishing trusted person-to-person connections with patrons. Within that trusted connection we offer information and resources associated with

alcohol consumption and safe driving, eg knowledge of standard drinks, monitoring/ counting number of standard drinks, awareness of different rates of alcohol absorption for each individual, providing an accurate measure of BAC and discussion of transport options. The voluntary breath-testing model has been found particularly relevant for P-plate patrons who have a BAC of 0. STEER Project actively promote the Plan B message: “If you are drinking, don’t drive,� and also promote the message, “If you are driving, drink alcohol-free alternatives�.’ Yet NSW police have not offered support in terms of providing voluntary breath testing. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner J Corbey wrote to STEER’s Phil Preston last August, and said the NSW Police Force cannot provide support for informal, or voluntary, breath-testing measures. Corbey said it ‘May serve

to provide a false impression that a person may be able to drive after consuming alcohol.’ The road safety initiatives supported by the NSW Police, he says, include, ‘the fundamental principal [sic] of if you are drinking, don’t drive.’

Failed drug war The Echo asked Local MP Tamara Smith why she believes the police are unsupportive of voluntary testing. She replied, ‘I think that the government resists alcohol self-testing at festivals because it is so against selftesting of other substances.’ ‘The war on drugs rhetoric precludes the idea that drug users (alcohol is a drug) can take responsibility for their drug use. If they support alcohol self-testing then what is to stop pill testing – and we know that the nanny state and the LNP fear pill-testing philosophically more than they fear the deaths every year from pills at festivals.’Â

Council reverses decision on moving Australia Day ceremony Council have backed down on a decision to hold the Australia Day awards ceremony on a different day, owing to a breach of the Australian Citizenship Ceremonies Code. Council staff confirmed with The Echo The Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony, hosted by Byron Shire Council, will be held on January 26, 2019. Council’s media spokesperson said, ‘Byron Shire Council’s Australia Day

Awards ceremony will be held on the evening of January 25.’ Staff say the minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, David Coleman, wrote to Council after its decision to move its Australia Day Citizenship ceremony to January 25. They said, ‘Minister Coleman advised Council that to hold an Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony on January 25 would be in breach of

www.echo.net.au/byron-echo Byron Shire Echo archives

the Australian Citizenship Ceremonies Code, and Council was therefore excluded from presiding at any future citizenship ceremonies.’ Council wrote back to senator Coleman to say that they would continue to hold an Australia Day Citizenship ceremony on January 26 ‘in keeping with the Australian Citizenship Ceremonies Code’. ‘Minister Coleman has now advised Council that he

has accepted this undertaking,’ said the spokesperson.

Correction In last week’s story Nude Sunbather Escapes Conviction, The Echo incorrectly reported that police found Ms Barbagallo in the dunes, rather than the beach, and implied that her sole defence for being naked outside the signposted area was her health.

Local News ReForest Now’s very important earth mission More than 2,800 seedlings and thousands of rainforest seeds have been saved by local not-for-profit group ReForest Now, say organisers. Funded by Santos Organics and local philanthropists Brendan Blaiklock and Maria Altea, ReForest Now recently completed their brand new rainforest tree nursery at the Mullumbimby Community Gardens. ReForest Now’s Maximo Bottaro told The Echo, ‘For over 15 years, the founders of ReForest Now have worked in environmental research, education, fieldwork and rainforest regeneration, establishing ReForest Now to facilitate consistent, tangible outcomes for rainforest conservation.’

Future generations ‘Their goal is to facilitate the return of thousands of trees to the rainforest in order to re-establish local rainforests for future generations. ‘The ReForest Now

West Byron land to be urgently reviewed A staff report is expected for the November 22 Council meeting that will review the environmental attributes and constraints of the contentious West Byron urban release area. It comes after a successful motion from the October Council meeting (Cr Hunter opposed, Cr Spooner absent). Greens Cr Michael

Lyon told The Echo that following a staff report, Council could ‘potentially lodge a change of zoning in the LEP that better reflects what the site can handle. This process will not affect the DAs before the JRPP currently; but it will mean if they fall over, any new DA would have to comply with the new zoning.’

Water mining is the new CSG: campaigner Chris Dobney A rally at Uki last Saturday succeeded in stopping two tankers in their tracks that organisers say were illegally carting water. Scott Sledge, a veteran Tweed campaigner and co-ordinator of Northern Rivers Guardians, told The Echo the trucks were carting water against the condition of their licences. At around 10.30am, after the rally had heard from Mr

Sledge and Tweed Water Alliance spokesperson Jeremy Tager, the 200-strong crowd ‘spontaneously ran out onto the road to block the tanker,’ Mr Sledge said. ‘We asked the driver whether he was aware that it was against Council conditions for them to truck water on the weekend and he said he wasn’t.’ Mr Sledge said that after they explained the situation to the truck driver, the crowd let the tanker pass.

But the truck returned at around 1pm with a second tanker, also believed to have come from the same property. Mr Sledge, whose group staged some of the early actions against CSG licences in the region, said he believes that water mining is becoming ‘the new CSG’ in the northern rivers. It’s become a flashpoint at Uki. They’re very angry about the amount of traffic going through at all hours,

which is not allowed. ‘The people just feel like they’re being walked on. The people don’t believe the water belongs to the trucking companies – they believe it belongs to the public,’ Mr Sledge said. There are currently 11 active and pending applications for water-extraction operations within the Tweed Shire, while Alstonville has also been earmarked as potential growth for water extraction.

Aslan Shand As part of the first wave of new age settlers to call Main Arm home in the 1970s, Carol Moore was a founding member of Narada, the first multiple occupancy (MO) to be recognised by Byron Shire Council. Friend and founding Narada member Jan Praetz shared a partially built dwelling with Carol, which came to be known as the ‘bottom house.’ ‘Carol always loved the bottom house and we all set about making it a home, planting a vege garden and fruit trees. I have happy memories of us all having lots of swims in the pool down behind the house.’ In 1973, Carol met the love of her life John Pierre and together they brought their son Moses into their lives in 1975. ‘John Pierre put his creative stamp on Bottom House

with leadlight windows, his wonderful rock walls, sculptures and landscaping, while Carol enhanced this with her garden layouts and plantings,’ reminisced Jan. Carol was a loving mother to Moses and grandmother to Oscar. ‘She was quite gregarious in nature and one of her most well-known sayings was “let it rip,” which was also her mantra in life,’ said her old friend Donny McCormack.

Environmentalist ‘Carol loved music and dance with a passion and whenever there was a gig, Carol would always be found on the dance floor rocking on. She had a great sense of humour, was an active environmentalist and anti-war campaigner and loved a good debate on any given subject.’ Carol died peacefully on October 17 after a long fight with cancer.

It began on a verandah in Suffolk Park ten years ago and has now helped transform the lives of around 1,000 girls at risk in the northern rivers. The Chrysalis girls’ program celebrated its tenth birthday last Saturday, with girls from the program, past and present, coming together to celebrate their achievements and support the journey that they are all on. Director and co-founder Amie Dryer said, ‘We had a number of girls who started in the first program who were there and one even had a six-week old baby.’ Working as a teacher aid at a local high school, Amie had been helping a number of at-risk young women to access support programs, but realised there was more she could do to support them.

The Byron Shire Echo Volume 33 #21 • October 31, 2018

Let’s buy into Villaworld! Those opposing the West Byron development may want to consider taking a corporate activism approach. Do you trust the government? The state government – especially under the Liberal-Nationals coalition – have repeatedly ignored the wishes of the community over this issue and amended Council’s planning policies to facilitate the developer’s wishes. Do you trust the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP), who will determine the DAs? Led by a former Nationals MP, the ‘independent’ planning panel approves most of what it determines, albeit with conditions. It’s widely accepted that this government and its panels exist to facilitate development at almost any cost. Currently there are two DAs to be determined for the entire site – one by a group of ‘locals,’ and the other is by uber-wealthy Sydney developer Terry Agnew and QLD-based Villaworld, which is a publicly listed company. While the ‘locals’ DA churns its way through the courts owing to a deemed refusal, Villaworld are about to have their AGM in November on the Gold Coast. What better time to buy some cheap shares and attend the AGM to let the directors know the proposal is not wanted by almost everyone in Byron Shire? It will destroy sensitive koala and frog habitat and further congest Ewingsdale Road, just for starters. Then there’s the need for 3m of fill and huge engineering and approval obstacles. It’s greed and destruction on steroids. Buying shares in Villaworld is as simple as logging into your bank’s online ASX shareholder portal. The big banks and most credit unions all have them, and for a lazy $500 (or more if you want!), you could help turn the tide on this environmentaltraffic clusterfuck. Fun fact – Villaworld is a smallish company in terms of ASX listings and its shares are slumping. Known as VLW on the ASX, they are valued at just $1.98 (as of last Friday). In January a share was worth $2.79. As for Villaword’s top shareholders, they include Brazil Farming Pty Ltd, Asset Management Arm, Dimensional Fund Advisors L.P, Quest Asset Partners Pty Ltd, Vinva Investment Management, IFM Investors Pty Ltd, Pendal Group Limited, CVC Limited and The Vanguard Group, Inc. Also worth considering are the banks that underwrite Villaworld. According to the company’s 2018 Annual Report they are Westpac and NAB. These are banks that have been found by the Royal Commission to have deceived and preyed upon the public, so backing out of a toxic unwanted greenfield site could be a benefit for their public relations. There is endless avenues for corporate activism! The Villaworld AGM is November 16 from 10am at the Gold Coast Sofitel Hotel in Broadbeach. All shareholders welcome.

