THE TIBET EFFECT 

A FUNDRAISING CONCERT FOR BYRON’S WORLD PEACE STUPA 

World renowned Tenzin 

Choegyal is a traditional 

Tibetan musician whose 

extraordinary vocal ability and 

diverse musical talents have 

enchanted audiences around the 

globe. 

Lhamo Dolma, from Amdo, Tibet, 

with her hauntingly beautiful voice, 

can transport the listener to the 

highest reaches of the Himalayan 

peaks. A polished performer, she 

was invited to sing for His Holiness 

The Dalai Lama this year at his 

teachings in Melbourne. 

Joining Lhamo and Tenzin will 

be Byron Shire performers Ian 

Draaisma and Elyjah McLeod; both 

exceptional heartfelt performers 

and contemporary throat singers. 

To take the concert to another 

level will be performance drawing 

artist Kellie O’Dempsey and 

tagtool animator Michael Dick, 

crafting a spectacle of the NOW 

via digital projection into the 

AUTHORISED TO QUESTION AUTHORITY SINCE 1986 

auditorium. Together they will 

create vast illuminated works that 

are the direct response of the 

collective energy inspired by the 

performance. 

The performance is a combined 

community, Tibetan initiative to 

help raise funds for the building of 

the Kalachakra Stupa at the Crystal 

Castle, Montecollum. 

Incredible opportunity to see all 

these artists in one concert at the 

Byron Community Centre.

AUDIT 

Mayor pressures staff over maintenance 

Why are our public toilets fi lthy and 

unsightly graffi ti everywhere? 

According to Mayor Jan Barham 

it’s because staff have not followed 

councillors’ resolutions, some of 

which go back to 2008. Furthermore 

she claims that a rate-rise specifi cally 

aimed at maintenance is available for 

such projects. 

Ignored requests 

Th e mayor’s exasperation became 

apparent at last week’s Council meeting 

as she went up against the general 

manager and fellow councillors, 

claiming years of ignored requests. 

‘Every year I have sent emails to 

staff asking for action and have had 

little to no response,’ she said. 

‘I recognise our reponsibility to 

tourism and agree with the Byron 

United’s (Byron’s Chamber of Commerce) 

consistent claims to clean up 

the town’s image.’ 

A motion put forward by the mayor 

called for the re-establishment of a 

Byron Bay town centre works team, 

which would provide ‘ownership over 

the maintenance of the town.’ 

‘Th ere used to be work teams; both 

a north and south team. Whitsunday 

Council has one, but we are using 

contractors,’ she says. 

‘Th e Byron Bay maintenance and 

risk assessment’ motion was knocked 

back and instead an amendment was 

put forward by Crs Staples and Tucker, 

which passed. 

It asks that Council receive a report 

with updates on Byron Bay Landscape 

and Renovation Plan works implementation 

since 2009, and identify 

the balance of expenditure for the 

plan and an overview of annual maintenance 

funding for maintenance of 

Byron Bay, including previous specifi 

c rate increases, footpath dining 

and crown reserve commercial funds. 

A report is also requested on a risk 

assessment analysis and disability access 

of Byron Bay town including the 

Main Beach Reserve area. 

Some councillors were clearly uncomfortable 

with the mayor dominating 

the chamber during the debate. 

Cr Basil Cameron at one point said 

to the mayor, ‘Maybe this suggests 

you need a diff erent approach – perhaps 

less talking over others and listening 

would be more helpful.’ 

At another point, Cr Ross Tucker 

barked, ‘Mayor – don’t interupt the 

speaker!’ Upon speaking against the 

motion, Cr Tucker said, ‘It won’t be 

done… and [a report] will achieve 

nothing.’ 

Cr Diane Woods also said she was 

against, and ‘astounded’ with, the 

mayor’s motion. ‘We have asked for 

this every year.’ She added that Ocean 

Shores residents told her they make 

up 25 per cent of the Shire’s ratepayers 

and have complained to her about 

Council being Byron-centric. ‘We 

need more staff and more money to 

clean up the fi lth and graffi ti,’ she said. 

Cr Simon Richardson, however, offered 

the mayor support. ‘At least the 

mayor is trying,’ he said. ‘I can’t recall 

any other councillors pushing for this. 

‘Th e motion is to ask for an update 

aft er two and half years.’ While admitting 

that staff could be overworked, 

he says, ‘Councillors have waited a 

long-time for the report.’ 

Staff response 

In its defence, Council’s executive 

manager of community infrastructure 

Phil Holloway told The Echo that 

since July 2008, over $334,000 had 

been spent on improving Byron Bay 

town centre. 

‘This included an accumulative 

$200,000 from the 2008 special rate 

variation and an additional $150,800 

from Section 94 developer contributions. 

Th ere is still approximately a 

$27,000 available from this year’s allocation 

to spend.’ 

He said a report on the Byron Bay 

Town Landscaping Plan and Maintenance 

Plan will be reported to Council 

in December detailing previous 

works completed and possible additional 

works.

Chasing the Byron aff ordable housing timeline 

Simeon Michaels 

If you think securing a place to live in 

Byron is diffi cult, the squeeze is actually 

nationwide. 

In 2009, the National Housing Supply 

Council (NHSC) estimated that 

the national supply gap was 178,400 

dwellings. By 2014, the NHSC says 

that gap will have increased to 

308,000 dwellings. 

Byron Shire Council recently approved 

an assessment of land in Bayshore 

Drive, with potential to build 

affordable housing under a jointownership 

model. 

And a proposal for Butler Street 

proposal is the latest in Council’s attempts 

to address the Shire’s growing 

aff ordable housing crisis. 

To date, nothing has come of a similar 

process at Station Street, Mullum- 

 

bimby, two years aft er it was slated. 

Council has also approved a development 

under the state government’s 

SEPP (Aff ordable Housing). 

‘In August, Council approved a 

mixed development of shops and residential 

living in Suff olk Park under 

these provisions,’ said Council’s executive 

manager of planning Ray Darney. 

‘Within this development three of 

the units where classifi ed as aff ordable 

housing. 

‘Th is means they will be registered 

under the National Rental Aff ordability 

Scheme and rented at 75 per cent of 

market value.’ 

Suff olk Park project 

Prior to the State SEPP, Council also 

approved Agcorp’s 52-unit development 

next to the Suff olk Park BP. 

The development creates supply 

p17 

at the lower end of the market, but 

Council placed no conditions on sale 

price or rental aff ordability. 

Stage-one of Agcorp’s project is now 

complete, and a demonstration home 

opened for public inspection recently. 

Prices start at $420,000.

Rally for public land 

A rally against the planned Brunswick 

Heads land grab by the state government 

is being planned for Sunday November 

13 between 10 and 1pm on the 

Terrace (the Tweed St end). 

Co-organiser Sean O’Meara says, 

‘Pass the word and come for a “walk 

in the Park” to let the bureaucrats in 

Sydney know we won’t let our beautiful 

parklands and foreshores be stolen 

from us so they can develop them and 

make a quick buck.’

Celebrating life and death carnivale 

With so many events occurring 

in our Shire on 11.11.11, the 

most unusual of these surely 

must be the forthcoming Carnivale 

of Life and Death to 

be held at the Mullumbimby 

Civic Hall this weekend. 

‘Th e aim is to highlight creativity, 

movement and colour 

into our experiences of loss of 

our loved ones and also our 

own mortality,’ says co-organiser 

Zenith Virago. 

‘Being the fi ft h year for the 

Day of the Dead Ceremony, 

we wanted to create something 

bigger and more diverse – to 

offer a better “way to go” to 

everyone in any of our various 

communities.’ 

Three day event 

Th e festival is from November 

Friday 11 to Sunday 13, and 

will be held at Mullumbimby 

Civic Hall and Heritage Park. 

On Friday night at 8pm, the 

Dying to Dance event will feature 

local fusion dance band, 

Ali Baba. 

In June 2010 Mullumbimby 

man Vincent (Vinny) Kenny 

voluntarily launched a nonprofit 

aid project in Uganda 

aft er visiting the small village 

of Buyambi while travelling in 

the African nation. 

Mr Kenny said he was so 

moved by the villagers and their 

struggling plight over the last 

three decades of violence and 

high HIV that, in close consultation 

with community leaders, 

he made the decision to set up 

Th e Buyambi Love Aid Project. 

‘Th e project improves educational 

and health conditions 

for local folks and its accomplishments 

have already been 

considerable,’ says Mr Kenny. 

‘Th ree new classrooms now 

educate 93 extra students every 

year and women’s health services 

have been greatly improved. 

‘Th e Project also takes under 

its wings special cases of 

hardship such as that of 15year-old 

Recheal who suff ered 

severe third-degree burns in 

a Kampala domestic fire last 

September. Th rough unrelated 

circumstances Recheal was also 

orphaned a month later when 

her 30-year-old single mum 

died of pneumonia. 

Recheal’s plight 

‘As a result of her injuries 

Recheal now requires complex 

surgery to save her left arm and 

for facial reconstruction. 

‘Under the project’s banner, 

we are seeking the public’s support 

to bring Recheal to Australia 

for surgery and to meet 

her long-term care needs. 

‘Small steps travel far and 

your support will pave Recheal 

“I never want to 

have to cross the 

street to avoid you.” 

David Runciman 

For the last 16 years, 

David’s company has 

manufactured blinds, 

security doors, screens, 

awnings and patio covers 

for homes and businesses throughout Byron 

Shire. He never wants to avoid a customer in 

the street, so he insists on fi rst-class quality 

and backs up what he says. Call Dave for a

way. She is “Humanity’s 

daughter,” brought before us, 

willing and so grateful. 

‘Th e project and its donors are 

proud to support her life in this 

“win-win” endeavor. Helping 

Recheal provides all supporters 

a practical symbol of empowerment 

within our global community,’ 

Mr Kenny said.

Do you want a plastic bag with that? 

Claims have emerged that Forests 

NSW have been unable to 

supply timbre commitments, 

and have subsequently been 

sued by Boral. 

According to the North 

Coast Environment Council 

(NCEC), court documents obtained 

by the group, ‘confi rm 

that Forests NSW are unable 

to meet timber commitments 

and are having to pay out mills 

for timber that never existed’. 

NCEC president Susie Russell 

said that ever since the 

NSW government gave new 

Wood Supply Agreements for 

timber from public land to 

Acclaimed environmental artist 

John Dahlsen has off ered a 

sculpture on loan to the community. 

A camphor laurel treetrunk 

that grew in Tyagarah became 

a piece of artwork entitled 

‘Monumental Art Piece’ 

and looks to be installed on a 

temporary/loan basis at Main 

Beach in Byron Bay. 

Th e sculpture was made over 

a two year period between 

millers in 2004, Forests NSW 

have not been able to supply the 

committed volumes. 

‘At the time the new Wood 

Supply Agreements were issued 

there was abundant evidence 

that Forests NSW’s resource estimates 

were grossly overstated 

and unreliable,’ Ms Russell said. 

‘Unfortunately at that time 

the NSW government removed 

a clause that was in previous 

agreements that allowed timber 

commitments to be reduced in 

line with yield reviews. 

She says that it was then that 

timber giant Boral initiated 

proceedings in the Supreme 

2008 and mid 2010, and uses 

organic oil, beeswax and concrete 

plinths. 

It was considered at this 

week’s Council meeting, with 

all Councillors in favour of the 

idea. Cr Woods said she was 

‘blown away by the [ArtScape] 

sculpture show and this is a 

wonderful gesture – I look forward 

to seeing it on the foreshore’.

