Restore planning powers to 

local government: Greens 

Story & photo Hans Lovejoy 

The State Government’s controversial 

legislation that gives them veto over 

Council’s decisions on planning was 

highlighted this week by Greens State 

member David Shoebridge. 

He claims it will see a decision on 

the West Byron Urban Land Release 

Area made by the Minister for Planning 

instead of Council. 

‘It is simply outrageous that the developers 

can choose to bypass Byron 

Council and have their development 

assessed by the Minister for Planning. 

Why should a Minister in Sydney decide 

West Byron development?’ said 

Mr Shoebridge. 

‘Decisions of this importance must 

be made by people who have to live 

with the consequences of that decision,’ 

he said. ‘Key local planning decisions 

should be made by the local 

council following genuine consultation 

with local residents.’ 

‘By any measure the proposed 108 

hectare site just west of Byron Bay is 

an over development,’ he said. 

‘If approved, it will have an enormous 

impact on Byron Bay. 

‘It’s clear Byron Council wanted to 

assess this project in the context of a 

new Local Environment Plan for the 

whole Shire, and that seems to me 

the right and proper way to assess a 

project of this magnitude. 

‘Labor’s corrupted planning system 

has been put in place with the support 

of the Coalition. It has handed power 

over planning and the environment to 

developers, with the views and skills 

of local residents ending up ignored. 

Mr Shoebridge was in Byron last 

Friday as part of a state tour of local 

councils to garner support for the repeal 

of Part 3A, which gives the State 

power over councils. 

‘I know Mayor Jan Barham and her 

team are working hard with residents 

on this issue, and I’d encourage people 

everywhere to join the Greens campaign 

against Part 3A.’ 

Minister for Planning Tony Kelly’s 

office and Shadow Minister Brad 

Hazzard will be responding to questions 

on the issue in next week’s Echo.

Michelle Gratten, Cr Tom Tabart, Cr Simon Richardson and State Greens 

member David Shoebridge.

Council drops case against Buck$ 

Michael McDonald 

Byron Shire Council aims to revoke 

orders in the Land and Environment 

Court against Fast Buck$, aka John 

Anderson, in relation to development 

of his property at Coorabell. 

A letter of November 2 from Council’s 

solicitors Marsdens Law Group 

advises Buck$ that Council ‘is prepared 

to revoke this order on the basis 

that the appeal proceedings are to be 

discontinued with each party paying 

their own costs.’ 

In a statement Buck$ noted ‘In 

June Council voted without notice 

and without debate to give the General 

Manager authority to take whatever 

action against my property he 

deemed fit. Accordingly in September 

I received orders to cease, desist and 

remove etc under the Local Government 

Act and the EP&A Act. 

‘The decision to now withdraw 

those orders has been made by the 

GM, not by the elected councillors, 

who still have not admitted to their 

procedural folly. 

Multiple occupancy 

claims still valid 

‘I can only speculate as to the politics 

behind this retreat, but a letter 

from Council’s lawyers cited my claim 

that my 1990 multiple occupancy is 

still valid. Clearly this would need to 

be resolved before any orders could 

be made against specific dwellings on 

my property. It seems then that the 

revocation reflects legal advice rather 

than any outbreak of common sense 

about the unauthorised rural dwellings 

problem.’ 

When asked to comment on reasons 

for dropping the order, Council 

pointed to the staff report in the 

agenda for this coming Thursday’s 

meeting. 

The report notes in part: ‘Council 

has previously been advised in similar 

matters that defending appeals 

against orders is not the most efficient 

or cost effective way in which 

to pursue enforcement action. This is 

because even if the Court determines 

that Council issued Orders are valid 

and enforceable, that can sometimes 

have no practical effect, as further

Fair last Friday, which gave 

everyone the opportunity to 

see the new hall and sculpture 

show. 

The rides, petting zoo and 

food stalls were well patronised 

as was the chance to operate 

the Mullum Fire Brigade’s

Car crashes into gas 

bottles; closes Jonson St 

Hans Lovejoy 

A potentially dangerous situation 

was averted by the SES 

and police last Saturday night 

in Byron Bay. 