t appears that Wentworth – or Malcolm Turnbull, for that matter – never really happened. Scott Morrison is ploughing on regardless, business as usual. There is no need to change direction – rather the imperative is to go on pretty much doing what we are doing, but more aggressively. Albert Einstein once said that insanity was repeating the same actions in the hope of producing a different result. But what would Einstein know? He never worked in marketing. ScoMo ProMo knows that to get the outcome you want can only be achieved through remorseless repetition, preferably by shouting the same thing more and more loudly. In the end those who have not been persuaded will be battered into submission. Well, that’s the theory. Unfortunately, it does not always work in practice – Jobs and Growth, the great company tax cuts strategy, had to be severely curtailed before the coalition could defiantly call it a victory. Our politicians generally justify their tergiversations in the name of the great economist John Maynard Keynes, who one said, ‘When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do sir?’ But what would Keynes know? He never worked in marketing either. Our dauntless prime minister understands that any concession to unwelcome facts would be a sign of weakness. So get used to another six months of slogans, non-sequiturs, internal contradictions and relentless negativity. That, Morrison is confident, is what the voters want. And even if they don’t, that’s what they’re going to get. In the instability and chaos Morrison so perceptively foresaw, there is really nothing else to offer. The Libs and their mad-right boosters justify this stance by declaring that just as Malcolm Turnbull was never a real Liberal, Wentworth is not a real electorate. It may have voted their way for well over a century, but let’s face it, it is little more than a refuge for spoiled, rich do-gooders, latte sippers and bleeding hearts who have never had to worry about anything important and can be left to indulge their fantasies of compassion, like not leaving incarcerated children to go mad and die.

And that could be, and usually was, ignored in the bigger picture devised by Morrison and his colleagues. True, it might be a bit tough on the kids but for the greater good – votes in the marginal seats of the western suburbs – the policy must be stern and immovable: as Peter Dutton has made clear, even the smallest spark of human decency must be expunged from any consideration that would weaken the great goal.

Australia pays the impoverished island Nauru a motza to work as a jailer, enforcer and suppressor. Mungo MacCallum And so the idea Morrison hinted at of rejigging the New Zealand offer to resettle some (though far from all) of the refugees in the frantic lead up to Wentworth is now, it seems, too hard to manage and of course it is all Labor’s fault. Back to business. But it is not turning out quite that way – the times may be finally a-changing. And interestingly, the rumblings emerged before Wentworth, and Kerryn Phelps’s uncompromising promise that getting the children off Nauru would be her overwhelming priority. During the campaign, we heard that 11 refugees and their families had been medivacced to the Australian mainland, and without the customary opposition from Border Force and the need for court orders. The official line is that as soon as they are diagnosed and treated they will be returned to Nauru, but in practice some 600 have already followed the same course and have not yet been summarily returned. There is at least a suspicion that the government is trying, surreptitiously but deliberately, to solve the problem while preserving the brutal rhetoric. Even the dwindling handful of moderates in the party room have started to raise their concerns. Julia Banks is on her way out of the Liberal Party anyway so has nothing to lose by speaking out, but others are murmuring too. And most

of the crossbenchers are eager to move. Most importantly, there are signs that the public’s willingness to accept the catchcries of the politicians (national security, stop the boats, evil people smugglers, tragic deaths at sea and the rest) is becoming more sceptical. The success of the controversial turn-back policy has now been confirmed and the horror stories of the medical experts are gaining more and more credence. The possibility of an infant death as a result of the political solution is being taken seriously and Morrison, however reluctantly, is realising that perhaps he can no longer rely on the issue which has served him so long and so well. Certainly another leader is already worried. The Nauru autocrat Baron Waqa has redoubled his efforts to smother scrutiny and dissent, expelling medical staff in increasing numbers and silencing the judiciary. And in this case our foot-in-mouth environment minister, Melissa Price, has got it pretty right: with this bit of the Pacific, it is always about the money. Australia pays the impoverished island a motza to work as a jailer, enforcer and suppressor and Waqa trousers a good chunk of it for himself. He is not about to relinquish such valuable hostages lightly. But Morrison’s professional experience will tell him that it is all about customer preference; if the brand itself becomes tarnished, like the Pacific Solution is threatening to do, it will have to be changed. Wentworth may not have been the start of the movement, but it has provided an effective catalyst. And perhaps, just perhaps, we can remove the atrocity and shame of offshore detention from our must-have list. Morrison is determined to move slowly, if at all; but he cannot simply wish away the Wentworth result as a political tantrum brought on by generations of wishy-washy affluence – the politics of envy, as our millionaire right- wing commentators are wont to call any desire for reform. Closing Nauru and Manus would not save the world, or even the government, but it would be a vast improvement. And all things are relative – surely even Morrison must agree with Einstein on that.

Drivers – chill out! Please chill out! Recently I’ve noticed an increase of aggression on our roads, particularly in Byron CBD, and it’s frequently from our friends across the border going by the number plates. Tailgaiting, gap filling, beeping for no reason, speeding up when pedestrians are trying to cross (even for elderly or families and children). Our infrastructure isn’t set up for lots of traffic, but being aggressive towards other drivers and pedestrians is not going to help your cause – it just makes everyone feel anxious.

What’s everyone in a rush for anyway – it’s Byron isn’t it? Looking forward to the day our town facilitates pedestrians and has parkand-ride schemes in place. Visiting Byron? Take a moment to smile or say hello to people on the street. Anika Ebner South Golden Beach

For the koalas II In reply to Victor Eddy (letters 17 October) concerning Susie Russell’s and Dailan Pugh’s involvement in saving active forests of NSW. Yes they did, along with lots of other conservationists. I ask Victor what part of conservation doesn’t he understand? After witnessing Forests NSW management firsthand it’s clear that Susie’s and Dailan’s conservation zeal would not be responsible for koalas’ becoming extinct. It’s the other way around and you know it mate. Paul Brecht Evans Head

Q In reply to Victor Eddy – for decades the unsustainable timber industry has been subsidised by taxpayers and most of our high conservation, old-growth forests are gone. The remaining seven per cent of high-conservation ‘pristine’ native forests are in national parks. Thank you, Susie Russell and Dailan Pugh, for working tirelessly with altruistic intentions for no pay. You are the real local heroes. The Regional Forest Agreement isn’t ‘protecting’ koalas – these forests are fragmented, lack koala food tree variety and don’t offer connectivity. Koalas don’t benefit from ‘productive’ forest management. In 1788 there were about 10 million koalas in Australia, today in NSW there are fewer than 10,000. One of the main reasons is because Forests NSW (that log our forests) are illegally destroying habitat. A 100-metre buffer is supposed to be left around koala habitat trees in ‘managed’ areas; however, these rules are flouted as habitat trees are destroyed. Weak ▶ Continued on next page

Cannabis driving The minister for roads, maritime and freight Melinda Pavey introduced legislation for NSW’s mobile drugtesting program so first-time drug offenders get a $561 fine and lose their licence for three months. Justification for this draconian change is because ‘81 people died in crashes involving someone with illicit drugs in their system’. The minister wants us to believe that driving with minute traces of cannabis in your system ‘causes accidents’ but she can’t actually say that because it isn’t true. She chooses ‘involved

For North Coast news online visit with’ rather than ‘caused by’, just as people with caffeine or nicotine ‘in their systems will be involved in crashes’. There’s no evidence that cannabis consumption adversely affects driving. The biggest research into cannabis and driving was conducted by the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration using data from 3,000 crashinvolved drivers and 6,000 control drivers. It concluded there is no ‘significant increase in levels of crash risk associated with the presence of drugs (cannabis)’ in a driver’s system. Traffic deaths in Nevada dropped over 10 per cent in the first year of legalised recreational marijuana (Nevada Department of Public Safety). It’s assumed this is because, given free choice, many

New-look Echo When I first saw the new, black masthead on last week’s Echo I thought it was a practical joke. Then I wondered if some really important person had died. But then I read the accompanying blurb and was shocked and depressed to realise that this was the new look that spelt the end to the Rainbow Echo. All I can hope for is that you guys were having a particularly bad day when you came up with that idea. Donny McCormack Main Arm