2010, claiming Forests NSW 

have been unable to supply 

them with contracted timber 

volumes since 2002. 

‘Th e court documents show 

that Forests NSW were forced 

to pay Boral half a million dollars 

in 2006 for undersupply 

to that time. Since then supply 

has been declining and Forests 

NSW now owe Boral almost 

twice as much again.

at Artscape Biennial in Byron

‘When you add up land acquisition, 

council approval 

fees and construction costs, 

that’s what it costs to build a 

new home – we can’t do it any 

cheaper than that,’ says Steve 

Agnew, CEO of Agcorp. 

He claims he needs to sell 12 

of the units in stage one before 

proceeding with stage two. 

Most recently in 2010, 

Council voted to allow secondary 

dwellings (granny 

fl ats) in residential areas. Following 

a collective community 

groaning, Council also 

deleted requirements for s96 

contributions in April this 

year. 

Since then, ‘over 20 development 

applications have been 

received,’ says Mr Darney. 

Council’s facilitation of secondary 

dwellings in residential 

areas raises the issue of 

Byron Shires most obvious, 

and controversial, solution to 

aff ordable housing – secondary 

dwellings in rural areas. 

over-logging plantations, cutting 

trees before they mature, 

increasing logging intensities, 

logging stream buff ers, logging 

trees and areas required to be 

retained for threatened species 

and buying timber from private

Science a gas as CSIRO visits school 

Coal-seam gas blueprint launched by Nationals 

Federal leader of Th e Nationals, 

Warren Truss, has just released 

a blueprint for coal-seam gas 

development in Australia. 

‘Managed properly,’ he says, 

‘coal-seam gas has the potential 

to revitalise parts of regional 

Australia, delivering a new economic 

boom. 

‘Poorly managed, it could 

become an environmental and 

social disaster.’ 

Five principles 

Mr Truss says a set of five 

principles were formulated 

aft er Th e Nationals adopted a 

coal-seam gas policy in August. 

Th ey are: 

1. That no coal-seam gas 

development should proceed 

where it poses a signifi cant impact 

to the quality of groundwater 

or surface-water systems. 

It must be absolutely clear that 

no coal-seam gas development 

should occur unless it is proven 

safe for the environment. 

2. Prime agricultural land is 

an increasingly important natural 

asset. It must be protected 

from activities that destroy its 

capacity to deliver food security 

– not only for our nation, 

but for a hungrier world, for 

generations to come. 

Yoga aid challenge for Byron 

Yoga Aid is an international 

non-profit supported by a 

small group of yoga and global 

change advocates. It is aimed 

at connecting yoga and charity, 

enabling the ‘giving’ mentality 

cultivated in yoga practice to 

take action across the world. 

The challenge is the way 

this giving community comes 

together, through special, two- 

hour yoga practices held in hundreds 

of locations worldwide.

World-renowned pianist Roger 

Woodward in concert 

Acclaimed international musician 

Roger Woodward will 

be performing at the Byron 

Community Centre Theatre 

on Wednesday November 16. 

He was recently described in 

the London Guardian newspaper 

as a ‘genius… Woodward 

plays with astonishing calm.’ 

Woodward was recently appointed 

founding director of 

the School of Music and Dance 

at San Francisco State University 

where he is currently profes- 

sor of keyboard performance, 

practice and music history. 

At the end of May 2011, he 

made fi ve appearances at the 

international Festival of Reims,

to Byron Shire Council’s 

community survey. 

Chair of the draft Community

group, Cr Simon Richardson,

been fantastic but Council is 

still keen to hear from more 

community residents. 

‘In the past three days we’ve 

received 250 surveys from the 

survey being inserted into the 

excellence in communications in 

the past 15 months. 

Mr Rayner, 59, said the advance 

notice of his retirement 

would provide suffi cient time 

for council to recruit a replacement 

before a new council is 

elected in September 2012, and 

would avoid any crossover in 

the recruitment process.

decision that I have made – life 

is short and it is important to 

always keep that in perspective,’

Mullum pool push for solar heating 

Catherine Baker 

When the ‘Mullumbimby 

Baths’ were offi cially opened 

in 1967, the then NSW minister 

for public works said that no 

other ‘baths’ in the state had 

been built so entirely by volunteers. 

He paid tribute to all the 

tradesmen, parents, teachers 

and grandparents of the Brunswick 

District for helping to 

make such an ambitious learnto-swim-facility 

available. 

At the end of a lengthy campaign, 

the Mullumbimby Baths 

Committee was able to hand 

over the $60,000 pool debtfree 

to Mullumbimby Municipal 

Council in 1971. 

Several years later when the

break down, volunteers once

again began looking into the 

idea to extend the pool to an 

Olympic 50-metre facility. 

Fundraising began in 1984, 

and the community responded. 

By 1992 the Mullumbimby 

Pool Extension Fund Committee 

had raised $100,000 selling 

raffl e tickets and suchlike. 

The state government 

matched that sum dollar for 

dollar. Although the Byron 

Shire Council confirmed its 

commitment to enlarge the 

pool at this time, there were 

still four years to go and a 

number of hurdles to clear. 

But the fundraisers never let 

up, increasing the community 

contribution to our current 

Olympic pool to $180,000. 

Not bad indeed, for a town 

the size of Mullumbimby. 

Revelations of relationships 

revealed in new book 

Local author, life coach and 

mother of four boys, Pollyanna 

Darling, has just published a 

new book, The Relationship 

Revelation. 

Drawn from Pollyanna’s life 

coaching work and her own 

journey from a ‘dismal relationship 

reality to a beautiful 

connection with another human 

being,’ The Relationship 

Revelation gives the reader 

powerful tools to shift out of 

old patterns and limiting beliefs 

and into creating the intimate 

relationship of his/her dreams. 

Mandy Nolan says of the

methods such as doctors and

Last year Lismore Base Hospital 

was one of the worst-performing 

hospitals in the state, 

with 3.4 for cases for every 

10,000 bed days between April 

1 and June 30. The national 

benchmark is 2.0. 

A quick check on the website 

shows that this fi gure has 

improved signifi cantly to 1.46 

during the period 1 July 2010 

to 30 June 2011, equating to 15 

infections in 102,716 bed days. 

However, that’s not the end 

of the story. As in any authentic 

community eff ort, the story 

doesn’t just stop. It evolves. 

So – now we have this sparkling 

facility, offi cially opened 

in 1996. Th e next question is: 

Can the pool go solar heated? 

With it closed for four 

months every year, this valuable 

asset is under-utilised. 

Th ankfully the current crop 

of volunteers continuing the 

community tradition couldn’t 

agree more. Th e Friends For 

Heating Mullum Pool, Inc. (the 

FFHMP) formed in May 2010, 

and have actively lobbied for 

such a facility. 

Th e FFHMP has been given 

an estimate of $600,000 for a 

solar heat-pump system that 

will feed electricity back into 

Not only is this a 50 per cent 

improvement but it beat two 

other hospitals in the region. 

Th e Tweed hospital had a ratio 

of 1.65, or 15 infections in 

90,654 bed days; Byron scored 

1.7, although that equated to just 

one infection in 5,869 bed days. 

By comparison, Ballina 

scored 0.75, relating to two infections

Wild dog control has begun in 

Billinudgel Nature Reserve near

be in place until November 

30, 2011.

permitted in the Reserve at any 

time,’ Mr Hofmeyer said. 

‘1080 baits are lethal to domestic 

dogs and given the 

proximity of Billinudgel Nature 

Staph infection rates improve 

Reserve to Ocean Shores, people 

are reminded that domestic 

animals must be kept under 

control at all times, including 

at night’, he said. 

Mr Hofmeyer says the baits 

are buried beneath the soil surface 

at designated bait stations. 

‘Th is reduces the likelihood 

of the poison being taken by 

native animals and ensures unused 

baits can be collected and 

disposed of properly. 

Areas that are baited will be 

signposted.’

Comment 

Volume 26 #22 November 8, 2011 

Transfer Bank Day 

Real change looks to be happening in the US, and it’s without 

Obama or his multimillion-dollar PR campaign. 

US media reports that $4.5 billion shifted to credit unions in 

recent times as people protest against high fees and unethical 

bank practices. 

Bank of America eff ectively created the Bank Transfer Day 

movement – which happened on November 5 – by announcing 

plans to collect $60 a year from each of its millions of debit-card 

users. 

Despite Bank of America immediately reversing its decision, 

opposition to banks gained huge momentum via Facebook, with 

hundreds of thousands of Americans transferring their money to 

credit unions. 

And while this bears no direct resemblance to the fi nancial 

issues our country faces, this week’s mini-protest featuring Ned 

Kelly in Byron Bay attempted to make the point that our banking 

sector invests in ‘toxic shit’. 

According to www.banktrack.org, Australia’s top four 

banks don’t fare particularly well when it comes to corporate 

governance and responsibility. The website lists all of the active 

environmental/humanitarian policies of every worldwide bank, 

and links them to unsustainable projects. In one case, ANZ were 

approached by the company HRL for brown-coal-fi red power 

station investment in Victoria; they subsequently withdrew their 

interest. 

Fortunately the Northern Rivers has its own local credit unions 

to invest in if you don’t wish to favour the big banks. 

Banking that produces a profi t for local investors is easier 

to keep tabs on and keeps the money circulating in the local 

community and economy.

POWER 

The media’s silly game of thrones 

First, a declaration: My 

book on Australia’s 27 

Prime Ministers, The 

Good, the Bad and the Unlikely, 

is on its way to the printers 

for release on Australia Day 

next year. 

I therefore have a vested interest 

in Julia Gillard staying 

in the job until then. If there 

is to be a change, please delay 

it until it is time for a second 

edition. 

But having said that, I don’t 

believe a change is coming any 

time soon. Last week’s media 

reports about the progress of 

plots and the imminence of 

coups had an air of desperation 

about them – the desperation 

emanating not from 

Gillard and Kevin Rudd, both 

of whom are behaving with 

commendable equanimity, 

but from the journalists. 

Particularly within News 

Ltd, they seem incapable of 

writing about anything else. If 

we actually entered a period 

of stability within the Labor 

party (admittedly not likely 

in the immediate future) we 

would have to buy the Murdoch 

hacks a set of alphabet 

blocks to keep them occupied. 

There is no doubt at all 

that Kevin Rudd would like 

his old job back, but there is 

also no reason to think that 

he is actively pursuing it, at 

least at present. He is quite 

smart enough to realise that 

to do so would be suicidal; at

ranks would close tightly behind 

Gillard. 

His strategy is rather to 

make the party come to him; 

to wait until suffi cient backbenchers 

despair of their 

chances of re-election to break 

with what is left of factional 

solidarity within the caucus 

and recall him to the leader- 

ship as their only hope. 

An article over the weekend 

suggests that Rudd thinks that 

this process is already well 

underway; he is reported to 

believe that the serious right 

wing factional bosses – Stephen 

Conroy, Bill Shorten 

and David Feeney in Victoria, 

Mark Arbib in New South 

Wales, Don Farrell in South 

Australia and Wayne Swan

control a mere 15 caucus votes 

between them. If this is so, after 

taking the six men’s own 

votes out, they must have an 

average of just one and a half 

followers each, and might as 

well give the warlord game 

away and take up knitting. 

But even if Rudd’s assessment 

is a touch optimistic, the 

hard fact is that the faction 

leaders’ powers consist of the 

ability to deliver two things: 

promotion within the caucus, 

and numbers for preselection. 

