Town about to get tuneful

Raising the roof Councillors push to raise height limits in Byron’s CBD Hans Lovejoy Has a longheld desire by residents to maintain a three-storey CBD height limit in Byron Bay been ignored by councillors? At the September 20 meeting, a bloc of Greens and Labor councillors overturned a previous 2010 Greens policy of limiting development in the southern area of Jonson Street to 9m. A motion by Cr Paul Spooner was supported to standardise the town’s height limit at 11.5m, which The Echo understands can accommodate four storeys. Other parts of Byron’s CBD had 9m limits. Crs Richardson, Spooner, Hunter, Martin, Ndiaye and Hackett voted in favour of the motion, while Cr Cameron voted against. Crs Lyon and Coorey were not present for the vote. Council’s request to the state government is yet to be determined, say staff, with exhibition of the planning proposal to follow if approved. Yet Greens mayor Simon Richardson and Cr Paul Spooner (Labor) have defended their vote on raising height limits in Byron’s CBD, which could see 11.5m high developments down to the end of Jonson Street. Cr Richardson told The Echo, ‘11.5m is the current [height restriction] for the overwhelming amount of the CBD [other areas are 9m], and hasn’t allowed for four storeys, thus it is not the height limit that has done so, but the unique lay of the land in this instance.’ And the mayor dismissed claims by the Byron Residents Group

Byron Shire Council Notices ▶ p8

as ‘simply scaremongering and untrue,’ that a massive proposal on the corner of Jonson and Browning Streets will set a precedent of ‘allowing an increase to four storeys all along Jonson Street.’ A contentious mixed residential/ commercial proposal, headed by Graham Dunn, was determined Wednesday (today) by the JRPP and came with requests to exceed height limits and floorspace ratios.

Mayor plays down massive development The mayor said of the development, ‘This is unique for the CBD and won’t lead to any rush on four storeys.’ ‘If four storeys were possible or easy, they would have occurred over the last 20 or more years of 11.5m height limits.’ But remarkably he agreed that his support to increase the height limit ‘may well result in an increased yield and profit’ for the developer. The mayor and Cr Spooner deny meeting Dunn or his associates prior to the motion being voted upon. Yet the mayor defended the large-scale development, saying that ‘The building is also not 12.5m [as claimed by the residents group], but rather the overwhelming majority is on or under 11.5m, with only two lift shafts being higher – to a highest point of 12.2m.’ The mayor added, ‘I will be speaking at the JRPP against the proposal and its height exceedance.’ ▶ Continued on page 2

The buzz is building for the eleventh Mullum Music Festival, to be held this coming weekend. Held throughout the town’s venues and streets, the festival has grown to include two new venues – The Byron School of Art and the Council Chambers – for comedy! So how are rehearsals going for Sunday’s big street parade? ‘Brilliantly!’ says festival director Glenn Wright. ‘There are more people involved than ever – who knew that the town had so many horn players?’ Pictured are performers Sara Tindley and Ash Bell.

Jonson St development would ‘tower’ over guesthouse Chris Dobney By the time you read this, the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) will have decided, or deferred, approval of a $21m, four-storey residential and commercial development at the southern end of Jonson Street. Yet adjoining residents say it would ‘tower’ over their properties with balconies that would ‘peer’ into their backyards. Council has endorsed the development application, even though a council planning proposal to raise the height limits has yet to be

approved by the state government (see adjacent story). The Echo understands any JRPP approval of the DA would effectively pre-empt it – the current height limit for that end of Jonson Street is nine metres. But Peter O’Connor, proprietor of The Palms Guesthouse, told The Echo that even the developers admit that because of the slope of the land, the building will be 12.2m high at the point where it would abut Ruskin Lane. Mr O’Connor says his property and another at 1 Ruskin Lane are

in a ‘development squeeze’ that ‘threatens our residential amenity, our recurrent financial position and the capital values of our properties’.

mş ǖ şşſƆżëĈĕ ſëƐĶş ōĶŔĶƐ ‘This has occurred basically because Council’s new height controls for Jonson Street to replace the LEP clears the way for a very intense DA, up to 13.5m high and with no floorspace ratio limit, to be considered and approved by its officers alone and seemingly allowing the conversion of Ruskin Lane into a commercial thoroughfare.’

More than 1,200 spectators poured into Shearwater last week to witness the colour, energy and remarkable creativity on show at this year’s Wearable Arts performance event, Homecoming: Labyrinth of Twists and Turns. The annual event involved more than 200 students and showcased 86 competition garments made by the Mullumbimby Steiner school’s students, staff and the wider community, who shared in almost $8,000 in prizemoney. One of the judges at the event, Richard Weakley, said the calibre of costumes this year set a new benchmark. ‘A dizzying parade of style and skill had us scrutinising small details to try to set the entrants apart from one another, such was the craftsmanship and creativity on display.’

Councillors push to raise height limits in Byron’s CBD ▶ Continued from page 1

Cr Spooner replies Meanwhile Cr Spooner told The Echo the proposed changes to CBD height limits ‘Were not about an individual DA’, when asked whether he agreed that it would benefit Dunn’s largescale proposal. ‘The completion of the bypass will be a game changer for that end of Jonson Street. ‘Without this new height limit, we will not be enabling shop-top residential as an economic possibility in this section of Jonson Street. And that’s built into this proposal for the rest of this zone. By limiting it to 9m we will be getting rid of residential housing while encouraging

more hotel-style accommodation. That’s not a brilliant outcome for the town centre.’ When asked if Cr Spooner believed the Jonson/ Browning Street proposal an appropriate development, he replied, ‘I have no particular opinion on this development as it has not come before Council for determination.’

Community process Underpinning councillors’ decision to standardise the height limit at 11.5m appears to be a ‘community engagement panel’, where zoning, building heights, design excellence and parking were all discussed by around 60 attendees. Councillors resolved to conduct the meetings on November 17 last year.

Yet there ‘was no real consensus around’ the 11.5m limit by attendees, staff said in their report. According to staff, those attendees included, ‘Business owners and managers, land owners, real estate agents, architects, urban designers, residents, solicitors, developers and councillors from both Byron Shire and Tweed Heads… The Arakwal staff and board and the Byron Bay Guidance group were also engaged via individual meetings.’ Staff said, ‘The Town Centre Masterplan showed strong support for maintaining a three-storey height limit in the town centre.’ ‘Councils are not able to establish building height limits within an LEP based on the number of storeys.’

So given that, ‘participants were asked to consider what the maximum building height in metres should be… There was no real consensus around this,’ they concluded. Council’s Shannon Burt told The Echo, ‘Council resolution differs from staff report recommendation for southern end of Jonson Street.’ ‘The height of buildings is specifically defined in the LEP and pertains to natural ground level and maximum height above. As a result, the design of a building in response to a site’s topography can result in a storey variation. The number of storeys and ceiling heights within a building are not able to be mandated within an Local Environment Plan (LEP) the same way that height of buildings is.’

The long-running proposal has seen fierce resistance from many locals, with concerns ranging from environmental destruction to increased traffic. Previously staff said there

were around 5,000 submissions, largely against.

Three in favour When asked to update on the exact number, staff told The Echo, ‘There were a large number of submissions being processed by Council staff at the end of the exhibition period and initial estimates were that there were more than 5,000

submissions.’ ‘After all submissions were counted, and multiple submissions taken into account (ie some people provided electronic and written submissions), the final number was 4,633; 4,630 were opposed to the West Byron development applications.’ Staff previously stated it was the highest number of submissions ever recieved.

‘We have a toy shop and 50 per cent of our sales go to WIRES, a quarter for me, a quarter for my brother, and Mum gave us a small-business loan of $10 for the stall.’ Ashley Ferguson, 20 years old, also held a stall called Cora Blue, which was all about recycling, upcycling and reducing plastic waste. Ashley said that after doing a road trip, she ‘got stuck’ in Byron and loves that she can earn money doing a market stall while she is here. It turns out the markets aren’t just good for our youth, but also people with working-holiday visas.

The Byron Flea Market may be one of the least-known market spaces in the northern rivers, but it is one of the best – it encourages young up-and-coming entrepreneurs! Located at the YAC, Byron Youth Service (BYS) holds the event every second Saturday of the month to keep the local heart beating in Byron Bay. It’s the only market of its kind in Australia, in that it is a youth-focused softentry marketplace where young people can practise entrepreneurship and gain work experience in event

management, social media, digital payment systems, performance and retail. Take Montana Taylor and Kalindi Lathouras, for example, aged 16 and 17, from Murwillumbah and Sleepy Hollow. Their stall was cranking last weekend with their ‘everything for $3’ low-cost high-sales strategy. ‘We live in rural areas that don’t have much going on,’ they said. ‘Byron has better vibes and we are making enough money to replace our part-time jobs.’ The youngest stallholder on the weekend was Yuying Bouwer with her brother Chungte, from Suffolk Park.

Upcoming events In 2019, The YAC heartbeat will be even stronger with a series of happening events co-existing with the Flea Market. Byron Youth Service is also collaborating with the Byron Chamber of Commerce to launch the Byron Youth Chamber. To apply for a market stall at the December Byron Flea Markets visit www.bys.org.au ($10 if you are 20 and under, $20 for everyone else). Rumour has it that there are going to be free pony rides for everyone, fairies, and maybe a rainbow version of Santa. Q Katie Grubb is from BYS.

Unique Estates founder before court Paul Bibby The founding director of Unique Estates, Byron’s nowdefunct boutique real estate agency, appeared in a Sydney court last week to face more than a dozen charges. Nicolette Van Wijngaarden

appeared in the Downing Centre Local Court on 10 charges of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception, and five charges of being an accessory to offences committed by a corporation. Court documents reveal

that the 44-year-old former Byron resident is now living in the Melbourne suburb of Elwood. She has had to hand in both her Australian and Dutch passports as a condition of bail, and is forbidden from entering any international airport or other point

of departure from Australia. She is also required to report to St Kilda police station once a week. In a statement to The Echo the Department of Finance said, ‘the total quantum of money involved in all charges alleged is in excess of $3.5m’.