Gas bottles were damaged 

when a P-plate driver crashed 

into a building at the south end 

of Jonson St, causing minor 

damage and thankfully no explosion. 

SC1437_BSE 

Witness Mauricio Laratro 

told The Echo he noticed the 

police had closed the streets 

between the Green Garage 

roundabout and the Services 

Club. 

‘The accident happened 

around 9pm and when I took 

a closer look, a police officer 

said to stand clear as it was unsafe.’ 

Police reopened Jonson 

St around 11pm. 

Planning project for Bruns 

Brunswick Heads Chamber 

of Commerce President Peter 

Wotton has announced a new 

five-year planning project that 

he says will continue the collaborative 

efforts to give the local 

community the best chance 

possible of controlling its own 

destiny. 

Penny Watson, Project Facilitator 

of the new ‘Taking Care 

of Brunswick’ project, Community 

Economic Transition 

Plan (CETP) said, ‘We have 

such great community spirit, 

creativity and vision and these 

are such important qualities for 

a community to have – they 

will hold us in good stead for 

any challenges that we may 

face in the future, such as more 

extreme weather events, sea 

level rise, rising cost of fuel and 

utilities such as electricity, food 

security and other significant 

social, economic and environ- 

continued from page 1 

Class 4 enforcement action can 

still become necessary if the 

landowner fails to comply with 

the Orders. 

‘In the meantime, it is noted 

that in August 2010 for the first 

time the landowner, through 

its solicitors, indicated that 

it may consider making “detailed 

submission” to Council 

that the previous Multiple Occupancy 

development consent 

issued for the subject property 

was lawfully commenced and 

mental impacts. 

‘The project gives us a timely 

opportunity to plan for the 

next five years with the longer 

term in mind. The Brunswick 

community is in a strong position 

to take advantage of the 

potential opportunities emerging 

out of our changing world.’ 

Robert Rosen has been recently 

engaged to join Penny as 

the Project Manager for the Taking 

Care of Brunswick CETP 

project. Robert was a consultant 

with the Tweed Caldera CETP 

last year, and has extensive experience 

in community economics, 

socially responsible investment 

and environmental issues. 

The pair will now meet 

with local community groups 

and will coordinate a Community 

Representatives Forum 

in December, with community 

workshops planned 

for next year. 

Council drops Buck$ case 

has therefore not lapsed and 

may be acted upon. It is noted 

that staff have previously invited 

the landowner to submit 

any information it may rely on 

to support its case for lawful 

commencement but the landowner 

has not previously taken 

up that invitation. 

‘The letter dated 12 August 

2010 indicated that the submission 

would be made “in 

the immediate future” however, 

they [sic] have not been 

received to date.’

Introduction to Grail Quest 

(an 8-week course) which is the 

opening term of the two year parttime 

foundation course. 

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form 

of adult education based on the work

experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story 

telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art 

of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is 

necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from 

competition and is focused on individual growth. The 

course aims to teach through the heart, hand and 

mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love 

of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite 

for the Steiner Teacher Training programme. 

...a journey 

into the 

Spiritual Science 

of Rudolf Steiner... 

Some of the themes explored in the 

course are: 

The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. 

The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. 

The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. 

The Evolution of Consciousness.

Bruns marine rescue crews needed 

As the busy summer season 

approaches the rescue boat 

crew of Brunswick NSW Marine 

Rescue are appealing for 

new members to man Sea Rescue 

One. 

Adrenalin fuelled 

This challenging and rewarding 

role is an entirely 

voluntary position that will involve 

many rewarding hours at 

sea on the newly refitted boat. 

Rescue Boat Captain Mark 

Gasson said, ‘This position 

will be challenging, demanding 

and rewarding for all those 

that step forward. 

‘The job is both exciting and 

adrenalin fuelled, but it is also 

fraught with challenges. 

‘From dealing with casualties, 

lost and distressed swimmers 

and surfers, stricken 

yachts, fishing vessels and 

power boats we encounter all 

manner of situations at sea. 