Future possibilities Boyd Kellner’s muscular comments about the need to build a ‘political class struggle ideology’ rather than offering ‘feelgood ideas’ to overthrow corporate capitalism remind me of the sort of politics – ironically enough – that preceded full-blown neoliberalism. I should know; I was a member of the International Socialists in the UK during the early 70s. Our revolutionary activism was head-banging fun

but it didn’t get us very far even though we thought we had the ‘correct line’ – Thatcher got elected in 1979! What we forgot to do was include a cross-section of people in our conversations. I think we were too busy being ideological purists! With respect, Boyd, I think you miss the point: we need a compelling, persuasive story about a different future, not an ideological straitjacket which, in my experience, invites rigidity and dogma. Yes, the junk ideas that underpin greedy capitalism need to be exposed, but then we require a set of coherent ideas, principles, and an alluring story to guide our thinking about the sort of future we want. It needs to be an inclusive story that embraces everyone, and that doesn’t mean reducing everything to class – I’m afraid, Boyd, that so-called ‘identity politics’ still matter. We also need to think harder about how we create meaningful relationships, even with those people we disagree with. People will act on the basis of their lived experiences, hopes and aspirations – on their dreams and utopian ideas. What they want to hear is that life doesn’t have to be

like this, that fairness, a clean environment, peace, and real democracy (free of corporate influence) have discernible benefits for all. Richard Hil Mullumbimby

Australia’s shame The architect of Operation Sovereign Borders introduced to break the people smugglers’ business model can now end offshore detention. Boat turnbacks work with 33 boats intercepted since 2013, the last in June 2018. Indefinite detention, the second prong, drives to despair people robbed of all hope of living safely. Many children needing urgent medical treatment have traumatic withdrawal syndrome. The response? Critically ill people are denied medical evacuation despite court orders. Parents of children with declining mental health are charged with neglect. Self-harm is now a crime. People driven to this are arrested – not given medical assistance. Respected medical personnel are evicted for raising concerns about mental health. Our government is no different from people smugglers. Its business model pays Nauru $3,000 per refugee per month.

Nauru justifies its increasing depravity because it relies on this money. Treating refugees as commodities makes the Australian government complicit in people trafficking. It’s time to break this business model. Meg Pickup Ballina Q Paul Brecht (Letters 24 October) is correct. This shouldn’t happen in 2018. Unfortunately, many of us, although we recognised that what John Howard was doing was wrong, didn’t realise that it would continue and get worse. Now it will take a lot of effort and time to correct.

News Appeal for increased water extraction dismissed Larry Karlos’s appeal to increase water extraction in Tweed Shire has been ĎĶƆŔĶƆƆĕĎ ćƷȞƐIJĕ dëŕĎ ëŕĎ 0ŕưĶſşŕŔĕŕƐ !şƖſƐȂ Aslan Shand Mr Karlos recently lost an appeal against the Tweed Shire Council’s refusal to modify consent conditions for his water-extraction business in Urliup Road, Bilambil. He had requested an increase to both the quantity of water being extracted and the size of trucks transporting the water for bottling. Both requests were refused by the Land and Environment Court (LEC). Mr Karlos was granted waterextraction rights in 2003 in relation to his commercial water extraction, but then continued to develop the site without council approval installing infrastructure and extra bores. The original approval consent had allowed for the extraction of five megalitres of water per year. According to the judgment of Justice Moore, ‘At the present time, at six loads of a six-metre truck per day, every day, with such a vehicle holding approximately 13,000 litres of water, Mr Karlos’s annual water extraction would be approximately 28.5 megalitres.’ Mr Karlos had sought to increase the trucks used for water transportation from six-metre-long rigid tanker vehicles to 19-metre-long articulated vehicles. ‘If the present proposed vehicle size

modification were to be approved, the maximum annual volume physically able to be extracted, if only the vehicle size and movement restrictions were taken into account, would be 65.7 megalitres,’ stated Moore’s judgment.

Appeal dismissed Justice Moore dismissed the appeal based on the fact that the amendments sought to the original development consent would not ‘if modified, be substantially the same as the development originally approved’. According to Jeremy Tager from Tweed Water Alliance, ‘The Court laid out in stark detail the unlawful nature of the current operation. It is [potentially] taking too much water, and using infrastructure that was never approved, including his pumping station, water tanks and turning area. These unlawful activities have been occurring since the operation began in 2003. ‘The Court’s decision means that councillors will now consider – again – whether to bring enforcement proceedings against the operators,’ said Mr Tager. ‘Enforcement proceedings must begin. There is really no excuse for councillors not to uphold the law – as they are legally required to do. The infrastructure that isn’t authorised

www.echo.net.au/byron-echo Byron Shire Echo archives

must be removed and the operation must cease. ‘Additionally, the Tweed Water Alliance wants to see substantial penalties imposed on the operators for these significant breaches and the money used for community projects in Bilambil. ‘He has been getting away with lawless behaviour for years at the expense of the community. They deserve something in recognition of what they’ve been through.’

!şƖŕĈĶō ſĕƆżşŕĎƆ The dismissed appeal was discussed by Tweed councillors during a closed session of Tweed Shire Council on Thursday 25 October. Vince Connell, Tweed Council’s planning and regulation officer, told The Echo, ‘Council in regard to the current compliance investigations into the water extraction activities being carried out on the premises No. 477 Urliup Road, Urliup, continues to follow legal advice in pursuing regularisation and compliance of the water extraction activity. ‘In accordance with this resolution, Council officers are currently seeking advice from Council’s solicitors on their review of the LEC judgment, and to verify the accuracy of the proposed Order, prior to it being issued.’

Rolling government Australia’s political system was always meant to be ‘bottom up’ not ‘top down’, so it’s inspiring to see Dr Kerryn Phelps’s Independent victory in the Wentworth by-election. Her win was a 20 per cent swing from the Liberals who’ve held the seat for 117 years since Federation. Political parties were

never part of our Constitution, but since 1901 have gradually taken over. It’s well-known advice for lawyers seeking judicial office: ‘join a political party’. One of the fallacious principles we’re meant to believe is that the judiciary and political systems are separate, yet both complement each other and live off the taxpayer even after they retire. Ex-governor-general Peter Hollingworth, forced to resign by John Howard for covering up sexual misconduct in the church, still pockets benefits exceeding $600,000 every year until his death – and should misfortune befall him earlier then his wife picks up 75 per cent of his pension. Then there’s John Howard costing more in retirement than he did in office, with up a $1m bill at taxpayers’ expense in his first year of retirement.

Political parties and the elites who run them have their snouts in the trough. Wentworth voters have wised up. I hope voters in Tweed and around Australia will do the same. T Sharples Tweed Heads

No transparency The growth of our region and the capacity issues of our Tweed Hospital have been on the table since 2011. The endorsed Tweed Heads Hospital Redevelopment Masterplan along with the detailed $211.6m budget for the three-stage project was submitted to the government in 2014. Stage 1 was to be completed by 2017. After a fierce campaign a small portion of the much needed funds ($48m) was allocated prior to the 2015 election to commence the redevelopment.

It is proposed to relocate the Tweed Hospital to Cudgen’s State Significant farmlands. NSW Health Infrastructure refuses to engage in a transparent process. To the credit of NSW Planning it has required the significant issues of this proposal to be addressed, so now HI has withdrawn its initial application and will make application to itself to authorise preliminary works without exhibiting an Environmental Impact Statement or lodging a development application. They also fail to disclose the Cudgen site is directly in the airport flight paths and safety zones with aircraft movements increasing from 40,000 to more than 100,000 within the next 20 years. These same issues were cause to reject other sites. Lindy Smith Tweed Heads

This was not a win for the perverts, but a win for the many decent communityminded people who love using the beach as nature intended. Well done! D James Myocum Q Very disappointed that

our councillors decided to continue to allow overt lewd and potentially dangerous behaviour at Tyagarah. Families can no longer go to the tea tree lakes and the beach at Tyagarah without fear of obscene behaviour. The situation has become uncontrollable.

