80 PER CENT ENTERTAINMENT BY VOLUME 

Tough financial times 

Council’s working reserves close to empty; investments hit by GFC 

Ray Moynihan 

Byron Shire Council is shedding staff 

and raising fees for child care and 

other services to help off set the costs 

of expensive legal battles, growing interest 

repayments and losses from the 

global fi nancial crisis. 

Fees for child care, aft er-school and 

vacation care will all jump by more 

than 10 per cent as Council makes its 

community services ‘cost neutral’ and 

prunes and saves elsewhere to try to 

balance the books. 

‘Th ere’s a tough period ahead, and 

we need to take ongoing action to keep 

costs under control,’ says Councillor 

Basil Cameron, the head of Council’s 

newly created fi nance committee. 

Financial statements show Council’s 

total turnover is around $65 million, 

and it has spent almost $700,000 

more than it earned this past year, 

causing it to dip into working fund 

reserves, which have fallen as a result 

to just under $200,000. 

Council’s aim is to try to build that 

reserve to $1 million to act as a buff er 

to deal with unexpected events, and 

despite having already lost 15 staff positions, 

it will continue to reduce costs 

and raise fees for parking, caravan 

parks, and planning applications. 

A range of factors have caused 

Council’s fi nancial woes in the past 

year including more than a million 

dollars in legal expenses, heft y loan 

repayments for major projects like the 

new sports fi eld, and a loss of almost 

$1 million in interest from investments 

hit by the global fi nancial crisis. 

Investment losses 

Th e fi nancial statements show that 

outside of its everyday working fund, 

Council holds more than $50 million 

in longer-term investments and cash 

holdings. 

Of that sum, more than $14 million 

of investments is currently not 

returning any interest, which means 

that while the capital is safe, Council 

is missing out on almost $1 million a 

year in expected income. 

One particular investment in a 

complex financial product called a 

‘Collateralised Debt Obligation’ resulted 

in a direct loss of $1.6 million. 

In addition, more than $15 million 

of Council’s cash deposits are currently 

not covered by the federal government’s 

guarantee. 

‘Like other councils we took a bit 

of a hit over investments, post GFC,’ 

says Cr Cameron, although the investments 

were in line with government 

rules. 

Councillor Ross Tucker told Th e 

Echo last week Council is ‘close to being 

broke’, and in May he said the 

fi nancial position was approaching 

the edge of a cliff . 

‘We are in a boat coming up to Niagara 

Falls,’ he declared. 

Continuing the metaphor but rejecting 

the analysis, Cr Cameron told 

The Echo ‘as long as we’re careful, 

we’ll stay a safe distance back from 

the edge of the cliff .’ 

National issue for councils 

Byron’s challenges are taking place 

against a backdrop of fi nancial diffi 

culties for local governments across 

the country. 

In New South Wales those diffi culties 

are particularly severe, because 

unlike other states, general rates here 

have been capped for many years, 

oft en below the level of infl ation, effectively 

meaning long-term decline 

in rate revenues. 

Economics Professor at the University 

of New England, Brian Dollery, 

says there’s a ‘big crisis in fi nancial 

sustainability for councils nationally, 

which is quite acute in New South 

Wales, because of rate capping.’ 

Unable to reduce services, but with 

declining revenues, councils have cut 

back on maintenance of infrastructure 

like pools, footpaths and water 

mains, though there has been some 

relief from direct government grants 

for roads and other services. 

While Byron Council estimates it 

needs to spend an extra $7 million a 

year to maintain its infrastructure to 

a decent standard, the national fi gure 

for all councils is over $2 billion.

Bruns boarding house bid rejected 

Luis Feliu 

Byron Shire councillors have ovewhelmingly 

rejected a proposal to redevelop 

a gym and squash centre in 

Teven Street, Brunswick Heads, into 

a 33-unit boarding house. 

The decision supports residents 

who see it as an overdevelopment 

which would have ruined the character 

of the village and amenity of 

the street. 

Th e 8-1 decision (Cr Ross Tucker 

against) was met with applause and 

relief at Thursday’s meeting, while 

the couple behind the plan said they 

would appeal the decision in the Land 

and Environment Court. 

Mayor Jan Barham succeeded in 

her motion to refuse a staff recommendation 

approving the change of 

use and redevelopment of the 30-yearold 

gymansium, squash courts and 

indoor swimming pool centre into a 

boarding house. 

Objections included impact of 

noise and traffi c on neighbours, its 

out-of-character nature and density 

in the street and village, increased 

traffic, insufficient onsite parking, 

lack of privacy and low standard of 

living and amenity for the boarding 

house residents. 

Th e development application was 

made late last year under the state 

government’s contentious affordable 

housing policy which the new

Marine Parks review begins 

Leading scientists warn of large-scale species extinction in oceans 

Ray Moynihan 

The state government’s ‘scientifi 

c audit’ of marine parks 

has begun, with environment 

groups welcoming the appointment 

of an academic ecologist 

as its chair. 

Queensland University Associate 

Professor Bob Beeton 

will head the audit, which will 

review the science surrounding 

marine parks and investigate 

how well they’re protecting 

biodiversity. 

Professor Beeton is an ecologist 

with much experience in 

environmental management, 

and a former chair of the federal 

government’s State of the 

Environment committee. 

His review of marine parks is 

already accepting submissions 

from the public, and is due to 

report by the end of the year.

Bruns boarding house rejected by Council 


after several development 

proposals under the policy 

sparked widespread community 

protests and court action. 

In May, planning minister 

Brad Hazzard called for an immediate 

halt to new DAs under 

the policy, which aimed at 

boosting aff ordable housing. 

The Teven Street development 

was designed by owners 

Murray and Julia Stebbing to 

comply with the 2009 State Environmental 

Planning Policy 

(SEPP) for affordable rental 

housing which gives developers 

concessions, such as fewer 

parking spaces and smaller 

room sizes, to encourage affordable 

rental housing. 

Policy for the city 

Cr Barham slammed the policy, 

however, as a ‘metropolitan 

response’ to the issue and unsuitable 

for regional areas. 

‘I fully support affordable 

housing projects, we need 

them here, but this one just 

goes too far. The problem is 

that it’s not in an urban setting 

but in a small, quiet village 

atmosphere; it’s too much and 

in the wrong spot; there’ll be 


‘Councils have been in a 

squeeze,’ says Professor Dollery, 

a nationally recognised expert 

in local government. 

Speaking generally – rather 

than specifi cally about Byron – 

he said running an operational 

deficit was not unusual, and 

that an investment portfolio in 

excess of $50 million appeared 

to represent a healthy position. 

Asked about the large legal 

bill of more than $1 million a 

year he told Th e Echo it’s a ‘real 

shame when public funds are 

handed over to lawyers.’ 

Independent auditors gave 

social tensions and dislocation.’ 

Cr Barham said the longterm 

residents of Teven Street and 

surrounds had opposed the 

squash centre when it was fi rst 

proposed in the early 1970s but 

had come to accept it would 

be used only for its part-time 

sporting facilities. 

‘Th is could set a precedent for 

an unacceptable level of density 

and we don’t want to see the 

character of Brunswick Heads 

lost like so many other places.’ 

Mrs Stebbing told the meeting 

that local rental prices were 

out of reach for many people 

and the development was an 

aff ordable housing solution. 

She said it was an adaptive 

reuse of the existing building 

rather than building a new 

one from scratch and the units 

were compact to make them 

aff ordable. 

Cr Richard Staples said he 

felt ‘uneasy about the fact of all 

those single people in all those 

single boxes’ and feared it could 

create a ‘party atmosphere’. 

He also questioned whether 

its proposed low-cost rentals 

would be guaranteed. 

‘A “boarding house” doesn’t 

mean much, we have one at

Similar DA withdrawn in Sydney 

Luis Feliu 

A controversial proposal for 

a boarding house in western 

Sydney was withdrawn 

last week after months of 

protests by hundreds of angry 

residents. 

The proposal to house 42 

people in the 21-room, twostorey 

temporary boarding 

house on a quarter-acre block 

in suburban Toongabbie was 

set to be considered by the 

Land and Environment Court.

MP Nathan Rees, joined the

A Westpac Lifesaver Rescue 

helicopter was cancelled en- 

route to the scene of a motor 

vehicle accident near Mullumbimby 

on Monday. 

Th e accident happened mid- 

morning and one person reportedly 

died at the scene. 

According to a spokesperson 

for Byron Bay Police, no 

further information would be 

released until later, as the nextof-kin 

had yet to be notifi ed. 

Council faces hard economic times 

in Byron were already high, it 

had not made a good case for 

an increase, and it needed a 

longterm fi nancial plan. 

Unhappy with the decision, 

Mayor and Upper House member 

Jan Barham says she will 

write to IPART to explain Byron’s 

particular circumstances, 

as it tries to manage the high 

impacts of mass tourism with 

a low base of ratepayers. 

Defending Council’s financial 

management, she 

also told The Echo it could 

have communicated better 

with the community about 

the investment losses from 

it, saying the boarding house 

would be detrimental to the 

neighbourhood, would set a 

bad precedent and was more 

suited to Sydney’s CBD rather 

than the residential Blacktown 

area. 

Planning minister Brad 

Hazzard has described the 

aff ordable rental housing 

policy that was passed by the 

previous Labor government as 

giving ‘an avenue for smalltime 

developers to rip into 

local communities and change 

their entire face.’ 

The policy is currently being 

reviewed.

was being developed. 

Rejecting suggestions the 

Council is broke, Mr Faulkner 

said councillors were ‘entitled to 

be concerned about the fi nancial 

position’ because of the ‘imbalance 

between revenues and 

expenditure’, but that the cut- 

backs should ‘achieve balance.’

New Brighton sports fi eld moves 

ahead, despite objections 

Hans Lovejoy 

A DA (development application) 

preparation is underway 

after Council voted this 

week to expand on the existing 

sports fi eld in New Brighton. 

At morning public access, a 

New Brighton resident spoke 

against the proposal, citing 

environmental concerns, and 

asked for other alternatives such 

as Dung Oval in Billinudgel. 

‘It is a threatened species 

habitat – for example, it’s next 

to a loggerhead turtle nesting 

area, it is fl ood prone and signifi 

cant fi ll will be required.’ 

Speaking in favour of the 

fi eld was Ocean Shores soccer 

club president Mark Patton. 

‘Please support this DA – 

we’re not asking for a 16 million 

dollar sports fi eld… no more 

studies, this is council’s chance.’ 

He stressed the importance 

for the club to have change 

rooms and facilities. 

Cr Tucker spoke cautiously 

RTA to meet with Bangalow 

residents over interchange 

The RTA has called a public 

meeting for 6pm at Bangalow’s 

A&I Hall on Wednesday July 6 

to discuss the proposed interchange 

for the town. 

‘It’s a great win for Bangalow,’ 

said Tony Hart, vice president of 

Bangalow Progress Association. 

‘Since 2008 we’ve been telling 

the RTA that we don’t want 

their interchange and the problems 

it’s going to cause for us as 

a community.’ 

Prior to the recent NSW government 

elections, Don Page, 

MP for Ballina and Minister for 

Local Government, promised to 

put the Bangalow interchange 

on hold and to thoroughly investigate 

the authenticity of 

the RTA’s claims that the interchange 

was necessary. 

His promise for that and a 

Let your Education 

be the beginning

on the fi elds. ‘Th ere’s a lot to 

be done before this goes ahead. 

‘The state government has 

ultimate control, it is contrary 

to our LEP and the project may 

eat up a lot of money.’ 

Cr Morrisey said the report 

to Council suggests that a lot 

of fi ll will be required. 

‘It’s a sensitive ecological 

area, and unreasonable to give 

expecatations that it will go 

ahead. It is way beyond our 

means and irresponsible.’ 

Mayor Barham claimed the 

land did not contain high conservation, 

‘though the northern 

section does. It’s the only available 

opportunity, and is opposite 

an existing sports fi eld.’ 

Th e project will be funded by

Coast and Lighthouse Road repairs neck and neck 

Simeon Michaels 

Good news for Lennox Head 

residents this week as engineers 

finalise designs for repair 

of the Coast Road near 

the lookout. 

It’s been a one-way street 

since a 30-metre section of the 

shoulder collapsed aft er heavy 

rainfall last January. 

‘We are hopeful that we can 

start construction in August, 

and we expect the construction 

period to be around three 

months,’ says Council’s John 

Truman, group manager of 

civil services. 

The current design aims 

to stabilise the road edge at 

the point of the collapse, and 

Council engineers say they are 

satisfi ed that the remainder of 

the road is suffi ciently stable to 

A boat capsized on the Brunswick 

Bar mid-morning on 

Sunday, according to Surf Life 

Saving Far North Coast. 

The Brunswick SLSC was 

alerted and immediately responded, 

and two middle-aged 

men and a male teenager were 

all rescued without incident. 

At 1.40pm, again on Sunday, 

the Ballina Jet Rescue Boat was 

sent via the Support Services’ 

tasking system to another 

overturned boat on the Rich- 

Activities for NAIDOC week 

are planned this week in Ballina 

Shire, including stalls day 

at the Ballina amphitheatre, 

sports day at Kingsford Smith 

Oval and a family day at Captain 

Cook Park on the foreshore 

of the Richmond River 

in Ballina. 

All these events have been 

coordinated by Aboriginal 

community groups and Ballina 

Shire Council. 

A NAIDOC art exhibition 

withstand future high rainfall. 

Accordingly, no preventive 

measures are planned outside 

the ‘slippage 24 area’, says 

Mr Truman. 

Blocked ocean view 

Meanwhile, Lennox’s iconic 

surf break has disappeared 

from view, at least for motorists 

commuting to Ballina. 

While the fence itself is necessary, 

the orange plastic coating 

‘doesn’t exactly go with the 

décor of a seaside town,’ says 

a local resident, who is one of 

many who says he misses the 

glimpses of ocean on the way 

to work and home. 

Blocking the view wasn’t a 

deliberate measure on behalf of 

the Council – there is no safety 

imperative – and replacement 

of the orange plastic with wire

Th ere were two people that 

were located in the water. 

One male was rescued by 

the Ballina Jet Boat with another 

being helped back to 

shore by a member of the public 

on a jet ski. 

One person was transported 

to hospital for observation. 

Later on in the afternoon, 

the Ballina Jet Boat was again 

tasked to assist a disabled vessel 

located east of Ballina.

Council say they are 

willing to listen to feedback. 

Residents wishing to express 

their view (no pun intended), 

should contact the general 

manager on 6686 4444. 

As for traffi c conditions, ‘A 

major proportion of the work 

will be able to be completed 

under the existing traffi c control 

arrangements; however, we 

do expect for a period that it 

will be necessary to close the 

Coast Road,’ says Mr Truman, 

who added he is determined to 

complete the works as quickly 

as possible.

Ballina Shire Council is

Th e Clunes community protest 

against an Optus tower attracted 

close to a hundred people 

on the weekend.

The Echo that the 40-metre

impressed the crowd. 

She said that the Lismore 

mayor had spoken encouragingly 

and promised her support. 