In the current circumstances 

the former is hardly worth 

considering and as for the latter 

– well, there’s not much 

point in tying up the preselection 

if there’s no prospect of 

holding the seat anyway. In a 

doomed party, the war lords 

become paper tigers. 

As far as anyone knows, 

Rudd has made no direct overtures 

to any of them, although 

his supporters (and yes, he has 

a few) are letting it be known 

that, if reincarnated, he would

be more accommodating the 

second time round. And of 

course, if the faction leaders 

fall out among themselves, 

and there are some signs of 

rift s developing, it can only 

help Rudd’s cause. 

But essentially he is relying 

on people power; that Gillard 

will self destruct in the same 

way as Alexander Downer did 

in 1995 and that the party will 

return to him as its only hope, 

in the same way the Liberals 

returned to the previously rejected 

John Howard. 

There are just two things 

wrong with this strategy: Gillard 

is not Downer and Rudd 

is not Howard. For starters 

Downer was only the leader 

of the opposition. Gillard is 

prime minister, and as such is 

a lot harder to shift . 

And it hardly needs to 

be said that she is also a lot 

smarter and tougher than the 

preposterous pretender replaced 

by Howard. And Howard 

was the last man standing; 

the Liberals had already tried 

and discarded every other 

possible contender for the job 

with the exception of Peter 

Costello, who then, as ever 

aft erwards, didn’t really want 

it anyway. 

Rudd might not have quite 

such an easy run. If the right 

is to give Gillard the tap on 

the shoulder, there has been 

talk of an ABR (Anyone But 

Rudd) candidate, possibly the 

COURSE POSITIONS 

STILL AVAILABLE 

seldom-seen Defence Minister 

Stephen Smith. It is only 

a vague and ultimately selfdefeating 

possibility; any such 

contender would be seen as 

another creature of the same 

faceless men who gave you 

Gillard in the fi rst place, and 

would be even more unelectable. 

If there is to be a change, 

Rudd is Labor’s only hope. 

But such is the visceral dislike 

of him among a hard core 

within the caucus that it would 

not, could not, be an easy transition. 

Gillard would be unlikely 

to go quietly, and her 

own rusted-on clique would 

not wait long before it began to 

white-ant Rudd all over again. 

He would almost certainly 

have to chance his arm with an 

early election before the process 

got too far advanced and 

while whatever honeymoon 

the voters were prepared to offer 

him lasted. And early elections 

are a risky business at the 

best of times, which this most 

emphatically isn’t. 

All in all it is not a tempting 

scenario; the current program 

of muddling along and hoping 

that something will turn up 

seems likely to continue for a 

while yet. 

And of course most of the 

media will continue to ignore 

the real issues of government 

while slavering obsessively over 

the opinion polls: 

‘If an election were to be 

held next weekend which 

party would receive your fi rst 

preference?’ 

‘But hang on, an election 

won’t be held next weekend…’ 

‘Shut up and answer my stupid, 

meaningless hypothetical 

question.’ 

Such is the breadth and 

depth of current Australian 

politics.

More growth needed at West Byron 

��Does Byron have a town plan 

any more? Th ey were a great 

concept! Town planning gazettes 

councils’ planning and 

intentions well in advance and 

directs developments towards 

community needs. It also signals 

local councils to budget 

and plan necessary infrastructure 

well in advance, and land 

owners have reasonable rights 

over their own properties when 

the zoning is unambiguous. 

Now it seems that only lobby 

groups and naysayers have all 

the control. 

Th e likes of Mr Pugh are selling 

the notion that more housing 

will cause traffic issues, 

but he must assume that residents 

have caused the traffi c 

chaos in the fi rst place. What 

a crock! Anyone who really 

lives and works here knows 

that the town has outgrown 

the road in, and the residents 

don’t cause the traffi c jam. He 

also questions the number of 

residents it will create because 

some owners have been fi lling 

the garages to create an extra 

bedroom. Doesn’t he understand 

that this occurs because

Byron is creating a mess due 

to the lack of planning and 

supply of aff ordable housing is 

a real community issue. I think 

we should accept the need for 

the West Byron precinct and 

get on with the job of fi xing 

the traffi c and road problems 

as a separate matter of urgency. 

I am not one who believes we 

need to put a fence up to keep 

people out, but we should hold 

Council to account for the lack 

of planning. If Council did its 

job, developers wouldn’t need 

to go to state government to 

get sensible projects approved.

Power to youth 

Th e Echo editorial (‘Don’t give 

up on the young’, November 1) 

is not only spot on; it should 

be loudly applauded. Our communities, 

indeed our human 

existence, is dependent on the 

younger generation making a 

stand. Back in 1962 at Gerde’s 

Folk City in New York City a 

little known song-and-dance 

man sang a tune, ‘How many 

roads must a man walk down 

before you call him a man? 

How many seas must the white 

dove sail before she sleeps in 

the sand? Yes, how many times 

must the cannonballs fl y before 

they are forever banned? Th e 

answer my friend is blowin’ in 

the wind. Th e answer is blowin’ 

in the wind.’ Forty-nine years 

on the words of Bob Dylan’s 

song still ring chillingly clear. 

We need our young people 

to be challenging the status 

quo. Th eir parents and elders 

have not got it right. We have 

continued to bomb the planet, 

we have dug up the earth, we 

have polluted the skies and 

now we want to frack the water 

supply. Th e greatest moral 

challenge of our generation is 

right here, right now. 

Power to the local young 

people wise enough and brave 

enough to be taking a stand for 

this generation and the next. 

I applaud you. We, the planet 

and your children need you to 

be loud, proud and fabulously 

courageous.

Juicy Love Pty Ltd, trading as 

Wicked Campers, has coughed 

up $26,400 of its backpackers’

Juicy did not provide a single 

total price for the hire of vans 

that abound in places like Fishheads’ 

carpark. Mandatory additional 

fees and charges were 

not sufficiently disclosed in 

advertising. 

Byron’s tourist consumers

Questions for Richard 

I’ve currently got a court case 

going against Council – not 

over illegal accommodation 

but over whether my multiple 

occupancy is still valid. 

In order to establish Council’s 

bad faith I issued a subpoena. 

On August 11 this year 

Council had a secret meeting 

about me to which I was not 

invited. I needed to know what 

took place. I now have the secret 

staff report in front of me 

and a transcript of the debate. 

Very interesting. Certainly 

there was the expected funny 

business from staff about what 

a terrible person I am and 

something needs to be done 

etc, but what surprised me was 

a telling contribution from Cr 

Richard Staples: ‘I’m frustrated 

by this. I wonder whether 

Buck$ would have any reason 

to exist if he didn’t have a gripe 

with Council… where his life 

would head...’ 

Dearie me! Richard Staples 

is this Greens councillor who 

has trouble getting re-endorsed 

by the Greens every election 

because he’s so lazy and so devoid 

of passion; he never puts 

up any notices of motion and 

is never proactive. Don’t get 

me wrong; Richard has a kind 

heart and he’s one of the better 

councillors in terms of how he 

votes. It’s just that if the Greens 

set out to save the world then 

they’re not choosing their saviours 

very well! Ideals without 

grit are mere fantasies. 

So I challenge you, Rich- 

400 Tweed Valley Way Murwillumbah 

www.duraplas.com.au 

ard, to get off your arse and 

do something useful for once, 

some research: 

1) Of the almost 40 cases of 

unauthorised rural housing 

currently on Council’s books 

how many of them are rednecks, 

farmers or mates of Ross 

Tucker’s? 

2) Of the people who went 

through the Community Title 

process how many are happy 

that it took ten years, cost them 

at least $250,00 and had to put 

up with endless obstacles placed 

in their path by Council staff 

(with the result that Community 

Title has been a resounding 

fl op)? 

3) Of the hundreds of holiday 

letters in the Shire who have 

benefi tted from Council’s benevolent 

blind eye, how many 

of them are ‘hippies” in any 

sense of the word? 

Do you get my drift , Richard? 

A lot of people out there are 

starting to suspect that there is a 

systematic drive afoot to get rid 

of one demographic and replace 

them with a wealthier and more 

congenial one. Th at would explain 

a lot, wouldn’t it.

Faith in a youthful green future 

� While I respect the comprehensive 

and well-informed 

nature of Dr Mark Byrne’s critique 

of the recent history of 

the environmental movement 

(Echo, November 1), I feel there 

is more to be considered. 

It fails to acknowledge the 

massive mainstream groundswell 

of a once-fringe movement. 

As documented in Paul 

Hawkin’s book Blessed Unrest, 

it would take 4.5 days of continually 

rolling credits to name 

the ever-increasing number 

of international grassroots 

organisations. While their efforts 

are oft en unreported and 

disregarded this has in no way 

dampened the enthusiasm of a 

very real force gaining strength 

and momentum through conscious, 

cooperative practical 

action. 

Politically the elevation of 

the Greens Party to a viable 

third party option speaks of 

the heart and will of the nation. 

Th at our leaders have not 

had the courage to harness 

this determination will certainly 

be their demise. Many 

natural-born leaders are rising 

up from the fringes of discontent 

that circle the all-too-oft en 

law-breaking, profit-driven 

behemoth that denies our de- 

beauty, organisation and variety 

there. 

Congratulations to all the 

hard-working volunteers 

who made their dreams into 

reality in this little parcel of 

magical land that was once a 

weedy paddock. Special accolades 

and gratitude to the 

two people who dreamt, acted 

and manifested the Community 

Gardens, Jeannette Martin 

and Jacqueline Wills. Th at 

must have been a lot of hard 

voluntary work! 

The food was awesome. It 

was a real pleasure to taste 

some of the fi rst pizzas coming 

out of the recently fi nished 

mud pizza oven. I learnt lots 

of important information from 

the talks, things that really 

matter like if you don’t have 

enough bees around pollinating 

your garden, then it is quite 

easy to attract native bees by 

pendence on and love of our 

planetary home.

example of the marriage of 

ancient wisdom with cuttingedge 

law that is informing and 

empowering the individual, 

community and collective 

mind of our times. 

As the Australian Youth 

Climate Coalition (AYCC) so 

bravely stated, ‘It is the young 

Australians who will face the 

consequences of decisions 

made today. Th at’s why we have 

the vision that will deliver the 

short-term political impact 

and long-term cultural change 

needed for a safe climate future.’ 

It seems that this age of information 

immediacy allows 

the next generation of environmentalists 

an accelerated model 

of coherence that greatly improves 

upon a less integrated 

past. For example, ‘fl ashmob’ 

gatherings organised by mass 

texting which manifest instantaneous 

expression of a unifi ed 

voice. It is up to those of us 

who still believe in the resil- 

planting something that I have 

forgotten. Can anyone help me 

with the name of this plant? 

The music was grassroots 

with Vince and The Vipers 

fi tting the bill perfectly, along 

with others. 

It was fantastic to have a 

street parade in Mullumbimby 

again and to see the kids all 

taking part. I hope this will 

happen again next year. I know 

new volunteers are always welcome 

and can contact the organisers 

at mullumcommunitygarden@gmail.com.

CO 2 tax 

Everywhere in the media we 

read about the ‘Carbon Tax’ It 

ience of the human spirit to resource, 

encourage and inspire 

their vision. To wholeheartedly 

occupy planet Earth. 