Mullumbimby is going green in support of droughtaffected farmers and the business community are asking everyone to get involved and dig deep on this Friday November 16. ‘Instyle Living Mullum came up with the idea of choosing green, because that is the colour of grass and therefore hope for the future,’ said Jenelle Stanford, president of the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce. ‘The president of the CWA in Bingara has also kindly donated some badges that

will be on sale at selected businesses throughout the day. They are three colours combined: brown to represent the earth; blue for water; green the grass; and a yellow button for the sun.’ The Mullumbimby Chamber has been supporting Gwydir Shire with a range of supplies, from feed for horses to financial assistance and essential domestic supplies. ‘Last week we purchased another half a tonne of calf formula in our ongoing support for the Gwydir Shire,’ said Jenelle. ‘So get dressed up in green, pull out the streamers and get involved supporting our farmers.’

Study explores barriers that homeless people face Paul Bibby New research into the experience of local homeless people suggests that while some community members are kind and accepting, others have a lot to learn. The academic undertaking the research, Rohena Duncombe, said the homeless people she interviewed spoke of a ‘mixed experience’ in their interactions with the wider community. ‘It was really varied,’ said Ms Duncombe, a lecturer at Charles Sturt University. ‘Some [locals] seemed to appreciate what the [homeless] person been through, but others didn’t really seem to understand

the circumstances that led to homelessness at all.’ Ms Duncombe said this lack of understanding was quite common within the broader Australian community. ‘If we asked the standard conservative person they would probably tend to think that people are homeless because they’re drinkers or because they’re just lazy,’ she said. ‘The fact is that in the vast majority of cases people are not homeless for those reasons. There’s a whole history and background, often going right back to childhood.’ The interviews Ms Duncombe conducted locally are part of a project exploring the barriers homeless

people face when attempting to access services, particularly healthcare. Research has shown that while homeless people get sick more often and have shorter lives they use fewer primary health services than the rest of the population. When they do seek medical attention, it is usually for an acute or more advanced condition that requires admission to hospital. Part of the reason for this reluctance to seek help early, Ms Duncombe says, is that the entry points for health services tend not to be easily accessed by homeless people. This difficulty in obtaining access may be because of a lack of knowledge about

the available services, or because a homeless person feels alienated and isolated from the health system. According to Ms Duncombe, this is where their treatment by the community comes into play. She says the experience of homelessness often exacerbates existing trauma, which in turn often results in mental health issues and substance use. The good news, Ms Duncombe said, was that there were simple things locals could do to make homeless people’s lives easier. ‘The more we can do to reduce the isolation and discrimination many homeless people feel, the more we are supporting their chances of recovery.’

It’s a new truck! NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) members have welcomed their latest addition to fighting fires this bushfire season with a new $197,000 Category Seven pumper. Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant said it would enable the Mullumbimby Brigade ‘to provide an even greater level of fire protection to the local community.’ He said, ‘Our ongoing investment in new vehicles ensures the NSW RFS have access to modern firefighting technology when responding to fires as well as other incidents across the state.’ Nationals parliamentary secretary for Northern NSW Ben Franklin said the Mullumbimby Brigade is a very active unit, ‘often dispatched to bush, grass, and structure fires as well as motor vehicle accidents, so these new trucks will prove invaluable.’ He said, ‘While the brigade’s previous resource served them well, I am confident this new state-ofthe-art vehicle will prove even better as we continue through what is expected to be a very challenging bushfire season.’ NSW RFS chief superintendent Tim Butcher said the dedication of far north coast team volunteers is always appreciated, and this new vehicle will support the brigade to continue their outstanding work.

Vale Noel McAviney, SES stalwart Aslan Shand They used to say that life started at 40 – but for Noel McAviney you could say he started a new life at 55, when he and his wife Gwenyth followed their daughters Lynne, Gail, Lorraine and Kathy to the north coast. They enjoyed living first at Myocum, where Noel once again built the family home before moving to their final home in Brunswick Heads. It was here, in his retirement, that Noel became a vital part of the community both through his and Gwenyth’s involvement in the local church and through Noel’s voluntary work at Mullumbimby’s SES (State Emergency Service). ‘When they moved here we remember them saying, “We will go to the church in Mullum, but we won’t

get involved” – famous last words,’ said their daughter Lynne with a fond smile. ‘Mum and Dad became involved in Cursillo in the diocese of Grafton, then Dad became a lay minister at Mullum Anglican and Ocean Shores church. Then he kept up lay preaching in the Uniting Church in Brunswick. ‘Dad was even involved in the baptism of at least two of his grandchildren. Mum and Dad also ran the Kids Club at Mullum for many years.’ But that wasn’t enough

for the tireless Noel, who also launched himself into volunteer work at the local Mullumbimby SES and worked his way up to Local Controller Byron Shire. He didn’t retire from that until he was 81 years young. During his years of volunteering with the SES Noel was involved in everything from co-ordinating the SES response to floods and tornados to co-ordinating rescues and evacuations. Noel also played a key role in saving properties from coastal erosion at Belongil, co-ordinating the Field Incident Command Centre that assisted in laying 30,000 sandbags. John Farley, SES Mullumbimby unit representative, said of Noel at his farewell, ‘To say that Noel was wholly committed, devoted, loyal and dedicated as we all

know, is not even close to describing the real Noel.’ ‘He welcomed and mentored new members as if they were his new kin. ‘He gave his time unreservedly to the State Emergency Service.’

Rally calls for end to water mining in the Tweed Chris Dobney A rally at Tweed Council Chambers on Monday heard that recent survey results say more than 99 per cent of Uki residents want water mining banned in the shire. Representatives of the Tweed Water Alliance and the Water Dragons met with the Tweed mayor Katie Milne and deputy mayor Chris Cherry, who assured them that Council are listening to the community’s concerns and taking the issue seriously. ‘Applications for new DAs will be looked at more closely

and the community submission process will be more transparent’, Cr Milne said. The mayor told them she has a motion coming before the next council meeting that would remove water mining as a permissible use under the Local Environment Plan (LEP) but she warned that walking back existing approvals would be more problematic. In light of a recent waterextraction application in Alstonville, water mining has become a regional issue, with the Greens calling on the state government to direct Ballina and Tweed

local councils to prohibit water mining. There is also concern that Tweed Council is failing to enforce the rules on water miners, some of whom have been exceeding their allowances and operating outside the council’s consent conditions for years. Northern Rivers Guardians spokesperson Scott Sledge said the community was being asked ‘to effectively subsidise the water miners who truck water out on large tankers, some being b-doubles 19 metres long’. ‘These trucks carry our

water to bottling plants in QLD and the taxpayer foots the bill for repairs to the roads.’

Kym ThompsonÂ Sunday October 28 was National Grandparents Day in Australia, and to celebrate, Hinterland Christian College invited grandparents and grandfriends for morning tea and a time of fun activities.

I was thrilled that even the secondary school grandparents attended and we are keen to

do it again in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our grandparents and grandfriends toured the classrooms, looked at childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, participated in activities and observed games in the classroom and playground. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The students thoroughly enjoyed hosting the event for their grandparents and the grandfriends relished the time spent together.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Slow moving coup

US Nazis in Madison Square Garden, 1939, as part of a German-American Bund rally. Image The Atlantic Are you a leader of a country and have found yourself demonising the press, undermining the independence of the courts, bolstering police powers and cultivating division between racial, social and economic classes? Well, you may well be an authoritarian tyrant! Many democratic countries have now closed their borders to immigrants and embrace strongmen leaders to protect them against marauding hordes of desperate humans escaping wars that the West may, or may not, be behind. Brazil just elected a right-wing populist president; the Philippines loves its self-admitting murdering president Duterte. And Russia’s Putin is well known to be behind the murder of journalists critical of his tyrannical rule. Hungary is populist, anti-immigration parties are strong in the Nordic states, Turkey’s president Erdogan has wound back freedoms and is dismantling its institutions. The UK are trying to Brexit, The Dutch have a hardline leader in Geert Wilders, France has Marine Le Pen and Germany’s largest opposition party is hard right and anti-immigration. Oh, and the largest economy and democracy on the planet is run by a feeble-minded, thin-skinned elderly dolt who takes cues from the authoritarian dictator rulebook. As US political comedian Bill Maher says, it’s a slow moving coup. It’s no suprise tyranny is making a comeback – the rise of National Socialism (fascism) during the 1930s was not just in Germany, Japan and Italy; some Australians were also swept up in the faux promise of nationalism. The US held its own Nazi rallies and some in the British monarchy were impressed by Hitler. The rise of 1930s fascism also coincided with the Great Depression, which provided fertile grounds for nationalism. Where to from here? Apart from addressing climate change, mass habitat loss/extinction and environmental catastrophes, it’s the greatest question facing the species and there are few world leaders who offer a solution. It’s up to us. Happy days! Hans Lovejoy, editor News tips are welcome: editor@echo.net.au

ust because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean people don’t hate you. It sometimes seems that Malcolm Turnbull is being pursued by that old Al Capp character Joe Btfsplk, who brought bad luck to everyone near him. Not that he has any lack of real persecutors to contend with: on what will be presumably only the first of his farewell Q&A tours, he named nine of the most dastardly and was only prepared to give limited absolution to the real beneficiary, his successor Scott Morrison. It was supposed to be the stuff of headlines – the zinger to kybosh whatever benefit Morrison’s Queensland non-bus trip may have achieved. But then along came Luke Foley, providing the slavering media with redder, rawer meat than Turnbull could ever offer. Foley’s self-immolation dominated the headlines, with his pleas for selfjustification relegated to the bottom of the page – except, of course, in the letters page of The Australian, when the triumphant bile regurgitated against Turnbull continued unabated. And in a sense this was fair enough, because Turnbull’s big occasion was something of an anticlimax. He made great play of the economic legacy – the vindication, as he saw it, of his Jobs and Growth slogan. But, as was the case with so many of his predecessors, this was the result at least as much of good luck as good management; in the 21st century, middle-sized domestic economies are invariably hostage to international conditions. Australia’s success – built firmly upon the achievements of Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan in avoiding the worst effects of the Global Financial Crisis – has benefited hugely from the rise in commodity prices, over which no government in Canberra has any real control. And more interesting was what Turnbull did not boast. There was no serious mention of the ongoing inadequacies and blowouts of the NBN, which he had personally taken charge of at the behest of Tony Abbott. The fiasco of energy policy was brushed aside and climate change barely got a look in. He claimed credit for same-sex marriage but failed to admit that he vigorously opposed the plebiscite, which was finally thrust upon him. And overall, he ducked the crucial question

of why he had made such grovelling capitulations to the Nationals and the mad right of the Liberal caucus. No-one expected a mea culpa – such humility is not in the man’s make-up. But a proper apologia pro sua vita would have been nice. Instead we got, as so often from Turnbull, self-serving waffle: his genius is surely there for all to see, so any criticism of it – let alone the kind that leads to open opposition – must by definition be insurgency, madness. So no apple carts were upset, few if any beans were spilled; the event could hardly be described as a smash hit.