‘We have a very competent 

and committed crew who are 

prepared to go to sea day or 

night, virtually whatever the 

conditions. 

‘We operate a tight team and 

depend on each other both on 

and off the water.’ 

The Brunswick NSW Marine 

Rescue Crew is able to induct, 

train and provide experience to 

any member of the community. 

Hatton’s in the mood for overhaul 

Veteran independent politician 

John Hatton wants to 

clean up the corruption in 

NSW politics and was in Mullumbimby 

last Friday on a 

town hall pit stop. 

In September, 37 years after 

he was first elected to the NSW 

State Parliament as an independent 

MP, Mr Hatton announced 

his intention to field 

the ‘John Hatton Independent 

Team’ of 21 independent candidates 

for the NSW Legislative 

Council in March next year. 

‘I want to see independents 

stand in every seat of the lower 

house which is not already represented 

by an independent,’ he 

said in a statement. ‘This will 

entail finding 87 candidates. 

Mr Hatton says he will head 

the upper house ticket. So far 

he has one other runner, Ian 

Scandrett of Moss Vale. 

‘People are suspicious of 

both parties, and want to 

take government back from 

the timeservers, spin doctors, 

shonks and carpetbaggers.’ 

He has called for a Royal 

Commission into the planning 

process in NSW. There are allegations 

that developers contributing 

to Labor Party funds 

routinely have their projects 

approved. He is also concerned 

by the influence of the liquor 

and gaming industries, which 

prevent the cleaning up of 

problem hotels. ‘Last year there 

were 73,000 incidents of serious 

violence related to alcohol, 

but nothing is done,’ he said. 

Mr Hatton believes that 

parliament needs to be overhauled, 

with a return to due 

process and transparency. 

For more visit www.johnhatton.com.au. 

Training takes place every 

second Thursday from 5.30pm 

to 7.30pm and covers navigation, 

first aid, seamanship, boat 

engineering, search and rescue 

techniques, dealing with casualties, 

boat handling and radio 

operation. 

All training is provided in 

house and will extend from 

obtaining the basic NSW Boat 

Licence and VHF Radio Licence, 

to Competent Crew extending 

to Accredited Rescue 

Coxswain. 

Mark said, ‘This is a great 

way for people to learn more 

about the ocean, boating and 

emergency services. 

Although is it a big commitment 

the rewards are well 

worth it.’ 

Mark is an RYA power boat 

instructor and has been a Rescue 

Boat Coxswain in the UK 

and Australia for the last twelve 

years. 

He is ready to accept any 

potential volunteers over the 

age of 18.

be launching their program at 

Schoolies this year. 

Schoolies HUB Coordinator, 

Nicqui Yazdi said, ‘Amongst 

other things, the NRMA funding 

has purchased 150 identifiable 

t-shirts for the volunteers 

of the Schoolies HUB and also 

volunteers for other high traffic 

times over summer, including 

New Year’s Eve.’ 

In an effort to reduce the 

amount of disposable cups that 

were used at last years Schoolies

will also enable the purchase 

refillable, biodegradable water 

bottles on lanyards which 

the HUB will be selling to the

YOUTH MENTORSHIP 

Becoming a musician is a life path 

and as part of an initiative to provide 

those fi rst career steps we are inviting 

young musicians to participate in the 

2010 Mullum Music Festival. 

The Youth Memberships will be 

awarded in four categories: 

Folk / World Music 

mentored by Nano Stern 

Singer / Songwriter 

mentored by Jesse & Emily 

Lubitz (Tinpan Orange) 

Band 

mentored by Bill Jacobi

The young artist/s to be chosen will receive: 

 

 

 

Applicants need to be 18 or under. 

‘A Mentorship for young people is so invaluable – the 

opportunities to connect and collaborate are simply 

gold! It is so creatively fruitful and enables really 

marvelous musical relationships to develop and the 

bonuses are on both sides. Programs like this can set 

the direction for inspiration – I would leap at this!’ 