Th e greatest victory was that 

According to the Byron 

Shire Council’s website, the 

work is also due for completion 

in November. 

Byron’s Lighthouse Road 

delays were caused by difficulties 

fi nding a competitive 

tender followed by funding 

shortages. 

Asked whether Ballina Shire 

may hit the same roadblocks, 

Ballina Council’s Mr Truman 

says that the restoration will 

mainly be conducted with 

Council’s internal resources, 

and that the August start-date 

factors in negotiations with the 

RTA for funding. 

Will Ballina give Byron a sixyear 

head start and still beat 

them to the fi nish line? 

‘It’s not a race,’ was the closest 

to comment drawn from 

either Council.

Stop ya scribble: BU 

Vice-president of Byron United, 

Paul Waters, is calling for 

help from the community to 

help identify those who are 

vandalising Byron Bay with 

unsightly graffi ti. 

Two weeks ago the business 

group painted fi ve of the bus 

stops in town that had been 

vandalised. Funding from 

Keep Australia Beautiful, NSW, 

assisted with the project. 

Since then the bus stops have 

once again been tagged.

sooner or later.’ 

Mr Waters says it appears 

there are two serial off enders. 

‘We need the community’s 

assistance in fi nding these vandals. 

Th e tagging is town wide, 

not just on the bus stops – in 

some areas, lettering covers 

whole walls and fences. 

‘We ask that the community 

keeps a watch and makes reports

Byron Arts Factory community 

garden launched 

Th e new sustainable community 

garden at Byron Bay’s Arts 

Factory is offi cially open. 

A collaboration between the 

Permaculture Research Institute 

of Australia and the Arts 

Factory Lodge, it was designed 

to provide the opportunity for 

international travellers to grow 

their own organic produce 

during their stay. 

About 70 backpackers, permaculture 

students and staff 

gathered in the garden for the 

launch. 

Operations manager Peggy 

O’Neill told The Echo that 

they were hoping backpackers 

would come in and volunteer 

their time in the garden, in return 

taking away a basket of 

fruit and vegetables. 

They had already contributed 

to the project with various 

forms of artwork made out of 

recycled materials and installed 

netting over the raised beds. 

Lettuce, cabbage, beans and 

peas, guava, raspberries, drag- 

Graeme Quirk 

Byron’s moviegoers will be celebrating 

the reopening of the 

iconic Pighouse Flicks on Friday 

July 8 – the Bay’s original 

cinema. 

Th e cinema has undergone a 

complete renovation including 

total upgrading of the picture 

and sound systems. There’s 

even a new popcorn machine. 

Additionally there’s new paint, 

carpet, lounges and screen, and 

a huge eff ort has been made to 

retain the relaxed lounge atmosphere 

that has set the cinema 

apart for the past 17 years. 

Longtime moviegoers will 

remember that the cinema 

was started by Dave Patman in 

1995. Being the only movie theatre 

in town, the small cinema 

was oft en packed with people 

sitting on the fl oor. Dave was 

last seen hanging at the beach 

and has handed over the usher’s 

torch to locals Kristin Ellis 

and Paul McDonald. 

Kristin’s vision for the future 

of the theatre is for it to be a 

‘home to the arts – We’ve delib- 

on fruit and a herb, ‘spiral,’ are 

just some of the crops planted. 

Managing director of the Permaculture 

Institute Geoff Lawton 

said that his students had 

worked on the garden as part of 

their 10-week internship. 

‘Th e design is all theirs,’ he 

told Th e Echo. 

Th e community garden will 

also house a composting system 

and a nursery to propagate 

native seeds which will eventually 

revegetate the garden and 

further the future regeneration 

of the surrounding Cumbebin 

Wetlands. 

In her launch address Administration 

Assistant Angie 

Wilton told the crowd that the 

garden would be relying on 

volunteer time until it became 

productive. 

It will be open on Monday 

and Wednesday mornings 

from 9am till 11am and available 

not only to those staying at 

the Arts Factory Lodge but also 

to the local community. 

Pighouse Flicks makeover 

erately designed the new furniture 

so that it can be moved 

around to make the venue fl exible 

for other projects, like a 

performance space. We’d also 

like local fi lmmakers to premiere 

their own fi lms here’. 

Th e digital projectors are automatically 

colour graded by 

a computer that ‘looks’ at the 

screen and the sound system 

is adjusted by a computer that 

‘listens’ to the room. 

Paul says, ‘It was a bit sad to 

see the old projectors go but a 

fi lmmaker mate of mine shot 

the old setup for posterity – 

strangely enough we will be 

able to show footage of the old 

theatre in the new theatre.’ 

When quizzed about programming 

criteria Paul and 

Kristin have a simple answer. 

‘There is a whole world of 

amazing independent films 

which rarely make it to the big 

screen, especially in regional 

Australia. We obviously have a 

very keen fi lm-loving audience 

in this area and we aim to provide 

alternatives to the current 

Hollywood movie genres.’

Farewell Jann Whiting Subiaco: 1944 – 2011 

John Lind 

Subiaco was Jann’s adopted 

surname, and his place of birth; 

born Jan Bowen Whiting, he 

later added the surname, which 

is a suburb of Perth, WA. 

It was there his Australian 

mother Joyce Adderley Bowen 

met his American father, Billy 

Jones Whiting, a submariner in 

the US Navy when he was recuperating 

from a war wound 

from a battle in the Pacifi c. 

He left Australia with his 

family when he was one year 

old, moving through various 

US naval bases, including 

Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, and 

San Diego. 

He discovered his love for 

surfi ng at the age of six at Hawaii’s 

famous Makaha beach. 

Also in his early childhood, 

Jann became interested in 

art, starting with pictures of 

brightly coloured fi shes. 

His parents gave him his fi rst 

Brownie camera when he was 

eleven. He photographed everything 

he could ‘while chasing 

rattlesnakes and lizards 

through the cactus-fi lled canyons,’ 

above his East San Diego 

home. 

He entered San Diego State 

University as a maths major but 

soon realised, ‘while working on 

the square root of a minus one,’ 

in an advanced trigonometry 

class that ‘it was all illusion.’ 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Studio 

 

He changed to Fine Art with 

Art History as part of the curriculum. 

‘Th e world came together 

in a discernible pattern 

before my eyes; whereas everything 

before had been facts and 

dates, having little relevance.’ 

This further stimulated his 

skills as an artist, photographer, 

stonemason, builder and carpenter. 

His lust for travel and 

photography was inspired by 

the many cultures of the world. 

His welcome skills as a chef 

commenced as an assistant 

cook in a kibbutz in southern 

Galilee, and also on an oil- rig 

in the East Timor Sea. 

Jann’s expansive spiritual 

and philosophical journey was 

enriched by encounters with 

Fritz Perls, the father of Gestalt 

Th erapy, and Alan Watts, 

who introduced the notion 

of Zen-consciousness to the 

 

 

 

www.funkymoves.com.au 

West. Upon graduating from 

San Diego State University 

with a BA in Fine Arts, he travelled 

with two surfi ng friends 

in a Kombi through Mexico to 

Central America, enjoying the 

sea and photographing. 

Th e journey was also ‘a revelation 

to worldliness’ when he 

realized that Central America 

was ‘a looming disaster with regards 

to US right-wing politics.’ 

He saw and experienced 

things that made him realise 

that he no longer wanted to live 

in the US. Th is was 1969. 

Aft er four years of travelling, 

Jann arrived in Darwin, NT, 

in 1973. 

By now Jann had become 

a professional photographer, 

travel guide, and cook. 

He was particularly drawn to 

the mystical grandeur of nature, 

and the human condition in 

Fines for unapproved tree removal 

Th ree on-the-spot fi nes totaling 

$6,000 for unauthorised 

tree removal have been issued 

over the past month in Byron 

Shire, say Council. 

Byron Shire Council governance 

manager Ralph James said 

the incidents were reported 

by community members and 

Council offi cers were sent out 

to inspect the sites. 

‘For the tree removalists, it 

was a costly day and would 

not have occurred if they had 

phoned Council fi rst,’ he said. 

It is an off ence to remove, 

damage or destroy a tree without 

Council approval. 

Byron Shire Council Tree 

Preservation Order applies to 

any species of tree, palm or 

fern exceeding three metres in 

height, and any species of native 

plant within a community 

described as heath, mangrove, 

saltmarsh or sedgeland (of any 

height). 

Some exemptions do apply

Volume 26 #04 July 5, 2011 

Losing our brains 

Normally I have little time for baronesses, especially the awful 

Maggie Thatcher, but one intriguing example of the species is 

Oxford University’s Baroness Susan Greenfi eld, a scientist and 

speaker of the fi rst order. Greenfi eld’s domain is the fascinating 

landscape of the brain, that part of us which distinguishes us 

from your everyday cabbage. 

Even the most brilliant among us are not exempt from the 

danger of losing the brain. Witness British novelist Terry Pratchett, 

now coping with early-onset Alzheimer’s, who gave $US1 million 

for dementia research. Unfortunately not all governments are as 

generous as Pratchett. Which brings us to Greenfi eld’s Australian 

tour on behalf of Alzheimer’s Australia. ‘There is an inexplicable 

and disturbing disparity in funding for research between 

dementia and other chronic conditions,’ she says. 

‘In Australia, dementia research receives approximately $20 

million – a little more than four per cent of the total amount 

spent on research for all chronic diseases – despite the fact that it 

is already the third leading cause of death in this country.’ 

And it would be reasonable to expect the incidence of 

dementia to increase with those products of the post-war fertility, 

the Baby Boomers, hitting pensionable age. 

Dementia is not always a pleasant way to shuffl e off this mortal 

coil – I vividly remember my mother’s moments of irrational 

terror in her last years – and it sometimes imposes huge burdens 

on families and carers. 

Once we’ve fi nished saving the whale, perhaps we can move 

on to saving the brain.

Brown’s Greens need a reality check 

It is time for Bob Brown and 

his supporters to have a cup 

of tea, a Bex and a good lie 

down – or failing that, a serious 

reality check. 

Let us be clear: on July 1, 

nothing substantial changed. 

Yes, the new Greens senators 

were installed, and the party 

now has nine, making it a genuine 

minority party – but that’s 

it, a minority. 

Without the support of one 

of the major parties they can 

achieve precisely nothing. 

Yes, Labor needs their support 

to pass its legislation, but 

Labor has always needed that 

anyway; the only diff erence is 

that the government no longer 

needs the support of independents 

as well. 

And yes, they can block any 

bills the coalition seeks to introduce 

into the senate; but 

since no coalition bills have 

got through the House of 

Representatives since the last 

election, this doesn’t matter 

much either. 

The Greens have no more 

and no less power now than 

they had on June 30. 

And nor have they suddenly 

assumed potential majority 

status. Bob Brown’s prediction 

(to The Australian’s Dennis 

Shanahan, of all people) that 

one day the Greens would 

replace Labor as one of Australia’s 

two mainstream parties 

was pure braggadocio. 

Th e only reason that it was 

taken even half seriously was 

that both Labor and coalition 

look so unattractive at present 

and the Greens, at least in their 

own perception, off er a more 

appealing alternative. 

But the hard fact remains 

that the Greens are, always 

have been and always will be, 

a minority party appealing to a 

minority of voters. It is true that 

voting patterns are more volatile 

now than they have been 

for some time, but in spite of 

1 st 

some movement between the 

parties, about 80 per cent of 

the electorate remains firmly 

in the middle, roughly split between 

centre right and centre 

left , with about ten per cent of 

radicals at either end. 

And that left end is where the 

Greens have staked their claim 

– note that the latest polls put 

their vote at 11 per cent, actually 

down a little from the last 

election. 

Th e hard fact remains that the 

Greens are, always have been 

and always will be, a minority 

party. 

by Mungo MacCallum 

Note also that in the state 

election in New South Wales, 

even with an electorate said 

to be sadly disillusioned by 

both major parties, they managed 

to pick up just one Lower 

House seat and in Victoria 

they failed altogether. 

Th e Greens have become the 

dominant minority group in 

the Senate, replacing the DLP 

and the Democrats, and look 

set to hold that position for 

some time, but that’s where it 

begins and ends. 

Of course their political 

power is greatly exaggerated at 

present because the presence 

of Adam Bandt in the House of 

Representatives but it is most 

unlikely that the next parliament 

will also be hung and unless 

it is, Bandt, even if he holds 

his seat, will be just another 

backbench independent. 

The Greens are certainly 

an interesting and dynamic 

development and will have 

considerable infl uence on the 

future direction of politics in 

Australia.

But under our present 

structure, within the formal 

process of government they 

will seldom have more than 

nuisance value. 

Not that the formal process 

of government appears to have 

all that much to off er at present. 

Commentators have noted 

the descent into sloganeering 

and personal insult and it is 

true that the broadcast of question 

time is approaching the 

point where it will need an introduction 

warning of coarse 

language and scenes that viewers 

might fi nd distressing. 

But far more worrying in 

the long term is the fl ight from 

rationality. A raw tribalism 

is taking over: my side right, 

your side wrong and there is no 

room for argument or debate. 

It is disturbing enough that 

a serious number of our elected 

representatives reject the 

science of climate change as 

either a conspiracy to undermine 

society or a some kind 

of voodoo put forward by a 

self-interested elite. 

But this refusal to countenance 

expert opinion is now 

extending to science in general 

and indeed to every area in 

which there is a need for informed 

discussion. 

Last week Tony Abbott told 

an enthusiastic audience of 

miners that if virtually every 

living economist considered 

a price on carbon a cheaper 

and more eff ective way of reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions 

than his so-called ‘direct 

action’ plan, then that said 

something about economists, 

didn’t it? 

He stopped short of calling 

the entire discipline of economics 

crap, as he once designated 

climate science, but he 

made it clear that if economists 

disagreed with him then they 

were, quite simply wrong, and 

not worth listening to. 

Everyone was out of step 

except our Tony. And what’s 

more the opinion polls proved 

it: in a democracy the majority 

was, by defi nition, right, and 

that was that. 

Th is is the misguided populism 

now driving both sides of 

politics: Julia Gillard’s decision 

to exempt petrol from her carbon 

pricing, both from the initial 

tax and the foreshadowed 

trading scheme, is a major step 

back from both effectiveness 

and effi ciency. 

Th e whole point about such 

a tax is its universality; as soon 

as you say you will put a price 

on some carbons but not others, 

you invite a rush of further 

applications for special treatment 

and hand the debate over 

to lawyers and accountants trying 

to dream up loopholes so 

their clients can join the privileged. 

There is less incentive to 

innovate and less money to 

encourage it, and of course a 

major source of emissions continues 

unabated. 

And most importantly it 

weakens the whole argument 

for action both at home and 

internationally, suggesting 

that Gillard, like Abbott, really 

believes that climate change is 

just another political problem 

which can be solved by slogans 

and spin, by smoke and 

mirrors. 

Perhaps this is why the 

Greens think they are on a 

roll: they may be impractical 

idealists, but at least their arguments 

are consistent.

Shock! Horror! Councillors appreciated 

We would like to thank the 

councillors who, in a vote of 

8-1, refused the DA for the 

boarding house in Brunswick 

Heads, 30.6.11. 