The undeniable fact is that both Abbott and Turnbull have been rejected as leaders by their own party.. Mungo MacCallum But nearly a million people watched it and many of them will be hoping impatiently for another episode; Scott Morrison may be assuring them that it is all over, time to move on, business as usual, but they know better. And unless, in the culture wars within the right, the moderates and the reactionaries can come to a truce – an outcome as likely as Turnbull and Abbott performing a same-sex marriage – the government will continue to struggle its way towards defeat. Morrison has, at last, had a bit of luck in Foley and, at the end of the week, in a terrorist attack in Melbourne. And he will undoubtedly promote them in his most vigorous marketing style, but most of the advantage from those will go to his state colleagues. The prime minister has also resumed full attack mode over Labor’s longrunning policy to curb negative gearing on new investment properties. Taking an opportunity to stoke fears of a falling property market, he has gone back to the line that Bill Shorten would take a sledgehammer to hard-working mums and dads, to their savings, their residences, to their very livelihoods – a hyperbolic absurdity that didn’t work in 2016 and is unlikely

to work now. But this is the kind of belligerent negativity that the warriors of the right are urging, while on the other side the moderates are talking up the lessons of the Wentworth by-election and the need to reclaim the centre for the mythical base. Morrison may be the neophyte leader, but in practice he is still trapped in the vendetta between his two predecessors, Turnbull and Abbott – and their zealous followers. Abbott says his job is done; he has vanquished his enemy and the war is over so he will go back to being an unobtrusive backbencher. Turnbull says he has resigned from parliament and only wants to go back to business – he is finished with politics. The trouble is that no-one believes them for an instant and, even if they were momentarily sincere, as soon as one of them slipped in a real or imagined provocation, the other would be back in action with all guns blazing. And the media can’t wait, dealing out lures and baits designed to prolong the reliably newsworthy conflict and chaos for as long as possible. In one sense Morrison is correct: this debate should be in the past. The undeniable fact is that both Abbott and Turnbull have been rejected as leaders by their own party. We can argue about how and why it was done and whether or not these were wise moves but they have been done – it is irrevocable; only the seriously delusional (ie Tony Abbott) think there is any chance of a comeback. But the state of current politics, particularly among the mad right, suggests that delusion and reality are closely entwined. No wonder that Morrison has gone down to the old, tried and true formula: Islamic extremists pose the greatest threat to Australia. Of course last week the greatest threat to Australia was the likelihood of a Shorten government, but hey, if you’re into marketing you have to refresh the brand from time to time. And in any case, most Liberals, both in and out of parliament, know the greatest threat to Australia has always been either Malcolm Turnbull or Tony Abbott – take your pick. They call themselves conservatives, so why change now?

Letters ǩǩǯŔ żōëƆƐĶĈ ćşƐƐōĕƆ Recently Jeremy Tager of Tweed Water Alliance stated that the Tweed Shire has become the water-mining capital of Australia. With the approval of the ex-Labor minister’s mine in Uki, the combined amount of all the mines now stands at 137 million litres per year. Owing to there being no oversight on the amount extracted from existing mines this figure is a conservative one. The behaviour of these miners in relation to overextraction has been well documented. Even more alarming is that the spring water is shipped to Queensland to be put in 600ml plastic bottles. This means that the 137 million litres of water will result in the production of 228 million plastic bottles! Recent research found only 40 per cent of plastic bottles are actually recycled. This results in over 91 million bottles ending up in landfill, the waterways and ocean. If the Tweed Shire is the water-mining capital of Australia then it’s also the plasticpollution capital as well. The Tweed Shire Council, the councillors and we should be ashamed for letting this happen. What a

Australia has the highest use of ice in the world and we now have three deaths a day through opioids – the same level of the USA ten years ago. It is urgent that we rethink our current drug laws.

Sounds good for community doesn’t it. So who and what is community? The video shop had been there for years and part of the community service they provided was to allow a long-term homeless woman to leave her bags in the shop – a safe place to put them – before sleeping in the alley at night. In place of the community service quietly offered by the video shop owners we now have gates going up over the walkway (at night time) and a security camera installed to make sure no riff-raff are misbehaving. This blocks off the walkway between Stuart Street and the carpark at Diner 55 (previously the Poinciana) – a walkway that has been open to the public since these commercial premises were built. Do we want to see fences and CCTV watching us in our town? If the answer to that is yes, I ask again – why did you move here? Community? Freedom? That village feel?

This did not happen. I received a response from Cr Richardson outlining that this was not the case and since then a giveway sign has been put up – thanks!

CHESS

by Ian Rogers As attention turned this week to the World Championship match in London, a remarkable achievement went largely unnoticed. At a tournament in Shenzen, China’s Ding Liren passed a record long thought unapproachable: former World Champion Mikhail Tal’s 95 game streak in 1973/4 without a defeat. Despite his winning percentage being slightly lower, Ding’s achievement is far superior to Tal’s. In the past 15 months Ding has competed in multiple elite events including a World Cup, an Olympiad and a Candidates tournament. By contrast Tal was playing mixed events in an era where anti-draw rules were non-existent and short or even prearranged draws were not uncommon. A quarter of Tal’s streak consisted of draws in fewer than 20 moves and Tal’s world ranking actually fell slightly over 1973/4. Two other players claim undefeated streaks longer than 100, Grandmasters Bogdan Lalic and Sergey Tiviakov, but both include many non-world ranked games

against amateurs in weekend tournaments. Ding’s feat was marked by a cake from the organisers of the Shenzen tournament, where the Chinese number one is closing in on the 100 game mark (and also on the world number three position). One of the remarkable features about Ding’s play during the streak has been his willingness to take risks, caring little about possible defeat, as in the 2017 Game of the Year. China Team Championship 2017 White: Bai Jinshi Black: Ding Liren Opening: Nimzo-Indian Defence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 0-0 5.Bg5 c5 6.e3 cxd4 7.Qxd4 Nc6 8.Qd3 h6 9.Bh4 d5 10.Rd1 g5 11.Bg3 Ne4 12.Nd2 Nc5 13.Qc2 d4!?

Clothing-optional beach debate continues Q Many, if not most, sexually focused visitors are attracted to the Tyagarah Beach and the tea-tree lake purely because of the beach’s ‘clothing optional’ status. Naturist social media pages find they are flooded with sexual references as soon as there is a clothingoptional beach mentioned. According to the Get Naked Australia Instagram page their social media outlets have a combined total of 250,000 followers. Let’s say 100,000 of those are there to look at girls’ bums. These pests also chat about the sexual fun they can have on our beach and spread that idea to other networks. There have been perverted characters secretly attending naturist events and taking photos, which has forced naturists to cease

their events until a clean-up has been achieved. Many men come here to masturbate towards us women. They ignore our lack of interest and persist in trying to get our attention. They even stay around the area after committing that offence as though it is all okay and expected behaviour here. No matter how loudly or clearly you, me or naturists state ‘nude is not rude’, only the converted hear that. The rest hear that nudity = sexually free behaviour and they come with that focus. I would like to know if the councillors who voted to keep the clothing-optional beach understand the direct role a clothing-optional beach has in attracting sexually focused visitors? Yuti McLean Mullumbimby

Q The problem of Tyagarah being clothes optional is its remoteness, making it a target for the socially and sexually damaged victims of our sexually repressive oldworld social system. The problem could easily be solved by making public beaches clothes optional – much safer. Provision for those who believe we have bodies with ‘dirty bits’ could be made by declaring Tyagarah ‘clothing compulsory’. Do we have bodies with ‘dirty bits’ or is that a deliberate piece of body-shaming manipulation? We knew this stuff 50 years ago but while the movement spawned by the social revolution of the 60s and 70s has been growing well with over 90 per cent of people now environmentally concerned,

it grew organically, not at all organised. On the other hand the wealthy and influential with a vested interest in the status quo certainly noticed that revolution and have been thoroughly organised. They’ve engaged in a relentless process of reinforcing conservatism. The finest legal and political systems money can buy, aided by the finest mainstream media money can buy, have done an excellent job of it. But the outcome is inevitable: we either transition to a sustainable future or, as is rapidly becoming obvious, unsustainable is terminal. Regarding ourselves as unworthy pieces of shit with ‘dirty bits’ is probably unsustainable. Robin Harrison Binna Burra

The Affordable Housing Income Gap report identified a yearly income of $100,000 is needed to live comfortably in the Shire. Most local people, especially the young, earn way below this figure.

The peaceful type where we start doing things differently so that we achieve a different result. We need to occupy our land, build our own housing and save our community. We can do this by creating a community land trust in the Byron Shire. A community land trust breaks the market monopoly of private home ownership and creates long-term individual leases up to 99 years

for land that individuals and families are able to build on. A community land trust is not aÂ commune, a community title or some quasigovernment corporation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an independent legal organisation that is community owned and operated for theÂ dedicated purpose of keeping housing affordable.

What’s the bloody emergency? Does 1.5 degrees really matter? Christobel Munson

Australian inaction

Earlier last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published yet another report. It declared, in the strongest terms such a body can muster, that internationally, efforts to tackle climate change must be ramped up significantly, and that global warming poses a grave risk to humanity. In other words, pull your fingers out and actually start to significantly reduce your carbon emissions pretty smartly, folks, or we’re stuffed. Within days of this news being released, it, too, was being used to wrap rubbish. That is, if you still have an actual hard-copy newspaper. But before this latest news gets buried in the junk pile, let’s just consider what the IPCC’s trying to bring to our attention. You’re probably aware that since the industrial revolution our world has already warmed up by one degree, owing to increasing greenhouse gas pollution from the burning of oil, coal and gas. In Australia, this increase has led directly to more frequent, longer-lasting and more

So what’s actually happened in Australia since the Paris agreement? Not much – just heaps of hot air, particularly from the federal level of our various governments and political leaders. But locally, it’s another matter. At Zero Emmission Byron’s (ZEB) BIG U TURN AHEAD event, the Climate Council’s Professor Will Steffen was asked how much time was left before Australian businesses, industry, government and households reach the peak emissions point of no return, and what to do. His view: phase out all fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas by 2040, and start to reduce our emissions within two years. Why? To avert the collapse of modern civilisation. Some people are listening. At the last Byron Shire Council meeting, a State of Climate Emergency was declared by Cr Cate Coorey. Her motion urges other northern rivers councils to follow suit and call for swift action on climate change. As Cr Coorey says: ‘All the latest science is telling us we have a very short window to act before irreversible and catastrophic impacts from

intense heatwaves, coastal flooding, and longer and more dangerous bushfire seasons. The IPCC says we must keep any temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, as agreed by 125 nations at the COP21 convention in Paris three years ago.