Department of Planning and Environment Exhibition of State Significant Development Application and Proposed State Environmental Planning Policy New Tweed Valley Hospital (Concept Proposal and Stage 1) Application No Location Applicant Council Area Consent Authority

SSD 9575 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen (Part Lot 102 DP 870722) Health Administration Corporation Tweed Minister for Planning

Description of proposal Concept development application for a new hospital including: • A Concept Proposal comprising: - a maximum building envelope for a nine-storey hospital with basement, rooftop helipad and plant rooms; - a maximum building envelope for a building accommodating supporting services; - a maximum floor area of approximately 65,000sqm; - the site layout, internal road layout, site access arrangements and car parking areas; and - a landscape masterplan identifying open areas and concept public domain treatments. • Concurrent Stage 1 works comprising: - identification of the construction compound; - augmentation and connection of permanent services for the future hospital; - tree removal within the footprint of the construction works; - bulk earthworks and recycling of materials to establish the site levels; - piling and associated works; - stormwater infrastructure and associated retaining walls; - rehabilitation and revegetation of part of the wetland area; and - construction of temporary internal roads for use during construction.

on the ratio of actual town sewage versus infiltration and inflow of stormwater during and following rain (as volumes per day). In new sewer systems, a ratio of 1:4 is anticipated. In old systems, 1:8 is common. In Mullum, 1:16 occurs regularly. Our system is very broken! In 2018 Council proposed to identify the worstperforming sectors of Mullumbimby and find out why they performed badly. Controversy has arisen over which sewage collection system should be used. If the project is halted it could take months or years before a decision is made on how to move forward. Don’t hold up the resolution of the inflow/infiltration problem while the type of sewage collection system is considered. The issues can be considered in parallel. Even if a ‘wrong’ system is installed now, it won’t matter because that wrong system to 20 houses can be replaced with the ‘right’ one in the eventual roll-out to hundreds of houses. Duncan Dey Main Arm

Q The vote to adopt a LowPressure Pump Sewerage System points to a lack of corporate memory. Council’s own New Brighton study concluded that compared to Vacuum Systems, ‘Pressure Pump Systems are more prone to blockage by large solids and foreign objects, and the small-bore rising mains have the potential to block... [which] means a higher maintenance requirement with consequently lower reliability’. Pressure pumps have proven to be problematic and expensive: Some New Brighton homes have had to have their pump replaced three times since installation. Residents have been horrified to learn they have been paying for the power to these pumps. During heavy rain, the pump sounds an alarm for

the resident to turn it off. A Vacuum System has been costed at $15–18,000 per house compared to a Pressure Pump System at $25,000 per house. Four months after mayor Simon Richardson stated in an email that ‘Staff have acknowledged the deficiencies in some of the pipes… The vacuum process has shown itself very cost efficient, more reliable and more effective’, Council voted for the low-pressure pump system. Ratepayers deserve a comparative cost benefit study of the two systems. To spend millions of dollars on a ‘trial’ of a low-pressure pump system on 20–30 houses is nonsense – it is pre-empting the retrofitting of the same elsewhere across town. Susan Skyvington Mullumbimby

ĕĜŕč ÄŽĹ&#x;Ĺ•Ä• Ĺ&#x;Ć°Ä•Ĺż Ĺ&#x;Ĺ• ÉĕƆĆ? ơſĹ&#x;Ĺ• ÍčÍĜŕ Dailan Pugh Byron community has been done over again on West Byron by machinations of the state government, Byron Shire Council and developers. Faced with no option but to refuse two West Byron development applications (DAs) the Northern Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) appears to have taken the tactical decision to accept late amendments to both DAs, effectively deferring decisions on them until next year, with one to be handed over to the court to determine.

Manifest ÄŽÄ•Ç• ÄˆÄśÄ•Ĺ•ÄˆÄśÄ•Ć† It is hard not to believe this is intended to allow the developers time to paper over manifest deficiencies identified in their DAs, while delaying final decisions on these controversial developments until after the March state election. At least this gives us one last political opportunity. In November 2014 the then Liberal planning minister Pru Goward totally ignored community representations and rezoned West Byron for urban development – inserting a slice of Western Sydney into our Local Environment Plan. Two DAs by Site R&D and Villa World for the residential areas were submitted to Council late last year. While Council does all the work and bears legal liability, they are determined by the five-member JRPP. The chair, ex-National Party minister Garry West, and two others are appointed by government, and two by northern regional councils. In a tactical move, before

the JRPP could consider their DA, Site R&D commenced legal proceedings against Council for ‘deemed refusal’. At least this time the community were given a chance at public meetings to let decision-makers know what we think. At the preliminary JRPP meeting in the overflowing Mullumbimby Civic Hall on 19 June, the community left JRPP in no doubt that both developments were fatally flawed and had no social licence.

wĹ•Ĺ?ơ `—”” ĈĹ&#x;Ć–Ĺ?ÄŽ ĂŤÄˆÄˆÄ•ĹźĆ? ĈIJÍŕčĕƆ JRPP then accepted changes to the Site R&D DA a few days before their public meeting of 8 October to decide the DA, despite Council advice that they could not fully assess the changes in time. JRPP blames Council for the decision to accept late changes, though as consent authority only the JRPP could legally accept the changes. At the public meeting the community wasted hours making presentations before the JRPP chair told us it had already decided to defer until Council could fully assess the changes, which would likely not be until next year. We were told the Site R&D DA would therefore likely be decided in the applicant’s appeal to the Land and

Environment Court, due for its first hearing in February, instead of by JRPP. We are again to be sidelined, all our time and effort wasted. Late changes accepted by JRPP were not materially significant, and many had already been addressed by Council, so I am perplexed as to why Council have no intent to complete their review until next year. Given overwhelming community opposition, it was apparent the JRPP would have no option but to refuse the deeply flawed DA. The developer asked for the decision to be deferred, and the submission of late changes appears to have been intended to achieve this.

ÄśĹ&#x;ȒćÍŕŊĜŕč ĹŠÄśĹ?Ĺ?Ĝŕč ĕŕĎÍŕčĕſĕĎ ƹĜĹ?ÄŽĹ?ĜĪÄ• The Villa World DA was scheduled for a determination in November. It is now apparent JRPP have allowed Villa World to go on making changes, forcing Council to again play catch-up as Villa World too try to paper over manifest deficiencies in their DA. Council say that given new information they

will similarly not be able to complete their assessment of the amended Villa World DA until next year. It is not as if the developers are trying to fix the problems, just overcome them; for example Villa World have now obtained bio-banking approval from state and federal governments to exterminate the population of Wallum Sedge Frogs, koala feed trees and all the other threatened species and ecosystems within their development. Our best interests would be served by asking that JRPP stop accepting amendments, asking Council to focus their efforts on fast-tracking their review of the amendments to the Site R&D DA, and getting JRPP to make a determination on it before the end of this year.

Ă?Ĺ&#x;Ć–Ĺż Ć°Ĺ&#x;ÄśÄˆÄ• ĈĹ&#x;Ć–Ĺ•Ć?Ɔ You will need to speak up to force a decision on the Site R&D DA. It is apparent that final decisions on both DAs are unlikely to be made until after the March NSW election. It was the LiberalNational coalition’s rezoning that got us into this mess. It will require approval of the planning minister and likely cost a small fortune in compensation if we want the site rezoned to protect koalas, Wallum sedge frogs, wetlands and Belongil estuary, while reducing its size and impacts on Byron Bay. Rezoning West Byron is a political solution, so you need to make it a state political issue.

The special Margarita Muerte – a spin on the classic Mexican cocktail El Diablo with tequila, lime, creme de violette and activated charcoal.

Dia de los Muertos Dia de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead if you like) is sometimes seen as the Mexican version of Halloween. Actually, it’s rather more complex and stems from an ancient indigenous Mexican belief that at midnight on 31 October the gates of heaven open and the spirits of deceased family members come to enjoy the celebrations for the first two days of November. Local Mexican restaurant Chupacabra is proud to be part of a culture that preserves tradition and honours the legacy of their ancestors, and they invite us to do the same. On Thursday and Friday (1–2 November) Chupacabra will set up a huge ofrenda (Spanish for offering) covered in candles and marigolds to

Space, form, structure, and balance Renowned painter Sylvia McEwan will debut her latest works Making a Mark with an exclusive exhibition at Newrybar Merchants from Friday this week. Making a Mark is a collection of paintings on canvas and paper that reflect her flair for applying layers of colour and texture in exquisite ways, fuelled by her love for the New York School of Abstract Expressionists and, in particular, William De Kooning’s strong figurative work. ‘While the subject matter is important, the true subject is always space, form, structure, and balance,’ McEwan says.

Fleet in Brunswick Heads has again been named best restaurant in regional NSW, scoring two hats in the 2019 Good Food Guide, the same rating it achieved in the last two years. It’s also recognised as the number one regional NSW restaurant by Gourmet Traveller magazine. Paper Daisy at Cabarita also scored two hats in the 2019 Good Food Guide (up on its single hat last year), with a further three in the region each receiving a hat. To receive top honours as NSW’s Best Regional Restaurant in the guide, Fleet received a score of 17.5/20. Just a handful of restaurants in Australia get more: the ‘three-hat’ awards that cut in at 18 were given out to just seven establishments nationwide.

Matt Kemp has brought Byron at Byron its first hat.

However the great depth of excellent dining in the northern rivers was shown by the onehatters this year that were each awarded 15 points. Shelter, Lennox Head Lennox Head’s Shelter, run by owners Andrew Love and Troy Noonan, scored their hat after being open for just 18 months, and were also cited as one of the top 12 Hot New Restaurants in the country. Ideally situated just across from the surf in Pacific Pde, Lennox Head, the restaurant has a relaxed vibe but top-notch food under head chef Dennis Baker.

Shelter at Lennox have scored a hat after only 18 months.