Th at hopefully has brought 

to an end months of worry to 

people to have been involved 

in all the meetings, letter writing, 

phone calls and petitions 

about a development that 

threatened to rip the life out of 

the existing character and any 

future desired character for our 

local area. 

The law that allowed this 

type of ‘aff ordable housing’ was 

bad law and the NSW government 

is currently reviewing it. 

In the meantime, the councillors’ 

comprehensive resolution 

has let developers know that 

our representatives do hear us 

and do act on our concerns.

Cost cutting 

I agree with Wendy Neilan 

(Th e Echo front page last week); 

it’s disappointing the Biodiversity

was removed from Council’s 

organisational structure. Th e 

decision was part of a much 

larger cost-cutting and revenue-raising 

exercise and included 

removing one position 

in each of the three broad areas 

of Council operations – social, 

economic and ecological. Th e 

decision to cut costs was across 

the board and councillors voted 

unanimously, twice. 

With regards to the Land for 

Wildlife Program, some clarifi 

cation is required. Th e state 

coordinator of this program has 

stated that current members of 

the program will remain members

We are so grateful to those 

councillors who supported 

us in opposing the boarding 

house development in Brunswick 

Heads. 

The opposition to the 

boarding house wasn’t against 

‘affordable rental accommodation’ 

at all. It was against a 

development that would have 

allowed single people 12sqm of 

living space for their bed, storage, 

table and chair, TV etc. In 

addition, the development assumed 

that only a few residents 

would have cars and provided 

only fi ve car parking spaces for 

37 people. 

Th e community quickly realised 

that not only was this 

boarding house an overdevelopment 

of the site but it showed 

a total lack of consideration for 

and was out-of-character with 

its surroundings. Its impact on 

the neighbouring community 

had been simply dismissed.

to receive twice-yearly

which may assist them, for 

example grant programs and 

responses to casual enquiries.

for Council info are required, 

like for property maps, Council 

will attempt to ensure this can 

continue to be provided.

Tick-box exercise 

Th e S94 meeting in Bangalow 

was disappointing last week. 

It seemed to be mainly a tickbox 

exercise, with little leeway 

for Bangalow residents to discuss 

ideas for good projects – 

beyond Council’s nominated 

short list. Some of Council’s 

plans had merit, others I questioned. 

For instance, Council has

the boarding house was a vote 

against legitimising an appalling 

benchmark for high-density

and it was a vote for preserving 

the local character of our place 

now and into the future.

I confess that I have been of 

the long-standing opinion that 

elected councillors were, once 

they got into offi ce, removed 

from the voice of the people 

who had elected them. 

I confess to joining those 

muttering, grumbling conversations 

lamenting the lack of 

fair dinkum representation. So, 

immersed in cynicism, I sat in 

the crowded public gallery of 

Byron Shire’s Council meeting 

on 30.06.11 to listen to the out- 

really needed. Sure, everyone 

wants to park right outside 

their destination shop, but 

those days are over. No amount 

of asphalt laid down elsewhere 

in town is going to make that 

happen. 

Mostly I see ample vacant 

parking spaces a few minutes’ 

walk from the main street, 

in Byron and Deakin Streets. 

Does that constitute a big 

problem? 

To be sure, there are times 

of congestion. Short frequent 

activity happens around the 

school for drop-off and pickup. 

Again, asphalt elsewhere is 

not going to alleviate that pressure. 

Ditto market and other 

special event days. People expect 

to park and walk for such 

occasions. Th ere is no instant, 

simple solution. 

Some clear thinking and research 

needs to be done on the 

when, where and why of parking 

frustrations. Short-term 

parking spaces in town might 

ease quick-turnover pressure, 

for instance.

Hounded by doggone images beachside 

Here’s the thing too often 

omitted in conversations about 

dogs and public spaces – the 

relationship. Anyone with a 

connection to a loving nonhuman 

creature understands 

the importance of meeting that 

creature’s needs. They ask for 

so little, after all. 

A healthy dog is a dog who’s 

had a great run and a dog who’s 

had a great run, whether you 

realise it or not, is of benefit 

to everyone in a community. 

Much like humans really. There 

is so little room for companion 

animals in our modern world. 

The dog end of the beach is 

interactive: animals, humans, 

laughter, fun – community in 

action. We need more, not less! 

I don’t know if anyone else 

has noticed, but ideology destroys 

so very much that’s good. 

So I choose loving relationships 

instead, and I’ll put up with a bit 

of rogue dog poop. 

Stephanie Dale 

Mullumbimby 

I am writing to support the 

move to restrict the dog walk- 

ing area at New Brighton. Over 

the past five years I have regularly 

gone to North Wall for 

a surf or some exercise and 

I have constantly seen dogs 

chasing wildlife, mainly birds, 

terns and seagulls. This special 

place is a breeding ground 

and resting place for migratory 

birds where they deserve not to 

be disturbed. 

How would you feel watching 

your dog experience the 

terror that the wildlife goes 

through every time they encounter 

a dog? They certainly 

don’t all stay within the intertidal 

zone because their instincts 

are to chase the birds 

and small marsupials who 

live in the long grasses. We no 

longer see turtles nesting on 

the beaches. I have seen them 

out in the water, but they are 

too fearful to come to our 

shores to nest as they smell the 

threat of dogs on the beaches. 

We too love to walk on our 

beautiful beaches and, walking 

without a dog, one gets a 

whole different experience of 

the natural environment. 

Concerning the letters in the 

paper, the attitude that I am 

hearing is, ‘What about me and 

my dog?’ This seems typical of 

dog owners, who show little 

consideration for others who 

may not want to be associated 

with dogs. Not all of us feel 

the need to have a ‘personality 

prosthesis’ in the way of a dog. 

Ratepayers are picking up 

the bill for all the poo bags, 

garbage removal and the cost 

of the ranger to police the area. 

I am constantly on guard for 

my chickens as they have been 

attacked in my garden and 

their pen has been dug into. 

I am perplexed with the 

paradigm of Byron residents 

in regard to living a sustainable 

lifestyle. According to the 

Companion Animals Act we 

are not allowed to have a rooster 

which is an integral part of 

poultry husbandry yet you can 

have up to two dogs. It seems 

an accepted norm that we endure 

barking and unleashed 

dogs 24 hours a day. I pose the 

question, ‘How green is a dog?’ 

Ralph Johnston 

South Golden Beach 

I can’t help wondering what 

it is about the people who are 

so offended at the sight of dogs 

running on the beach, free 

from the encumbrance of a 

lead. What does it trigger in 

these people, that the very sight 

of this enjoyment of freedom 

engenders feelings of ‘something 

must be done’? Does that 

reflection mirror the repression 

of their wild nature?

and The Echo should be aware 

that the clubs industry always 

cries ruin whenever a change is 

mooted that might affect their 

privileged status. 

According to the Productivity 

Commission, revenue and 

job losses in the gambling industry, 

if any, would be taken up 

in other less harmful sections of 

the economy. 

The pubs and clubs misleadingly 

talk about the reforms being 

a ‘licence to punt’, but it’s not 

a licence and it’s not to punt. 

Giving people the choice on 

how much they want to lose is 

not a licence. 

‘Punt’ implies all forms of 

gambling, but the proposed 

pre-commitment would only 

apply to high-impact, highharm 

poker machines. It would 

not be required for low-intensity 

machines, horse race wagering, 

sports betting, or Keno. The 

casual punter who wants to bet 

‘a couple of dollars’ without a 

card would still have all those 

options. 

The Productivity Commission 

report states that 40 per 

cent of losses on poker machines 

come from problem 

gamblers. I thought that the 

ethos of The Echo would be 

supportive of reforms to reduce 

that, rather than giving free PR 

to promote the gambling industry’s 

$20 million campaign.

Not blinded by science, climate or otherwise 

In response to Colin Clarke’s 

conjectures about my level of 

concern for the plight of the 

world’s poor (Letters, June 28), 

I do business with developing 

countries. They make money 

from me and, to the extent 

their systems allow, that money 

circulates in their economies, 

improving their opportunities. 

That is hardly the attitude 

of a back-to-the-cave leftist 

greenie. 

Colin’s narrow focus on nuclear 

power and genetic engineering 

as twin pinnacles of 

western technology gifted to 

the third world is utterly ludicrous. 

These technologies are 

smart but not wise and, when 

in the hands of cost-cutting bureaucrats, 

just plain dangerous. 

Focus on the thermodynamics 

of solar power towers and the 

biology of soils: examples of 

complex technologies based on 

wisdom about natural systems. 

The lifecycle cost and implementation 

time of nuclear 

power are very high. Meanwhile 

PV solar is now cheaper 

than gas and coal-fired power 

in the USA. I have no doubt 

that the environmentally concerned 

segment of the Indian 

population is well aware of the 

potential of their desert regions 

in animal live exports to Indonesia 

to his ill-advised and 

unfounded accusations about 

the Palestenian people (Letters, 

June 28)? Gosh, Gareth, that 

has to be a long draw, even for 

you. Such a wide spray with too 

many wild and false accusations. 

Again. Such divisive and 

inflammatory comments. Try 

taking a guide from I Shall Not 

Hate by Izzeldin Abuelaish.

Levying business 

Why all this talk about a ‘special 

business levy’ or a ‘bed tax’ 

to bolster Council finances? 

Just increase the business 

rate by, say, 50 per cent. With 

a bit of creativity, we can do 

this without increasing the retailers’ 

costs, without impos- 

for solar power, not to mention 

the ongoing employment 

prospects for locals in such developments. 

Colin, tying nuclear power 

to third world children’s health 

would be a comical rhetorical 

device if it weren’t for the 

countless children already being 

born malformed or aborted 

as a result of past nuclear indiscretions. 

Surely it is more 

appropriate to tie children’s 

health to the supply of electricity 

from a bunch of mirrors 

and propellors. 

I am a scientist with a major 

in physics, including nuclear 

physics. As a scientist I feel a 

duty to take a stand alongside 

my thousands of colleagues 

who are calling a warning over 

and over and over again, at this 

moment, in this decade. It is a 

dire warning that the unregulated 

economic virus that has 

infected our beloved Earth and 

blinded the minds of many, is 

now inflicting catastrophic and 

irreversible damage. 

Without fundamental 

change, global economic collapse 

is inevitable. Make no 

mistake about it: economic collapse 

is code for the collapse of 

mutual trust and cooperation. 

Ocean acidification, global 

ing extra burdens on the shopkeepers 

who service us and the 

tourist hordes. 

It’s like this: for any given 

business there is a reasonably 

fixed limit to the total overheads 

they can bear and still 

be viable. What the Council 

doesn’t take in rates, the landlord 

will take in rent, management 

fees, insurance, maintenance 

etc. Exorbitant rents are 

made possible by low rates – it 

is as simple as that. 

So we should ‘legislate’ to increase 

business rates by five per 

cent a year for the next eight 

years. Ten years would give a 63 

per cent increase. So when the 

landlord seeks an increase at 

the next rent review, he will be 

met with the perfectly valid, incontrovertible 

argument that, 

‘The rates went up five per cent 

warming, nuclear pollution, 

toxic waste, water shortage, 

and food insecurity, all are 

anthropogenic, and all point 

unequivocally, urgently, in the 

direction of renewable energy. 

Renewable power is also an 

economically preferable path, 

as can be understood from 

the analysis presented by the 

expert multidisciplinary team 

of volunteers at Beyond Zero 

Emissions. 

With my background in 

physics and electrical engineering 

one might expect me 

to be championing the cause 

of nuclear power. Sorry, I’m 

not about to seek refuge in 

that bubble of assumed infallibility. 

The Earth comes before 

short-term money; listen to the 

Earth and sustainable wealth 

will follow.

Colin Clarke correctly identifies 

science and technology 

as primary drivers of human 

advance. From mastering fire 

in prehistoric times to splitting 

the atom today, human ingenuity 

and curiosity have given 

us the power to shape the environment 

around us in ways 

that enhance our wellbeing. 

last year, they will be going up 

by five per cent next year, you 

must think again if you want a 

viable business here.’ 

Done this way, we would get 

a better balance between rates 

and rents; additional money 

would be available to the Byron 

Council for local beautification 

and infrastructure, shop-keepers 

would be as viable (or otherwise!) 

as they are now – and 

landlords would be forced to 

be less demanding. It’s time?

Little gem 

Congratulations to Feros Care 

which recently celebrated 21 

years of aged care in the Byron 

Shire. However, CEO Janine 

Buckley is wrong when she 

states, in the story on page 9 

But the pursuit of knowledge 

and the desire to manipulate 

and control the environment 

comes with a price. Science is 

a tool that cuts two ways. Every 

discovery is attended with new 

risks: unexpected, ill-defined, 

not always obvious. 

Marie Curie, the scientist 

who discovered the radionuclide 

properties of uranium, 

was unwittingly poisoned by 

the materials she studied. 

No theory in science is certain 

or complete, every theory 

is open to new evidence and 

revision, because our theories 

are simply conceptual models 

of reality. It is a mistake to presume 

certainty of knowledge, 

no matter how sophisticated 

our science becomes. 

There is some truth to the 

saying ‘empty vessels make 

most sound’. Very often those 

who clamour the loudest promoting 

the virtues of science 

and technology are those who 

know the least about the issues 

involved and don’t pause to 

consider the consequences of 

embracing risky technologies 

without due regard for the future 

ecological integrity of the 

biosphere.

Main Arm 

of last week’s Echo, that Feros 

was the first aged care hostel in 

Byron Bay. 

Tucked away in Butler Street, 

between the police station and 

the Butler Street Reserve, is a 

‘little gem’ called Byron Aged 

Care. Until about six months 

ago, when it underwent a name 

change, it was The Australian 

Orthodox Home for the Aged, 

locally known as ‘The Orthodox’. 

Pine Haven at Suffolk 

Park, now Bayside at Byron, 

would have also preceded Feros 

Care. 

Like Feros Care, George 

Feros is at the very heart of 

Byron Aged Care, too, and it 

was for this facility, not Feros 

Care, that he started raising 

money. If my memory serves 

me correctly, George became

passionate about having an 

aged care facility in town when 

members of his immediate 

family were in need of care and 

had to be accommodated out 

of town, as there was nowhere 

in Byron Bay for them to go. 

The rest is history. He started 

fundraising and became a local 

legend, ringing his bell to attract 

coins for his donation box. A 

committee eventually gathered 

around him, land was acquired 

and enough money raised to 

commence construction. The 

Australian Orthodox Home for 

the Aged opened its doors on 

its current site in 1972, 18 years 

before its cousin, Feros Care! 

My understanding of what 

happened next is that George 

was disappointed that ‘The Orthodox’ 

didn’t include nursing 

home care, so he continued 

fundraising and Feros Care, 

Byron Bay, is the result of his 

second wave of fundraising. His 

dream of nursing home care 

still wasn’t realised until Feros 

Care Bangalow eventuated 

many years later. ‘The Orthodox’ 

was the only one opened 

in his lifetime, but George Feros 

lives on in them all! 