Serious impacts This week alone, you may have read that the ice covering the Antarctic is melting faster than anticipated, with permafrost in the Arctic melting at ridiculously fast rates, releasing methane and carbon dioxide. As it melts, poisonous mercury and

microbes locked up in the ice are released, with a rippledown effect – like warping roads and creating sinkholes and craters. Last month rising sea levels combined with a category five hurricane, wiped out an island off Hawaii last month. Closer to home, NSW has had record harsh droughts and higher temperatures, with heat stress seriously affecting older people, animals and babies. Energy costs are rising. Changing rainfall patterns are negatively impacting on agriculture, and our beaches are slowly disappearing.

global warming start to take effect. In a shire like Byron, that means sea-level rise, a likely increase in extreme weather events like floods, droughts, fires and damaging storms. ‘We may not be able to have a direct impact on political decisions at the state and federal level, but we can show some leadership locally and start taking action.’ Byron Council’s now convened a community-led Climate Emergency Guidance Group to develop a shirewide

Climate Emergency Plan. ‘Reversing climate change may seem like an insurmountable problem but if every council, community and individual does their bit then at least we can say we have done something,’ Councillor Coorey said. Want to make a start? Around 40 per cent of the Shire’s emissions come from electricity use so it’s time to flick fossil fuels forever. Q Christobel Munson is a director of ZEB.

If you are looking for a great day out for all the family then it is time to get down to the Bangalow Show that will be taking place this Friday and Saturday. There is a huge range of competitions to enter and events to get involved in. From show jumping to reptiles and ride-on-mower races to horse-riding musical chairs (or should we say musical bales) and a kids’ pet competition there is plenty to keep everyone amused.

The Pavilion Bangalow Markets by Marie-France 19a Byron Street, Bangalow • 02 6687 1936 • www.ninbella.com

Two distinct locations, two unique experiences. Exclusive fashion, homewares, furniture and accessories that recreate a luxury holiday lifestyle.

The key is to get along and get involved. ‘For the home cooks and hipsters we have the Tart of the Show on the Village Green Saturday morning and cookery judging (senior and junior) in the pavilion on Friday. Preserves, jams, chutneys and pickles are popular classes that carry bragging rights in some circles,’ said one of the show organisers, Mellissa Madden. But if the kitchen isn’t where you shine you can enter the art, photography or the written-word competitions. However, if you think you have the best eggs or rhubarb in town then get your produce down to the Pavilion between 7 and 9am on Friday morning to ensure you don’t miss the judging. Whatever the vegetables you’ve grown or skills you have to hand, there are plenty of opportunities to win prizes for all ages in the myriad competitions to enter. Find out more under the Pavilions Schedule on the website bangalowshowcom.au.

Living like an Aussie farmer

Did you ever think that the life of Aussie farmers was easy? Well think again. From the Marathong to the ute pull and pack and the team stockman ironman events you can try your hand at a day in the life of a farmer. ‘The ironman stockman event is a pretty hard work,’ said Mellissa. With a prize of $1,000 the winning team have to dig a fence post in, light a fire, and drink warm beer before riding bareback around the arena with a bale of hay before chopping down the post they’ve just erected. Saturday afternoon will also see the Marathong, a truly Australian invention – a relay in thongs of course! ‘The relay must be completed in thongs, single or double pluggers,’ said Melissa.

‘The runners must carry a sausage in tongs in one hand and a cup of beverage in the other and exchange “batons” with their team members then complete the relay.’

Poultry Portraits Do you have the most beautiful bird in town? If you think you have a winner then now is your chance to prove it. The Bangalow show has not only introduced a rare-breed section this year but they are also ensuring proud birds and their owners can be professionally photographed. ‘To tie in with our Chooks show theme there will be Poultry Portraits at the Poultry Pavilion with Michael Crocker. Poultry owners can have their birds professionally photographed and can order photographs from Michael,’ said Melissa with a cheeky smile.

New events ‘We have a new Junior & Juvenile Stock Horse Challenge to tie in with the very popular Danny Thomas Memorial Stock Horse Challenge,’ Melissa highlighted. ‘This will be the second year of Paddock Pony events for children who aren’t competing in the ring but would like to bring their pony to the show. These events include: Led Horsemanship, Ridden Paddock Pony, Utility Paddock Pony and Paddock Pony Costume Class. ‘We have new family events including the Henny Penny Olympics for young children, egg-and-spoon races, sack races and three-legged races that will be taking place Saturday morning 11.30 on The Village Green.’ Of course everyone is encouraged to join up for the classic Boot Toss following the Henny Penny Olympics where entrants can demonstrate their distance and accuracy with gumboot tossing.

Stunt riders and explosions The show will then be rounded off with the spectacular Aussie FMX performing breathtaking motocross stunts as the feature entertainment on Saturday afternoon and evening followed by spectacular fireworks finale at 8.30pm.

National Recycling Week Monday 12 till Sunday 18 November 2018

Top 5 recycling tips from Byron Shire Council: 1. Keep it simple – recycling bins are for: clean paper and cardboard, steel, aluminium, glass, hard plastic containers, resource recovery collection satchels. 2. Keep it loose – make sure your recyclables are placed in the yellow-lidded recycling bin loose. Please don’t put your recycling inside a plastic bag or box because it will contaminate the truckload.

3. Keep it clean – leftover food is a challenge for our recyclers so please keep it as clean a possible. 4. Keep out – nappies, food, fabric, rope, string and strapping. 5. Keep recycling – We’re proud of our region’s efforts and it’s more important than ever that we keep up our good recycling practices.

H OW A D D I C T I O N A F F E C T S E V E RY O N E O F U S A N D W H AT W E CAN DO ABOUT IT Byron Writers Festival presents Matt Noffs (CEO of the Ted Noffs Foundation) in conversation with Chris Hanley about his new book Addicted? The book, and impending discussion, is about addictions of all kinds. Addiction to smartphone use, sex, games, social media, gambling, money, but most of all to alcohol and drugs. At a time when the Australian government wants to drug test welfare recipients, do Australians really understand addiction

and how someone becomes addicted to a substance or behaviour in the first place?

Addicted? is filled with fascinating information; about the body, the brain and the human experience. It’s a big book with big ideas and a bloody big heart. All ingredients for a fascinating, must-see event. Tuesday 4 Dec 6pm at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Tickets $10/$15 via byronwritersfestival. com/whats-on or call 6685 5115.

Every year the Byron Music Society hosts a performance of a major choral work by singers from all over the northern rivers. This year they are performing Mozart’s Requiem Mass. Mozart was commissioned to write it in 1791 by a mysterious stranger. This was odd, but the fee was good, and Mozart needed the money. He completed half of it, but died before finishing it. Music educator and conductor Richard Gill had been engaged to conduct. Very sadly he died at the end of October, so the performance will be dedicated to his memory, and it will be conducted by Nicholas Routley, a long-term friend and colleague of Richard’s. It will be accompanied by a full orchestra, the Amatori Orchestra, with soloists Gaynor Morgan, Sara Saint-saëns, Geoffrey Webb, and Patrick Donnelly. byronmusicsociety.com

A RT I ST I N F O C U S STO K E R S SIDING Robin Saunders’s passion for art began twenty years ago while on a self-imposed ‘YES’ year. She enrolled at Murwillumbah TAFE in a Work Opportunity for Women course for creative writing, which eventually led her to studying for a Certificate IV in Fine Arts. It was during this period of self-discovery that Robin found both the ‘artist within’ and an appreciation for art as a potential form of healing. In 2008, she graduated with a Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy from the Ikon Institute in Sydney and since then her art practice has grown and morphed according to life’s circumstances. Robin likes the challenge of using whatever’s there at the time, exploring the potential of found objects, responding to personal mood and having an awareness of art as a transformational tool. This experimental approach greatly influences the direction her work takes. She joined Community Printmakers Murwillumbah in 1999 and has since exhibited consistently in both group and solo exhibitions, taking out the member’s award in CPM’s Biannual National Print Awards in 2014. Her upcoming solo exhibition Floating Landscape opening at SSAG, Stokers Siding Art Gallery, on 17 November is a series of prints on paper and mixed media where Robin has experimented with feathers, using them as a resist in printing with reused steel etching plates and new engravings from scrap insulation paper. @robinsaundersart

Local business has a creative way to give back to Aussie farmers Local business Raine&Horne Real Estate Ocean Shores / Brunswick Heads announced today that for every home listed for sale between now and 31 January they will donate $1,000 to farming families struggling to survive in one of the worst droughts in Australia’s history. Donations will go to the Aussie Helpers Charity Organisation to help our Aussie farmers who have been affected by one of the worst droughts in history with equipment, food and emotional support. Aussie Helpers stay in touch with 100s of farming families to ensure their wellbeing and survival through good and bad times, and this time is especially tough. The organisation was started over 15 years ago, and now has a team of over 40 dedicated volunteers. Julie-Ann Manahan, principal and selling agent Raine&Horne Real

The team at Raine and Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads Estate Ocean Shores / Brunswick Heads, is passionate about supporting our local farmers affected by the drought across Australia and believes she can make a difference through her business. ‘As the severity of the drought starts to hit home with the wider Australian population, more people are

asking, “What can I do to help?” ‘Here at Raine&Horne Real Estate Ocean Shores / Brunswick Heads we are getting creative in our aid to help struggling farmers – for every home listed for sale we will donate $1,000 to the Aussie Helpers charity. The more properties we list, the more money the farmers will

receive. When you list your property for sale everybody wins.’ Ms Manahan has been operating in the area since 2015 under the Raine&Horne franchise; however, she has been in real estate since the early 90s and is passionate about the beautiful northern rivers, actively participating in community events and servicing clients from Ballina to the Tweed and everywhere in between. ‘We live in such a beautiful area, which is relatively untouched and prosperous. I wanted to with my business get behind and support this great cause and support the local community. ‘Raine&Horne has been a familyowned business for 135 years and would have seen many serious drought conditions, with this being one of the worst. ‘I hope to encourage any person, other principals, and local businesses to follow my lead and help make life a little easier for those in the drought areas who are suffering through no fault of their own,’ Ms

Manahan says. To list your property for sale, call 6680 5000 today, or to donate to the Aussie Helpers see here: https:// aussiehelpers.org.au/. $1,000 is paid on settlement.