– Melia from Scarlett Affection 

The Youth Membership Program will be co-ordinated 

by Cape Byron Steiner’s Music teacher, Tom Whitaker. 

Rehearsal space will be at the Mullumbimby Height 

rehearsal rooms – Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School.

Applications close Friday November 12, 2010. 

bottles will also have a ‘Summer 

Safety in the Bay’ label on 

them and a packet of discount 

vouchers, condoms, Schoolies 

information booklets and 

other goods will also be attached 

via a dog-clip. The bottles 

will be able to be refilled 

at a rehydration station within 

the HUB. 

As a co-author of The Intimacy 

of Dying, a celebrant and the 

President of the Natural Death 

Centre, Zenith is committed to 

creating new channels of communication 

around death. 

The Day of the Dead Community 

Celebration at Heritage 

Park in Mullumbimby is 

an annual occurence which 

Zenith believes offers people 

something more than ‘trashy 

Halloween’. 

The Day Of The Dead is a 

Mexican tradition but Zenith 

believes it has relevance here. 

‘The Day of the Dead is a 

primal human response to 

acknowledging that death is a 

natural part of our lives, that 

we lose those we love, and that 

we want to stay connected to 

them in some way. Other religions/cultures 

celebrate their 

dead in whatever way is culturally 

appropriate. It also teaches 

children some important real 

lessons about life and love.

‘With less than two weeks 

until the first of the young visitors 

arrive, the Byron Schoolies 

Safety Response is still seeking 

volunteers to assist at the HUB 

this year,’ she said. 

The HUB is open 24/7 for 

18 days from November 19 to 

December 6 and the volunteers 

will be rostered on for four 

Day of the Dead ceremony this Sunday 

Zenith also believes that 

these gatherings support the 

grieving process. 

‘It’s an optional event, so 

people come and do whatever 

is appropriate for them. The 

Natural Death Centre has created 

our DOTD to allow people 

to come together to be with 

their loss and their loved ones, 

as a part of a cultural change in 

the way we do death. 

‘Funerals are becoming more 

personalised and more celebratory, 

which is only a good thing 

for those left behind. 

‘If people feel they have done 

someone proud or honoured 

them in an appropriate way, 

been more involved, given it 

their best, they can move into 

an easier grief or bereavement.’ 

According to Zenith, The 

Natural Death Centre is focused 

on making death a more 

‘natural’ part of our lives by 

‘encouraging people to discuss 

and prepare, to embrace the

experience rather than pretend 

it’s not happening. Some will 

have a spiritual journey, some 

may have a reflective time. It’s 

about being real!’ 

Zenith believes that The Day 

of the Dead is pertinient for 

this area because we have always 

been a flagship for doing 

things differently. 

‘We are leaders in a natural 

– or what some call alternative 

– approach to life and lifestyle’ 

says Zenith, ‘and as a consequence 

that carries on to death. 

‘We are also more in touch 

with a holistic approach to 

everything, many people are 

following loose Buddhist principles 

and these totally support 

people through loss and bereavement.’ 

The Day of the Dead will be 

held at Heritage Park in Mullumbimby 

on Sunday, at the 

Dalley St end from 3pm. At 

4pm there will be a ceremony 

led by Zenith.

North Byron Parklands - a History 

2006 

Byron Council hired a Community Economic Development Officer whose job, in 

part, was to identify a site for large scale events (BSC agenda 20/12/05, p 36). 

4 September 2006 - The NSW Department of State and Regional Development 

(DSRD) facilitated a meeting of key agencies (DSRD, the Department of 

Environment and Climate Change, the Department of Planning and Byron 

Shire Council). The meeting recognised the conceptual merit of the proposal 

to establish a cultural facility of regional significance, whilst simultaneously 

achieving significant environmental outcomes. 

September 2006 - North Byron Parklands met and consulted with immediate 

neighbours and CONOS. Given their positive response, on 15 September 2006 

we met with the Mayor, Cr Jan Barham, councillors, senior staff and Council’s 

ecologist David Milledge, who supported the plans for our cultural event venue. 