Janine can be forgiven for 

not knowing about Byron Aged 

Care, as many people, once 

discovering it, comment that 

they never knew it existed and 

it appears that even George’s 

daughter made no mention of 

it in her recent book about his 

life. Like Feros Care, it too is a 

not-for-profit, community-run 

aged care facility and as one of 

its long-term residents lovingly 

told me recently, ‘It is my home.’

Market parking solved 

To those people attending 

the farmers market in Mullumbimby 

who are aggrieved 

by the Council’s compliance 

officer enforcing the traffic 

(parking) regulations in Coral 

Avenue, I ask ‘What is it about 

a “no parking” sign (of which 

Advertisement 

there are several) that you do 

not understand?’ 

I have observed a number of 

near misses at this location due 

to traffic congestion and have 

witnessed one collision. The 

signs were obviously erected 

by Council for reasons of safety 

and the common practice of 

vehicles obstructing the thoroughfare 

(I have photographic 

evidence) suggests a total disregard 

for other road users by 

those concerned. 

This practice has resulted in 

the residents of Coral Avenue 

and beyond being ‘pissed off ’ 

too. It is particularly annoying 

as there is ample parking space 

available within the show-

Cruelty to animals 

In last week’s Echo Vince Sherry 

posed the question ‘Why is 

it that some vegetarians go to 

such extremes to try to influence 

others?’ So far as I can 

tell, Vince, there’s a very simple 

answer to that question. It’s 

primarily about cruelty to animals, 

although there are other 

reasons as well, to be sure. 

I know that some animals are 

killed humanely (almost an oxymoron 

to me, a vegetarian) but 

it would seem that most aren’t. 

Unless a consumer knows how 

his dinner was slaughtered, and 

how that animal’s life was lived 

before and during transportation 

to the killing station, then 

there’s a very strong likelihood 

that through their consumer 

choice that person is funding 

cruelty and exploitation for the 

sake of their taste buds (there 

are, after all, many other food 

sources to fill one’s plate and 

one’s stomach). 

I would like to see compulsory 

field trips for all meateating 

students around the age 

of 15 or so to an abattoir. Folks 

don’t want to know, but I believe 

folks should know.

Bamboozling 

We live in the information 

age, but maybe it should be 

thought of as the misinformation 

age. The bamboozling array 

of media that bombards us 

in every facet of our modern 

lives makes it easy to get information 

but hard to tell what is 

credible. 

It worries me that mainstream 

media can’t be relied 

on to provide unbiased information. 

And the worst case of 

this I can think of is the socalled 

‘climate science debate’. 

The constant use of the word 

debate in relation to climate 

science undermines the pressing 

truth of the situation. 

There is no debate. Science 

is based on theory but as far 

as theories go we’re about as 

sure on this as we are about 

gravity. In the vast community 

of scientists naturally there are 

some dissenting views, but this 

does not change the reality that 

there is a broad consensus on 

the fact that the climate of this 

planet is becoming warmer because 

of human activity – and 

rapidly at that. 

Average temperature is rising, 

CO2 levels are increasing, 

ocean acidity is increasing. All 

these things are clearly documented 

over a long period of 

time from measurements all 

around the world by thousands 

of scientists. And they are not 

just trending up, they are accelerating. 

The fossil record has 

shown that these conditions 

have preceded mass extinctions 

of life on earth in the past. 

And you only have to look at 

the growing list of modern extinctions 

to see the extent of 

the damage being done now.

This project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments. 

The project will upgrade about 17 kilometres of the highway to a four 

lane divided road between the recently opened section of four lane 

divided highway at Ross Lane and the existing four lane divided 

highway at the Ewingsdale interchange. 

You are invited to a community information session that will: 

Provide information about the proposed access arrangements 

between the new upgraded highway and Bangalow, 

Discuss any opportunities for further changes to the access 

arrangements. 

The information session will be held at: 

Bangalow A&I Hall, Station Street, Bangalow on Wednesday 

6 July, 6pm to 7.30pm. 

If you are interested in attending, please call the project information 

line (see below). This will help the project team organise the

Crabbes Creek 

I loved Mandy’s article last 

week. I agree with most of the 

sentiments, and I think it’s vital 

that we remember the little 

guys and support them as 

much as possible. But I can’t 

help but question how realistic 

the ‘never going to shop there’ 

promise is. 

Mandy, your ‘Mandy Nolan 

Comedy’ Facebook page has 

an update in November last 

year about a kid farting while 

you were in Woolies in Byron, 

and I have personally stood in 

the aisle next to you at Colesowned 

KMart in Ballina. Is it 

tion – to push an agenda, not 

to contribute to science and 

our improved understanding 

of things. 

Every time a news organisation 

gives these lobbyists a 

voice in the name of ‘balanced 

reporting’ they achieve the exact 

opposite of this. Australian 

media and politics (and much 

of the rest of the world’s too) 

have snowballed this so-called 

debate so far out of proportion 

that there is genuine doubt in 

the public’s mind about the 

drastic situation facing the 

planet. 

Mainstream media should 

do better. Politicians are politicians 

so what do you expect; 

nonetheless it’s about time 

some of them pulled their 

heads out of their arses and 

stood up for common sense 

on the issue. 

And the public need to wake 

up. Turn your inner bullshit 

meter on. Question what you 

OK for the kids in Byron and 

Ballina to benefit from the 

employment, just not in our 

backyard? 

I don’t want to discredit your 

arguments. I support them in 

theory, but there has to be reality 

about our stance. I’m Mullum 

born and bred, and I don’t 

like Woolies being there any 

more than I have liked any of 

the major changes that have 

happened in the Byron Shire. 

I want to go back to eating 

takeaway at Mexican Mick’s, 

and then finishing with ice 

creams from the spot where the 

pinball machines were downstairs. 

But we can’t, and the 

changes will keep coming. So 

maybe, realistically, we can buy 

our fruit and veg from the green 

grocers, and our meat from the 

butcher, and our bread from the 

bakery, but maybe it’s realistic 

that we’re also going to pop into 

Woolies for our recycled loo pa- 

hear. Listen to more than one 

view on a subject. Make up 

your own mind after getting 

good information. And above 

all don’t forget that most politicians 

and lobbyists are only 

telling you what special-interest 

groups’ think-tanks have 

told them to say. Just because 

you may agree with someone 

politically does not mean 

you should be blind to their 

bullshit.

I’ve been to Woolies about 

five times and noted that it’s 

full of old people, people who 

work and young families. At a

demographic that was incapable 

of understanding the long

A wag I know said with

But we’re ruining the community.’ 

Everyone at the checkout

Law fi nds true grit among the pearls of family life 

Th e Family Law by Benjamin 

Law (Black Inc, $22.95, www. 

blackincbooks.com/authors/ 

benjamin-law) 

Reviewed by Victor Marsh 

Brisbane-based writer Benjamin 

Law is a young humorist 

who writes pithy personal 

essays about growing up in a 

transplanted Chinese family 

(the only one!) on Queensland’s 

white-bread Sunshine Coast. 

In The Family Law, Law 

sketches hilarious and poignant 

portraits of this immigrant 

family – especially his one-ofa-kind 

mother, whose scabrous 

comments are a source of endless 

embarrassment. Divorced, 

she complains to her son that, 

on their wedding night, his father 

hadn’t engaged in enough 

‘foul play’; when he tells her 

it’s ‘foreplay’, she fi gures it’s all 

much of a muchness. And she’s 

quite likely to give visceral accounts 

of the diffi culty of giving 

birth to each of her five 

children to anyone who will 

listen, including his friends. 

Family is the star of this 

warm and witty collection; 

they may be Chinese and their 

humour is often deliciously 

Th e Great Disruption: How the 

climate crisis will transform the 

global economy by Paul Gilding 

(Bloomsbury) 

Mick O’Regan 

Th ere’s something vaguely suspicious 

about positive news on 

climate change. It’s like getting 

a media release on carbon tax 

from Senator Nick Minchin; 

you almost assume scientifi c 

credibility has been jettisoned 

for momentary attention. 

Happily, Paul Gilding’s new 

book is on different ground 

altogether. Th e Great Disruption 

is full of startling facts 

not fatuous spin. Clearly and 

passionately argued it’s both 

a dry-eyed analysis of the climate 

change problems we face 

and an enthusiastic call to action. 

A coherent link between 

what confronts us and what we 

need to do. 

Paul Gilding has spent 25 

years thinking and working 

on issues of sustainability and 

environmental protection. A 

former CEO of Greenpeace International, 

more recently he’s 

worked at Cambridge University’s 

Sustainability Leadership 

Programme, speaking to the 

heads of major corporations 

about how they might address 

the ecological challenges 

ahead. 

Gilding’s warnings are clear 

– we’re using Earth’s resources 

as if we had one-and-a-half 

Earths! We don’t, so we’re living 

on credit we can’t repay. It 

stems from our addiction to 

scatological, but amid the sibling 

rivalry and general family 

dysfunction there’s much to 

recognise about human family 

life. Th e diffi culty of sharing a 

room with his older brother hit 

home for me, for example. 

Law’s humour is in the same 

vein of whimsical drollery as, 

say, a David Sedaris, and like 

Sedaris, and Augusten Burroughs 

– both writers he admires 

– there’s a grit in the writing. 

He is prepared to address 

intimate details without sentimentality, 

so while the writing 

is disarmingly funny and 

aff ectionate, there’s this bite to 

his snappily-wrought sentences 

that bring these liminal, crossover 

lives into sharp focus. 

Not all immigrant experiences 

have fortunate outcomes 

and the tone here is perfectly 

pitched to catch some of the 

bitter notes among the sweet. 

His matter-of-fact account of 

the deportation of half of his 

extended family by the immigration 

department is particularly 

telling at a time when 

refugee and migrant issues 

are so prominent in public 

discourse. His relatives were 

swept up by the federal police 

and deported back to Hong 

the idea that growth 

must underpin prosperity. 

By 2050 we’ll 

be expecting a global 

population of nine 

billion people to survive 

on resources that 

are already stretched. 

It just won’t work, the 

maths is unforgiving. 

We don’t have the 

luxury of ‘future’ 

problems; they’re already 

here. Gilding is 

at pains to point out 

the fight isn’t about 

leaving a better world 

for our children’s 

children. It’s here and 

now as well. Already 

consistent scientific 

evidence points to 

conditions beyond 

the worst-case projections 

of major environmental 

studies. 

Th e choices we have to make 

about the environment have 

ceased being philosophical, 

they’re urgent and practical. 

So what’s the good news? 

Well, as Gilding argues, we will 

engage with environmental 

sustainability ‘not just because 

we can, but more important 

because we have to. Th e alternative 

is not an option. The 

ecological system changes now 

underway present a signifi cant 

risk of global economic and social 

collapse.’ 

Th ere’s nothing like necessity 

to motivate mass appeal. 

People need to understand the 

impact of climate change on 

their own lives, not just on a 

Kong, from which they’d fl ed 

in the lead-up to the Chinese 

vague notion of ‘nature’. Society 

at large will opt to change 

when we believe we face a serious 

crisis. For Paul Gilding that 

moment will be where denial 

ends and we accept that ‘the 

risk we face is not a less-pleasant 

environment or dirty cities 

or the loss of some charismatic 

megafauna, but the loss of everything 

we have come to accept 

as normal.’ 

The author explains both 

the current science and the 

method of scientifi c decision 

making in an accessible way. 

His examples are well chosen 

and oft en shocking, from the 

disappearance of Arctic ice to 

the surge in commodity prices. 

takeover of 1997. His mother’s 

elderly parents were the last to 

Also, he frames the 

solution in a way that 

draws on human action, 

not technical determinism.Technology’s 

not a long-term 

solution because we 

can’t drive the technical 

changes fast 

enough to overcome 

the ecological inertia 

already in the system. 

To survive we have 

to embrace a major 

evolution in human 

values. The old slogan 

‘shop till you 

drop’ has taken on 

planetary overtones. 

We have to acknowledge 

things will get 

ugly, as fierce and 

unfair access to resources 

provokes dissent. 

Major change is 

unlikely to occur in 

a steady, market-focused way. 

It’ll be discontinuous and chaotic. 

Gilding suggests we put 

ourselves on a war footing 

where experience has shown 

that massive, cooperative effort 

and an acceptance of personal 

responsibility can lead 

to victory. 

We need a mind-shift. An 

evolution in our values, in 

our politics and in our personal 

expectations. We have 

to realise that this is a human 

problem. Forget about saving 

the Earth, ‘the Earth will recover 

very nicely from climate 

change, and it’s not in a hurry. 

If it takes a million years or a 

hundred million years for our 

leave. When they left , her parents 

simply asked her what the 

use of crying was. 

Th eir belongings were stored 

for years in the Law family 

house and led to his mother’s 

hoarding instinct; awfully familiar 

from that TV show, but 

here you can feel why someone 

would develop such a neurosis. 

When everything can be taken 

away… 

In some ways Law is mapping 

the same terrain as other writers’ 

festival favourites, Alice Pung, 

and Anh Dho: that crossover 

zone where folk from another 

culture are transplanted into 

this bizarre, already hybridised 

culture we call Australia. I’ve 

always enjoyed catching feedback 

from our bemused new 

arrivals, although they are oft en 

too grateful – or is it polite? – 

to speak anything approaching 

criticism of their host country. 

To assimilate, to one degree or 

other, is to survive, and many 

of our refugee immigrants have 

certainly proved they know 

how to survive. 

Much of the material is 

about fi tting in – as a gay teenager, 

or as an Asian Australian. 

While holidaying at Queensland 

theme parks, he and his

planet to get on a new evolutionary 

path, this is no intrinsic 

problem from the earth’s point 

of view.’ But it matters big time 

for us. Which is why this book 

is important. It doesn’t skirt 

the prospect of catastrophic 

change but plausibly reveals 

the reasons to be optimistic. 

I read this book to prepare 

for a public meeting with Paul 

Gilding taking place in Bangalow 

A&I Hall on Tuesday evening, 

July 5. I’m glad I’ve been 

exposed to Gilding’s insights 

and conclusions. This book 

siblings ‘would do their best 

to distinguish themselves from 

the Asian tourists’. 

Writing from the margins 

can provide a site for a trenchant 

critique of social hypocrisy 

but, rather than an overly 

serious political diatribe, the 

eff ect can be achieved adroitly 

through humour. Reading Th e 

Family Law, one is reminded of 

comedy’s great potential to undermine 

the status quo of offi 

cial versions of social reality. 

Law is writing from the margins, 

both as an ethnic Chinese 

growing up in Anglo land, and 

as a sexual and gender nonconformist 

within that most 

binary of all social institutions, 

the family. In these aff ectionate 

portraits Law reveals that 

behind the offi cial façade, perhaps, 

not a lot of families conform 

to the offi cial models and 

are perhaps stronger for it. 

Th e trouble with a book like 

this is that you want to gobble 

it all up in one read because it’s 

such a delight. 

Benjamin Law will be attending 

the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, 

August 5–7. For further 

details visit www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au. 

will be a provocative read for 

the dwindling army of climate 

change denialists. Good. We 

can’t aff ord to still be debating 

the reality of climate change 

when the reality of the impact 

is in front of our faces. 