RBA November announcement On 6 November the Reserve Bank (RBA) decided to leave interest rates on hold. The RBA last cut rates back in August 2016, paving the way for the longest period without a change in modern history. While the RBA has indicated for some time that the next move will most likely be upwards, many economists are tipping that we will see no change in 2019, with an increase likely in 2020.

SNEAK PREVIEW

͚HEAVENLY PEACEFUL VALLEY͛ - A Truly Pristine Rainforest with Creek

Hidden behind the highly sought-after village of Main Arm only 2 minutes drive, less than 10 minutes to Mullumbimby & under 20 minutes to Bruns & Beaches. Rising to the protected wildlife corridor, The Inner Pocket Nature Reserve to the northerly rear - this property is truly sublime with magical features rarely found on properties so close to Mullumbimby & the coastal beaches. Blindmouth Creek originates here providing the owners with the cleanest, purest water (with a 10 megalitre water licenĐe) flowing into the commencement of the Brunswick River! Opportunities here are endless & potentially include a Multiple Occupancy (STCA), the landscape lends itself to a health retreat (STCA) or this private oasis would make the perfect private sanctuary to escape busy city life! The elevation captures sea breezes & the natural rainforest environment keeps things cool in summer. The main residence is faultlessly main-tained & offers a versatile layout with a 3-bedroom main house upstairs & a self-contained guest accommodation on the ground level. There is a well-proportioned machinery shed, a separate bush cabin & several cleared building sites. The opportunity to own an untouched old growth rainforest with this level of privacy so close to the coast is extremely rare! Be sure to call!

Described by The New York Times as ‘The Sultan of Shred’, Bombino and his band will appear on Friday and Saturday. Also on the bill this year are Japanese kings of funk and soul Osaka Monaurail, much-loved reggae musician Mike Love (US), and Irish group Saint Sister, who NPR recently voted favourite discovery artists at SXSW 2018. All up more than 80 artists from around the world, the nation and locally grown, will descend on the small town of Mullumbimby for four days of captivating music.

not oversell or crowd venues. It’s inevitable that some gigs will be more popular than others, so please get to your ‘must see’ shows early to avoid disappointment, as venues do fill up. If a venue is full, then don’t stress, there is always another great act just across the road, or next door, that will have space. Please respect the town and the neighbours of our venues, and at the end of the night, please leave venues quietly.

Most self-respecting music tragics have a musical bucket list, acts they will travel halfway across the world to see. One of mine is coming to Mullumbimby this year!

New spaces and events

1. Comedy at the Council Chambers Featuring Rusty Berther, Mandy Nolan, Dusty Rich, Ellen Briggs, Jonathan Atherton, Lindsay Webb, Sergio Ben Bullshit, Paul McMahon and Matt Ford. Mullum Music Fest brings comedy to the Council Chambers with headline comics from around the country delivering two powerpacked hour-long shows Saturday and Sunday. All shows are unique and it’s a strictly 15-plus show. No little kids. Only adults with very naughty inner children. Saturday & Sunday, 2pm & 4pm, Council Chambers, Station Street.

2. Byron School of Art Exhibition & Live Music From Friday to Sunday the Byron School of Art (BSA) plays host to live music and an exciting exhibition by Brian Taranto.

EXHIBITION: Brian ‘BT’ Taranto, is many things. A festival and concert promoter and music merch mogul with his company Love Police, and when he has some time or a vibe, apparently an artist! After spending over 30 years on the rock ’n’ roll highway expect to see to a heavy musical influence in the artworks on show. Personal reflections and images of a life of quality tunes and good times.

LIVE MUSIC AT BSA:

MAGIC BUS Once again the ever-popular Magic Bus will be cruising the streets of our Festival in regular intervals to ferry festival-goers between venues and throughout the town.

WASTE-FREE CATERING at FESTIVAL MARKETPLACE

RENEW FEST COMMUNITY PROGRAM

This year Mullum Cares is working with the festival to introduce Waste-Free Catering: A strategy based on avoiding single-use food and beverage containers. Again a deposit might be required, but you will get to eat and drink out of real cups and plates that don’t go into landfill. On return of the items you get your money back. How cool is that!

Proudly sponsored by FIRST SUN SOLAR We have collaborated once again with Renew Fest to present a community program that celebrates Mullumbimby’s passionate engagement with positive actions for sustainable change.

ANNUAL TREE PLANTING

For details on the wonderful workshops, walks and talks of this year’s community program head to www.mullummusicfestival.com. You can also visit the Renew Fest stall at the festival marketplace!

How it works: You will need to purchase a $2 sustainable cup with your first drink. This exchangeable cup will be refreshed with each drink purchased at the Stone & Wood bars. Return your cup at end of the festival and receive $2 back! In this way you can play your part in a more sustainable future at no cost.

We are committed to removing single-use plastic cups and water bottles from the festival’s ecological footprint. With The support of Green Music Australia, Mullum Cares and We Refill all venues will have cold drinks including water bottle refills available but not disposable water bottles. A festival pass for filtered water bottle refills will be available from the ticketing office for $5 and single refills at the stations for $1. So, help reduce single-use plastics and #BYOBOTTLE!

Renew Fest strongly supports MMF’s move towards being free of single-use plastic cups and bottles and is grateful for their ongoing support for COREM. Thank you for your support too, by bringing your own reusable water bottles and cups to MMF this year!

As we continue our march towards a plastic-free event, we are excited to partner with Stone & Wood on our cup-exchange initiative. Again, Stone & Wood bars will be using re-usable cups – and encouraging a circular economy! #forcupssake

Some artists not to be missed

TANGENTS

guitarist and songwriter Omara ‘Bombino’ Moctar was raised during an era of armed struggles for Tuareg independence and violent suppression by government forces. Bombino’s electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Touré, not to mention rock and blues icons such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page.

KAIIT (PNG/AU) At only 20 years old, Kaiit has shaken up the world of future-soul and RnB. She’s been named in Red Bull Music’s best rappers under 25, and claimed by Jill Scott as her and Erykah Badu’s downunder love child. Kaiit is proving to be one of the most exciting artists to watch in 2018.

Friday 8.45pm & Saturday 10.45pm High School

OSAKA MONAURAIL (JAPAN)

Friday 6.30pm at Civic Hall

BOMBINO (AFR/NIGER) ‘North African desert blues has become arguably the most successful world music genre to break through since reggae, and few have wielded the guitar with such mastery and majesty as Bombino’. – Mike Rubin New York Times Born in 1980 at a nomadic camp near this dusty outpost, the young

More than just fuel!

With seven studio albums, two live albums and a solid reputation as a must-see act, Osaka Monaurail are Japan’s premiere funk orchestra. They have been recording and touring together for more than 25 years and have built on their fanbase by thrilling audiences across Europe, Canada, USA, Asia, Australia and New Zealand for over a decade with their dynamic show. Expect to see a nine-piece band with sharp suits, organised steps, trumpets twirling in formation and the dynamic showmanship of charismatic singer and director Ryo Nakata. And expect to hear world-class, authentic, heavy funk. Friday 10.45pm Civic Hall & Saturday 9pm High School

GABRIELLA COHEN Gabriella Cohen writes music that is emotionally raw, aching with nostalgia and painted with melodies that recall a languid lovesickness. The Melbourne via LA-based songwriter is known for her magnetic stage presence, captivating audiences with a combination of honest heartache and sinister sensuality. Saturday 9.00pm Civic Hall Sunday 8.00pm Village Vanguard

BEN OTTEWELL (UK) As a singer and lead guitarist in rock band Gomez, Ben Ottewell is well known for his unmistakable voice and talent for blistering and inspired guitar solos. Rolling Stone declared, ‘Gomez’s not-so-secret weapon is Ben Ottewell.’ And as GQ magazine once wrote and anyone listening can attest, ‘[his] voice is not of this world.’ Since his first solo release, Shapes & Shadows (2011), Ottewell has been pleasing audiences with a series of successful acoustic tours across the UK, US and Australia. This was followed by his 2014 acclaimed album Rattlebag.

Oh, and they’re all 13–14 years of age! Saturday 3.15pm Bowlo

The only daughter of Byron Shire councillor Sarah Ndiaye, 18-year-old Senegalese Australian singer/songwriter Aysha Ndiaye was the voice that wowed the judges. She told the judges that ‘I still struggle with the vulnerability and anxiety that comes with performance and I would like to learn how to harness and overcome these feelings to become a powerful performer.’ Charismatic and larger than life, it’s no doubt that Aysha’s place is centre stage commanding a crowd. She will be mentored by Shelly Brown. Saturday 12pm Drill Hall

The winner of the Under-15 category to be mentored by William Crighton is 11-year-old Murwillumbah schoolgirl Emmagen Rain. Earlier this year she was the People’s Choice Winner at the Tamworth Country Music Busking Championship and previously won Channel 9’s The Voice competition at the Night Quarter in April. She was the youngest graduate at this year’s junior Academy of Country Music in Tamworth and featured on the Main Stage at the Gympie Folk Festival.

Tangents are an Australian-based quintet that melds electronic production, experimental rock and free improvisation. Comfortable working with jazz, folk music, post-rock and electronic music, their album Stateless was voted by Treble as on of the 10 Best Jazz Albums of 2016 which labelled it as ‘an exercise in beat-laden serenity’. A Tangents live show is a natural extension of their recorded work – unique and unrepeatable, featuring an instinctual, organic sense of time an space, rhythm and melody between the five musicians.