Byron at Byron New executive chef Matt Kemp at Byron at Byron has taken the restaurant, refurbished at the end of last year, up a notch, to secure its first-ever hat. Matt serves up a crafted and continuously evolving menu, with local produce reflecting the changing climate and seasons with Asian, modern Australian and European influences.

series with guest chefs (for example 28 November Zeb Gilbert from Noosa’s Wasabi will be at Harvest). Harvest head chef Alastair Waddell acknowledged the role that committed staff and amazing local producers played in ensuring a consistently remarkable experience for guests. More than 500 restaurants from across the country were reviewed for this year’s Guide, with 264 of these receiving hat status, ranging from one to three. To secure a spot in the Guide, restaurants in New South Wales and Victoria must score at least 14 out of 20, while all other states must score a minimum of 15. Bangalow’s Town made it into the guide but missed out on a hat with a score of 14.5.

‘Madness from the Americas’ at Locura A new Latin-American restaurant called Locura opened last Friday in the old La La Land premises in Byron. The late-night bar will have an ‘epic cocktail list’, a strong focus on music, and chef Franco from Lima (Peru) will be showcasing the food of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Peru until late, including a vegan taco that chef Darren Robertson reckons has ‘nailed it’. The six members of the Three Blue Ducks (Darren Robertson, Andy Allen, Mark LaBrooy, Chris Sorrell, Sam Reid and Jeff Bennett) are behind the bar, which is their fifth venue (Three Blue Ducks at The Farm was their third, and they opened another restaurant in W Hotel in Brisbane four months ago). Four of the six-member team now live in Byron. ‘This is home now for a lot of us,’ said Darren Robertson, who has two young children under four. ‘I spend 95 per cent of my time in Byron, and although I have to go down to Sydney occasionally we are settled in.’ With the new Brisbane restaurant going

well, the opportunity to move in to the premises right in the heart of Byron was too good to pass up, said Darren. The venue has a late-night pedigree, and a pre-existing sound system that has been augmented with a retro horn and amp system called the Klipschorn, a 70-year-old design originally produced to recreate the experience of a live performance as dynamically and vividly as possible. Internationally recognised producer Jono Ma will be behind the music offering. ‘It’s a good place for people to go to carry on later at night,’ said Darren, ‘but

with good service, good food and few drinks. Just like at The Farm, the emphasis will be on sustainable, ethical food and a lot of flavours. ‘Head chef Franco is from Lima [on the coast of Peru], and in combination with Freckle [from Byron Seafood] there will lots of seafood on the menu,’ but there will also be free-range pork, tostados and tacos, with vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes. ‘We are aiming for the very simple but delicious street-food idea; it will be ethical and organic food, using local produce, pasture

10 years of Beers - Stone & Wood It’s been 10 years of beers since the first kegs rolled out of Byron’s local brewery Stone & Wood back in 2008. For the northern rivers independent brewery, they’re excited, but the milestone feels like a drop in the ocean. ‘Compared to breweries in other parts of the world that have been around for hundreds of years, we’re 10 years young!’ said co-owner Brad Rogers. Looking back, head brewer Caolan Vaughn said that the brewery has released experimental brews since the early days, including Beers of the Earth, The Mash Collective series, Stone Beer, The Gatherer and Forefathers but has always been limited by capacity. ‘We’ve released some memorable beers but, until now, our focus has also been on getting enough of it to our thirsty drinkers.’ Stone & Wood is looking forward to ramping up their releases, promising some exciting changes, additions and limited brews in the coming months. But that’s not all… In the coming months, the

brewery will put on their inaugural Backyard Invitational event on 24 November, at what will become their Brisbane Brewery in the new year, and the new Byron Bay Brewery will open its doors by the end of the year. Stone & Wood Brewery Byron Bay project manager Jamie Revell has said, ‘We are excited to be at the pointy end of our brewery build. All of the finer details such as landscaping and timber finishes are now coming to life. The bar and kitchen are both currently being fitted and the last of our brewhouse equipment will move in the coming weeks. We can’t wait to open the doors of our new spiritual home and invite locals and visitors to see how we brew and learn more about

raised and really tasty. We’re making a few different things; we’ll have a bit of fun and see where it goes. ‘Our opening menu will have a really delicious vegan taco. We really wanted someone to enjoy a vegan taco as much as the meat lovers do. I think we’ve nailed it with the flavours on this one,’ said Darren. And that’s not the only unusual item on the menu, with the eclectic cocktail list including Mezcal-based mules with kombucha, and a special take on the classic Mexican favourite Michelada, and homemade Tepache – a fermented pineapple beverage made using the leftover pineapple skins from juicing at The Farm. Award-winning bartender Tim Phillips (Dead Ringer and Bulletin Place in Sydney) will be joining forces with the rest of the Locura team to offer a simple, fun, fresh and flavoursome drinks menu to complement the food menu.

Earthling rights

by Eve Jeffery

As the number of plant-based eaters increases exponentially, it’s becoming apparent that a vegan lifestyle is not just a passing fashion or a fad diet.

Fortunately, being a vegan in 2018 is much easier than it once was – most eateries will cater to the diet, all supermarkets stock vegan items and many retail outlets are now fully vegan.

Across the globe humans are realising they are just one of Earth’s species and that all animals are equal, and as such, deserve equal rights. Earthling rights.

Herbidoor Herbidoor has been delivering delicious fresh plant-based comfort foods to your doorstep for the last six months. Each week he collects ingredients supporting our local farming area before transforming them into his yummy weekly menu items. Currently, Herbi delivers from Lismore to Ballina and up to Tweed on Tuesdays and also the GC on Mondays. Brisbane, Ipswich and Sunshine Coasts will be receiving their first deliveries midNovember. None of this would have happened without your ongoing support and, as a thankyou gift to you all, the Herbster is giving everyone $20 off their next order. Visit herbidoor.com and use the discount code ECHO at checkout. The menu changes weekly and orders close each week on Wednesday at 8pm for the following week’s deliveries. Herbi is looking forward to seeing you enjoy his delicious noms. 0404 733 999

So, if ever there was an interest to try veganism – even for a week, even for a day, World Vegan Day – the time is now!

Distinct from vegetarianism – the practice of abstaining from eating flesh – veganism is the choice to abstain from the exploitation of all animals, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. This includes the idea that cow and other animal breast milk is for their babies, honey is for the enrichment of the hive and wool is to keep sheep warm.

Vegan delicacies

A Touch of Vegan Spice!

@TattooedByronVegan

Billi Indian is one of the area’s much-loved Indian restaurants offering a fantastic menu of delicious Indian cuisine suitable for the whole family. They can cater for vegan diners with a range of dishes that can be adapted to suit anyone who follows a plant-based diet and lifestyle. Their diverse menu makes Billi Indian the perfect dining choice for groups of friends or families with mixed dietary requirements.

The Court House Hotel

The spice levels can be adjusted to suit all tastebuds as well so you can go as hot or as mild as you like.

Did you know the Court House Hotel in Mullumbimby offers vegan options on its menu? The locally owned and family-run restaurant is now serving weekly vegan specials such as sweet potato and lentil curry with coconut yoghurt raita. You can also try their menu favourites, the vegan poke bowl or roasted beetroot and hemp seed salad, both packed with wholesome and locally sourced ingredients.

And if you want to take the Billi Indian experience home with you, local delivery and takeaway options are also available.

Stop by for lunch or dinner seven days a week and choose from a selection of classic pub food, signature dishes and dietary-specific meals.

No Bones Tahlia is 27, born and bred in Byron Bay. Yasmina is 29, French/English, with extensive experience in Michelin restaurants around Paris and London. Tahlia had always loved the idea of opening a vegan restaurant and when the two met it seemed like the perfect time and company. They immediately understood each other and their experience and passions lined up to create No Bones. No Bones is a plant-powered restaurant on a mission to leave the world a better place for future generations. It goes without saying they are super sustainable, always striving to minimise their footprint. They are about big flavours without the animal involvement. When most people hear the word vegan they think raw veggies, lentils and chickpeas. No Bones want to change that. Think mouth watering Peking Duck Pancakes, their famous calamari and the best Mac ‘n’ Cheese you’ve ever had. No Bones is a space for vegans and meat eaters to come together over beers and cocktails. They are part of a plant-based movement and invite you to join them on their expedition to save the Earth one Brussel sprout at a time.

SOL SOL’s range has a strong emphasis on wholefood ingredients, using only Certified Organic stoneground flours and natural fermentation techniques. They don’t use any chemicals or other additives or agents and they certainly don’t encourage farming techniques that degrade the environment. All SOL breads are vegan, with the exception of the paleo loaves. The SOL Breads journey has been a labour of love, sweat, and at times tears for Suzanne and Mark, but at no stage over the last nine years have they lost sight of the original ideals and processes, and today they can lay claim to being one of the very few truly artisan bakeries who are Certified Organic in Australia. It all started in humble beginnings at the original Newrybar Bakery (which is now Harvest). Follow them on Instagram @solbreadsbyronbay or call 6680 8049 if you have any questions or suggestions.