Hopefully The Great Disruption 

will live up to its name 

and unsettle the complacency 

that threatens to derail our efforts 

before they get a chance 

to work. Give change a chance.

The National Heart Foundation of Australia 

has called on Australian women to treat their 

heart health as seriously as their breast health 

with the revelation that only six per cent of 

women in the target age group are getting the 

recommended heart checks. 

Dr Lyn Roberts, National CEO of the Heart 

Foundation, said, ‘It’s now time for women to 

pay attention to their heart health. 

‘The reality is that 90 per cent of women have 

one risk factor for heart disease and 50 per cent 

have two or three. 

‘Simply not enough women are aware of their 

heart disease risk even though it’s the number

RESTORE YOUR SPINAL 

HEALTH, RESTORE 

YOUR GENERAL 

HEALTH! 

Chiropractic works by helping to restore 

your own inborn ability to be healthy. 

When under the proper control of your 

nervous system, all the cells, tissue, and 

organs of your body are designed to 

function well and resist disease and ill 

health. The chiropractic approach to 

better health is to locate and help reduce 

interferences to your natural state of being 

healthy. 

A common interference to the nervous 

system is the twenty-four moving bones 

of the spinal column. A loss of normal 

motion or position of these bones can 

irritate or impair the function of the 

nervous system. 

Chiropractors aim to improve nervous 

system function primarily through 

chiropractic adjustments (with particular 

attention to the spine, skull and pelvis), to 

help remove any interference that may be 

impairing normal health.

and feeling better, contact Bianca

Visitors to one of Australia’s most famous destinations 

can explore the maritime history of Byron Bay during the 

autumn school holidays, as the Cape Byron Trust is running 

the popular heritage tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse. 

‘The Lighthouse Tours allow visitors to explore and 

appreciate the maritime heritage of Byron Bay,’ said Cape 

Byron Trust Chair Yvonne Stewart. 

‘Join a tour and take a step back in time to discover what 

the daily duties of the lighthouse keepers and their 

families at the Cape would have been like.’ 

‘Enjoy climbing the tower, stopping at each of the three 

levels before stepping out onto the top balcony to 

get a bird’s eye view into the marine park below and 

surrounding hinterland,’ said Yvonne Stewart. 

Today the Lighthouse, an important north coast icon, is 

managed jointly by a community trust with the NPWS and 

the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal Aboriginal People. 

Guided tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse are available 

on Tuesdays and Thursdays (all year), and Saturday 

(NSW school holidays). Guided tours take approximately 

40 minutes and cost $8 for adults, $6 for children and 

concession, and $25 for family groups. Children must 

be five years old to participate in tours. Bookings are 

recommended. 

Please contact the Cape 

Byron Trust on (02) 6685 

5955 or visit the shop 

at the Head Lighthouse 

Keeper’s Cottage. 

Join an experienced heritage guide and 

explore Australia’s most easterly lighthouse. 

Guided tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse run on 

Tuesdays and Thursdays (11.00am, 12.00pm & 2pm) all 

year and Saturdays during NSW school holiday periods 

(10.00am, 11.00am, 12.30pm, 2.00pm & 3.30pm).

From Opera 

to Burlesque 

and Back 

AS AN AWARD-WINNING SOPRANO WITH OPERA 

AUSTRALIA, ALI MCGREGOR PLAYED THE PERFECT 

INGÉNUE. AS THE DIVA IN LA CLIQUE SHE MANAGED TO 

BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN SIDESHOW CARNIVAL AND 

THE OPERATIC STAGE. AS THE HOST OF HER CULT LATE- 

NIGHT VARIETY SHOW SHE HAS BROUGHT CLASS TO 

COMEDY AND FRINGE FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD. 

NOW SHE STARS IN HER VERY OWN SHOW, JAZZ AND 

CIGARETTES. 

What was it about 19th century chorus girls that inspired you? I liked the idea 

that they performed for the well-dressed, wealthy opera goers and then took off 

their outer clothing and snuck into the dark vaudevillian world of the music hall to 

perform the same arias but with more panache and fewer clothes. Fairly obvious 

when I put it like that, surely! 

Is burlesque losing its edge now it’s becoming ‘mainstream’? What defi nes good 

burlesque for you? Burlesque is many things to many people. For me I was inspired 

by the European tradition of burlesque which was literally to satirise popular culture. 

WIth my show The Opera Burlesque we took a very formal tradition and played with 

the form, adding pop-culture references and taking the aria to its most raw or blatant 

conclusion. There is of course an undertone of sensuality but as our motto states: 

‘more high Cs than sleaze but just enough tease to please’. Burlesque (the American 

version) has become very mainstream these days with burlesque classes and amateur 

nights everywhere you look. I have no problem with this – I can see the attraction of 

wanting to liberate yourself by taking off your clothes slowly in front of a room full of 

strangers. For me, though, an act has to either be unique and creative with the form 

or simply be a work of art to look at. And that has nothing to do with size or shape 

but everything to do with attitude. 

What’s the diff erence with Opera Burlesque? Opera and sexuality usually don’t 

mix…Are you kidding me?! Name me an opera that doesn’t have sex in it?! Okay, 

Peter Grimes. But honestly, opera is all about sex and death. It is just quite often 

SATURDAY 9 JULY 

GLASS TOWERS 

NEW BISTRO – NEW CHEF 

Try our fresh new menu 

performed with the ‘sex’ part having as much sexiness as a wet fl annel. But not 

always; these days opera companies can’t wait to get the shirt off the latest hot 

baritone or tighten the corset of the new young soprano. I am starting to think that 

opera and burlesque are natural bed-fellows. Pardon the pun. 

Spiegeltents foster such amazing underground/left-of-centre talent…Why do 

you think they attract and foster that kind of creativity? The famous Spiegeltent 

(which started this new craze) is run with a very underground ethos. Parked next to 

the Arts Centre or nestled within a festival next to high art and serious theatre it gives 

voice and stage to the dregs and undercurrents of nouveau cabaret. Being circular in 

nature it is a very welcoming venue, one where you can see the sweat on performers’ 

faces (and indeed quite often get artfully sprayed by it) and the performer is viewed 

from every side like a freak show at a circus. In these days of reality TV and Botox I 

think people respond to the rawness and frailty of the Spiegeltent instead of the 

edited version of life that is otherwise off ered to us.

THE CORPORATE TIPPING POINT 

At no time in history have large corporations had so much power. 

This week a coalition of Australian businesses has planned to 

mount a national advertising blitz against the carbon tax. Instead 

of using their considerable intellectual resources to create 

sustainable production methods that would minimise the carbon 

tax they will need to pay, they have instead decided to use their 

might to eradicate the tax (by eradicating the government). 

Sadly, eradicating the tax while having the positive impacts of 

increasing shareholder profi ts does not reduce carbon. 

These are the carbon-making monsters who are killing our 

planet because it’s not fair that human future should depend 

on lessening their profi ts. They lobby the populace through 

the media, which is largely owned by the same corporations, to 

brainwash them with the same tired old chorus ‘you’ll lose jobs’, 

‘companies will go off shore’, ‘you’ll be plunged into a recession’, 

‘productivity will be lost’. When there are no polar caps left, when 

the oceans have risen, when there’s no longer fresh water or 

arable land, when you need air-con to live in the North Pole, then 

I reckon no-one will give a shit about lost productivity. 

These corporate moguls are planetary paedophiles, demonising 

government and luring us in with their big bag of sweets and 

promises of fl uff y puppies. It may seem benign, and yes the 

plasma TV, the cheap groceries and discounted power bills are all 

terribly alluring. But the result is always the same. We’re fucked. 

Corporate desire for continual profi ts to sustain their position in 

the global economy has given them the mandate, they believe, 

to challenge and overthrow government. 

The underpinning principle of democracy is by the people for the 

people. The underpinning principle of big business is buy profi t for 

the profi t, even if it costs you people. Like them or loathe them, 

our current government has enacted various strategies that 

challenge the economic status quo, levelling the playing fi eld so 

as to minimise the long- and short-term harms corporations are 

currently enacting on society. 

Regardless of the greater good (the underlying principle of liberal 

philosophy), corporations intend to make our children fat, to fi ll 

our lungs with cancer-inducing smoke, to frack our water supply, 

to hoover up cash from problem gamblers and to continue with 

industrial processes which not only heat our planet but make it 

Is being an opera singer restrictive? Is that why you also 

perform cabaret/burlesque? There can be freedom in opera’s 

restrictiveness, but I do fi nd cabaret a very liberating and 

challenging art form. You have the freedom to interpret each song 

and make it your own. The song choices are based on your own life 

experiences and you can make each song mean anything you want 

it to. I also like the interaction with the audience, which is diffi cult 

in opera. 

Describe your on-stage persona… It is me, warts and all. I try and 

be classy and sassy but occasionally you see the awkward teenager 

that started her singing career singing along to Eurythmics with a 

hairbrush in her bedroom. I also wear great shoes.

very likely that our children’s children will have no future. 

Right now corporations are being asked to be accountable for 

their harm. Cigarettes give you cancer, gambling will destroy your 

family, junk food turns kids into fat diabetics, coal seamers poison 

the water table, coal and uranium production warms and pollutes 

the planet. These are the industries the government is asking to 

make concessions for the good of the people. 

But the corporations are not happy. They’re the victims. May I 

remind you though, that these are the big businesses who profi t 

from human misery, poverty and illness. Cigarette companies 

are going to sue the government for making them use plain 

packaging to reduce the number of smokers. The clubs who rely 

on pokies are campaigning against the government’s legislation 

limiting how much people can lose in an hour of gambling. Food 

companies and advertisers are claiming it’s not constitutional 

that they can’t advertise junk food during children’s TV 

programming. (In fact they claim there’s no evidence that junkfood 

ads contribute to obesity, when there clearly is.) Energy 

exploration companies seem oblivious to the huge community 

outcry and the overwhelming consensus that coal-seam gas is an 

environmental disaster. Mining companies who take the majority 

of their profi ts overseas are being asked to pay a tax so that a 

fair share of the profi ts are returned to the people of Australia 

– specifi cally the coal miners and the uranium miners, but here 

we also have the added issue of carbon tax for their warming 

and polluting of the planet. They’re taking out advertising and 

pushing for an early election. 

Opportunists like Tony Abbott see an easy route to government 

by backing the bad guys. Abbott is the Sheriff of Nottingham. 

At no time in Australian history has it been more important to 

support a government that is acting on our behalf while the 

corporations act on their own behalf. If we lose now, we will 

move from living in a society to living in an economy. We are at, I 

believe, a corporate tipping point. 

If we are to ever turn the tables on climate change, then we need 

to turn the tables on the corporations. The hippies peaked too 

early. We don’t need nuclear power, or even solar power; what we 

need is people power! 

What is the inspiration for your show? These are the songs that 

made me want to sing. I had a great teacher at school who told me 

to go and listen to Billie, Ella, Sarah and Nina. I became transfi xed 

by these ladies and this wealth of fantastic songs, and this is my 

homage to that inspiration 

What should we expect for the Byron show? An amazing trio 

made up of some of the most accomplished jazz musicians in the 

country, me, and songs by Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Tom 

Waits and Britney. What else could you possibly want?

Few have exhibited such versatility or such bold artistic reach 

within a pop context. Like John Lennon and Paul McCartney or 

Brian Wilson, Webb’s approach was groundbreaking and visionary, 

yet his songs were adaptable to an impressive range of artists – Top 

40, country, rock – and immediately embraced by mainstream 

audiences. Jimmy spoke with SEVEN on the eve of his Byron 

performance. 

Jimmy, what was the impetus for coming out and doing a

come to Australia. In this case I am promoting my new CD Just

Until I read your bio I had no idea just how many amazing

not hard though…I don’t particularly get off on being some sort of 

well-kept secret. 

Most writers are very personally attached to their material. 

How do you let go of a song once you’ve written it? I’m not very 

attached to my material; I’ve learned to throw songs in the trash 

can! 

Are the interpretations by other artists often very diff erent 

from what you intended? A smart songwriter is always delighted 

to hear a record by an established artist no matter how diff erent it 

may be. 

When you sing those very famous songs like Galveston, or Up 

Up And Away etc, how do you make them ‘yours’ again? No 

performance is ever exactly the same as any other…I arrange in 

the moment, even when I’m on stage. My versions are like nobody 

else’s. 

I’m interested in the career of a songwriter. How did you end 

up being in a position where you were penning songs for so 

many artists? I came along at the right time; add to this that I had 

been preparing for years and had a large number of songs. I hit the 

street and I worked hard. 

Do people place orders? Yes, and many times they are 

disappointed with the results! It’s not something that works 

particularly well for me. 

Do you perform regularly in the States? Yes, I keep a regular 

touring schedule and I will continue to do so as long as I am 

physically able! 

How has the music industry changed since you fi rst set out? 

Completely. The music business that I grew up in no longer exists. 

Turntables, 45s, 33 1/3, ROMs, album cover art, personality jocks, 

rock festivals, peace and love, royalties, all this is gone. 

What should we expect for your Byron Show? Pure 

entertainment, lots of good humour, the best performance that I 

can lay down, passion, a variety of material spanning four decades! 

Catch Jimmy Webb at the Byron Theatre at the Community 

Centre on Saturday. Tickets are $69 available online or at the 

Byron Bay Community Centre. Jimmy also appears with the 

amazing Kristina Olsen.

Webb’s articulate live presence and depth of delivery at 

the piano while performing the original repertoire made 

famous by others is nothing short of breathtaking. 

‘Webb’s mix of melodic resplendence, arrangement 

sophistication and vocal vulnerability now permeates 

indie rock, even if the master remains nearly invisible.’ 

Rolling Stone 

‘Jimmy Webb’s music has never fi tted into a single 

category: it somehow spans pop, country, musical 

theatre and vaudeville. Tonight (live), he linked his pieces 

together with some well-polished yarn-spinning. He could 

have played for twice as long and nobody 

would have left.’ 

Adam Sweeting, The Guardian, 2005 

‘When I was starting out as a songwriter, I looked to 

Jimmy Webb as one of the most innovative and musically 

profi cient songwriters of our generation.’ 

Billy Joel 

‘His songs have 17-layer emotions and sophisticated chord 

changes that are absolutely dazzling.’ 

Linda Ronstadt 

‘...an important American tale teller, our best raveller of 

the blind spots of the heart.’ 

Jay Cocks, Time Magazine 

‘It’s clear one of the greatest songwriters of the modern 

era drinks from a source as deep as it is rich.’ 

Stephen Fitzpatrick, The Australian 

Frank Sinatra declared ‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix’ as 

‘the greatest torch song ever written.’

People in Glass Towers 

Since forming in 2008, Byron Bay’s four-piece Glass Towers have 

gone from strength to strength. With an average age of only 18 

years, they’ve already played alongside some pretty impressive 

names. Metronomy (UK) Tame Impala, Cloud Control, Bluejuuice 

and The Holidays and opened the main stage at Splendour in the 

Grass in 2009 for Bloc Party, Flaming Lips, 

MGMT and Friendly Fires. Last year the 

band were announced as fi nalists in Triple 

J’s Unearthed High Competition and it’s 

not hard to see why. With their infectious 

brand of indie/pop/rock Glass Towers are 

winning over a loyal fan base, not only 

in their home town, but nationwide. 