Gina Lakosta 

Brunswick Heads 

�� Mark Byrne’s measured lament 

on the shortcomings of 

environmental activism. And 

he’s right: for those of us who 

care about the health of the 

planet (hands up if that does 

not include you), ecological 

success stories have been depressingly 

few and far between. 

But there’s room for at least 

limited optimism. Th e simple 

‘narrative’ that Mark is seeking 

‘to counter the “magic pudding” 

myth of endless economic 

growth’ is bubbling away under 

the surface, and may soon 

emerge in the form of a powerful 

worldwide movement. 

I’m talking about economic 

localisation. Whether we’re 

concerned about the obscenities 

of Wall Street or the decimation 

of old-growth forests, 

about gas fracking or rising 

unemployment, the common 

denominator is a corporate 

economy so vast and so distant 

that it is structurally incapable 

of representing the interests of 

people and the earth. Increas- 

is not a tax on carbon, it is a tax 

on carbon dioxide. 

Carbon is a solid, eg graphite, 

coal, diamonds. CO 2 is an 

odourless, colourless, invisible 

trace gas essential for life on 

earth. 

Th ree per cent of CO 2 is produced 

by human activities, 97% 

is produced by nature. Nobody 

explains how the human-produced 

three per cent is a pollutant 

but the 97% produced by 

nature is not.

ingly, we are coming to realise 

that the future lies in reducing 

the scale of the economy, so as 

to bring it under democratic 

control. 

In an era of climate change 

and peak oil, economic globalisation 

has no future; sooner 

or later, biological limits will 

force us to move in another direction. 

But much better if we 

choose to take action now: not 

just through supporting local 

initiatives in the area where we 

live but by exerting pressure 

for political change – demanding, 

for instance, that all the 

multitude of taxes, subsidies 

and regulations that currently 

favour the large and global be 

shifted to favour instead the 

smaller and more local. (Have 

a look at our recent fi lm for 

more about this: www.theeconomicsofh 

appiness.org.) 

Th e really good news is that 

the measures we need to take 

as a matter of ecological necessity 

– of survival – are the 

very same measures required 

to rebuild our fragmented 

communities and, ultimately, 

to increase our own individual 

sense of life-purpose and wellbeing.

and and we will all drown if 

we don’t pay the tax. Ocean 

currents along our east coast 

are continually eroding from 

the southern end of beaches; it 

has been happening for millenia 

past. Our prevailing winds 

and constantly north-travelling 

currents cause erosion even on 

calm days. So there is continually 

sand being carried north 

with the ebb of waves, which 

ultimately creates a ‘scalloped’ 

eff ect on the shore line – sand 

eroded from the coastline farther 

south is carried along on 

the current and deposited on

the beach farther north. When 

sand accumulates it is called 

accretion, the opposite of erosion. 

And this cycle continues 

on up the coast. 

Sea level varies with changes 

in atmospheric pressure. It can 

rise up several metres over very 

large areas under large lowpressure 

systems and depress 

the ocean level under highpressure 

systems and when a 

high tide and a low-pressure 

system coincides you get erosion 

and no amount of carbon 

dioxide tax is going to stop it.

Golf club lands in the rough 

� Michelle Hall, speaking for 

the Byron Golf Club, (Letters, 

November 1), manages a good 

‘smoke and mirrors’ attempt 

to sidestep the issue of noise 

disturbance from their loud 

music during functions. She 

says , ‘if you take away the 

music, you destroy part of the 

atmosphere’. 

Michelle, you can have your 

music and dance to it too – just 

do it so the neighbourhood 

can’t hear it. How about I set 

up a rock band in my backyard 

and get them to play loud into 

the night so I can maintain ‘atmosphere’? 

I’m sure I would be 

shut down in minutes, 

So why do you feel you can 

do the same thing with no consequence? 

I’m thrilled you support 

the odd charity – kudos 

you! – but don’t try to fool us 

that your bottom line is anything 

but making money. It 

doesn’t wash. 

Turn it down.

Boycotting Origin 

Thanks to Australian Ethical 

Investment for divesting 

its shares away from Origin/ 

Country Energy as a protest 

against them getting into the 

coal-seam gas dirty business. 

The S355 Committee that 

manages Durrumbul Hall has 

likewise boycotted Origin and 

taken our business elsewhere 

(Red Energy is now our supplier). 

No electricity source 

is without its downsides but 

some are downer than others. 

CSG is the pits. 

Boycott, Divest, Sanction 

(BDS) are great ways for otherwise 

insignifi cant people and 

groups of people to make powerful 

statements to the governors 

of our time – big business. 

You can remove your vote from

and you can remove your 

money (and your smile) from 

the dirty corporations.

Say no to plastic bags 

I know we are inundated with 

actions on so many levels. It 

seems the list of things we need 

to stop, save or retrieve from 

destruction just keeps getting 

longer. Banning the plastic bag 

is a no-brainer and it amazes 

me that ‘green’ Byron hasn’t already 

achieved it. If your head’s 

in the sand, please know that 

much of that sand is now plastic 

‘enriched’ –and we’ve only 

been mass-producing plastic 

for 40 years! Imagine the state 

of things in another 40? (http:// 

news.nationalgeographic.com/ 

news/2004/05/0506_040506_ 

oceanplastic.html.) 

So, my plea to people now 

is to do something so simple 

it will hardly raise your pulse a 

notch. Bring your own sturdy, 

reusable shopping bags with 

you when you shop. Not the 

readymade substitutes from 

the supermarket – these are 

also non biodegradable plastic.

out there that fold up to nearly

Food myths 

Byron Bay lies in an underpopulated 

shire in the world’s 

least populated continent aft er 

Antartica. As a therapist I have 

been struck by the irony of so 

many angry patients persecuted 

by their catastrophic beliefs 

about overpopulation. It is 

frightening to hear some of the 

suggested solutions people are 

proposing in order to ‘save the 

planet’. We need to be careful 

that the environmental movement 

is not being hijacked by 

an ultra-rightwing agenda to 

justify the next xenophobic 

holocaust. 

Overpopulation is a myth. 

We produce enough food to 

feed the world. Malnutrition 

occurs when people can’t afford 

to buy over-priced food. 

We have hedge fund managers 

controlling the production and 

distribution of food across the 

world. Th is results in millions 

of tonnes of grain being warehoused 

and oft en mountains 

of food destroyed in order to 

maximise profi ts. South Africa 

is a net exporter of food! Extreme 

capitalism is ruining this 

planet and should be the focus 

of our anger.

Highway access 

Re no access to the highway at 

Bangalow. My concern is that 

if the accident that happened 

near Lawlers Lane involving 

a local man had happened at 

the same location on the new 

highway, and because there is 

no entry to the highway proposed 

in Bangalow, it would 

have taken the fi re brigade containing 

their specialist team a 

minimum of 22 minutes longer

to reach the accident scene. 

I only hope there are no lifethreatening 

accidents in the 

immediate vicinity of Bangalow 

when the new highway is 

completed. I am not convinced 

that this will be the case as statistics 

show the majority of 

accidents happen within five 

kilometres of your home. 

Another issue which concerns 

me is that both Newrybar 

and Bangalow fire brigades’ 

viability depend on the number 

of callouts they attend. If 

they cannot access the highway, 

will this mean that one 

or both of these will close and 

Bangalow and the surrounds 

will not have the same protection 

that we currently have? 

I think finally some businesses 

in Bangalow now realise 

that without the through 

traffic their businesses will suffer 

financially. I hope the GFC 

disappears very soon as this 

added stress may put some out 

of business. All I can say is that 

selfish residents have put the 

lives of our loved ones in danger 

and I hope they do not live 

to regret this stupid decision.

Let us spray 

I am someone who abhors the 

overuse of chemicals in every 

aspect of our society but the 

fact that some people believe 

that we are being sprayed indiscriminately 

from the sky 

seems ridiculous to me. This is 

an oft-heard conspiracy theory 

in this shire over the last decade, 

but surely more worrying 

(as noted recently by a letterwriter 

to these pages) is that 

our council regularly sprays 

toxic chemicals by roadsides 

and all over footpaths. 

This is a horrible practice 

and I am constantly gobsmacked 

and appalled that 

it occurs, but to suggest that 

‘someone’ (the government I 

assume?) is spraying us from 

above (to make us unwell or 

stupider) is astounding. Incidentally, 

I do subscribe to 

Chomsky’s theory of manufacturing 

consent, but perhaps 

our shire’s counter-culture and 

its ensuing paranoia, bred over 

the last four odd decades, has 

mutated commonsense into 

conspiracy theory. Although, 

perhaps it’s true – maybe ‘the 

powers that be’ are spraying us 

with an airborne serum that 

makes us believe in conspiracy 

theories.

On the beat 

Council (Graeme Faulkner) 

is not usually a source of humour 

for this citizen. However, 

Graeme Faulkner did put a 

smile on my face this morning 

– when I read his response to 

my correspondence addressed 

to Council. 

I informed Council of the 

risks speeding pushbike riders 

on Jonson Street footpaths 

pose to the disabled, elderly 

and children and requested 

that Council signage the two 

most dangerous areas – outside 

Dendy Cinema and near 

the country/interstate bus stop. 

According to Graeme Faulkner, 

Byron Shire Council is not the 

‘appropriate body’ to carry out 

the request that Council erect 

(or paint) footpath signage; and 

he suggested that I address my 

‘concerns’ to the NSW Police 

Force. A picture of the local 

cops down on their knees painting 

pictures of a pushbike in a 

circle with a diagonal line came 

to mind. Would the police have 

to remove their guns in order 

to avoid any nasty accidents? 

Where would the police put 

their guns while working on 

the signs?

Blaming the victim 

Guilty until proven innocent 

is our attitude to refugees who 

arrive by boat. Is it not racism 

to reverse our normal trial procedure? 

Is it not blaming the 

victim? Or the transport system 

supplying market demands? 

If, as both government and 

opposition would have us believe, 

the object of the exercise 

is to save lives at sea, break the 

people-smugglers’ ‘business 

model’ and process refugees 

offshore then the government 

might lease a foreign-registered 

cruise liner. It could then pick 

up passengers in Kuala Lumpur 

and various Indonesian ports 

and drop them off in Australian 

ports as and when they were 

cleared. 

Meantime, lessons in English 

and Australian cultural values 

and school for kids. Brownie 

points for volunteering and social/cutural 

interaction. Make 

it a happy experience instead of 

further traumatising the already 

traumatised.

Just to make the Shire aware 

that the gas company Metgasco 

that is operating in Casino 

has recently come out saying 

in ABC News that the ‘idea of 

building a floating natural gas 

facility off the New South Wales 

north coast (Ballina) remains in 

the earliest stages of planning’. 

The chief executive Peter Henderson 

from Metgasco says, ‘If 

we manage to sell gas to an international 

customer and convert 

it into liquefied natural gas, 

LNG, then the option would be 

to put a floating LNG facility 

off the NSW coast.’ That would 

mean a pipeline running from 

Casino to Ballina! 

Now is our time to have a 

say. If you are opposed to this 

plan, feel free to write a letter 

to Metgasco before they get 

a chance to continue on with 

their proposed plans. Metgasco

Each year the the Bureau of Meteorology 

and the Australian Meteorological 

and Oceanographic Society create the 

beautiful Australian Weather Calendar, 

showcasing a carefully selected portfolio 

of images representing the diversity 

of Australia’s highly variable weather 

and climate. The calendar for the end

expanded role as a leading provider of 

Is friendship key to alleviating 

loneliness, depression and 

poor health and wellbeing in 

older men? Rebecca Shaw, associate 

member of the Australian 

Psychological Society, has 

explored the meaning and importance 

of friendship to men 

in later life. 