December 2006 - The property was purchased and on 19 December 2006 

Council resolved to ‘rezone’ it as a cultural event site. 

Council report to meeting 19 December 2006: 

Purpose: To recommend an amendment to Byron LEP 1988 to facilitate a 

proposed Regional Cultural and Events Facility at Wooyung. 

Summary: For a number of years the issue of a sustainable site for events has 

been under consideration. This proposed area of 260 hectares (660 acres), 

adjacent to the Pacific Highway and on the northern edge of Byron Shire, has 

attributes to accommodate large events subject to some rezoning of the land. 

The proposal, if it proceeds to finality, will result in a number of benefits to 

the community, environmentally through the enhancement of regional wildlife 

corridors and land swaps, economically through potential employment 

prospects and socially/culturally as a centre for festivals and events. 

Solar tariff cut ‘makes privatisation easier’ 


 

Luis Feliu 

The recent cut to the NSW 

government’s solar-power 

gross feed-in tariff has sent 

shock waves throughout the 

solar energy industry in the 

region, with one expert saying 

the cut was made to make it 

easier to privatise the electricity 

industry. 

The original government’s 

Solar Bonus Scheme ended on 

midnight October 27, cutting 

the tariff rate from 60 cents per 

kilowatt hour to 20 cents, leaving 

many customers and solarenergy 

suppliers confused. 

The director of north coast 

renewable energy company 

Nickel Energy, Nick Lake, said 

the extent of the cut was ‘overreactionary’, 

taking the tariff 

rate from one of the best in the 

country to one the worst’. 

Mr Lake said it had created 

uncertainty about the govern-

We met with the Ocean Shores Community Association and the Brunswick 

Valley Sports Association. We held community open days and tree planting days 

on site and further took over 160 people on site tours. 

June 2007 - A public meeting was held at Byron Shire Council to discuss a 

range of issues. We also met further with neighbouring land owners. 

August 2007 - We lodged a DA for a trial event.

“Byron Council Mayor Greens Cr Jan Barham has been a strong supporter of 

Splendour in the past while it was staged in Byron Bay and she has indicated 

support for the trial proposal. This has brought her into strong contention 

with the local green groups and the Byron Ballina Greens. Late last year the 

Greens voted to advise Greens Councillors that the branch was opposed to the 

development”. The Saturday Star, February 2008 

31 July 2008 - Approval was granted to host a trial event. Over ten government 

agencies were consulted by Council with none objecting to our application.

ment’s policy and stance with 

some some customers reconsidering 

the purchase of solar 

panels. 

Northern Rivers solar energy 

consultant Gordon Fraser-Quick 

said he believed the 

NSW Government reduced 

the tariff rate in order to make 

it easier for it to privatise the 

electricity industry. 

Mr Fraser-Quick said that 

currently, Country Energy sells 

electricity to customers for 24 

cents per kilowatt hour and 

till October 27, was paying 60 

cents for solar-generated electricity. 

‘The NSW government 

can’t sell Country Energy if it 

has the millstone of a 60 cent 

solar rebate around its neck, 

the government has been lying 

to the population saying 

the bulk of electricity cost 

rises are caused by solar systems 

being installed by mid- 

dle income earners,’ he said. 

Mr Fraser-Quick said 

about eight per cent of electricity 

cost rises can be attributed 

to renewable energy, but 

that 92 per cent of cost rises 

are coming from mandatory 

upgrades which are needed 

to improve electricity infrastructure 

such as transmission 

lines and poles. 

‘All that essential equipment 

has not received investment 

in the last 40 years, 

the owners and distributors 

have now realised the errors 

of their ways of not investing 

profits back into the system. 

Now they are blaming it on 

the easy target of solar. 

‘If as a nation we want to get 

rid of coal-generated energy, 

the only way we can do this is 

by establishing a partnership 

between the government and 

citizens, and the solar credit 

system was helping do this.’ 

July 2010 - The NSW Department of Planning designated North Byron Parklands 

as a major project because of the number of jobs it is projected to create. 