Currently on tour with Seabellies and The 

Cairos, the band is already outgrowing 

their high school roots. Glass Towers 

play the Hotel Great Northern on 

Saturday.

Caravana at the Byron Brewery 

Buddha Bar on Thursday 

Sydney-based rootsy rockers Caravana Sun hit the road in 

celebration of their new single 

Feel Better. Combining the solo 

experience of frontman Luke 

Carra with the unquestionable 

talent and the insatiable 

vigour of his young cohorts 

Ant Beard on bass, Big Al on 

drums and percussion and Dan 

on trumpet, Caravana Sun are 

a frenetic fusion of roots, surf, 

ambient and world musical 

styles. From the gypsy culture of 

southern France to the mystery 

of Ord River in north-western 

Australia, the earthy collective 

take adoring audiences on a 

soul-moving body-invigorating 

journey through the world’s 

cultures with live shows laden 

with danceworthy boppy 

reggae grooves and down-toearth 

soulful lyrics. They play 

the Buddha Bar on Thursday. 

King Bee Bash 

GLASS TOWERS AT THE NORTHERN 

HOTEL ON SATURDAY 

Back in April 2008 three high school friends got together after 

realising a common music passion and decided to form a band. 

The result was Sarah and the King Bees, known to many as the 

SKBees or simply The Bees, with Sarah Paletu’a on vocals and 

acoustic guitar alongside twins Max Wakefi eld on guitars and 

Reuben Wakefi eld on the bass. Sarah’s pure tones, which can 

be attributed to her Tongan heritage, 

along with the band’s laidback melodic 

rhythms create a refreshing, good-feeling 

music journey. With infl uences ranging 

from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to 

Taylor Swift, the down-to-earth attitudes 

of the group allow for a unique pop 

acoustic mix and warm charisma not 

easily found in such young players. They 

are pure music. Friday at the Bangalow 

Hotel, Sunday at Tyalgum Hotel and next

Going Hard 

The Hard Word bring a cavalcade of groove to 

the Brewery this Friday as they present a journey 

through the rich heartlands of American rhythm. The 

band has been a constant source of soul in Sydney and Byron Bay 

for over 20 years and with veteran of the Montreal and Tokyo club 

scenes Mohini Cox at the helm it’s sure to be a rollercoaster ride 

from the sweetest jazz to the deepest funk. A Brisbane reviewer 

raved: ‘The Hard Word open the proceedings on Sunday at noon 

with the type of soul/funk that would have made James Brown 

incoherent with rapturous excitement. These veterans of the 

scene once and for all prove that funk bands do it with rhythm. 

Singer Mohini Cox deserves best in show for her amazing vocal 

abilities.’ 

Sacred and Divine 

Call to the Divine bring songs of joy, love, celebration and deep 

heart connection. This album sees Prem and Jethro returning to 

their roots with songs reminiscent of their album Divine Devotion. 

Earthy, soulful lyrics, soaring fl utes and gorgeous melodies that 


will touch the depths of your heart and remind you of your 

purpose. Sacred Earth’s music is used extensively throughout 

the world in the massage, yoga, mediation, healing, spa and fi lm 

industries to evoke a feeling of wellbeing, peace, and ambience. 

Their music is awe inspiring, uplifting and takes the listener on a 

deep inner journey. The stillness that is discovered during their 

SACRED EARTH AT COORABELL HALL ON FRIDAY 

concert performance is profound, 

often moving listeners to tears by the 

sheer beauty of the music. ‘We travel 

the world and play this music 

with the intent of connecting 

people to their own inner 

peace and knowing. We 

seek to empower the 

listener by providing a 

sacred space to connect to 

their own heart and cultivate a 

deeper respect for themselves and 

our beautiful mother Earth.’ Coorabell 

Hall on Friday at 8pm. Tix are $25 or 

$30 at the door. www.earth.net.au. 

Forever Young: A tribute to our kids 

Every time my teenagers leave the house a part of me wonders 

what life would be like if they never came back. 

I thought a toddler negotiating a fl ight of stairs was terrifying, 

but it’s nothing in comparison to watching your young person 

hop in a car, or disappear into a crowd at a party. These are the 

risk-taking years that most grow out of and look back with a 

laugh, ‘God I can’t believe what I got up to. I am amazed I wasn’t 

hurt or worse!’ Well, there are some kids that never have the 

opportunity to refl ect back on their life because they don’t make 

it. The Byron Shire Youth Memorial Project are organising the 

community day Forever Young, a day inspired by the numerous 

deaths in our local young community. Their aim is to create a 


Th e Byron Shire Echo July 5, 2011 29

LIVE music... 

space where family, friends and 

all members of the community 

can heal and look toward 

the future. The BSYMP 

will be holding FOREVER 

YOUNG on Saturday at the 

Mullumbimby Skatepark. 

The day will be a simultaneous 

shared memorial for the young 

people we have lost in recent 

times and a celebration of the 

strengths and talents of our 

youth still present. 

Forever Young kicks off at 12noon 

and will showcase the musical 

and creative talents of local 

performers. This all-inclusive event 

will include free food, music, games 

and activities, counselling and 

support from local service providers. 

Birdy Harvest 

MATT KEEGAN TRIO W DAVE ADES AT THE 

BLUE BIRDY AT HARVEST CAFE ON 

WEDNESDAY 13 JULY 

The Matt Keegan Trio showcase 

their brand new release Matt 

Keegan Trio Meets David Ades 

with a four-date tour this July. 

This album is a musical meeting 

between two generations of 

Australian jazz saxophonists: 

Ades an established master 

craftsman, and Keegan an 

emerging voice on the national 

scene. The music was 

composed to feature the 

blend of their distinctive 

saxophone sounds and 

styles and highlights 

their contrasting but 

complementing influences. 

Ades and Keegan share 

a deep musical affinity. A 

special spirit is always present 

when they play together, 

which is highlighted in a series 

of etudes performed as duets 

and interspersed between the 

band tracks. The Sydney Morning 

Herald said of Ades, ‘Distinctive as the masters, a unique and 

original voice. [Ades’s] presence is as large and luminous as life 

itself, a rare talent indeed’. Join these two amazing musicians 

when they play The Blue Birdy at Harvest Cafe in Newrybar. 

Show at 8pm on Wednesday 13 July. $15 tix at the door. 

MELODY MOON AT THE TREEHOUSE IN 

BELONGIL ON THURSDAY 

LUKE ESCOMBE AT THE RAILS ON THURSDAY 

Droppin’ His Bomb 

Luke Escombe and the Corporation come at you like a cross 

between Grinderman, Frank Zappa and Flight of the Conchords. 

You’ll be laughing, dancing, rocking out and wondering why 

you’ve never heard anything quite like them. 

2011 has been a big year for Luke. His musical 

comedy show Chronic was a critical hit at 

the Melbourne Comedy Festival and he has 

since been awarded a grant by the NSW 

government to take it to this year’s Edinburgh 

Fringe. His sharp wit and lyrical panache 

have seen him compared to the likes of 

Tim Minchin and Eddie Perfect in recent 

months, but he has never abandoned his 

rock and roll roots. Backed by his supertight 

band, he still growls like an old blues 

dog and plays the electric guitar like a man 

performing an exorcism, as can be heard 

on the group’s recent Live in the Studio EP. 

Catch this rocking Sydney three-piece as 

they launch their explosive new single Drop 

tha Bomb at the Rails on Thursday. 

When the Music Fitz 

Twenty-five-year-old Byron boy Connor B 

Fitz is a self-confessed hermit. Having worked 

for a few years as a session musician with a 

number of Australian and international artists 

he started writing his own music in his spare 

time. He recorded these songs as a one-man 

project, recording all the instruments himself. 

He says, ‘I love the sound of real instruments 

being played by real people. I used no cutand-paste/autotune/synths/etc 

– just single 

complete takes of each track’. Connor’s music falls 

somewhere under the Alternative Indie Rock 

banner with comparisons being drawn to Wilco, 

Radiohead and The Strokes. You can download 

The R Complex free from www.connorbfitz.com, 

and you can see him live at the Beach Hotel 

on Thursday from 8.30pm.

The Last Harry 

The end is nigh! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – 

Part 2, the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series 

and the end of the most successful film franchise of all 

time, will be screening at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas from 

midnight Tuesday, with the boy wizard’s legion of fans 

already booking their tickets to be the first to see this muchanticipated 

film. In the epic finale, the battle between the 

good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into 

an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and noone 

is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon 

to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the 

climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. Fans can also 

enjoy Part 1 of the Deathly Hallows again in a special encore 

screening at the Dendy at 9pm on Tuesday July 12, with all 

tickets just $8, before Part 2 screens in larger-than-life 3D at 

midnight. 

Falling in Love 

It’s not every day that an art show starts life as six dresses 

and a love story, but it’s exactly this which prompted 

director Nadine Abensur to curate this year’s textile and 

fibre show. 

Impressed by the gallery, former ministerial advisor for the 

arts to the South Australian government, turned textile 

artist, Susie Duggin approached Nadine with her collection 

of highly embellished and romantic dresses. Conceived 

and crafted in the happy days of falling in love, each 

dress, handmade out of sumptuous silk, is then lovingly 

embroidered and titled with the terms of endearment 

that a lover might use. ‘The dresses,’ says Susie ‘are quite 

simply my love story. I stitched my love into being – and my 

being into love – leaving a secure job to follow my heart’s 

passion. These pieces are an expression of that passion. 

Through gentle meditations in stitch, from the blossoming 

of self-love to a love for my now husband, each piece 

simultaneously reflects and creates that love.’ 

And as love begets love, one by one more expressions of 

love found their way to the gallery and into the show. 

But the road to love isn’t always as smooth, as poignantly 

seen in Erin Endicott’s creations, sent all the way from 

Philadelphia. Her exquisitely unsettling pieces are open 

wounds on the hand-me-down gowns and kerchiefs of her 

grandmothers, slow stitch after slow stitch representing 

healing and the redemptive power of love. ‘Some people 

talk out their feelings, some write them to shed light on 

them; I literally crafted mine into visceral objects,’ she says. 

Meaghan Shelton’s swings and birdcages, strewn with 


her hand-wrought silk fl owers 

(originally made for the fi lm set 

of PJ Hogan’s Peter Pan, that 

most irresponsible 

of romantic 

thrillseekers), create 

a veritable garden 

of love, an exuberant 

crochet installation, 

honours the industry and 

versatility passed down 

through her matrilineal 

line. Esmerelda and Ray

Shai Pittman started her acting career at the age of seven 

as a featured extra on a runaway bus in an episode of Police 

Rescue. She’s still got an on-set photo of her with Gary 

Sweet. In between she has featured as Cathy Freeman’s body 

double in an Earth Hour commercial, posed as an athlete on 

the billboards and postage stamps celebrating the Athens 

Olympics and played a supporting role in an episode of All 

Saints. Her most signifi cant work is playing opposite Chris 

Haywood in an AFTRS short fi lm, the celebrated two-hander 

Fuse in 2005. Shai, a Blacktown girl, is a water baby and loves

Open Mic 

Comedy – 

Laugh it UP! 

It doesn’t matter if you live in Lismore or 

in the Byron Shire, if you love standup 

comedy then Mandy Nolan is making 

sure you can get yourself a nice big 

healthy dose of it. 

Mandy MCs the Standup Comedy Open 

Mic nights at the Tatts in Lismore on 

Wednesday and at the Courthouse 

in Mullumbimby on Thursday. After 

a brand-new crop of wannabee 

comedians made their graduation last 

month, Mandy now has some new 

blood for the stage. ‘I am astounded 

by the talent and the enthusiasm,’ Mandy says. 

‘Originally I thought I might struggle getting acts 

for two open mic rooms just one night apart but 

I have to close the books off on them early 

otherwise we’d have too many comedians!’ 

Open mic comedy is the training room for 

new comedy. Some may call it the comedy 

creche. Dangerous, ridiculous, embarrassing 

and wonderful, you never know what will 

happen next. With Mandy Nolan as MC, you 

can know that it’s going to be shockingly 

funny! Both rooms start at 8pm and are free! 

The White Guard 

The Sydney Theatre Company’s acclaimed 

production of The White Guard screens at 

Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas on Thursday at 

7.45pm, live via satellite. This is a pilot project by 

the STC to join the cinema program revolution 

of digitally capturing performances of plays, 

operas and concerts for screening in cinemas, 

with only four movie houses around Australia 

selected for this exciting new STC initiative. The 

White Guard is a lively and robust family saga set 

in 1918 Russia. The chaotic and rambling Turbin 

household is presided over by Lena, played 

by Miranda Otto, a woman caught between 

her husband’s wishes to fl ee Kiev before the 

advancing Red Army, and her brothers, members 

of the rag tag White Guard who have sworn 

to defend their city. The Turbin family and its 

numerous hangers-on eat, sing, squabble, fall in 

love and quaff copious amounts of alcohol as 

they await the arrival of the Bolsheviks. Family 

dynamics, the futility of war, the foibles of 

the heart and the great advantages of vodka 

are all boisterously examined in this funny and 

moving production adapted by STC’s Artistic Co-director 

Andrew Upton. Tickets $23/$25 on sale now at the Dendy.

The old Cosa school building is an excellent venue with 

its tall south-facing windows that allow constant indirect 

light. The classroom is spacious and the verandahs are warm

the growing interest, it appears likely that in addition to the

Transformers: Dark 

of the Moon 

takes up half the movie – and 

the mighty city of Chicago 

photographs well (must try 

and get there), but otherwise 

this is…well, words fail me… 

the best I come up with is 

‘unbearably awful’. ~ John

ENTERTAINMENT 7 

There’s an old joke: in an illconceived 

stage appearance, 

Sylvester ‘Steroid’ Stallone 

attempted the part of Hamlet. 

Came the Prince’s famous 

soliloquy – ‘to be, or not to 

be,…d’er…what was da 

question?’. Surrounded by 

hoodies and beanies, I could 

not help but remember Sly’s 

Mister Popper’s 

Penguins 

meat-headedness as the promo If anthropomorphism was 

for the National Theatre’s good enough for the ancient 

production of Shakespeare’s Egyptians, then it’s good 

great tragedy was, without 

any hope of reward, screened 

before the opening of this film 

of brutal, unending stupidity. 

The first five minutes held 

fleeting promise – we’re told 

that the 1969 landing on the 

Moon was inspired by America’s 

need to get there before the 

Russians in order to investigate 

the crash on it of an enormous 

spacecraft from another galaxy. 

Clever, if hardly revolutionary, 

techniques are employed to 

put presidents Kennedy, Nixon 

and Obama in the picture, 

but there is a sadness about 

the presence of the ‘real life’, 

enough for me. Interacting 

with other creatures and 

being nourished by our 

connectedness with all life, 

endlessly wondrous, is one 

of our deep-seated instincts, 

notwithstanding stunted 

bureaucrats who would allow 

only homo sapiens [sic] to walk 

‘our’ beaches. Maturity demands 

that we abandon silly animal 

stories as maps that might 

guide us along our paths, but 

they persist as a favourite in kids’ 

cinema – and long may it be so. 