The Sunshine Coast’s 17 year old boy wonder Izack Hunt took out the Songwriting category. His music has been recognised by the Queensland Music Awards for the Indigenous section and he was a semi-finalist in their International Songwriting Competition. This young musician is clearly going to be one to watch, especially after his session with Lior. Saturday 2.15pm Drill Hall • 11am – Tin Whistle Workshop with Áine Tyrrell Festival Marketplace

Cool place: Diner 55

Idealistic vegan ice-cream

By S Haslam

It’s been 11 months since front-of-house Lara Brauer and chef Adam James saw the opportunity to sell their Mullumbimby cafe Punch and Daisy and take over the Poinciana in Mullumbimby shortly before Christmas 2017. They have turned it into Diner 55, a bar and casual diner-style restaurant right at the entrance to the town centre. Since then, while retaining the low-key and relaxed vibe of the venue, they have given a light, modern feel to the bar and deck overlooking the spacious, outdoor, treed garden area. And, although the blues artefacts gathered by Bluesfest co-founder Keven Oxford have long gone, the venue retains its strong connection to music, being one of the venues for the iconic Mullumbimby Music Festival, as well as being a wonderful place to have a drink and listen to live music on any given night. The space is generous for large groups and events, and there are monthly musical treats like the Barefoot Beats event and Diner 55’s new monthly event, Boogie Train. Mullumbimby has remained relatively immune from the worst pretentiousness of Byron, but don’t be deceived by its low-key dress code. This is a relaxed joint that does it right; bartenders will whip you up a handmade cocktail, or if it’s not too busy they’ll even whip up one from a previous cocktail menu. The excellent cocktails combined with American-style eats and bar snacks

produced by chef Adam (who has worked in a range of Michelin-starred restaurants) make it easy to slip into a pleasant other-worldly atmosphere of drinks and conversation in this venue where the covered areas open up easily into the warm evenings. ‘As the name and style suggest, we wanted to bring an element of fun to the town,’ says Lara, ‘and provide another watering hole apart from our beloved Australian pubs. We wanted to create a space where locals and families could dine at ease with their children, and have access to great quality food, great, wine and cocktails.’ Personally, I love the cocktails on the deck, and for me the vegetarian omelette and sourdough, and the mushroom burger with slaw, are both standout dishes (and of course burgers taste pretty good with cold beer on a warm day). ‘Our food was always designed to be simple and accessible, with a combination of vegan, vegetarian and meat-lover favourites,’ says Adam. Diner 55 offers a tasty choice of American-style dishes in smaller plates, larger plates and sides, so you can order a single dish and be done or share a large dish, add some fresh, pickled or fried sides or order anywhere in between. The menu includes roasted turmeric cauliflower, charred corncob, blackened broccolini, slow-cooked lamb ribs and truffled mac ’n’ cheese.

Going back to the court house would normally be a punishment, but not when it’s the restaurant at the Court House Hotel. Run by Michael Coy, the Court House Restaurant has seen some changes to the menu and décor, with new greenery, copper, and window seating. Michael is not looking to compete with the super-low prices at other local venues. ‘We are not the RSL and we’re not the Middle Pub,’ he says. ‘That’s the gun I’ve stuck to for six years.’ The refreshed menu focuses on fresh, quality meals with more seasonal variation. Even the Pub Classics show Michael’s 5-star cheffing training, with organic Sol bread used for burger buns and herb chat potatoes the standard side (don’t worry, chips are available on request). Vegans and those who eat gluten-free are clearly catered for. New food trends feature, with hemp seeds used in the roasted beetroot salad and poké bowls with either raw tuna or tofu. The restaurant is run separately from the hotel. Michael’s business is Mix Catering (get it – Mick’s/Mix?) and he also offers catering at The Mullum Leagues Club and other venues as well as in-house private

cheffing. Mix Catering also has a vintage food van called Little Bonnie Dot. ‘We did a surprise wedding at the Bruns Picture House recently,’ says Michael. ‘It was under the guise of a 55th birthday party and, when the guests arrived, the couple turned around the Happy Birthday balloons to show the words ‘Getting Married’. One of my staff members, who also thought it was a birthday party, burst into tears!’ Groups are also more than welcome at the Court House. Groups of up to 30 have the option to simply order from the menu like regular patrons or, like groups of more than 30, can arrange a set catering menu. If you are in Mullum for the music festival this weekend, pop into the Court House for both the music and the food. ‘We’ll be doing a special festival menu,’ says Michael. ‘Burgers, salads and tacos – basically anything you can eat standing up!’ Forget standing in the dock of a court house; standing up at a gig with a quality burger in hand sounds like a great way to spend a weekend. The Court House Restaurant at The Court House Hotel, cnr Burringbar & Dalley Sts, Mullumbimby. Open 7 days, 11.30–2 and 5.30–8-ish. Ph: 6684 1550, Facebook: @Courthouse Restaurant

SEVEN

MORE THAN SOMETHING ABOUT KAIIT

I was driving with my 19-year-old daughter the other day, and as usual she had control of the music. Kids ALWAYS control the music. While it can at times subject you to unwanted hours of Kanye or Lil Kim, if you’re lucky your kids will develop a musical taste that will expose you to new and amazing music that you may have overlooked. So on this particular day there’s this incredible voice – absolutely pure soul – there’s a well-executed mix with jazz and neo-soul. I say to my daughter, ‘I love this’. She says, ‘It’s my new favourite artist, Kaiit – she’s from Melbourne’. It rings a bell. I remember she’s playing Mullum Music Festival this year. I can’t wait to tell my daughter that I’m interviewing her. She’s properly impressed. It’s clear Kaiit’s star is on the rise. And rise. And rise. At just 21 it’s clear that this Papua New Guinea-born girl with the clearest vocal I’ve heard in years is going somewhere, fast. Kaiit makes very personal R&B from the comfort of her bedroom. She loves making music; she says, ‘I do what feels right for me. I feel that if I try to please people then the music loses something.’ Live from Her Room has a solid sense of itself. Kaiit mixes honeyed vocals with fierce rhymes and bold eclectic style; it’s no surprise she’s been named Red Bull Music’s Best Rapper under 25! Her song Girl in the Picture tells the story of friendship. ‘It’s about one of my closest home girls ever,’ says Kaiit. ‘She always has my back and is always looking out for me. If I am not doing something right she pulls me up.’ Kaiit is all about surrounding herself with powerful supportive women – she credits her artist mother with being her creative inspiration and foundation. ‘She is the absolute best,’ says Kaiit. ‘I just know she is. She is so welcoming and loving and understanding and caring. I thought everyone’s mums were like that so when I experience or see how other parents can be I am so thankful for Mum. I learnt so much from her.’ Kaiit is born into a musical and storytelling lineage; her father is Papua New Guinean and her mother is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. But her place is very much Melbourne. It’s the place where a girl made the move from making music in her bedroom to playing stages around the country. ‘The music scene in Melbourne has helped me find my own blackness and identity in ways I can’t even fathom. All the stuff with Jill Scott happening really makes you reflect on those monumental moments. Shout out to her, she’s absolutely amazing and she saw so much in me and pushed me to get out there. But I feel like there’re two parts of Live from Her Room, you know, stepping out of my room and going out to perform live. That’s where I got to meet people and they got to listen to me. People knowing my words even before I’ve released… it is super crazy. Melbourne is definitely my home.’ And Kaiit’s greatest musical influences? Amy Winehouse. It’s her go-to music time and time again. ‘I think she was such a hopeless romantic,’ says Kaiit. ‘Her music was so real and she was just hurting – her music really captures me. I may be boring and listen to the same music but every time I hear it I want to hear it again.’ Funny, that’s exactly what I was going to say about Kaiit’s music! Don’t miss this incredible young woman at Mullum Music Festival. She’s definitely an artist to watch in the coming years. And how cool is it to see her now before she’s a megastar! One show only at Mullum Music Festival – FRIDAY at The CIVIC HALL at 6.30pm. For tickets to this amazing little festival go to mullummusicfestival.com.

HOW TO STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: THE GLOBAL SOLUTION

The other day on Facebook a friend of mine posted a meme that read, ‘One Man Killed by a Shark this Year and there’s a push to cull sharks. Up to 60 Women killed by men this year and…’. It’s hard to ignore the sentiment of how little systemic care there is in regards to the death of women. That would be like nearly two people killed a week by sharks. No-one would go into the ocean. Sharks would be hunted down. But why? Not ALL sharks are bad? Must ALL sharks be punished for the one with a taste for human flesh? Swimming in the beautiful waters of Byron Bay this morning I found myself a little anxious about the cloud shadows on the water – then it hit home. It’s not white pointers we should be afraid of. It’s white men. I’m tired of how anaesthetised we are to the body of a woman found on a beach, or in a park, or bludgeoned in her home. I’m appalled by the outrage and the sense of community alarm that our safety is at risk when just one person is killed by a shark. Going into the ocean and complaining about being eaten by a shark is like standing in the middle of a highway and being shocked when you’re hit by a bus. Being killed by a man in your home, in your street, in a public space, that’s what’s outrageous. If we fear sharks, then why aren’t we terrified of men? Let’s imagine a world that reacted with the same intensity to violence against women as it does to the very natural foodchain violence when a shark eats you. So the initial strategy is to set up some man nets. It’s just a trial. I am sorry but we can’t just target the rogue ‘bad’ men. In the stopping of violence good men may be harmed. Apologies to homosexual and trans men who may be netted but this is a crude solution so there will be some by-catch. We can set up the man nets in parks. Places like Tyagarah Beach to catch the wankers and sex pests. The man net will need to go into bars, pubs, schools. Actually the man net needs to go wherever there are men. It’s clear absolute solutions to violence are not without issue. I fear the man net like the shark net may create a sense of safety but it’s too destructive to our overall cohesive social ecology. We could cull. Just bring down the sheer numbers of men. Apparently, they’re everywhere – that’s why going out is so dangerous. Shit, that’s right. Staying home is worse! Tag the ones with AVOs and a history of violent offending. Drone surveillance? But that doesn’t stop rogue first-time offenders. Developing a strategy to stop violence against women is very complex. That’s why no-one has managed to come up with ANYTHING that works. Men keep killing women. If violence against women were bad for tourism I reckon the government might try to do something about it.

IRISH MUSIC MAKES THE SHIFT

There is a wee band of Irish folk who play around the Shire – and nationally – tantalising all with the traditional Irish music hitting the Byron Golf Club next weekend. This event will feature Mark Butler, Mary McEvilly-Butler, Willie McElroy and more! Sunday 25 November, 3–6pm, at The Byron Golf Club. Tickets are $30 (kids under 16 free).