October 2010 - An application was submitted to the Department of Planning 

and the documentation went on public exhibition.

Byron Shire Council is looking 

at the possibility of lodging a 

DA with the view to creating 

a refuge/camping area for the 

homeless in Mullumbimby. 

At a recent council meeting, 

councillors discussed the merits 

of allocating a piece of land 

known as the ‘Island Paddock’ 

as an area for the campsite. 

The proposed area would 

provide basic needs such as 

Rainbow Ride cycle challenge 

Victoria Cosford 

Four hundred cyclists will 

take to the hills on Sunday 

November 14, heading north 

to Currumbin. 

Named after the region it 

traverses, this will be the 5th 

annual Rainbow Ride. 

The object, say organisers, is 

to provide fun, memorable and 

challenging events which highlight 

the joys of cycling and 

enhance the health, well-being 

and awareness of participants. 

According to Managing Director 

Anthony Mortimore, 

approximately 50 participants 

are from the Byron/Ballina 

area. Starting at the Byron 

lighthouse at 8 am, cyclists 

will travel the 160 kilometers 

to Currumbin via Myocum, 

Billinudgel, the Tweed Valley 

a compost toilet and a water 

supply where homeless people 

could sleep rough without being 

harassed and still be close 

to amenities such as social 

services, public transport and 

shops. 

The area which is north of 

the Mill and Station streets 

corner is about six hectares on 

an oxbow (disconnected loop 

in the river course) on the 

Brunswick River. 

Cr Patrick Morrisey says that 

and Mount Tomewin. An additional 

150 cyclists will leave 

from Mooball to take up the 

course. 

Organisers say it’s not a 

race, and is a sports cycle challenger 

event open to anyone 

with a bike. There is a category 

for each age group, with 

up to $10,000 in prizes and 

giveaways to be handed out 

at the finish. This year’s supported 

charity is BEAP (Byron 

Emergency Accommodation 

Project) and the Gecko, 

a non-profit Gold Coast and 

hinterland environmental organisation. 

Anthony Mortimore told 

The Echo that the event was 

‘small but growing. There were 

90 riders the first year – 5 years 

ago – then 440 last year, and 

550 this year.’ 

Mullum homeless refuge in discussions 

there is an urgent need for a 

well located primitive camping 

ground. 

‘The needs of the homeless 

residents in the Byron Shire are 

well known,’ he said. ‘Council 

has attempted at various times 

to establish a camping site 

without success. 

‘It is important that we 

pursue this. There are others 

involved with social services 

who are willing to help us with 

this.’ 

Dangerously Poetic’s Big Splash 

On Friday November 12 Dangerously 

Poetic will present 

The Big Splash, a dynamic 

cabaret of poetry and music at 

the Ewingsdale Hall in Byron. 

On the bill is internationally 

acclaimed singer-songwriter 

Kristina Olsen, who will be 

playing a half hour set before 

the interval. With 11 CDs of 

original music, Kristina’s powerful 

songs range from sassy 

bottleneck-blues to lilting ballads, 

swing jazz and raunch 

and roll. 

Also eight vocal ensemble 

The Jazz Drops will perform. 

The group includes the prodigious 

talents of 10CC’s Rick 

Fenn. 

Poetry will be recited by 

awarding winning local poets, 

Max Ryan, Kathryn Riding, 

Laura Jan Shore, Amica Sanday 

and The Mullumbimby bush 

poet Ray Essery. 

The performance’s theme 

of water is a benefit for Wellwishers 

Inc, an organisation 

run by Ross and Marianne 

Allan of Myocum, funding 

wells for needy communities 

in Ethiopia. 

All proceeds from this event

Comment 

Volume 25 #23 November 9, 2010 

Festival’s pros and cons 

With just ten days to go before submissions to the Department 

of Planning close, the debate over whether music festivals should 

be permitted on a site on Jones Road, Yelgun, is reaching a pitch 

of intensity not seen since the days of the Club Med battle. 