Why certified organics? While many products may claim to be ‘pure’, ‘natural’ or ‘organic’, the only way you can be assured that you are purchasing real organic products produced without

the use of synthetic chemicals and GMOs is to purchase products which have been organically certified with a leading independent certifying body such as OFC.

To become certified organic, SOL Breads have been audited from paddock to plate to comply with strict organic standards. (OFC accreditation #0475)

Buying in the current market Often the last people to realise that a market is plateauing or falling are those selling their property. As a buyer, however, nobody wants to pay more than they have to to secure their new property. Here are some tips to help you buy in a softening market.

The easiest way to find out your spending capacity is to speak to your mortgage broker, who can research your borrowing power. This is the amount a lender may be willing to let you borrow, given your personal financial circumstances. This is vitally important if you are buying at an auction. Once you’ve bought ‘under the hammer’, if you renege

Look at the most recent sales. Hopefully the figure will show if prices have plateaued or have come back a little. Look at the asking price, consider how long the property has been on the market, and calculate what is a fair offer to make based on the facts.

you lose the deposit. You can exchange a contract for a private treaty sale with a subject-to-finance clause; however, this does not put you in a strong negotiating position.

ǪȂ lëŊĕ ƆƖſĕ ƷşƖſ Ǖ ŕëŕĈĕƆ ëſĕ īşşĎ Ɛş īşȂ Obtaining a pre-approval from your lender gives you that peace of mind and it gives you an advantage over buyers who don’t have their finance in order. (Pre-approval is an indication from a lender that you qualify for a home loan up to a certain limit.)

ǫȂ PŕĪşſŔëƐĶşŕ ĶƆ żşƱĕſȂ Try to find out as much as

you can about everything to do with property. If you can find out the motivations behind the vendor’s selling you might be able to use this to your advantage. You might be able to put some conditions into your offer that suit the vendor, like

longer settlement, larger cash deposit etc. You could ask the agent if there are any conditions that might encourage the vendor to accept your offer.

buying a home. It is perhaps a little easier with investment properties; however, some purchasers still struggle with this. This is when knowing your limit, and all the homework you have done come into play. If the vendor isn’t willing to meet what you honestly think is a fair and reasonable offer for the property then walk away from the negotiation. You never you they may come back but in the meantime you could have found the perfect property down the road. The most important thing in any negotiation is to be respectful. Offering a price that is so below the market is an insult and can cause a vendor to refuse any subsequent offer because they are offended and because they can! Fair is always best.

On your first solo release, the critically acclaimed The Change I’m Seeking, you included songs with some real messages about some of the big issues of our time. Yup. I feel like there is so much happening in the world, so many things that people need to be passionate about. I feel blessed to be a part of a global collective of musicians, activists and artists with a similar intention. I feel like we all do our part and are all calling attention to things we feel passionately drawn to. Working together, we paint a bigger and broader picture, and support each other and our communities in turn. These are obviously ideas you were feeling for many years. Did you have a plan to draw these bigger issues into your music? Or did it happen spontaneously all of a sudden one day? It was a natural, organic growth. The more I made music that had a purpose, that meant something, the more people listened, and the more it inspired and continues to inspire me to do more. In the end, we are only just vessels for the most powerful and inspiring messages. To interpret them so eloquently and perfectly I don’t think is a capability we have without the guidance of a higher power channeled through our spirits. My path has been laid out for me, and music has been its main guiding and driving force. Sometimes I feel as if I’m powerless to affect the outcome, and I just go where it takes me. It’s been a long and arduous journey, but I’ve seen so much healing and reconnection along the way. Your song Earthlings makes your stance very clear. What does veganism mean to you? The main reason I’m vegan is, first and foremost, because I stand against the inhumane torture and murder of innocent creatures. I feel that if we have the option to avoid killing why would we not? The only answers to that question involve pure selfishness and ignorance. The beautiful by-products of this stance as well are a massively decreased impact on our environment and better personal health. So, being vegan is more than just a dietary choice for most; it’s a lifestyle choice, fuelled by compassion, empathy and foresight. There is a growing international movement towards veganism. What do you think is driving that? I think naturally people are waking up to the things I talked about. People are talking, more and more, globally. One of the greatest things about the internet is that people have the ability to share their views worldwide. We no longer are confined to receiving news and policy from governmental sources, and

LOTS OF LOVE FOR MULLUM MUSIC FEST MEET MIKE LOVE, EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE CONSCIOUS ROOTSREGGAE ARTIST. BORN AND RAISED ON THE ISLAND OF O’AHU IN HAWAI’I, LOVE IS INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE OF HIS ISLAND HOME. SPIRITUALLY GROUNDED IN NATURE AND ARTISTICALLY INSPIRED BY HIS COMPOSER FATHER AND GRANDFATHER, MIKE’S MUSICAL INSTINCTS WERE SHAPED ALMOST BEFORE HE COULD SPEAK. thus things like the truth about the animal agriculture industry and its barbaric practices and ecologically devastating effects are much harder to suppress. People are speaking the truth and, given the state of things, are more than ready to listen and start doing something about it! Are your instruments vegan? I’m thinking in particular of drum skins etc? Well, the only drum that Sam uses that would traditionally be skinned with animal hide are his bongos, but he uses synthetic heads as he is also vegan. I use only vinyl guitar straps and synthetic nut and saddle materials on my guitars, and even the inlays I’ve had done don’t use abalone. Being vegan makes you also consider materials used in the making of your clothes and everything you use. I know we could get into the human rights of everything we use as well, as so many products are created overseas using child labour, or unfair labour with little to no wages. I try my best to buy local and know where the things I use come from, and it’s a very slippery slope. One of the major powers we have in this economic world is how we spend our money. The only way corporate empires succeed is if we keep funding them. You’ve been known to say that music has a healing power that comes from a higher place. Can you tell us more about what you mean by this?

It’s something anyone can open themselves up to. It can be incredibly hard to push your ego to the side and just let something come through for the sake of everyone, and even harder to avoid the temptation to take credit for it afterwards, but if you can succeed at that, and be a part of something so pure, the effects are astounding. The feeling of connection, togetherness, and unconditional love at our shows is something to behold. I feel blessed to be a part of it and bear witness to it. It’s not something I ever envisioned or imagined, but I’m so grateful for it. You’ve recently formed a ‘super group’ comprising handpicked musicians from your band’s different manifestations. What prompted this move? It was yet another organically grown organism. I came from a place where I was the head of a ten-piece band, and it just got to be too much. It was a great family, but it just wasn’t working right musically. I stripped it all away and started from scratch, playing solo for a couple of years. It was something I had never thought of, but at the urging of my wife I tried it and realised it was just what I needed. It was a crucial realisation for me that, for a song to really work, it has to work on every level, totally stripped down or totally arranged and orchestrated. From there I slowly rebuilt a band using complex criteria I had developed over many years of working with

many different kinds of musicians. The thing that makes my band work so well now is that we inspire each other spiritually and energetically as much as we do musically. I call this band The Full Circle because of these many meanings. Where are you looking to go with this new incarnation of your band? The beautiful thing about it is that it’s always going somewhere on its own! With every note we become closer and our hearts, rhythms, and melodies intertwine. Being in a band, a real band, is like that. You become one heart, one mind, and the communication becomes telepathic. It’s the best, such an incredible feeling. I see no limit to where this band can go. You’re coming up to play the Mullum Music Festival. What can your northern NSW fans up here expect from your gig? This music is ever changing. Every show is different, especially because we depend so heavily on the connection and the energy of the crowd. We’ll be playing some new stuff and, of course, some of the tunes our fans are expecting to hear. The last time we were in the Shire it was out of this world and I know you guys won’t disappoint me this time either! Mike Love will be performing in a duo format at the Mullumbimby Music Festival, 15–18 November. For tickets and program information go to mullummusicfestival.com.

HOW BOTOX IS KILLING YOUR ORGASM!