DRUNK MUMS! Melbourne rockers Drunk Mums have returned with a rejuvenated take on the leather-clad boisterous brand of punk rock that has fans frothing, with a brand-new album in Urban Cowboy. Such a return has been marked by a rollicking new single in Phantom Limb – a perfect example of Drunk Mums’ new output: catchy, frenzied, and steeped in rich riffs and

grit. Having built a reputation over the years for their rowdy live shows and impressive knack for riling up their audiences with straight-to-theheart punches of percussion and dirty guitar riffs, it’s no surprise that once you do a Drunk Mums show you can’t turn back. Drunk Mums play the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday, 9pm. Free

DONOVAN BRINGS THE HEART TO BYRON

He’s at home in the waves as he is on the stage. Southern Californian native, sur fer, and musician Donovan Frankenreiter paddles out for a gig at the Hotel Great Northern on Wednesday 21 November. He’s excited about coming back out to Oz with a whole lot of interesting projects ahead of him. ‘The whole family is coming. We love it. I am also going to Melbourne to spend time with David Bromley and do some painting. I have always been inspired by David but this will be the first time we dive in and do some work together. Five days of painting followed by an art show!’

Like music, painting is something that the onetime professional surfer didn’t find until later in life. Frankenreiter seems to be very much in the flow of his creative expression – taking risks to try things that most people would shy away from.

‘I didn’t start writing and recording songs until I was 30,’ says Frankenreiter. ‘I am really into trying things I have never done before. Music was forever life changing. You do it and you move on but you keep creating.’ For Frankenreiter, making music is about finding when it feels right. ‘I don’t wake up every day and write a song,’ he says. ‘I create things when they happen. I decided I would never be complacent. It isn’t easy for me to write a song. Fuck, I can barely write 10 songs for a new album then I meet these people who have so many songs!’ That may be so but Frankenreiter has released seven full-length albums. Donovan Frankenreiter will bring his honey-thick vocals, masterful guitar work and newest album The Heart to audiences at the Hotel Great Northern in Byron Bay on Wednesday 21 November at 8pm. Tix $40.70 for general, a VIP Meet and Greet and VIP Soundcheck and Q&A also available! Go to oztix.com.au.

The onus of responsibility for safety is ALWAYS on the woman, not on society. They say in situations of violence, ‘why didn’t she leave?’ Violence against women is cultural – across the globe. So here’s an idea: why don’t we ALL leave? It’s time for some out-of-the-box strategy. Literally. I’m not a fan of violent solutions. Violence doesn’t stop violence. Let’s cull male violence through sex. Let’s all stop fucking men. That’s every heterosexual woman in the world closing her legs, her door to paradise, right now. It’s a sex strike. It needs to go for at least a year, maybe two. Maybe ten. It needs to go AS LONG AS IT TAKES. That means all men who want to be with women HAVE to be agents of change. Men have to take responsibility for the behaviour of other men. The onus is on them. I like this solution. I first read about it in a play called Lysistrata by Aristophanes. The women went about ending the Peloponnesian war by refusing to have sex until it stopped. It was a comedy. But was it really? Our vaginas are powerful. We created men. And men need to start respecting that. The sex strike is not as ludicrous as it sounds, and where it has been properly enacted it actually works. In 2003 Leymah Gbowee organised a sex strike to end Liberia’s brutal civil war. Not only did the warlords end the violence, Gbowee was later awarded a Nobel Peace Prize! For stopping violence with the power of the vagina! It seems so obvious! All this time we’ve felt like powerless victims, but as a community of women worldwide we are sitting on the solution! So I’m up for a sex strike. Who’s in?

How has that new-found almost â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mainstreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notoriety impacted on you, your performances, and the kind of acts to perform, write, and direct? It has always surprised me the extent to which my Hanky Panky act was embraced by the mainstream, almost from the get go. But I have never chased the mainstream dream. I have always just done whatever takes my fancy. However, it has given me a lot of well-paid gigs over the years, and for that I am very grateful. Looking back, what do you think it was that drew you to the theatre and this particular side of the theatre? On a bad dayâ&#x20AC;Ś because I am a show-off and an exhibitionist and an insecure attention seeker. On a good dayâ&#x20AC;Ś because I am an innate provocateur, with a playful sense of humour and a curiosity about the world that I want to express in some way. And I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combo of all these things. You have been involved in lots of projects from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;side of stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; co-directing Office Party, and co-producing Show Off and OAP. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on behind the scenes for you at the moment? Do you have shows on the drawing board that you can reveal a little about? Yes, I have a big new project that will premiere at Perth Festival in February. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show with my mum. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 83 and was diagnosed with early-stage dementia 10 months ago. We are making the show not because of her diagnosis but despite it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brave, delicate and exciting project. I also have a number of directing projects on the go, one just up the road with Brisbane artist Leah Shelton. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fab! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re based in the UK but you have performed here in Australia many, many times to great reviews and beaming audiences. What keeps bringing you back to Australia? Is it the audiences? The theatre scene? Or something as simple as our beaches? I guess Australian audiences have always got my sense of humour. Also my work is pretty direct and visceral and unrepressed. I think Aussies appreciate that too. And yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a BIG fan of the beaches! For young performers out there who have a passion for theatre and are doing the things young theatre enthusiasts do, what would you say to them? Do you have any words of wisdom for those following your lead into the spotlight? Go and see stuff, as much as you can. Some will be great, some will be shit, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all helpful in guiding you to understanding the type of work you want to make. Catch Ursula and the rest of the outrageous Cheeky Cabaret lineup for another night to remember at Cheeky Cabaret at the Brunswick Picture House on Friday for $40 and Saturday $45, both shows at 7pm.

TWO WOMEN, ONE VOICE: ROW BACK THE LEVY

VERY CORNY COMEDY Did you come to the Corndale Comedy Night in March? If you did, you would have witnessed Jonathan Atherton performing at his best, and would know what a fantastic night it was! After spending some eight years establishing, developing, and encouraging standup comedy in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, Jonathan is back and delivering some of his best shows ever! Jonathan returns as the comedy MC for Corndale Hall for another show in November, featuring several rising stars in Australia’s comedy scene. Headline is Lindsay Webb, considered Australia’s best crowd worker and a one-time holder of the Guinness Book of Records longest-ever comedy show! Stepping up are new talents including the likes of Ting Lim, a young female comic hailing from Brisbane, via Singapore. The Corndale Comedy Night is on Saturday, kicking off at 7.30pm. Cost is $30 with an intermission supper provided. Around halftime, there is an open microphone, with a golden drinking voucher for the winning joke from members of the audience! This comedy night is the major fundraiser for the Hall’s annual public liability! Bookings: Richard 6688 2052 or Peter 0414 181 538.

Irishwomen Cara Robinson (Hat Fitz & Cara) and Áine Tyrrell have forged a friendship through a shared longing and love through their love of their home country. The single came to Robinson in the darkness of the night – she passed the chorus onto Tyrrell saying, ‘A song came through me but it’s for you’. And that’s how Áine Tyrrell’s new single Row Back the Levy was born. For Tyrrell the song embodies the similar politics and passions of women from across the Irish divide. ‘We are on one island so at the end of the day there is always going to be a sense of grief and righteous anger about a border that I think Cara and I captured in our song. This delicate political situation feels in some ways unresolvable, yet everyone gets up every day and gets on with trying to build a future of hope North and South.’ This is a song about healing the divide, in a country where people identify as Irish, Northern Irish and British. Then of course there’s the Catholic and Protestant thing. ‘The torn sense of identity is really at the core of so much grief,’ says Tyrrell. ‘North and South and not just Ireland, but around the world.’ For Robinson and Tyrrell it is about looking to the future with a whole new feeling of hope. ‘Some old patterns of hatred are so ingrained they may never disappear, but we can do something about our future generations and how they view their country and the world.

Art is a beautiful way to look at our long-held views and gently inform change,’ says Áine. ‘It has saddened me to meet so many generations of people from Northern Ireland around the world who have had to emigrate just so that their children don’t grow up with the long-term generational hatred that exists there. It has saddened me to meet so many generations of people around the world from both sides of the border that continue in those old patterns. The divide travels around the world with them and all of us. Row Back the Levy is a song and it is also Cara’s and my wish in music to be that same universal language that my dad taught me so young. The future of the divide is finding a way to leave all that hatred at sea and bring the humanness back home.’ Maybe in Ireland and all around the world we can Row Back the Levy. Áine Tyrrell and Hat Fitz and Cara are performing at Mullum Music Festival this weekend so make sure you catch them. But you can do more! Tyrrell is The Echo’s chosen act for the Falls Foster a Band comp! Make sure you vote for her! Voting is now open at fallsfestival.com/byron-bay/ goings-on/foster-a-band/.

ARIES: The sparks likely to fly this week are delightful ones, like sparklers on a party cake. And aren’t you just beginning to feel the first stirrings of some new and exciting exploration? The planet of bigger and better in the sign of mind, body and spirit adventuring says bring it on. TAURUS: With retrograde love planet Venus shining a light into the relationship cellar, it’s worth reevaluating your partnering parameters. Not in one? No problem: this eyes-wide-open transit helps clarify who and what you truly, madly, deeply want. And for teamed-up Taurans, where some graceful changes might be made. GEMINI: Communications are warmly cordial with Venus and Mars both in fellow air signs speaking each other’s language, and your primo year of teaming up is already off and running. Tick as much as you can off the to-do list this week before Mercury retro for the next three chucks glitches into the mix. CANCER: So you’ll be able to cruise smoothly through Mercury retrograde without system overload, take advantage of the brief window of opportunity the current holding pattern offers for catching up on backlogs, getting up to date with overdue responses, paying bills, making calls: all the ordinary chores that mount up so swiftly.

BEST GET STUFF DONE EARLY THIS WEEK BEFORE MERCURY RETROGRADES FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS IN THE SIGN OF COMBUSTIBLE CHEMISTRY AND DUMMY SPITS… LIBRA: Retro Venus has been delving into and ironing out relationship kinks lately, and now this week fires off romantic rockets for Librans who are in one. Or just looking. Or not even looking… surprise! Any extra consideration given to the way you play the mating game could pay off more quickly than you think. SCORPIO: Moderation’s an admirable but possibly unrealistic goal with give-me-more Jupiter in the sign of expansion, plus the sweet spot of Mars and Venus having a planetary pash. It’s a premium boudoir-activities week and your attraction magnet’s pumping, so go ahead and taste it: seems a shame to waste it. SAGITTARIUS: It’s certainly worth doing things differently this week, especially where friends and partners are concerned. A spicy Mars/Venus alignment is warming up what may have cooled down over time, and with planetary provocateur Uranus in your house of glamour reigniting spontaneity, you’re brimming with spritz and verve – or Veuve… CAPRICORN: Welcome to what’s looking like a big news week in your people department, with someone surprisingly stepping up to play an important part in your life story. You needn’t even make an effort, because everything’s already working on your behalf – though it mightn’t arrive in a package you recognise, so stay open.