The pros and cons of the project have been well rehearsed in 

this newspaper and elsewhere, so most people have probably 

decided where they stand. The amenity of nearby residents 

is important, but so too is recreation and the provision of 

employment. 

However, the one unarguable objection to the plan is the 

impact of numerous large and noisy gatherings on the wildlife of 

the site and the adjacent reserve. Jones Road is also the northern 

boundary of the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, which is the area’s 

last wildlife corridor connecting to the coast. It is so important to 

the preservation of biodiversity in the shire that Council has been 

prepared to court unpopularity by refusing to develop a sports 

ground there. Public sport facilities are more useful to the community 

than private festival sites, so it follows from the principled 

decision not to use the land at Shara Boulevarde for playing fields 

that music festivals are equally inappropriate. 

The issue is a defining one: we have dominion over the animals 

– are we custodians or destroyers? Do we opt for entertainment 

and employment at the expense of the critters, or do we take our 

ecological responsibility seriously? 

This being Byron Shire, the number of people who simply don’t 

give a damn is probably quite small. Even festival proponents 

probably agonise over the decision or tell themselves that the environmental 

concerns are overstated. However, this would not be 

the case in neighbouring Tweed Shire. Local government there is 

run for developers (many say by developers) who unashamedly 

give cash donations to councillors they approve of. 

The North Byron Parklands company, which hopes to hold 

Splendour in the Grass and many other large events on the site, 

apparently feels that Byron Shire is not supportive enough, for 

it is seeking a meeting with Tweed Shire Council to present the 

benefits that will flow northwards from its activities. The Tweed 

mayor and the Tweed tourism chief have already expressed their 

enthusiasm, with the mayor implying that his Council may make 

a formal submission in favour of the proposal. 

Queensland developers have long been frustrated by the zonings 

in northern NSW that have partially blocked the downward 

march of the Gold Coast. In what may be a coincidence Tweed 

councillors have invited the Wooyung Property Group to discuss 

their plans for a controversial 80 hectare residential development 

proposal near the festival site. It could be said that the Byron 

touchy-feely festival concept makes a good stalking horse behind 

which others can nurture Tweed development aspirations along 

the coast. 

Of course North Byron Parklands is not interested in anything 

other than festivals, but teaming up with Tweed Shire Council is 

not a good look. If the company really wants to go for broke in its 

campaign, the statistically probable way of gaining Planning Department 

approval is to make a substantial donation to the NSW 

Labor Party. But there is no reason to doubt that North Byron 

Parklands would prefer to let its case stand on its merits.

Will the real bastards please stand up? 

Many years ago I 

interviewed the 

newly elected New 

South Wales premier Neville 

Wran about his ambitions 

for his state. 

Disappointingly, they appeared 

pretty unexciting: more 

cafés, more outdoor eating 

spots, more inner city nightlife. 

So if this was really the limit, 

I asked, why had he given up 

a stellar legal career for the 

thankless drudgery of state 

politics? Nifty did not miss a 

beat. ‘To keep the other bastards 

out,’ he rasped, and, when 

you looked at the other bastards 

– left-over henchmen 

from the appalling regime of 

Robin Askin – this seemed a 

pretty laudable aim. 

One could argue that Tony 

Abbott’s guiding credo is not 

all that different, although his 

negativity in opposition probably 

has less justification. But 

then comes the more pertinent 

question: just who are the bastards 

he is seeking to replace, 

and what, if anything, do they 

represent? 

The question has to be pertinent, 

because the bastards 

themselves are asking it, and in 

increasingly shrill and desperate 

tones. Over the last few days 

the ALP and its supporters and 

critics have been engaged in a 

positive orgy of navel gazing, 

without, it must be admitted, 

finding much except fluff. 

It started with Greg Combet’s 

launch of the book All 

That’s Left, a collection of essays 

edited by Tim Soutphommasane 

and Nick Dyrenfurth, 

seeking to identify a sense of 

purpose and direction for the 

party. Combet, a leading figure 

of the left and a senior cabinet 

minister widely seen as a prime 

ministerial aspirant, was unable 

to go beyond cliché: Labor 

needed to reaffirm its guiding 

values of equity, social justice 

and compassion. 