In her focus group survey 

of 40 men from the Hawkesbury 

and Blue Mountains areas, 

average age 71, Ms Shaw 

found there is a strong need 

among older men to come 

together with other men – to 

belong. This ‘community of 

men’ nourishes their sense of 

self, and this gives them a sense 

of purpose or belonging. The 

fulfilment of friendship beats 

the depression of retirement. 

This is important in the 

context that the rate of suicide 

among men steadily increases 

after the age of 70. 

Despite the documented 

links between friendship and 

health and wellbeing amongst 

older adults, there hasn’t been 

a great deal of research into 

friendship. And what is known 

has been mainly informed by 

studies of women, or comparisons 

between men and 

women. 

Four themes of friendship 

environmental information across oceans, 

air, land, water and space. 

The picture here is by Matt Smith, a 

warehouse supervisor at Wollongong, 

NSW, who risked his $15,000 mediumformat 

camera to capture this double 

rainbow at Wombarra Beach in January 

2011. It survived the rain. 

Rainbows are formed when light from 

the sun passes through raindrops in the 

atmosphere. As the light shines on the 

surface of the droplets, it is refracted, or 

bent. It then reflects off the back of the 

emerged from Ms Shaw’s 

study: dimensions of friendship, 

dynamic nature of friendship, 

importance of friendship 

and the community of men. 

Ms Shaw found that older men 

understood the dynamic nature 

of their friendships, that 

friendship groups will change 

over time – through death, ill 

health, distance and historical 

circumstances such as war. 

Men also face a unique set 

of circumstances as they grow 

older. Many suddenly find 

themselves outside of the established 

friendship groups 

that have nurtured them for 

years. Retirement is a case in 

point. Many men have had 

their identities and friendships 

tied up in work for decades. 

When they leave the workforce 

they also leave friendships, 

with many left feeling isolated 

and lonely. 

Widowed men can also find 

themselves in the same unhappy 

position. They no longer feel 

part of friendship groups that 

have been formed by married 

couples. 

Ms Shaw found that the need 

for friends, and the importance 

of friends, is greater in old age, 

particularly in the context of 

increased ill health and disability. 

Many men linked a lack of 

friends to loneliness and linked 

loneliness to depression and 

other mental health problems: 

‘John: I think, as you get, as 

drop and is refracted again as it passes 

back through the surface of the droplet. 

Blue light refracts at a greater angle than 

red light, resulting in white light being 

separated into its spectrum of colours. 

A rainbow is an optical effect dependent 

on the position of the observer. If you 

travel towards a rainbow, it appears to 

move further away. Similarly, a rainbow 

viewed from above, such as from an 

aircraft, appears as a full circle rather than 

the semicircle when viewed from the 

ground. 

Survey explores older men’s friendships 

These old blokes seem to get along. 

you get older, you seem to realise 

friendship is more important 

than anything else. 

‘Roger: Oh, the friendship, 

and the conversation is, yeah. 

Because, those, ah fellas of my 

age that don’t converse or get together 

or what have you, seem 

to be the ones that’re coppin 

the dementia, Alzheimer’s, and 

(yes, yep, yeah) they’re endin’ 

up in the nursing homes long 

before you expect them to. 

‘Bart: There’s no doubt about 

it, talking about anything 

makes the problem a bit easier 

(yeah) if you’ve got somebody 

else helping, it really does 

(yeah, yeah), if you’re feeling 

crook (yep), you know, somebody 

says ah, don’t be silly, 

Bart, come and have a drink, 

or come and have a game or do 

something you know.’ 

The diversity of personalities 

among men points to them 

seeking out different types of 

friendship. 

Those drawn to OMNI (Old 

Men New Ideas) groups (www. 

omni.org.au) are more likely 

to have personalities open 

and willing to share problems, 

while other men will seek out 

activity-based relationships, 

and others still prefer informal 

friendships.

Eden at 

Byron 

With Christmas less than 

eight weeks away, it’s time to 

plant some festive colour in 

the garden and outdoor living 

areas. It will be hard to go past 

Geranium ‘Big Red’ this year. 

With extremely large fl owers 

and a stunning rich velvetred 

colour, this vigorous and 

heat-tolerant geranium was the 

number-one selling geranium 

in the US for the two years 

prior to its Australian release in 

2010. Geranium ‘Big Red’ really 

performs well in our climate. 

Even after heavy rain and 

overcast weather, when lots of 

geraniums start feeling a little 

sad, ‘Big Red’ continues to look 

fantastic. The foliage is a lovely 

rich green, complementing the 

deep red fl owers perfectly. Plant 

some now in large pots for a 

spectacular Christmas display. 

It’s hardy, easy to care for, and 

fl owers profusely. You’ll love 

it. (Being a very modern plant, 

it even has its own Facebook 

page. Yes, really.)

Osteopathy 

SHIATSU is the world’s oldest 

modality. By applying fi rm 

pressure to the body, the fl ow 

of Ki (vital energy) is stimulated 

to all the organs, resulting in 

profound relaxation and healing. 

Musculoskeletal distortions are 

corrected by pressure to points 

and meridians in the ancient 

oriental system of healing 

that treats body/mind as one; 

psychological problems may 

also be helped by Shiatsu. 

Our bodies can be likened 

to a battery with trillions of 

cells of electrolytic fl uids and 

associated currents. Overwork, 

poor diet and stress cause the 

battery to go ‘fl at’; the fl uid 

balance becomes muddy and 

dehydrated. 

Come to Peter Scholz at 

Brunswick Heads Osteopathy 

and recharge your battery…

Business & Finance Advertising Feature 

This no-nonsense feature highlights local businesses that can help you get ahead and achieve your financial goals. 

Compare the Pear! 

Those of you who flick the idiot box on from 

time to time may have seen the ad for industry 

superannuation funds ‘Compare the Pair’. It’s 

hard to miss: various versions run frequently 

on various networks. The advertising costs 

must be huge. 

With that in mind, I thought it timely to put 

forward a little comparison data myself which 

is more specific to the type of funds one might 

be recommended by a non-industry fund or 

non-bank financial adviser such as myself. I 

want to make it clear however that this is not 

an ‘Us versus Them’ approach. Industry funds 

have their place in the market as do low-cost 

funds recommended by financial advisers; the 

reality of the cost and fee differences however 

might just surprise you. 

‘Our fees are lower, their fees higher’ 

Super Fee comparison table based on $50,000 

account balance. 

The figures above are not typos. Fees are less 

than half of those with Australian Super, one 

of the largest industry funds. That is a stark 

difference from the perception of the types of 

funds financial advisers recommend, created 

in the all too powerful medium of television. 

The cost of advice! 

We all need help from time to time so if 

you are thinking of getting financial advice, 

industry funds also have advisers who charge 

fees (as we do) for the provision of a financial 

plan – ‘Statement of Advice’. 

*Industry fund financial planning state fees are charged 

from $220 but the price range for most plans is $660 - 

$4,000 but can be higher for more complex requirements. 

When compared to buying a pear, the actual 

fees you may expect to pay with non-industry 

fund financial advice and/or products are 

higher! But we are not comparing the cost of 

fruit now are we, so I’ll let the numbers do the 

talking. 

When comparing insurance within super, 

I almost need another article so I will quickly 

touch on some important points. 

��Many industry fund insurance policies 

automatically cancel 13 months after the 

last contribution. Not so with the cover I 

recommend. 

��Australian Super offers Income Protection 

policies with a two-year maximum benefit 

period. Ours is paid until your 65th birthday 

if you can’t work due to sickness or accident. 

Your super contributions can also continue 

if you’re crook, providing you with more to 

live on when you turn 65. 

��We can offer automatic life cover (no health 

questions asked) up to $500,000 when you 

take out a mortgage. 

��Consolidation of all your insurance into one 

fund up to $1,000,000 no questions asked. 

So now you are armed with more specific 

facts, buy your pears from the farmers market, 

not the supermarket!

‘Lock it in Eddie’ 

The Aussie Dollar’s still up there and the 

Reserve Bank has cut the interest rate so 

you’re thinking about traveling? Across the 

board the Aussie is buying high, and with 

great air and accommodation deals we’re all 

being tempted to step ‘off the island’... 

Your spending money by and large makes up 

the majority of a trip cost. When do you buy 

FX or how do you choose your travel money 

product? 

It sounds like Latin that rate info; the number 

on the tv and the internet doesn’t match what 

they have at the bank, so many of us say ‘I’ll just 

take my cards’ or ‘I’ll get some at the airport’. 

Convenience WILL cost you. 

Your cards may seem easy, but there 

are numerous and almost ‘invisible’ fees 

attached to debit and credit cards when used 

internationally. Up to four lots can hit your card 

on every transaction. Daily rate fluctuation, 

cross currency conversion fees, ATM fees, 

overseas transaction charge, international 

cash advance fees and, lord forbid, credit card 

interest charge and no interest-free period if 

you EVER need to cash advance. Regularly 

Aussies come home to hundreds of dollars 

in fees on their bank statements. You didn’t 

read the PDS/FSG/Condtions of Use brochure 

before you went and in many situations the 

teller at the bank isn’t versed in how they are 

all applied either. 

Travel cards are the alternative to the now 

obsolete travellers cheque. The Travel Card is 

for the security and peace of mind of locked 

in local currency that traveller’s cheques used 

to afford, combined with the ease of plastic 

without the fear of credit card fraud. 

But be careful; all are not created equal. 

Often the travel product is almost as fee heavy 

as the local card they are professing to replace. 

Is there are load fee? Reload fee? Unload 

fee? Is it a flat fee or a percentage ($10 vs $80 

on a load of AU$8000)? Does the card expire? 

If used outside the country of the currency, 

what’s the cross-currency conversion fee? 

When is a conversion fee happening? Does 

it have benefits like travel, medical and legal 

assistance? A charge for replacement cards 

or to provide emergency funds if your card is 

lost or stolen? An inactivity fee? Can you use 

at EFTPOS points free of charge? Can you use 

it online? 

Organising your funds before you buckle up 

& order the Bloody Mary can save you large 

sums of money, time and overseas headache 

knowing that your money is being spent BY 

you and ON you... 

That’s why you’re going on holiday after all.

Shop around 

and you could 

save $1000s 

on your loan 

repayments! 

Too many Australians go straight to their 

bank and sign up to the standard loan package. 

The years pass and they don’t look at what 

has changed in the loan market or what has 

changed in their own financial situation. Does 

this sound like you? 

Would you go to a supermarket that just 

sold the one brand of products? When you go 

straight to your bank you are doing exactly that 

– shopping with only one brand. You can only 

choose from the products and interest rates 

offered by that bank. The product suite varies 

greatly from bank to bank and it’s important 

to know what offerings are out there so you 

can make comparisons of your bank and the 

competitors. We have over 50 approved lenders 

and we can find the right loan solution to suit 

your financial situation. Recent customers of 

mine went to their local bank and were about 

to sign up to a loan when a friend of theirs 

advised they speak with us. We were able to 

tailor a solution for them which saved them 

$100s on each monthly repayment! 

The mortgage market is constantly evolving. 

By speaking to us you are getting up-to-date 

knowledge and access to the latest products 

and interest rates. Your home loan will most 

likely be your largest expense in your lifetime, 

therefore it is very important to ensure that 

you have a competitive deal and don’t end up 

paying more then you have to. Give me a call 

now! 