LEO: As the wilder shores of life start singing their siren song, this sassy week has plenty of sizzle in its talk and wiggle in its walk. Wise Lions will make time to enjoy these inviting vibes before the cosmic climate heats up to more scorchy proportions and less pleasant temperatures.

AQUARIUS: Rock-and-roll Mars in your sign taking a walk on the wild side this week with Venus the vamp could flick your reset switch on romantic action. Or at least have you thinking about taking the next step in some kind of interesting pas de deux when midweek Aquarius moon arrives at the planetary party.

VIRGO: Some river-deep, mountain-high emotions are likely to be surging for tribe Virgo right now. But Venus is making something super-clear, finally giving you the green light to either move forward or let go of certain partnership plans and isn’t that a relief? Single? This week says probably not for long.

PISCES: The Piscean urge to merge, especially one on one, could be peaking this week. Word on the astral grapevine? Uranus advising it’s time to energise tepid connections, renovate stale arrangements, ginger up your social salsa, add some pep to partnerships and slip a little chili into the romantic mix.

CINEMA REVIEWS

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB

Why is it that the bad guys in movies such as this always go to such elaborate and invariably futile lengths to eliminate somebody? With wires and explosives, they blow up all four floors of the building where our heroine lives, only for her to survive by jumping into the bath. Could they not have just knocked on the door and shot her? Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, is back, as indestructible as ever. This time she is played by the stunningly bland Claire Foy. In creating her character, Foy has perhaps half-a-dozen lines to deliver and, to be fair, those lines appear to have been written as a means of moving the narrative from one chase and fight to the next. Otherwise, the plot is pushed along via an intensely boring obsession with cyber-hacking that can only appeal to gamers. Introduced into the narrative, as if we really care, is Lisbeth’s back-story, involving a sexually abusive father and her blonde sister, Camilla (Sylvia Hoeks), who suffered under his tyranny for sixteen years. There is also an abducted little boy-genius who holds the secret to passwords that keep the world safe (or something like that), and an African-American agent (Lakeith Stanfield) who has been sent from Washington to Stockholm with strict instructions to do his best Will Smith impersonation. An attractive female

government figure and the even prettier Sverrir Gudnason as the journo from the Dragon flicks, are thrown into the mix, in an attempt to make ‘who can you trust?’ a factor. Everybody speaks English, but with a Swedish accent (sub-titles are SO hard, aren’t they?), and it certainly is cold over there. I wanted to walk out with at least half an hour still to go, but my companion was sleeping so peacefully that I didn’t have the heart to wake her. And in any case, if I did I would have missed the blatant product placement for Ducati motorcycles in the last scene. You will see worse movies this year, but not many.

BOY ERASED It’s depressing to think that there are institutions devoted to ‘converting’ homosexuals to heterosexuality. Worse, it is infuriating to learn that thirty-six states of the US allow for minors to be interned in such loathsome places. Not surprisingly, the underpinning ethos of many of these establishments goes hand in glove with interpretations of the Bible made by its feeble-minded, god-addled devotees. Written and directed by Joel Edgerton, this confronting, crusading movie is based on the true story of Garrard Conley, whose life was nearly ruined by corrective therapy. Marshall Eamons (Russell Crowe) is a car salesman and pastor in Arkansas. He and his doting wife Nancy (Nicole Kidman) sign up their son Jared (Lucas Hedges) for a sort of spiritual boot camp that they hope will save the boy from his sinful sexual leanings. Running the course is Victor Sykes (Edgerton), as bullying and bigoted in his attitude to those entrusted to his care as Eamons is blindly unaccepting of them. Sykes’s mission is to show the young sinners the error of their ways, though it seems barely credible that anybody could seriously align masculinity with the way a bloke stands – in one class, he tells one of the boys to not sit with his legs crossed. We are talking about Christians of the MidWest, however (and Sydney’s arcane Anglicans?), so in a world becoming more polarised by the day, any idiocy is possible. Visually, the film is dimly lit – I wanted to adjust the brightness all the way through – and the pace is slow, but the performances are exact and the characters’ relationships and power plays thoroughly absorbing. Crowe perfectly understates his role, making it impossible to hate the father, despite his boneheaded piety, and Hodges (who was also the gay guy in Lady Bird) is especially impressive in the part of a young man struggling to understand exactly who he is, while flaxen-haired Troye Sivan, as fellow attendee 66 855 828 Gary, delivers the best line ooo&ha_`gmk]Û a[ck&[ge&Ym when he advises Jared to ‘fake it till you make it’. 1 Skinners Shoot Rd, Byron Bay

IN MEMORIAM

On The Horizon

Sweet LILY is a fresh face, having only just arrived at the centre, hopefully for a short stay. She is really keen to get a proper home. Lily is a welcoming, quiet girl who is very well adjusted and friendly. Such bad luck to lose one’s home when only three years old. She has no hang-ups and will be sure to give plenty of great furry companionship. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Third-grade Byron XI Ʒſşŕ ƱşŔĕŕ ćşƱōĕſƆ `ëĈŊƆşŕ 0ŔĕſƷ ƱĶŕƆ prove their versatility ƆŔëƆĲȒƖż ĎĕſćƷ ĈşōōĕĈƐƆ ǕſƆƐ ƱĶŕ Ross Kendall Byron Bay’s Second XI endured their first loss of the season to Cudgen and now lie in third place on the Coastal League table. Despite a great all-round effort from Matt Irwin, who bowled 5/26 off his seven overs and backed this up with 51 runs, the Byron Bay side fell well short of the required total. Cuden batted first at home on Reg Dalton Oval and knocked up 9/182 with solid runs scored across the top order where H Moase top-scored with 46. Levi Shouldice also bowled economically for the Byron side returning 1/19 off eight overs. In reply the Byron batsmen struggled to convert starts. Only Irwin and Toby Schott (19) reached double figures. Dylan Bailey at just 12 years old made his debut in the Coastal League for Byron and scored four before being run out but featured in a 37-run partnership with Irwin. Byron reached 128 in 31 overs.

With the loss Byron Bay are in third place on the table with 30 competition points behind Terranora (33 points) and Cudgen (39 points), both of which have a game in hand.

Thirds There was better news from the thirds, who collected their first win of the season by beating Mullumbimby Brunswick at home at the Byron Recreation Grounds. Captain Jason Trisley lead the way with the ball and the bat. He was instrumental in keepng the Mullum Brunswick total to 114 from 37 overs with bowling figures of 5/9 off his five overs. He backed this up by opening the batting with 44 runs. Tim Goodhind (24) and L Bridle (24) both supported him as the team reached the total with 20 overs to spare. The first win for the thirds leaves them even with Mullum Bruns on 14 competition points and above Alstonville Leftovers (13 points), but well behind undefeated competition leaders Tintenbar-East Ballina Fire on 32 points.

Shores United Women’s Open Day Shores United will be registering their first-ever women’s soccer team in next year’s Football Far North Coast competition and are looking for any girls/women aged 15 and up to join. An open day will be held this Saturday November 17 at the Shara Boulevard field

Robbie Marshall (red) and Brad Burch share the air as they demonstrate a backflip train. Photo Jeff Dawson The Showtime FMX motorcross team of Brad Burch and Robbie Marshall demonstrated a series of manouvres across a 25-metre jump at the Mullumbimby Show last weekend. Brad is a freestyle rider who has toured with Nitro Circus while Robbie

competes in the Australian Supercross championships, where he finished the 2018 season in seventh place. Mastering the jumps has taken years of practice and still requires a rigorous fitness and training routine. ‘It is a full-time job,’ he said.

Backlash What the heck is happening with our elected councillors and Byron’s CBD? They rammed through a policy on September 20 (see page one story) that could provide passage for massive fourstorey developments up to the end of Jonson Street. At least there will be public exhibition on the plans. Meanwhile, neighbours of the massive Jonson/Browning streets proposal are of course unimpressed. And because it is just over the $20m mark, it will be decided by the pro-development JRPP instead of elected councillors. Well played! Q Q Q Q

Do we need more transparency from the ‘Greens’ mayor and councillors? The Echo certainly believes so. When mayor Simon Richardson was asked: ‘Are you prepared to provide a public mayoral diary – as NSW ministers do – to engender trust and transparency in the community when you meet with developers’, Cr Richardson just replied: ‘Sure’. Watch the space for when or if that happens… Q Q Q Q

More than 500 people floated around Brunswick in doughnuts, the inflatable, floaty kind, from the Bruns Bakery last weekend. The bakery put on its second annual float to celebrate its birthday, and raised $3,885 for the Brunswick Surf Club. $500 of that figure was donated by the Cool Kids Day Care Centre in Ocean Shores. Photo Jeff ‘Less Dough, More Nut’ Dawson attitude with the press. Last week he snapped, ‘Stop asking questions from the Labor Party’ to an ABC journo. Not only does that evade the question, but is thuggish and plain ugly behaviour. In these times of policy vacuums led by hollow salesmen, all journalists need to support each other and keep on asking tough questions. It’s for the common good, right? Q Q Q Q

Congrats to top local journo and BayFM presenter Mia Armitage, who won the Community Broadcasting Association Radio Award for Excellence in Journalism. See page 6 for more. Q Q Q Q

Smell the bacon! The Nationals are clearly pork barrelling this electorate in the 2019 election lead up, with cash handouts everywhere (see page 6). Pork barrelling is a political term where government funds are splashed at projects designed to win votes in a particular region. Until Greens MP Tamara Smith was elected for the seat of Ballina in 2015, The

Nationals’ Don Page held it for several epochs. Now’s the time to focus on what the Liberals-Nationals, Labor, Greens and independents stand for. And if we don’t vote Nats, will the pork still flow?

Policy matters much more than cash handouts, and The Echo will be of course digging deep and closely examining your NSW political offerings in coming months. Q Q Q Q