Jim Carrey (my, isn’t he ageing?) 

is a bull-goose NYC property 

aged Buzz Aldrin in a scene developer. The divorced father 

that is meant to verify the of two, he owns a Manhattan 

story’s re-writing of history. It pad to die for and is on a career 

diminishes the genuinely heroic path that will take him beyond 

achievement of the Apollo 11 the top. His certainties are 

mission – as though all that thrown off the rails when he 

he and Armstrong and Collins receives from his late father – a 

did was provide a precursor to 

Hollywood exploitation. I felt 

belittled for him. Shia LaBeouf, 

reliably obnoxious, is Sam, the 

champion who saved the world 

in the previous two instalments 

of the franchise and, it goes 

without saying, is destined to do 

so again. He SHOUTS A LOT!, so 

as to be heard above the steady 

din, and is provided with Rose 

Huntington-Whitely as Carly, the 

Girl. Fitting perfectly into her 

role of helpless, collagen-lipped 

pouter in sexy clothes, the Ralph 

Lauren model contributes a 

performance that is not in the 

man he loved and admired but 

rarely saw – the gift of a group 

of penguins. In a crazy mash-up 

of the seven dwarves and Born 

Free, he unaccountably grows 

to love them while tending to 

their needs in his apartment 

(he opens all of its doors and 

windows to the city’s freezing 

winter weather), thus getting 

off side with his grasping 

employers who think that he’s 

flipped his lid. As compensation 

for his professional fall from 

grace, he re-engages with his 

children, who are enchanted 

least inhibited by her glaring by the waddling birds. The 

acting deficiencies. CGI is humour is hardly sophisticated 

impressive – which is just as – Carrey takes a blow to the 

well, given that the final battle balls in the first few minutes

– it’s unfair how the zookeeper 

is painted as a bad guy (an 

uncaring, interfering do-gooder 

denying the individualist his

WITH LILITH 

Overcoming volcano delays and 

jet lag, Australia’s Junta Ikeda and 

Moulthun Ly had a successful 

start to their world tour, finishing 

tied for fourth place at last week’s 

Philadelphia International. 

Ly, forced to take byes in the 

first two rounds, finished the 

tournament – the warm-up event 

for the World Open currently 

underway – undefeated. 

Ly’s result included a draw with 

the tournament winner Leonid 

Gerzhoy of Canada – one of only 

two draws Gerzhoy dropped in 

a dominating performance. The 

Queenslander is now within 

20 ranking points of becoming 

Australia’s next International 

Master. 

Canberra’s Ikeda was more 

shaky, losing two early games, 

but recovered with a run of three 

consecutive wins. 

Unfortunately Ly and Ikeda 

were paired together in the final 

round and the resulting draw was 

only good enough to give the 

two Australians a share of fourth 

place and $US700 each. 

Philadelphia has been a happy 

hunting ground for Australians

YOUR COMPLETE TILE CENTRE

Stars Home’s where the heart is in this month 

ARIES: Evaluate this week’s challenges and changes on Planet 

Trouble objectively. If your personal demons are acting up, 

get them on side by putting them to work maintaining a 

constructive attitude and ensuring your home zone’s a cosy, 

toasty haven in the midst of fl ux and ferment. 

TAURUS: Facts and logic aren’t the most eff ective 

communication tools right now, when rapport and empathy 

get better results. Sticking to prepared schedules isn’t easy 

either, so your best role this week is peacemaker - in the 

family circle, the commercial world and among your friends. 

GEMINI: The fact it’s hibernation time never stops a Gemini 

from partying and home’s the best place for entertaining this 

week. While all air signs are ideas people this is an emotional 

week, so if others are moody do special attention, little gifts 

and thoughtful words. 

CANCER: With the planet of glamour and attraction awarding 

you offi cial star status, this could be a very confi dent and 

juicy week. And even if Cancerian painter Frida Kahlo isn’t 

your artistic cuppa, you’ve nothing to lose by emulating her 

courageous and colorful authenticity. 

LEO: With Mercury in Leo providing the wow factor, you 

mediagenics are more popular than ever and so not in the 

mood to let anyone rain on your parade. Even so it doesn’t 

pay to neglect domestics, because right now the castle’s your 

most fl attering stage set. 

VIRGO: You’re extremely intuitive right now, and bonds can 

be strengthened by remembering to express love more often 

than you air concerns. Midweek Virgo moon in particular 

calls for the tricky tightrope walk of neither catering to other 

people's expectations nor making those expectations wrong. 

LIBRA: With your ruling planet in the sign of caretakers others 

are exceptionally receptive to your Venusian TLC of thoughtful 

of the domestically oriented Crab, with 

this week’s Cancerian focus on relatives, 

extended family and our planetary home… 

CHESS by Ian Rogers 

for decades, especially given the 

huge prizes available to lower 

ranked players in the subsidiary 

divisions of the World Open. 

In the early 1980s the core 

of Australia’s future Olympic 

teams – Darryl Johansen, Greg 

Hjorth and this writer – all used 

the World Open as a stepping 

stone to the European circuit 

and more recently Ly was able to 

take home $9,000 from the 2006 

World Open as a lowly ranked 

15-year-old. (Fortunately teenage 

Ly did not have the opportunity 

to follow the example of another 

Australian who won big at the 

1982 World Open, Eddy Levi, 

who then proceeded to lose all 

his winnings playing blackjack at 

nearby Atlantic City.) 

Yet for all the glamour inspired 

by its name and big prizes, the 

World Open is a quintessential 

US tournament. Players must 

bring along their own chess set 

and clock or risk waiting around 

at the playing hall for another 

Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7-10pm 

touches and exquisite little treats. Plus this week’s auspicious 

for things Librans enjoy doing like home renos and offi ce 

makeovers, with end of week Libra moon pleasingly romantic. 

SCORPIO: This week’s emphasis is on family gatherings - 

though loved ones may be uninclined to see things your way 

so don’t rely on support. In fact, don’t rely on anything and 

you won’t be disappointed. We can’t choose our family, but 

fortunately we can choose our friends… 

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s stars insist on personal nurturing: 

amping up the heater, slipping on the uggs indulging in 

doona therapy, whatever domestic pleasures work for 

you rolling stones. Boring? Not with your capacity for the 

dramatic, so please check smoke alarms and keep fl ammables 

off heating systems. 

CAPRICORN: If you’ve been letting work erode your 

emotional life, it’s time to reconnect with friends, rels and 

your own personal history. Not an altogether easy or stressfree 

enterprise in this week’s sensitive emotional weather, but 

you’ll fi nd transparency, determination and patience worth 

the eff ort. 

AQUARIUS: This week doesn’t favor innovation, but that’s no 

cause for concern when you can give something traditional a 

contemporary twist. If you’re assisting the fraught and overwrought, 

be ordinary and practical: a hug, cuppa, considerate 

ear and your irreverent humor. Hold the advice though... 

PISCES: This week’s for dealing with feelings, something you 

take for granted. If you’re nurturing high-anxiety friends then 

spend equal time with people and activities that support you, 

or your own emotional sore spots will clamour for attention 

via your lungs, nerves or some other body part. 

game to finish – or worse, play on 

the tiny green and purple pocket 

set that their opponent has 

brought along. 

Under such playing conditions, 

mental toughness trumps class 

every time, as the following game 

extract shows. 

Ikeda, playing Black against FIDE Master Miles 

Ardaman in the diagrammed position, has set 

himself up for a big attack but he saw that after 

38...Rxh3+!? 39.gxh3 Nf3+ 40.Kg3 Bg5 41.e4! 

holds. Going for more, Ikeda gets a lot less. 

38...Bxh3? 39.Rd5!! 

Suddenly it is Black who is in trouble. 

39...Rh5 40.Nhg3 Rh4 41.Nf5! gxf5 

42.Qxh4 Qg6 

‘Ah – a cheapo!’ said Ardaman with a smile, 

hoping perhaps to convince his opponent that 

his tricks won’t work and that he should resign 

soon. 

43.Ng3 Bg4 

‘Cheapo number two,’ said Ardaman, making 

clear that he saw Black’s threat of 44...Nf3+ 

45.gxf5 Bg5 trapping the queen. 

44.Kh1 Bf8 45.e4 Be7 46.exf5 Bxf5 

47.Rxe5? 

47.Nxf5 Qxf5 48.Qe1 was safe and decisive. 

47...Nf3!! 

‘Flashy,’ commented Ardaman, who thought 

that he was nonetheless winning a piece after 

48.Qf4 Nxe5 49.Qxe5 

However, he was shocked to see Ikeda reply 

with the simple 

49...Be6! 

The rest of the game was a sad decline by a 

demoralised and no longer so cocky Ardaman. 

50.Nh5?! Qf5! 51.Qe2 Bd6 52.Kg1 Bf7 

53.Qd1 Bc7 54.Ng7 Qf4! 55.Qc2 Qh2+ 

Short of time, as usual, Ikeda misses 55...Qe3+ 

56.Kf1 Bg6! winning instantly. 

56.Kf1 Qf4+ 57.Kg1 Qh2+ 58.Kf2 Bg3+ 

59.Kf3 Bd6 60.Qf2 Qf4+ 61.Ke2 Qe4+ 

62.Kf1 Bg6 

Again, 62...Qd3+ 63.Kg1 Qxc3 64.Qxf7 Qe1+ 

65.Qf1 Bh2+ 66.Kxh2 Qxf1 would have ended

Television Guide

Steven Spielberg’s hands, not without longueurs in 

the second half. 

2. Mathematicians love solving puzzles and their 

lives depend on it in Fermat’s Room (SBS2, Saturday, 

9pm), Spanish horror, now with added calculus. 

3. The FIFA Women’s World Cup has to compete 

with the Tour De France for screen time but you’ll 

find it on SBS1 and 2 at various odd times in the 

evenings from Saturday on. See more at www.fifa.

GOODTASTE 

Tarty tarts 

Victoria Cosford 

Winter beginnings are distinguished by the 

exchange of citrus. On my desk rolls another 

carrier bag of mandarins; my landlady leaves a 

tumble of oranges on my doorstep; the latest 

visit to my sister results in far more limes than 

I know what to do with. And of course lemons, 

the abundance of lemons! For weeks my Corso 

de’ Fiori fruit bowl is a still-life from Vogue Living, 

and then I notice the limes have turned pallid 

and the mandarins begin to rot, and I regret the 

lack of a marmalade-making gene. 

Briskly, before they too can wither, I decide for 

my lemons on a classic lemon tart one weekend 

when Beef Burgundy to precede it provides 

an excuse for friends to dinner. That sort of 

weather. I have scores of lemon tart recipes 

and the one I settle on, from Elizabeth Luard’s 

Saff ron & Sunshine, is randomly plucked. She 

calls hers a Tortell de Limon, a Catalan version; 

it is a triumph, even though in my ‘new’ rather 

slow oven it takes almost twice as long to bake 

as specifi ed. 

Lemon tarts are one of the stalwarts of 

restaurant dessert menus, alongside crème 

brûlées, chocolate fondants and panna cottas. 

There are endless variations on the theme, 

but credit for the craze must go to the Roux 

brothers back in the 1980s. One of their 

signature dishes was Tarte au Citron, or lemon 

tart, with its tangy creamy custard fi lling barely 

trembling within a case of perfect pastry, served 

at room temperature with a dusting of icing 

sugar. Indeed its recipe is strikingly similar to 

Luard’s Catalan version – except that she uses 

twice the quantity of eggs, a daunting nine. 

But otherwise there it is, a buttery short pastry

par-cooked before being 

fi lled with a combination 

of eggs, sugar, lemon juice 

and double cream then 

returned to the oven to bake until the citrus 

custard has set. 

So that’s the classic – but once I started hunting 

I found other possibilities. One requires that, 

rather than a custard, you fi ll the tart shell with 

a lemon curd: no baking involved at all once 

you have blind-baked your pastry, and no need 

to even turn on the oven if the tart shell is 

composed of a cheesecake-type base of crushed 

biscuits bound with melted butter. The lemon 

curd is essentially a sabayon, and needs to be 

stirred in a bowl over simmering water for 20–25 

minutes, until it thickens, and fi nally enriched 

with extra butter. (Lemon curd is a useful thing 

to keep in the refrigerator if you make too much: 

juice three lemons and grate one fi nely then 

whisk into four eggs and one cup caster sugar 

previously creamed together. With a wooden 

spoon stir in the top of a double-boiler until very 

thick then remove from heat and whisk in 125 g 

chopped unsalted butter.) 

Then there are lemon tarts more like 

cheesecakes, blending cream cheese with sugar, 

eggs, lemon juice and rind then baked: mere 

pretenders. One recipe I found called for a fi lling 

of sweetened condensed milk, double-whipped 

cream, lemon juice and lemon rind: another 

no-cook no-brainer. Thomas Keller’s version 

uses the sabayon fi lling but a sensational base 

incorporating ground pine nuts into the pastry.

& Ballistic . 

The second half opened with 

little improvement. The Devils 

could not take a trick and had 

their woes doubled by baffling 

rulings from the Bourke and 

Hare combination of touchie 

and ref. 

When all seemed lost, Coleman 

went on a rampaging run 

on the eastern edge of Lower’s 

ruck – the Magpies didn’t 

want a bar of the big fella – 

before the ball found its way 

to five-eighth Adam Gordon 

and thence to full back Bill 

Lowrie, who took two tacklers 

with him across the line. 

Gordon’s sideline conversion 

noticeably lifted the home side 

and within no time they were 

in again when centre Michael 

Chapman, still without garters 

for his socks, capitalised on 

a scintillating run from halfback 

Peter Flannery. 

How the Devils had pulled 

back to be 18-all after looking 

so poorly for so long was a minor 

miracle, but they rubbed 

salt into the Magpies’ disinte- 

results@echo.net.au 

grating morale through another 

try to Lowrie, who sauntered 

through bamboozled and rapidly 

tiring opponents. 

The officials continued to 

find fault under every pebble 

– it would not have surprised 

if the they’d penalised the 

boys for not having their jerseys 

tucked in – but Chapman 

the Wolfman, an ever-present 

danger, darted from dummy 

half on a last tackle and somehow 

squirted a pass to his unmarked 

winger, Dwayne Cahill. 

The try for ‘Drano’ was a 

rich reward, for he had earlier 

intervened at crucial moments 

to deny the visitors when the 

game was still in the balance. 

Gordon wrapped up proceedings 

by stepping crossfield 

crab-like to find a hole and 

plant the pill under the sticks. 

The mob went up and the Devils, 

strangely, had recorded another 

handsome victory. 

Now third on the ladder, 

they are next at home to the 

Ballina Seagulls on July 17. 

To celebrate the 

Gold Coast Suns’ 

inaugural season

OS Golf buddies 

Ocean Shores Ladies’ Golf 

Club’s Captain Bev Wingad 

and Handicapper Pam Keenan 

have been friends since 1986 

when Bev moved from Melbourne 

and took up golf at 

Yamba, where Pam was already 

a member. 