Apparently the Big B is destroying the Big O. Yep, a new study from the University of Cardiff has found that women who use Botox are less likely to reach or experience an orgasm to their fullest satisfaction! And no, it’s not because the paralysing toxin has travelled from your forehead to your G spot. It’s not accumulating in your clit. Your pussy hasn’t gone all Pompeii. It’s because reaching orgasm isn’t just about your genitals, girls, it’s about how much face you put in. That’s right, if you want to come with reckless abandon then you have to be able to experience the full movement of your face! You need to be able to pull off a pretty impressive open-mouthed, arched-eyebrow, squintyeyed ‘reckless abandon’ face. Don’t believe me? Okay, so let’s try a little experiment. I would like all the ladies reading this to excuse themselves and retire for a little private time in front of a mirror (at home, not a public bathroom). In the interests of science, not smut, I’d like you to bring yourself to orgasm while watching your face. For science. If you like you can download a nude pic of Dr Karl to make it more sexy sciencey. Now in any experiment it’s important to have a ‘control’ – which means in order for us to minimise the effects of variables other than the independent variable we need you to masturbate twice. We need a control of your losing control. Just go for it. As you start to climb towards climax have a look at your face. I want you to really notice how much face you put into your orgasms. What’s happening ON your head is apparently in direct correlation to what’s happening IN your head. And in your pants. I would suggest a video but I fear the whole ‘I was doing if for science’ story might not wash when you accidentally post it on Facebook. Okay. Give yourself a few moments for a reset. (Yes, we can do that.) And go again. Have a cup of tea, refresh that pic of Karl and let your fingers do the walking. This time you need to try to keep your face frozen. Having an expressionless orgasm is a bit like trying to sneeze with your eyes open. It’s pretty well impossible. Or at least a lot less enjoyable. A full facially active orgasm is a lot more powerful than a facially inactive one. You might want to try this experiment a few more times just to make sure you achieved the most accurate results. Maybe try it in bed with your partner. I did last night with my husband. I said, ‘Tonight I am going to just try and have sex with no expression’. I’m not sure if it worked or not because I fell asleep. This is an urgent public health message! Women need to know that botox might stop wrinkles but it could also stop toe-curling, mind-altering, nail-biting episodes of absolute ecstasy. Researchers believe there is a direct link between facial expression and your ability to enjoy an orgasm because there are links between your brain’s predicating your mood based on your facial expressions. If you want to come you need some forehead action. If you have had heaps of botox in your head and you can’t move your face then your brain will think you aren’t having fun which will lead to you feeling numb upstairs AND downstairs. Maybe you’ll still climax but instead of busting the dial out on an 11 or having a late-afternoon session where you crank out a glass-shattering 13, you’ll be fumbling around for an eon flicking the bean for a very passive two or three. More like channel surfing than riding the big wave home. Botox could be taking the O O O out of your sex life. How can that be worth it? It’s just another reason to say No to Botox and Yes Yes Yes to wrinkles. I’ll make peace with my laugh lines, and my frown lines as long as I get to keep my come lines. Anyway, turning the light off is better than any Botox – one flick of the switch and I’m 21 again. And again. And again.

Also on deck is Cunning Stunts resident DJs Lord Sut & Dale Stephen, who will be manually driving dancers into transformative turns as they rev things up with their incredible skills and long lasting beats curated to shift us all into a positive state. Closing set is by DJ Phil Smart, celebrating his 30 years in the industry at the 30th Nudge Nudge Wink Wink! To ensure you get advance notification of ticket sales, sign up to their e-newsletter here – www.cunningstunts. com.au/subscribe/. Grab a ticket to the party this weekend.

MORE FALLS Like a cold ice-cream on a perfect summer day, Falls Festival are sprinkling a little sugar on their already sweet 2018 / 2019 lineup, scattering 100s and 1000s and popping a Flake into the party with the announcement of new national and international drawcards! Joining the travelling road show at all Falls stops will be buzzing Chicago-based rapper Juice WRLD with his massive tune Lucid Dreams and fresh album WRLD On Drugs, which dropped last Friday! Grime kingpin Dizzee Rascal with hits Dance Wiv Me, Bonkers and Holiday and former MS MR frontwoman and transformative pop genius LPX. Electro legends Cut Copy will light up dancefloors on east coast shows only.

TRIBUTE TO FARNSY Mike Vee has an uncanny resemblance to John Farnham, the tone of his voice and his outgoing nature are so much like the real thing that people often ask him ‘Are you related?’ – a comment that is humbling to Mike, but at the same time grants recognition and credit to his own performance. With Whispering Jack, Mike took the advice of his singing coach Lindsay Field and added his own interpretation to a lot of the material, so that instead of just comparing the two versions, people actually get a chance to acknowledge Mike’s own true ability as one of Australia’s finest voices. He is at the Ballina RSL on Saturday at 8pm. Tix $20 at the club or www.ballinarsl.com.au.

10 TOP PICKS FOR MULLUM MUSIC… VOTE ÁINE TYRRELL FOR FALLS

Áine, why did you move to Mullumbimby and why do you now find this place home? On my first tour through the northern rivers I felt a deep sense of place and respect for the land in this area that I hadn’t felt in many other parts of Australia. The diversity of the area, the activism of the community to protect everything that is special about this area, and the forward thinking of so many in this area are even reflected in the everyday conversations in coffee shops. That sense of connection to land is something I had really missed when I moved from Ireland. The land and culture of my home in the Burren in County Clare is so very much part of my identity and being welcomed into a community where the traditional landowners are respected and where the traditional landowners also welcome newcomers to make this place home was something I was drawn to. Australia made more sense when I moved here. I just released a song on this very thought called In This House. The song was partly inspired by a conversation I had with my dear friend and Arakwal custodian, Delta Kay, where we discussed the deeper layers of a Welcome to Country. The conversation touched me deeply me as another woman from a country that suffered so much at the hands of colonialism. I don’t even feel like the song is mine. It feels like it came through me as a message from my ancestors and hers, which is why I asked Delta and The Bunyarra Dancers to dance in the video for the song. The song wrote itself likening a Welcome to Country to a knocking on a door, a waiting for an invitation into someone’s house. The video evolved in the same way and naturally just became this ceremony where we created a beautiful piece of art from different colour dirts from the northern rivers. Other parts of Australia I have lived in never felt like a knock was acknowledged, the land not celebrated, whereas in the northern rivers community it feels like a community that would knock first and that is a community I want to raise my children in.

COOLCHACHACHA WOMEN LIKE US RAISE MONEY FOR BURRINGBAR PRIMARY! Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs are the comedic superstars behind the successful touring show Women Like Us and they’re coming to the Victory Hotel in Mooball for a fundraiser for the Burringbar Primary School. With seven kids between them, and more stories than a Liberal Party leadership challenge, Mandy and Ellen are smalltown girls who know how to make a big noise. They have taken the raw power of their solo standup and combined forces to create not one but two hours of rapid-fire standup, delivering laughs every 15 seconds. It’s relentless, and show after show audience members continue to be amazed that the two can not only keep the pace, they build throughout the night, bringing audiences to their feet cheering for more. Women Like Us is standup at its best, where Ellen and Mandy talk about housework, chickens, love, big undies, disappointment, resentment, sex when you’re drunk, fit bits, yoga farts and being a menopausal woman dealing with teenage angst. They’re overworked, overweight and over it. They head to The Victory in Mooball on Saturday. Doors 6.30pm. Show. 8pm. Curries available. Tix are $35 online at womenlikeus. com.au or at the pub.

A SHOW FOR ALL SEASONS

WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS THE GOOD ROOM

MY URRWAI BY GHENOA GELA

I performed in NORPA’s first-ever show. It was also their first touring show. It would have been over 25 years ago and the whole concept of a regional theatre company that toured its own work as well as curated a program for regional theatre lovers that kept everyone in the cultural curve was the brainchild of Lyndon Terracini, an unconventional director who now sits at the helm of the Australian Opera. For well over a decade Julian Louis has been the artistic director, and he’s certainly broadened the program to create what is heralded as one of the most exciting regional performing arts companies in Australia. But great shows don’t happen by accident. They happen because of great programming and audience engagement. NORPA have just released their 2019 program and tickets for all the shows are now on sale – offering a 20 per cent discount for subscription packages of three shows or more! Many shows do sell out so make sure you jump in early. So what is in store? To find out more or to buy tickets/ season tickets go to norpa.org.au.

Based on 800 anonymous love stories submitted by the public, I Want to Know What Love Is throws a sp totlight on longburied memories, bedroom fantasies, crushes and conquests as secret confessions are transformed into magnificent declarations centre stage.

My Urrwai is a revealing reflection on and celebration of cultural and familial inheritance, and an unflinching comment on race relations in Australia.