Appointments are FREE of charge and 

available at a time and place that suits you!

Do you know 

that local 

employers are 

bucking the 

trend toward 

employing 

people with 

disabilities? 

Recent media reports claim that employers 

lack an understanding of people with 

disability and exercise their prejudices by not 

employing people with characteristics deemed 

undesirable. 

Earlier this month federal minister for 

employment participation, Kate Ellis, released 

results of a new Australian study claiming 

employers continue to operate under the 

misconception that people with disability will 

be less productive. 

Northern Rivers and Gold Coast businesses 

are bucking the trend in droves as they 

increase their demand for a talent pool that 

has traditionally been overlooked. 

Despite a tough economic climate, vacancies 

exist throughout the region and local employers 

are more than willing to cast aside prejudice to 

embrace a valuable sector of the labour market 

that is willing and able to meet their needs. 

We have canvassed a large number of 

businesses in the last three months, of which 

a staggering proportion had immediate 

vacancies; but more importantly the majority 

were open to employing as part of their team a 

person with an injury, illness or disability. 

What we now know is that we are in a 

region full of savvy business operators who 

have readily identified the value of tapping 

into a non-traditional talent pool as a means to 

sustaining their business into the future. 

As a result, we have a number of vacancies 

available and we are calling for expressions of 

interest from people with disability who are 

professional, tertiary and/or trade qualified and 

who are ready to embrace local employment 

opportunities. 

Recognition is due the local business 

community for their vision and for becoming 

part of a local solution to the skills shortage by 

partnering with us. Hopefully more employers 

will follow the trend and reap the rewards. 

Expressions of interest may be registered 

with Karen Daley at ON-Q Human Resources 

on 1800 761 561. 

Alec Morgan, Managing Director.

NEW ZEALAND SINGER SONGWRITER ANNA 

CODDINGTON IS FAST ESTABLISHING HERSELF 

AS AN ARTIST OF NOTE ON HER ISLAND HOME 

WITH HER ABILITIES BEING RECOGNISED HERE 

AS WELL. CODDINGTON HAS BEEN DESCRIBED 

BY CRITICS AS ‘EXEPTIONAL, CAPTIVATING AND 

CREATIVE’. THIS DOWN-TO-EARTH GIRL TAKES 

THE ESSENTIAL GUITAR-DRIVEN INDIE SONG AND 

MAKES IT HER OWN. 

Her sophomore album Cat & Bird is garnering impressive 

attention; for Coddington creating it was a very diff erent 

experience from her debut. 

‘I wanted more guitars on this album and I wanted a 

bigger dynamic. I think the main diff erence with my 

second album is that I had a clear idea of how I wanted 

it to sound and a clearer vision of how to see it through. 

This time I really wanted to enjoy the whole process, 

because with the fi rst album I stressed out… I mean if 

you’re not enjoying it then why do it!’ 

Coddington believes it’s the growing clarity of the kind 

of music she wants to make that has created such a welllauded 

off ering. 

‘I think knowing what I wanted to set out to achieve and 

achieving it has made it a better album to listen to.’ 

Anna spends a good part of the year on tour and she 

believes that playing the live circuit is the best way to get 

your music to the people. 

‘There’s no better way to build your fan base,’ she says. 

‘I believe it’s building one fan at a time rather than as 

masses and you need to respect that; your audience

needs to get a sense of who you are as person. I just 

love that about performing. I love how it all works. I 

love how certain people react to certain things. You can 

never really know what moves people,’ she says. 

For Coddington making music has become a more 

conscious process; it’s something she believes has 

helped her push through her limitations. 

‘I like to keep it interesting. The songs change 

depending where I play and whom I play with. I would 

hate to be playing the same thing all the time. In fact 

I’ve changed my whole attitude to making music from 

it’s all about you the artist getting what you want across 

to being more aware of the audience; it’s really a blend 

of both but in my experience it’s only magical when you 

are sharing it.’ 

When it comes to songwriting, Coddington tinkers 

daily with ideas and melodies to push through with her 

inspiration. 

‘When it comes to writing music it’s also something 

that I have changed my approach to from thinking 

inspiration comes when it comes, and being at the 

mercy of the song gods, to thinking that if you are 

creative it’s on you to do the creating. I try and stay 

open; the more you do it the more naturally it comes. 

Anna Coddington appears with her band at the 

Mullum Music Festival on Saturday and Sunday 26 and

performer.

See Mandy live at 


DYING TO SEE YOU 

There’s a coffi n lid in my lounge room. As the family fi les past I 

wait for comments. ‘What the f is that?’ ‘Oooh creepy,’ and fi nally 

from my husband, ‘I suddenly feel very nervous’. Before you start 

perusing garage sales for an unwanted Mandy Nolan painting and 

going through my rubbish for celebrity trinkets of empty spray tan 

and shiraz bottles – I should let you know that I’m not planning on 

checking out just yet. The coffi n is for an exhibition for Day of the 

Dead this week. 

Although I could die right here. Sometimes when I’m daydreaming 

I wonder how I’ll die. It’s strangely titillating. Will I have a heart 

attack during my welcome back to summer brazilian? Will an apple 

roll under the brake while executing a tricky reverse park and I’ll 

plummet to my death at the lighthouse? Will that angry vegan from 

down south fi nally stab me in the heart with a carrot? 

I don’t know. All I know is how all the people in my family have died. 

My maternal grandfather tried to electrocute himself a few times 

in a failed suicide attempt, then sadly had a heart attack after the 

institutions fried him with electric shock therapy. My father died in a 

head-on car crash, at 30, drunk out of his mind. My grandmother got 

cancer about eight times but fi nally died from the long-term organdestroying 

eff ects of radiation. Death is like a mystery bet at the TAB: 

you just don’t know what’s coming for you. 

This week I made my will. I’ve never had one before. The coffi n 

lid, the will, it got me thinking that I will probably die this week. 

I’m almost prepared. It’s funny how uncomfortable we are talking 

about death. We always act like it’s a surprise. I think that’s why it’s so 

hard to know what to say to a bereaved person. Death is inevitable; 

timing of course, and the method of our demise is perhaps the most 

unfortunate bit. We mutter ‘I’m sorry’ like we killed the person, and 

the person with the terrible grief must suff er not only their pain 

but the excruciating sense of discomfort from friends and loved 

Jeepers Creepers 

Huxton Creepers, a band that anyone with a passing familiarity 

with the Australian live music scene in the 80s would know, 

captured a generation of fans with their delicate blend of power 

pop and good old rock and roll.They are now set to re-release their 

re-mastered classic album 12 Days to Paris, a double CD featuring 

bonus b-sides, live tracks, demos and other Huxton Creepers 

rarities. 

They have played on the odd occasion since they went their 

separate ways at the end of the 80s and this 12 Days to Paris Rerelease 

Tour will most likely be the last time the band will perform 

as a group. The Creepers will appear alongside Ups & Downs at 

Byron Bay Brewery in Byron on Saturday. 

Day of interconnectedness 

On 11.11.11. the ‘World day of Interconnectedness’, CBD Dub Project 

are coming out of hibernation for a spring show. It’s a Dub-reggae, 

soul and trip-hop experience, with the soul intention of getting 

people on the dance fl oor to feel the interconnection. 

CBD Dub create a sublime sound built on solid grooves, rhythmic 

beats, vocal harmonies and loops layered into all original songs in 

the style of dub-reggae, soul and trip-hop. 

CBD have played a wide range of gigs from big dance-parties and 

festivals to more intimate weddings and cafes. They’ve played 

alongside Kora (NZ), Easy Star All Stars (dub side of the moon), 

Wicked Beat Sound System, and The Black Seeds (NZ). Join CBD 

bringing their smooth sounds back to the rails for the fi rst time in 

two years. The Rails on Friday.

Apple of Kathryn’s heart 

Acoustic singer/songwriter Kathryn Hartnett from southern 

NSW is currently on a national tour promoting her debut EP Apple 

of Desire. Since the CD’s release in February 2011 Kathryn has 

performed at leading venues including The Basement (Sydney) 

and Ruby’s Lounge (Melbourne) as well as Australian Blues Music 

ones who don’t know how to off er their love and kindness in an 

appropriate way. 

When my father died I hated going to school. I hated going to 

birthday parties. I was just six years old but I could feel this pity. 

People felt sorry for me. They whispered kind things behind covered 

mouths. I felt like freaky pity girl. I remember hearing one mother 

encourage her six-year-old daughter who had always hated me 

to give me a birthday invitation. ‘Go on, Sharon,’ she said, ‘give the 

invitation to Mandy. That’s the poor little girl whose daddy died.’ I 

thought , ‘Yeah, Sharon, you stuck-up little bitch, give it to Mandy… 

hang on, I am Mandy.’ Oh the strange, goosebumpy, burning-eye 

teared shame of it all. 

We may have reclaimed birth but we still do death badly. We mourn 

when we should celebrate, we avoid when we should confront and 

we fear when we should embrace. Death is beside us every day. It 

lives in our house. It’s in our car. It’s in the air we breathe. We are 

infi nite souls in a fi nite body. We exist with grace. (Or in my case, 

without it.) 

I am not saying this predicting that I am one of those people who 

will die well. I won’t. I think every lump is cancer. Every twinge a heart 

attack and headaches, well they are clearly brain tumours. It’s hard 

to talk about death. It’s always shrouded in depression, or it’s dour, 

or people become excruciatingly uncomfortable because they are 

suspicious that the mere mention of death could put them at risk 

of dying. Don’t tempt the death monster. Pretend you are immortal. 

Until you’re not. 

Doesn’t give much time to come to grips, does it? If you can make 

peace with your own death I guess you can make peace with your 

life. I always thought that I never wanted to die, but my grandmother 

said something recently which really struck a chord. She’s nearly 95, 

she’s blind and a bit deaf, living in nursing care, but as sharp as the 

proverbial tack. Just recently she was talking about who got what 

when she died and I said ‘Oh Nanny, stop saying that, I hope you live 

for a bit longer yet’. She paused and looked unimpressed: ‘Really? 

Do you? I certainly don’t. I’ve been ready to go for ages. I am sick of 

waiting. I feel like everyone I knew or loved is at a party and the bus 

has forgotten to pick me up.’ 

She’s still waiting. But she’s got her ticket out and ready. Bring your 

kids and demystify death at the Carnivale of Life and Death at Mullum 

Civic Hall on Friday - Sunday with an art exhibiton and auction and 

a Dying to Dance Live Event with the Annual Day of the Dead at 

Heritage Park on Sunday. 

Festival. Backed up by Rob Payne on bass and Jared Cush on drums, 

the band provides a driving rhythm section for Kathryn’s acoustic/ 

rock tunes. When she supported Musicoz Artist of the Year Dallas 

Frasca in Queensland recently, Dallas was immediately taken by 

Kathryn’s sound. Kathryn Hartnett will be rocking out tunes from 

her EP plus a bunch of new material this Saturday at the Lennox 

Hotel.

DIDN’T FIND HER WAY ONTO THE STAGE 

UNTIL SHE WAS 40. 

‘It was always a fantasy hidden deep down inside 

of me,’ she laughed, commenting that what got 

her going was something quite diff erent. 

‘It was doing the comedy and getting up on 

stage that opened my eyes. I got to see that even 

though it was uncomfortable I am at home on 

stage. All those performing opportunities as a 

comedian helped me see I was a performer, and 

that I want to sing.’