They were Captain and Vice- 

Captain there for several years 

before Pam and her husband 

John moved north in 1994. 

In 2011 Bev and Ian followed 

and with all these years of 

friendship and playing regularly 

together, it was not until this 

year that they finally paired up 

for a teams event. 

In May they won the Foursomes 

Championship, and in 

June they won the three-day 

Shoot-Out. They swear you 

won’t be able to prise them 

apart from now on.

Billy Goats bring it to rep rugby union 

Off to South Africa are Jack, Vinnie, Blake in the back row, (Kurt McDonald not pictured) and 

Jess, Gem, Jasper, Tim, Sean, and Rhys – missing is Mitch. Photo Tree Faerie. 

Brunswick Valley Junior Rugby 

Club under 17s players Blake 

Hawkins, Vinnie Quigley, Kurt 

McDonald and Jack Williams 

have been selected to tour 

South Africa with the NSW 

Country Schools Development 

Squad. 

Jack Williams has also been 

selected for the NSW Combined 

Catholic Colleges Squad 

while his three team mates 

also made the NSW Country 

Squad. 

Four other members of the 

Billy Goats Under 17s team, 

Tim Browning, Mitch Buckley, 

Rhys Daniels and Sean Watkins, 

also participated in the 

recent trials. Th e did the club 

proud and were very close to 

selection. 

Th is level of representation is 

testament to the skill and dedication 

of the lads individually 

and the Billy Goats as a whole. 

It is indicative of the talent 

coming through at all levels of 

the club and the commitment 

of all players, coaches, parents 

and supporters. 

When the parents of the four 

lucky lads fi nally stopped grin- 

ning with pride, the realisation 

dawned that they each had to 

raise $4500 to fund the South 

African trip. 

As the Billy Goats are making 

a habit of selection in Rep 

Squads more and more parents 

are facing the challenges 

involved with financing the 

extensive travel. 

Th e Club wants to support 

parents by running regular 

fundraisers to offset these 

costs, the first of which is a 

Trivia and Auction night to be 

held on Saturday August 20. 

Th e Club is also asking local 

business to consider donating 

either goods or services of any 

value to be raffl ed, auctioned 

or as prizes for the evening. We 

would also love local businesses 

or sporting and community 

organisations to nominate 

teams. Th e evening promises 

to be a great event with some 

terrifi c prizes and surprises in 

store. 

The Trivia Night starts at 

6pm at the Billinudgel Hotel. 

Cost is $10 per player with a 

minimum of six players per 

team. 

To register a team or make 

a donation phone either Dave 

Harman on 6680 1112 or 6684 

1822 or Dean Trevaskis on 

6680 4976. 

Bone crunching union wins and losses 

Moonshiners 

Dean Trevaskis 

It was an aft ernoon of crunching 

bones and anguished 

groans as the Mullum Moonshiners 

hosted the Evans River 

Killer Whales. Aft er an even 

start Evans registered two 

quick tries thanks to a Samoan 

winger that twice skipped 

through the Shiners’ defence 

like a magician. Th e run to half 

time was punctuated with a 

split head, a serious broken leg 

to Dashing Dion Vogt, who is 

hopefully recovering well following 

surgery on Sunday, and 

fi nally a Mullum red card for 

a retaliatory but well delivered 

straight right. 

After the half, Mullum’s 

best player on the day, Simon 

Hutton, slid across to make it 

12 – 7 as the heavens opened. 

Max Saisai was doing plenty 

of work from number eight as 

the game was played out in the 

forwards. Two late tries to Evans 

put the game to bed with 

the Shiners going down 24 – 7. 

Special mention for Damian 

Browning who came from further 

back than Kiwi in the 83 

Cup to steal a famous victory 

in the boat race. 

Th e Under 19s hosted Ballina 

and were competitive for the 

fi rst twenty minutes until the 

opposition ran in three tries 

in ten minutes just prior to the 

half. Big Will Campbell in the 

second row had an outstanding 

game for Mullum and scored 

their solitary try. Next week 

both sides have home games at 

Brunswick Heads with the 19s 

hosting Yamba at 12.30pm and 

the Seniors up against Kyogle 

at 2.30pm. 


Story by DJ Longtime 

The Byron Bay rugby team 

travelled to Iluka on Saturday 

hoping to reverse three years of 

away losses to the hard tackling 

Cossacks. Th e Bay won 54-0. 

Th e early signs were promising 

for Iluka who enjoyed 

all the territory and possession 

in the fi rst seven minutes. 

Th e Bay’s ever reliable fullback 

Shane Morritt was called on 

to make a robust cover tackle, 

snuffi ng out a well-worked play 

from the Iluka backs. 

Byron’s desperate goal-line 

defence was then able to hold 

up a maul close to their own 

line to win a scrum advantage. 

It was then the visitors turn 

with the ball and centre Sean 

Reilly ran a perfect angle from 

deep to score under the posts. 

Iluka defended keenly close to 

the ruck but Byron’s underrated 

forward pack showed great 

patience and technical skill to 

punch over the advantage line. 

Kiwi flanker Michael Armstrong 

scored a trademark try, 

leaving a trail of defenders on 

the ground and when lock Logan 

Melville powered over the 

line the signs were ominous. 

Byron secured a four-try bonus 

point within half an hour 

but squandered a few more opportunities 

close to the break. 

Determined to reverse a recent 

trend of easing off in the 

second half, the Bay produced 

some of their best rugby late in 

the game against an opposition 

desperate to keep the score-line 

respectable. Versatile winger 

David Ryan scored twice and 

kicked six goals from as many 

attempts for a personal tally 

of 22 points. Melville found 

the line again and playmaker 

Frank Kearney capped another 

class performance with two 

tries of his own. 

On a day when it might have 

been tempting to go showboating, 

Byron’s forward pack were 

committed, selfl ess and disciplined. 

Captain Josh Smith led by 

example, Liam Powell was 

dominant at the set piece and 

lock Dan Ryan was the quiet 

achiever at almost every breakdown. 

Mick Leece, who has 

played this season at hooker 

and fl anker, was outstanding 

in the halfb ack role. 

Byron Bay are now nine wins 

from nine starts but their credentials 

will be well and truly 

tested at home this Saturday. 

Th e Bay host Evans Head who 

have emerged as a genuine title 

chance with fi ve wins in a 

row. Kick-off at the Recreation 

Fields is at 2.30pm. 

Bangalow 

Bangalow travelled to Kyogle 

for a much-anticipated game 

against their arch-rivals. With 

only two reserves on the bench 

against the second best side it 

was going to be a good test 

for the visitors. Bangalow defended 

their line for the fi rst 

ten minutes, defusing countless 

attempts at tries, but gave 

away early penalties which put 

them under pressure. Kyogle 

kicked a penalty and Bangalow 

responded. Th is woke up 

the home side and two dubious 

tries to Kyogle to go up 20-3 

with ten minutes to go killed 

off any hope of a win. 

Th is weekend Bangalow travel 

to Yamba for a tough game.

adcopy@tweedecho.com.au 

Comprehensively 

covering the 

Far North Coast 

Jason Dodds, head building inspector 

for Dwell Building Services, 

has actively observed the 

frequency with which these top 

seven totally avoidable defects 

occur in normal houses in the 

Tweed and Gold Coast areas. 

By getting maintenance issues 

under control, when it comes 

time to sell your property it 

will withstand the scrutiny of a 

building inspection all the better 

for having addressed these 

key areas: 

1. Th e guttering and valleys in 

your roof require cleaning at 

regular intervals. Blocked gutters 

cause water to back fl ow 

and potentially fl ood the eaves 

and the ground below. 

2. Ensure your downpipes are 

clear from blockage and are 

piped directly to equally clear, 

unblocked drains. In the absence 

of drains, make sure water 

is discharged away from the footings 

and walls of the property. 

3. If your hot water system is 

beside the house, ensure that its 

overfl ow pipe is directed away 

from the footings – if 

possible, re-direct 

via tubing 

to either 

a grassy 

area or a 

drainage 

outlet. A 

constant drip on the 

house’s footings is, in the short 

term, conducive to timber pest 

activity and in time will undermine 

the footings. 

4. If the home is a brick, slabon-ground 

construction, make 

sure soil from the garden beds

does not cover the slab/brick 

junction, as this encourages 

timber pest infestation. Make 

sure that weep holes remain 

uncovered, as they are there to 

encourage air fl ow in the subfl 

oor and discourage moisture 

build-up. 

5. Remove any debris that may 

be stored around or under the 

property. Stored items made 

of wood or stacked timber in 

direct contact with the ground 

is likely to attract timber pests. 

6. Check all the wet areas including 

kitchen, bathroom and laundry 

for degraded grout/sealant. 

If the grouted area is seriously 

worn, engage a reputable 

tradesperson to re-seal 

and re-grout. 

Leaking 

wet 

areas often 

lead to serious 

water damage to 

your subfl oor over time. 

7. Kitchen cupboard doors 

and vanity doors oft en require 

adjustment aft er opening and 

closing year aft er year - this can 

be done with a screw driver. 

Sliding doors to built-ins and 

patios should also be adjusted 

to slide easily.

Property market slows as rising household 

costs make home buyers more cautious 

Higher food and energy bills 

have slowed spending by Australian 

consumers and discouraged 

them from being active 

in the property market, the 

latest Bankwest/MFAA Home 

Finance Index has found. 

Th e latest Bankwest/MFAA 

Home Finance Index interviewed 

1,139 respondents dur- 

Heidi Last 

0416 072 868 

Licensed Real Estate Agent 

ing May and found that 37.5 

per cent of respondents rated 

themselves worse off fi nancially 

than 12 months earlier. 

Just 19.1 per cent of respondents 

intended to be active in 

the property market in the next 

12 months, down from 21.6 per 

cent in January. 

More households have seen 

their financial conditions 

worsen compared to those 

who have seen an improvement, 

representing the weakest 

level seen since November 

2008, during the GFC. Especially 

aff ected were those living 

in rural areas, those close to 

retirement and those who are 

self-employed. 

Bankwest Head of Specialist 

Banking Ian Rakhit said, ‘A 

rise in basic costs, like energy 

and food, is having a big impact 

on the household budget 

at the moment. Households 

are becoming more conservative 

with their spending and 

this is flowing through to a 

more cautious attitude to the 

housing market both in terms 

of whether it’s the right time 

to enter the market and how 

prices will track.’ 

Th e Bankwest/MFAA Home 

Finance Index pointed to 

mixed opinions on the direction 

of house prices. Over a 

third (36.3%) of people thought 

prices would be steady in the 

coming year; 28.8 per cent 

looked for higher prices and 

34.9 per cent saw the prospect 

of lower prices. 

Th e majority of households 

expected interest rates to move 

higher (68.7%) over the next 

year. Just fi ve per cent thought 

interest rates would go down in 

the next year. 

Looking at what impacts 

on family fi nances, on a scale 

of one to five, interest rates 

ranked 3.4 whereas fuel ranked 

3.7 and food ranked 3.6. 

‘Th e other key message from 

our survey is that households 

are still wary of higher interest 

rates, despite the fact that 

they are already doing it tough 

fi nancially,’ said the Chief Executive 

of the MFAA, Phil 

Naylor. 

‘It appears that people are 

feeling some fi nancial pain at 

present but they are also anticipating 

things might get worse 

before they get better, and this 

cycle will need to be broken in 

order for the housing market to 

show signs of life.’ 

Bankwest’s Ian Rakhit said, 

‘If rates remain at current levels 

over the next quarter, then it 

will be nearly a year of steady 

offi cial rates and could somewhat 

break the cycle. As a result 

of this, consumers could 

become more optimistic about 

home purchases if the fl atter 

rate environment continues.’ 

Th e Bankwest/MFAA Home 

Finance Index also showed that 

the proportion of respondents 

struggling to meet house loan 

repayments (but still meeting 

them) grew to one in four 

(25.7%) in May, from around 

one in seven in previous studies. 

However, the majority of 

borrowers (68.2%) are still easily 

meeting their repayments 

whilst 5.2 per cent have repaid 

late while less than 1 per cent 

were behind on payments.

Apart from Woolies and potholes, 

nothing releases bile 

from the livers of our readers 

like dogs, for and against. We 

had far too many letters about 

the New Brighton off -leash dog 

walking area to fi t them all in, 

but a few are on page 12. We 

also remind correspondents 

that the letters deadline is noon 

Friday, so Sunday and Monday 

are right out of the question. 

Companion animals rule, bugger 

climate change. 

 

However, if you are interested 

in climate change, read Mick 

O’Regan’s review of Paul Gilding’s 

hard-hitting book The 

Great Disruption on page 17. 

If you read this Backlash in 

time, you can catch Paul Gilding 

at Bangalow A&I Hall 

tonight at 6pm in ‘Mother 

Nature Collides With Father 

Greed’, an event organised by 

the Green Coast Catalysts. See 

more about Gilding at http:// 

paulgilding.com. And a good 

background document on the 

science of climate change and 

related FAQ is available as PDF 

download from the Australian 

Potholes again: The contributor of this photo reckons Orchid 

Street in Mullum is ‘the worst street in the shire, more pothole 

than anything else’. There is light at the end of the potholed 

tunnel, however. Another reader off ers a ‘brilliant initiative in 

Johannesburg. The good people of South Africa were getting 

royally pissed off with damage to their Lexuses, BMWs and 

taxis. Aside from kids in local areas fi lling potholes in with 

dirt and charging a toll fee, this more sophisticated initiative 

is a winner. And they bought the equipment from NZ, just 

down the road from us!’ See the story at http://leadsa.co.za/10-

Worried about your political integrity after buying cheap toilet 

paper from Woolies? A reader off ers ‘the Sustainable Burqa for 

incognito Woolies shopping. Made from a cloth shopping bag, 

it’s re-usable, sustainable and will keep your ethical reputation 

intact.’ Another reader suggests ‘a disguise stall outside Mullum 

Woolworthless. Buy or hire by the hour. A whole bunch of 

Groucho Marx lookalikes trying to pretend they’re still cool 

while surrendering to the economic imperative.’

If you missed it in Mullum fi rst 

time around here’s your chance 

to see Th e Echo Doco – Born 

To Be Trouble, screening this 

Friday at the Drill Hall at 7pm. 

Delicious hot food and chai at 

6pm by B-SANE group (Byron 

Saving Australia’s Natural 

Environment) who are campaigning 

to stop Coal Seam 

Gas Mining. 

 

If you’re over the dog thing, 

then why not adopt a former 

battery hen? See www.homesforhens.net 

for more information. 

Hens are entertaining 

companions, they give you 

eggs and, unlike dogs, their 

crap is actually useful! 

 

In conclusion this week, we offer 

a link to a YouTube video 

of singer/songwriter/comedian 

Katie Goodman in action 

– http://bit.ly/jdvJdG. The F 

word is used oft en and to great 

eff ect as an antidote to our own 

stupidity and to the incompetence 

of others. May it bring a 

smile or two to your face.