This year the Hot 100 featured more latin songs than ever before. And it’s just going to keep climbing. It’s because the music is produced for a global ear, it’s language-agnostic and it’s danceable. It goes to our feet instead of our head and it’s driving people to the dancefloor in droves. I have a friend who found latin and now he won’t stop moving. So for those of you who already love latin, and those who are yet to engage, this weekend is the 13th Annual Byron Latin Fiesta. Running Thursday–Sunday with workshops and parties with international, national and local instructors and some incredible performers. Festival director Sky Blue has cleverly crafted an event that caters for beginners and seasoned dancers so that everyone gets something! Although the latin craze is a countrywide phenomenon, the Byron Latin Fiesta is one of the longest-running and

REVIEWS

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

STARS

BEAUTIFUL BOY Is drug addiction a disease? Or are some people simply incapable of dealing with dayto-day reality? Belgian director Felix Van Groeningen refrains from making any judgment as he enters a psychological and emotional landscape similar to that of his stunning The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012). In this tender, morally complex movie, he chooses to focus equally on the damage done to the non-user, a father who can only watch helplessly as crystal meth takes hold of his adored son’s life. David Sheff (Steve Carell) has raised Nic (Timothée Hal Chalamet) in a loving household in which he has wanted for nothing. Like most teenagers, Nic turns on with pot and shares

BY LILITH

a joint with his dad, but soon graduates to the more ruinous ice – and without wanting to carp, apart from his hair getting messier, Nic never exhibits the physical ravages brought on by the drug. Beside himself with anxiety, David goes so far as to do a line of meth to gain an insight into what it is doing to his beautiful boy. Nic’s behaviour becomes erratic and deceitful, and his reaction to a girl’s overdose reveals a cold detachment that is horribly typical of the junkie. The slow realisation by David that he is fighting a losing battle builds on the heavy portent that prevails throughout and if the story’s numerous time-jumps are sometimes confusing,

they do add to the sense of disruption and disorder that David is hoping to counter. Always good as ‘everyman’, Carell perfectly portrays a man on the edge of quiet despair – ‘What’s wrong with reality?’ he asks in frustration – while Chalamet’s Nic is both needy and resentful. The film’s title is from the song by John Lennon that David sings to

his son, which also contains the fatalistic line of ‘Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans’. The soundtrack in general is profoundly influential, and includes an excerpt from Górecki’s maudlin Symphony No. 3 that gives to Nic more sympathy than some might think he deserves.

even more so had not the flickering of phones being activated for Facebook and Snapchat checks diminished their effect – but that’s the airhead nature of the movie’s target audience. Serial murderer Michael Myers escapes from custody and heads for the town where he first enacted his killing spree. No sooner is he at large than bodies start splattering the screen – among them a young female journo whom I was disappointed to see get throttled. There is neither rhyme nor reason

to his rampage – he just stabs, strangles or bashes to death anybody who crosses his path. Laurie, obsessed with revenge, is prepared for him, but her estranged daughter (Judy Greer)

and grand-daughter (Andi Matichak) are not. All of the action takes place on the night of 31 October, as Myers leaves a trail of blood and gore around Haddonfield. There is a surprise ‘Stockholm syndrome’ incident that threw me entirely, but like so much of the writing it comes to nothing and leaves you wondering if the script was just made up as they went along (one of the sheriffs disappears with no explanation). A couple of times I had to turn my head, unable to stomach violence so graphic, and you can suss out too early who the survivors of the carnage will be. Because Hollywood is like a dog with a bone when it comes to any profit guaranteed at the box office, the last scene is inconclusive, but it’s hard to get excited about Myers making a comeback.

HALLOWEEN John Carpenter’s original Halloween (1978) is regarded as a masterpiece by aficionados of the horror genre (let’s not quibble over the superlative – hyperbole is the norm these days). With Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode, a survivor of that massacre-fest, and Carpenter involved as an executive producer, this latest sequel was always going to attract a lot of attention, much of it favourable. To give credit where it’s due, there are genuinely scary moments, and they might have been

VENUS IN THE SIGN OF CHARM AND HARMONY WHILE FORTHRIGHT MERCURY’S IN FOOT-AND-MOUTH MODE PROMISES INTERESTING INTERACTIONS THIS WEEK…

ARIES: Venus spending a month in Libra, opposite sign on the zodiac wheel and your partnership zone, spotlights the Aries approach to friendship and partnering up. Habit patterns become clearer during this valuable time for cleaning up your act of unsuitable connections, making more time and energy available for beneficial ones. TAURUS: Don’t be fooled by the dramatics: this week values stability and reliability. Your prima planet Venus supports sprucing up health initiatives and resolutions you haven’t got around to yet. And whether to speak up or keep the peace? Only you know which is more important to you right now. GEMINI: While Mercury’s placement has your mind focused and your decision-making abilities peaking, don’t fritter away this fabulous mental energy on tweets and reruns. Because Venus going back over old ground is giving you another shot at something that didn’t achieve lift-off first time around and now has a better chance. CANCER: Venus retrograde transits usually give lingering relationship issues another chance for resolution – something well worth sorting before the season of unreason hits. And isn’t it time for more of that mischievous Cancerian playfulness in your life? In the midst of having fun, a sudden brilliant idea could go viral this week. LEO: With outsize emotions running amok, constructive selfquestioning gets a big Yes this week. Clear your thoughts of the past, and don’t be too proud to say out loud how you’re feeling. Remember in the midst of things going wrong that being grateful for what is going right invites in more of the same. VIRGO: With your personal planet Mercury rollicking into Sagittarius it’s time to get out there, promote yourself, invite the wild side of Virgo for a ride. Venus in your house of stylish indulgence wants to splurge and why not – though leave makeovers till after midmonth when Venus is out of retrograde.

LIBRA: Venus in your sign is excellent for rejigging business contracts and smartening up partnership agreements. While she’s retrograde, it’s worthwhile reinvestigating something you love that’s been neglected or left unattended – something that with a style-up and a little love might also bring in a few extra dollars. SCORPIO: You won’t be thinking small this week. But share that brilliant big-picture idea in increments so you don’t overload others before they’ve had a chance to get onboard. You know this could be a winner. Look for the signs and signals, cues and clues for when you’re on – and off – track. SAGITTARIUS: What we don’t know can hurt us – and others. So are you ready to open Pandora’s box this week? As if anyone could stop you… Time to let go grudges and behaviours past their expiry date, bidding them a graceful and grateful adieu before Jupiter zooms into Sagittarius next week. CAPRICORN: Loyalty, reliability, determination: this week has them. Along with their flipside of betrayal, mind changing and indecision… ah, the rich tapestry of life. In this transit of the chatterbox it pays to keep messages positive, so if you’re not sure whether to say or post something, better to play it safe. AQUARIUS: Contrarian Aquarians will enjoy Venus retrograde in their house of freedom, travel, and humour. As this week brings a lighter heart and sense of liberation, your mind’s in overdrive and your unique abilities in demand – though do try not to insert that thing at the end of your leg into the oral orifice. PISCES: Just as an existential exercise, try leaning into rather than away from this week’s rebellious personalities and surging oceans of emotion. Not judging or trying to fix anything, just listening. It’s surprising how much a calm presence can achieve, and how helpful it is in your own love or money discussions.

Twenty-eight teams from across Australia competed in the fifth running of the AFL9s Byron Bay Invitational last weekend at the Cavanbah Centre. Friday saw the Masters Max and Masters Mellow teams from South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Queensland start their campaigns while the six mixed teams played on Saturday only. This year it was the Super Kings Max who collected $4,000 in prizemoney by winning the Masters Max category ahead of Southern Comfort, which featured Stevie ‘J’ Johnson. The Pittwater Phantoms made it back-to-back wins

when they collected $2,000 for their triumph in the Masters Mellow series, while the All State Tigers also made it a double when they again won the Mixed Max and went home with $4,000. Organisers said it was the best AFL9s to date with plenty of after game entertainment, ice baths and massage therapists when required. AFL 9s is the social form of the game and is a fast, freeflowing contest that involves nine players on each team playing on a smaller field. It uses touch rules with no tackling or bumping, making it suitable for people of any age or skill level.

Rams undefeated and top of the SYL

Sue McCaughtrie after her 2km swim that helped the team to second place at Coolangatta. Photo Wendy Carey The Brunswick SLSC’s 190-year-plus mixed team has collected second place after taking on Australiawide competition at Surf Life Saving Australia’s Coolangatta Gold. The race began hard and fast, and at the end of the first stage (10km surf ski) Peter Madden was coming fourth. Sue McCaughtrie swam hard for 2km in the second leg, while Paul Davis picked up a couple of places in the 3km board paddle before Grant Carey finished strongly

for the team in the 5.5km beach run. ‘All the team’s hard training has paid off in coming second in a field of Australia’s best Surf Life Savers,’ Brunswick SLSC Guy Knox said. The annual Coolangatta Gold included over 100 clubs and 500 competitors from around Australia. Brunswick SLSC’s Phil Parker also had a good day after finishing in the top ten in his age category in his first appearance in the individual course.

Lennox longboarders win all-girl contest

Strong running from the Rams kept Mullumbimby on the back foot in last Friday’s match. Photo Dogwhistle Byron Bay have opened up a three-point gap at the top of the table and kept their undefeated record intact after beating Mullumbimby 2–0 in the third round of the of the Summer Youth League last Friday. Two goals from 15-yearold Zahi Addis made it three wins out of three to open the season for the Byron side. Having defeated fellow competition heavyweights Lismore Thistles in a midweek match, Byron Bay went into Friday’s match knowing a win against their local rivals would put them clear at the top of the ladder. It didn’t take long for the Rams to find their groove with a mixture of passing

combinations, impressive runs and a high-pressure defence causing Mullumbimby no shortage of problems. Yet while Byron Bay were able to create several scoring chances, they were unable to capitalise and looked to be heading into the sheds locked at 0–0 before Addis made his mark in the shadows of halftime. Hard-working Mullumbimby were unable to wrestle back control in the second half, and ended up conceding another. The Rams’ next game is at home against South Lismore. Action from 7pm at the Recreational Grounds in Byron.