Renee believes that performing is something 

that most of us are mystifi ed by but the lessons 

are clear. 

‘I discovered that when it comes to performing 

it’s not about being in the right mood, or having 

enough training, or I learnt piano as a child; none 

of these things matter at all. It’s about actually 

taking what you do have and using it, and more 

comes. You do your apprenticeship on stage. 

You learn to be a singer by being a singer. I wish 

someone would tell us that.’ 

Audiences love watching new performers evolve. 

‘Actually we deprive each other by not having 

a go, because people actually enjoy being part 

of the process of watching someone evolve and 

take a risk.’ 

Songwriting for Renee is about humanness. 

‘I write songs about being a human being with 

frailties and shortcomings and the power is in 

admitting them. You know we are all heroes in 

our own lives – we are all striving to do our best. 

What comes back to me is that I like to see my 

life and other peoples’ ordinary lives in a mythical 

grand way. Thats why I like 

hearing songwriters I like because 

I get to hear my struggles and 

tenderness singers presented in a 

beautiful way.’ 

For Renee Searle’s show at the 

Mullum Bowlo this Saturday she 

is backed by a very impressive 

line-up. Ambika on piano, Oles 

Krolikowski and Marcus Patterson 

on guitars, bass, lap steel and 

ukuleles and Pete Wilkins on 

drums. 

‘This is a big sound, beautiful 

guitar, and lap steel, and again 

I feel really blessed that they 

want to do it,’ she says. ‘It’s lovely 

being held and supported – it’s a 

beautiful feeling and more than 

that it makes the music sound 

amazing. It’s incredible seeing the 

music come to life when the song 

was just a little thing plucked 

away on a uke on a futon on the 

fl oor, and suddenly it comes to 

life and takes on a path of its own 

and that’s a wondrous thing… it’s 

like magic… actually it is magic.’

monkeys and bohemians of Byron and beyond can draw them. 

This month we thought it was time for some aerial spectacle, and 

to help with that is one of Australia’s most legendary and dynamic 

performers, the beautiful Miss Lena Marlene. 

Lena is a master of just about any aerial or acrobatic style you 

can name, so she’s going to thrill you with some death-defying 

and graceful posing high above the drunken heads of the excited 

crowd below. 

And from Lena’s ‘Scoundrelles’ School of Pole Dance and Burlesque 

is the exquisite Miss Lillian Lace in her Dr Sketchy’s debut and 

Mae Wilde will be back in the saddle as our stunning and manic 

MC, so its going to be a classic night of Sketchy fun and frivolity. 

Doors open at 6.00pm, and the Sketching runs from 6.30pm to 

9.30pm. If you’re drawing, bring your own art materials. If not 

drawing, just bring some friends, grab a Martini, and sit back to 

enjoy the fun and glamour. It’s an over-18s event at the Byron Bay 

Brewery on Tuesday.

THE NATIONAL THEATRE’S PRODUCTION OF THE KITCHEN, 

PRESENTED BY DENDY CINEMAS BYRON 12 AND 13 NOVEMBER 

What’s cooking in the National Theatre 

With food, cooking and eating the new black, the National 

Theatre’s production of Arnold Wesker’s The Kitchen is a play for 

our times, despite being set in a 1950s London restaurant kitchen. 

Thrown together by their work, chefs, waitresses and porters 

from across Europe – English, Irish, German and Jewish – argue 

and flirt as they race to keep up with the orders piling up in near 

chaos. High-spirited chef Peter seems to thrive on the pressure; 

in between preparing soups, cutlets, omelettes and fruit flans, 

he starts an affair with married waitress Monique, all the while 

dreaming of a better life. But in the all-consuming clamour of the 

kitchen, nothing is far from the brink of collapse. 

The second play in the 2011–12 season of NT Live, The Kitchen 

screens at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas at 1pm on Saturday 12 

November and Sunday 13.

You have all of November to come and discover our Artist of the 

Month, Gerry Brown, and her colourful, funny, quirky and funky ‘Indian 

collages’. 

Since moving to Mullumbimby, Gerry has travelled twice to India and 

was greatly infl uenced by the colour and vibrancy of the country. 

She then produced this body of work in two distinct painting 

techniques: watercolour and acrylics but adding to both multi media 

and collage… anything from feathers to mirrors, Indian ribbons to 

shiny beads.

ECHO EVENING TELEVISION GUIDE 

Aunty pays tribute to Australian animator and director Sarah Watt, who 

died of cancer last week aged 53, by playing her moving and funny film 

Look Both Ways (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm). Starring Sarah’s husband William 

McInnes and Justine Clarke as the Watt-like Meryl, the film chronicles the 

mishaps of a worrywart who sees disaster at every turn, expressed brilliantly 

by Watt’s animation. A wonderful legacy from an inspiring life.

Anonymous 

The debate is resurrected 

from time to time about 

who really wrote the works 

of William Shakespeare. Was 

it Ben Jonson? Christopher 

Marlowe? Or somebody else 

who happened to call himself 

Shakespeare? (God forbid that 

it might have been a lowly, 

known actor, a commoner 

from the shires.) No conspiracy 

theory yet has proved to have 

legs, but the subject is always 

good for a ‘what if’ story. The 

name of Edward de Vere, Earl 

of Oxford (Rhys Ifans), has now 

been thrown into the ring 

and if the worth of director 

Roland Emmerlich’s labours is 

lost in the convoluted telling 

of his pot-boiler, that does not 

mean that he has not made a 

ripper movie. Nonetheless, the 

question must be confronted – 

ABDUCTION 

THE 

WHISTLEBLOWER 

PARANORMAL 

MIDNIGHT ACTIVITY 3 

IN PARIS FINAL 7 DAYS 

despite the implausibility of his 

argument and the fantastically 

long bows that he has drawn 

(the Oedipan incest was a bit 

much, even for me), how many 

people will swallow it as fact? 

No less a theatrical luminary 

than Derek Jacobi presents 

the case for de Vere with an 

almost regal introduction and 

summary, but I fancy that the 

fi lm should be appreciated 

fi rst and foremost as an 

entertainment and, as such, it’s 

as good a costume drama as 

you are likely to see this year (to 

be honest, I loved it). To do with 

the succession of the English 

monarchy – before fl ashbacks 

to her youth, the story begins 

with Elizabeth in her dotage, 

without an heir, and James VI 

of Scotland being positioned 

to accede to the throne – the 

fi lm’s fi nest achievements are 

visual and atmospheric. Aerial

shots of Elizabethan London 

are splendid (CGI can do this 

so convincingly), while the 

rowdy, participatory nature 

of performances at the Globe 

are spine tingling – wait for 

Henry V’s famous speech 

before the Battle of Agincourt 

and see how the crowd reacts 

to it, and later, the thinly 

disguised presentation of the 

Queen’s advisor, hunchbacked 

William Cecil, as the longreviled 

Richard III (it makes 

much contemporary theatre 

look insipid and irrelevant). 

Bogus but intriguing. ~ John 

Campbell 

The Hunter 

Screen funding bodies have 

never been reluctant to throw 

money at projects that present 

Australia in a negative light. 

The arts community in general 

looks down on the mob and 

likes nothing better than to 

rub its nose in what it regards 

as its insensitivity. Though not 

codifi ed in so many words, 

you’d be forgiven for thinking 

that the guiding principle for 

the industry’s bureaucrats is ‘if 

it makes ’em feel rotten, we’ll 

back it’. It follows, then, that 

this movie must be seen as a 

triumph, for I wanted to neck 

myself at its close. In fact, there 

are fatalities near the end, at 

the hands of an intruder who 

plays no part in proceedings 

before or after, that I can only 

assume were written into the 

script to ratchet up the misery 

component (thus making it 

more deep and meaningful 

to the boffi ns). Willem Dafoe 

(yes, we are still hiring overseas 

stars to pull the punters) has 

been hired to fi nd a reported 

Thylacine in the wilderness of 

western Tasmania. But even his 

motives are cause for dismay 

– a mercenary rather than 

conservator, he’s working for a 

company that wants to exploit 

a chemical in the animal’s

8.55PM 

roughneck stereotypes who 

play pool and abuse him at 

the local pub, are a hateful 

lot who you suspect had 

something to do with the 

disappearance of O’Connor’s 

idealistic husband – a plotline 

unexplored. Lovers of 

landscape cinematography will 

be in their element, for there 

are plenty of shots of Dafoe 

wandering around in the bush, 

doing that man-and-nature 

thing. But an intimate, erotically 

charged scene inspired by 

Bruce Springsteen’s I’m on Fire, 

and a spiritual minute with a 

sublime CGI Thylacine aren’t 

enough to make up for the 

boredom and browbeating. ~ 

John Campbell 

Crazy Stupid Love 

Coincidences underpin most 

fi ction, especially at the 

movies. It’s the ‘of all the gin 

joints in all the world’ principle 

– we would not have had 

one of cinema’s greatest love 

stories had Ilsa not turned up 

unannounced at Rick’s Bar, 

so its impact should never 

be dismissed. But there is a 

doozy in this warm-hearted 

and thoughtful rom-com 

that is withheld for so long 

that you’d be forgiven for 

feeling a bit dudded by what 

is an otherwise refreshingly 

sophisticated script. It 

concerns the identity, exposed 

in the climactic scene, of 

the third child of estranged 

couple Cal (Steve Carell) and 

Emily (Julianne Moore) – but 

enough said. Cal and Emily 

are separated after twentyfi 

ve years of marriage when 

Emily sleeps with workmate 

David (Kevin Bacon). Daggy 

Cal, who has never been 

with another woman, is 

devastated and hits the drink 

at a local pick-up joint. There 

he is befriended by Jacob, a 

stubble-chinned Lothario who, 

deciding that simpering Cal 

needs to man-up, transforms 

him into a ladykiller – but 

one who, deep down, still 

pines for his soulmate. Carell, 

a polished comic actor of the 

rare and endangered lowkey 

variety, is so much in his 

groove here that it would be 

easy to overlook the subtly 

juggled contributions of a 

faultless cast, all of whom are 

shown equal consideration 

by directors Glenn Ficarra and 

John Requa. The screenplay 

cleverly targets a broad 

audience by comparing and 

contrasting the relationships 

of people at diff erent stages 

of their lives – the older Cal 

and Emily, twenties-something 

Jacob and Hannah (a vibrant 

Emma Stone) and nine-yearold 

Robbie with his agonising

And what a treat it is to be in 

the company of characters 

who ring true, rather than 

foul-mouthed galoots and 

ghastly ladettes. Youngsters 

driven indoors by inclement 

weather packed the session I 

attended, and they squealed 

with laughter at anything 

risqué, but grown-ups will fi nd 

the humour more inclusive 

than mocking. The resolution is 

corny – but in the best way. ~

GOODTASTE 

Tropical Bread 

Nadia de Pietramale’s cake may only have come 

second, but to me it was an absolute winner. 

A dark-hued slab of unadorned, solid-looking 

confectionery still warm from the oven, it 

lacked the theatrics of the glorious Peach and 

Macadamia Pie which won the second annual 

Mullumbimby Farmers Market Bake-off – until 

you took a mouthful. 

Owner of ‘Milk and Honey’ Chris Pellen and 

I tried, tested and tasted most of a dizzying 

spread of cakes, tarts, pies, desserts, biscuits, 

salads and savouries which locals had 

concocted in their homes then brought 

in to the showgrounds. Ingredients had 

to be sourced from the farmers market 

previously, and apart from a preponderance of 

macadamia-starring creations, the diversity was 

as broad as the produce available in the region. 

Brazilian Nadia had made a cassava cake, using 

her mother’s recipe. It was startlingly few in 

ingredients and simple in execution, and yet 

this was the cake I actually returned to for, I am 

ashamed to say, third helpings. Dense, moist, 

ineff ably spicy, it was everything I ever want a 

cake to be. And cassava – what in God’s name 

was cassava really anyway? 

Stallholder John Piccone grows and sells this 

root crop among a plethora of rare tropical 

fruits and nuts on his 130 acres at Tyagarah. 

Before I went there to visit him he was already 

enthusing about its culinary uses. He steams, 

boils and bakes it as he would a potato; much 

later he very nearly sabotaged my diet by 

off ering me some of what we decided he 

should call Sweet Cassava Rosti. But that came 

later. 

Cassava, sometimes called yucca or manioc, is 

native to South America, fl ourishes in tropical 

and subtropical areas and is the third-largest 

source of food carbohydrates in the world.

Some describe it as the ‘bread of the tropics’. 

From it comes tapioca, made from the residue 

of the root after its poisonous prussic acid has 

been pressed out. It appears to be mostly used 

in sweet dishes, and to be sure many Asian as 

well as South American countries have their 

own (all rather similar) versions of cassava cake. 

The cassava is generally grated then combined 

with sugar, coconut or coconut milk, some form 

of fat and fl avourings, pressed into a cake form 

then baked. Nadia was gracious enough to 

share her mother’s recipe which, she told me, 

was ‘all about sustainable’. 

When she was a child growing up on a farm 

about 1200 kilometres from San Paolo, she 

would accompany her father to a neighbour’s 

sugarcane farm in order to make rapadura, 

a byproduct of sugarcane juice, and then 

exchange it for ‘the leg of a cow’. This would 

be brought home for her mother to add to the 

backyard cassava grated, the homemade butter 

and homemade cheese (like a hard ricotta, said 

Nadia), cow milk and eggs – ‘all the ingredients 

you can get at the farm’. 

Nadia, who has been in Australia since 1995, 

adapted the recipe a little – her own cassava 

was still growing so was not ready; she used a 

mixture of cheeses, neither homemade – but 

yielded nonetheless this most extraordinary 

cake. The rapadura sugar she sourced from the 

market and I suspect it was this which endowed 

the cake with its slightly spicy, faintly caramely 

fl avour. 

Something else Nadia said remained with me. 

Cassava is so resistant to extremes of weather, 

tolerating long winter droughts and summer 

rains and thriving on the poorest soils, that 

you can always rely on it as a food source. To 

think of that much possible pleasure so freely 

accessible in your own backyard!

The Byron at Byron showcases fi ne food with passion.

Byron Bay surf life savers deliver great results at Salt 

Rough seas and a strong sweep 

gave organisers an early headache 

at the fi rst junior carnival 

of the season at Salt on Sunday. 

Water events were put on 

hold and the program was rearranged 

to accommodate the 

beach events, including fl ags, 

sprints and relays. 

Byron Bay SLSC had an early 

start to the morning for those 

competing in the surfi ng, with 

the conditions obviously no 

barrier to Tom Rowley and Jy 

Timperley who finished first 

and second respectively. 

With last year’s March Past 

team taking out fi rst place on 

a regular basis, the new team 

always had their work cut out 

for them but, with their best 

foot forward, they took out the 

bronze.

Integrity takes industry award for second time in 3 years 

A subsidiary of emerging national 

property identity, the Integrity 

Group, has again taken out the 

peak New South Wales Housing 

Industry Association’s 

(HIA) Professional Medium 

Builder of the Year Award 

for 2011/2012. 

Integrity New Homes 

took out the award from a 

quality fi eld of leading builders 

for the second time in three years 

– having previously won the award in 

2008/2009. 

Integrity New Homes managing director, 

Glenn Leet, said the award recognised the efforts 

of the entire team in a diffi cult and challenging 

marketplace. 

‘Awards are not an excuse to pat yourself on 

the back,’ he said. 

‘New home construction is very competitive 

with many potential pitfalls, so it is crucial to 

remain customer focused, professional and 

concentrate on the tasks at hand. 

Termites turn off potential buyers 

A poll released by PRDn 

a - tionwide shows termite 

damage is the biggest deterrent 

for house hunters when searching 

for a new home. 

More than a third of respondents 

(43 per cent) considered 

termite damage as the most 

off -putting building fault when 

house hunting. 

The PRDnationwide survey 

found 32 per cent were deterred 

by cracks in the foundations 

while 22 per cent felt asbestos 

building materials were important 

to avoid. 

PRDnationwide managing 

director Tony Brasier said only 

three per cent thought a leaking 

swimming pool was the biggest 

deterrent. 

‘Significant termite damage 

CONVEYANCING 

‘However, when a peak industry 

group like the Housing Industry 

Association acknowledge 

the overall performance of a 

company across all aspects 

of construction from innovation 

and client communication 

through to quality 

assurance and fi nancial 

systems, it highlights the 

business is heading in the right 

direction. 

‘It also sends a message to future 

and existing clients they are dealing with a 

business which is striving, and having some 

success, in its quest to be an industry leader. 

‘We will continue to improve our business 

and strive to achieve great outcomes for our 

clients,’ Mr Leet said. 

Th e HIA Professional Builder of the Year 

Awards gauges the performance of building 

companies in Australia in four key areas including: 

customer service, leadership of the company 

and business and fi nancial management. 

may require demolition 

of a significant 

part of the home 

which would 

be extremely 

costly,’ said Mr 

Brasier. 

‘Termites are so aggressive 

they could cause hundreds of 

thousands of dollars damage to 

property in only months and a 

lot of prospective buyers are very 

wary.’ 

Mr Brasier said even though 

asbestos is widely recognised as 

a hazardous material – its removal 

can be very expensive. 

Identifying these major building 

faults is best not left to aft er 

the purchase is fi nalised, warned 

Mr Brasier. ‘Carrying out building 

and pest inspections is essential,’ 

he said. 

‘Oft en purchasing a home is a 

decision made with the heart – 

but to avoid heartbreak these issues 

need to be evaluated before 

rushing in to purchasing.’ 

He said it was also a good idea 

for sellers to have these problems 

rectifi ed to increase the chances

THE NORTH COAST’S REAL ESTATE GUIDE 

Time is running out for NSW fi rst home buyers 

Stamp duty concessions to be scrapped at the end of the year 

First Home Buyers (FHBs) may fi nd that 

property purchases within their reach could 

be up to $17,990 more expensive on January 1 

following the NSW State Government’s decision 

to scrap stamp duty concessions. 

According to Aussie’s Founder and Executive 

Chairman John Symond, ‘a combination 

of price infl ation over the last 10 years and a 

lack of new housing have combined to make 

the goal of home ownership completely out 

of reach.’ 

He said many potentially face a lifetime 

of living in apartments, however that window 

of opportunity is quickly diminishing as 

their prices continue to rise as well. 

‘The scrapping of the concessions will 

mean many FHBs may be priced out of the 

market.

‘Th ose who have been counting on the 

concessions and may have only just scraped 

enough together, might fi nd themselves unable 

to purchase come January 1.’ 

For example, a FHB who is looking to 

buy a property worth $500,000 may now be 

looking at a purchase worth $517,990, as the 

stamp duty post Jan 1 will be $17,990. 

In NSW, FHBs currently receive an exemption 

from paying stamp duty for property 

purchases under $500,000, with graduated 

discounts between $500,000 and $600,000. 

From January 1 next year, the stamp duty 

concessions will apply only to new homes, 

including those built off the plan. 

FHBs must have exchanged signed contracts 

before December 31, 2011, to be eligible 

for the stamp duty exemption. 

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 

the average weekly earnings for a fulltime 

adult worker are around $53,000 per 

year. Based on saving 20 per cent of pre-tax 

earnings, a couple earning this amount would 

have to save for approximately 5.5 years to 

save a 20 per cent deposit on a purchase of 

$500,000 ($100,000 + 17,990 stamp duty). 

With the stamp duty exemption on off er 

($17,990 waived), the same couple would 

only have had to save for 4.7 years for the 20 

per cent deposit.

The Carnival Of Life And 

Death is on again this weekend 

at Mullumbimby Civic 

Hall and Heritage Park. You’ll 

be able to honour the dead at 

Heritage Park at 3pm on Sunday, 

dance to Ali Baba at the 

Civic Hall on Friday at 7.30pm 

and take in ‘A Dying Art’ exhibition. 

Our Mandy comments 

on death this week in Soapbox. 

Our favourite version of Death 

is Terry Pratchett’s Death from 

his Discworld series of books. 

He talks in capital letters and 

likes cats. For example: ‘Don’t 

think of it as dying, said 

Death. Just think of it as 

leaving early to avoid the 

rush.’ 

�� 

As if cyclists without lights 

weren’t bad enough, a resident 

now reports dog-walking in 

the dark on Tyagarah Road. 

Having narrowly avoided a collision 

with his car, the resident 

notes: ‘As a retired member of 

a career where I have seen too 

many bodies and body parts 

on roadways, visited too many 

homes to tell people that their 

son/daughter/parent/s were 

killed on the road that night 

and then having to have them 

view and identify the damaged 

bodies to me, memories 

that don’t haunt me but never 

ever leave me, I make this plea 

you all those who walk there 

dogs at night on the side of the 

road, please, please DON’T 

DO IT.’ 

�� 

Further cautionary advice 

comes from a family who lost 

their dog, they hypothesise, after 

someone poisoned a dog 

water bowl in the Byron Arts & 

Industry Estate: ‘To all the kind 

folks out there who thoughtfully 

keep a dog bowl outside 

your business, please be aware 

that some freak could lace it, 

and for all the pet owners who 

leave your pets casually outside 

while you shop, at the very 

least please rinse a courtesy 

bowl and refi ll yourself – noone 

wants this kind of horror 

Benno Summers – aka the lord of Duke Frederick’s court – and Rosiland played by Rebecca Magnus 

were part of the cast of last week’s performance of a steam punk version of Bill ’Anonymous’ 

Shakespeare’s As You Like It staged by Shearwater School. Photo Jeff ‘Dream Punk’ Dawson

Zumba instructor Belen Kimble-Fuller 

has had her banners 

stolen from locations in Ocean 

Shores. If you can shed some 

light on their whereabouts, 

give her a call on 0401 858 242,

As Council happily points out 

in a media release, Tourism 

Research Australia’s recent Byron 

Shire Visitor Profi le and 

Satisfaction Report shows that 

87% of visitors were satisfi ed 

with their visit to Byron Shire. 

Let’s put that down to Mother 

Nature rather than the eff orts 

of Council or Byron United, 

shall we? Without Her, there’s 

no real point to visiting.

Surfers and wave lovers, ABC 

Science’s surfi ng scientist Ruben 

Meerman gives you the 

opportunity to make your own 

wave at http://bit.ly/rERGXZ. 

You’ll have to use your mind 

to surf it. Do thoughts move 

in an orbital motion, or just 

dump unceremoniously upon 

the sands of time?

What Liberal Senator Ian 

Macdonald really meant by his 

comment that GetUp members 

(some of them even older 

than 60-year-old Backlash) are 

‘the Hitler Youth wing of the 

Greens’ was ‘somebody please 

get me a brain – this one isn’t 

working’.