Some, like the Sydney Morning 

Herald’s Peter Hartcher, 

saw in this an implied rejection 

of the right wing power brokers 

who installed Julia Gillard 

as leader, and in particular the 

trolls of Sussex Street and their 

chief nibelung Mark Arbib, 

now improbably waving the 

banner of gay marriage. But 

other commentators blamed 

Gillard more directly. 

In The Australian (where 

else?) Ross Fitzgerald said 

Over the last few days the ALP 

and its supporters and critics 

have been engaged in a positive 

orgy of navel gazing 

by Mungo MacCallum 

bluntly that she lacked the political 

courage to attempt any 

big reform. 

Peter van Onselen described 

the challenges facing her as 

colossal but not impossible, 

and pointed to a lack of ideological 

direction and concerns 

over what the party stands for. 

Paul Kelly, as always the most 

pompous, saw her besieged by 

policy challenges that demand 

far-reaching and convincing 

responses that so far seem beyond 

Labor’s political character. 

Surprisingly, he refrained 

from setting her a series of 

tests. 

The AWU national secretary 

Paul Howes said the challenge 

was to effect change to make 

society more equal, prosperous 

and progressive and to involve 

the electorate in the changes – 

but added that Gillard seemed 

unwilling to provide real leadership 

on climate change and 

refugees. Mark Latham, in an 

only marginally rabid essay in 

The Monthly, also suggested 

climate change as one issue on 

FIRST EDITION 

ONLINE NOW! 

which Labor could and should 

crusade but concluded that the 

difficulties were too formidable; 

the unions in particular 

would be too much baggage. 

And the same applied to his 

other ideas, that Labor should 

become the party of social capital, 

rebuilding a sense of community, 

and that Labor should 

take on the existing power establishment 

– which of course 

includes the unions. Boof ’s 

conclusion was that the future 

actually lay not with Labor but 

with the Greens – a conclusion 

with which Bob Brown naturally 

agreed, although he might 

have had his doubts about its 

source. 

And so the list went on, with 

the pontificators lining up to 

give their views on the dire 

plight of Labor and the need to 

relocate its heart and soul – but 

not one making a solid suggestion 

for a positive move Labor 

can make in government. 

Because this is the real point: 

Labor is in power, still, in every 

parliament in Australia except 

one. 

This situation is unlikely to 

endure for very long, but the 

time for frenzied introspection 

is after losing, not before. Government 

is a time for action, 

and if a defeat appears to be 

looming, this makes the need 

to get things done in the days 

remaining all the more crucial. 

And in Gillard’s case, the stricture 

does not apply: her minority 

government may appear 

tenuous, but there is no reason 

to suppose it will collapse in 

the foreseeable future. 

She and her colleagues 

should not get caught up in 

post mortems about the campaign 

of 2010; leave that to the 

historians and the academics, 

and, if the party must involve 

itself, to the backroom apparatchiks; 

that, after all, is what 

they are paid for. 

She is there to govern and 

must be seen to be doing so, to 

be – how should one put it? – 

moving forward. 

And the unexpected reemergence 

of the banks as a 

major public issue provides a 

perfect opportunity to do so. 

Gillard and Swan lost the early 

initiative to the opposition but 

there is ample opportunity to 

regain it. 

Their proposed legislation to 

lower exit fees should be seen 

as just a start, as should Joe 

Hockey’s bill to bring in the 

ACCC and Nick Xenophon’s 

limited exercise in the senate. 

Swan should establish a 

root-and-branch enquiry into 

the industry with the aim of 

increasing competition and 

eliminating anti-social charges 

and practices and he should 

do it before Christmas. There 

will be no lack of public support. 

Some 80 years ago Pete 

Seeger sang: 

I saw the weary farmer, 

ploughing his sod and loam; 

I heard the auction hammer, 

just knocking down his home. 

But the banks are made of 

marble, with a guard on every 

door 

And the vaults are stuffed 

with silver that the farmers 

sweated for. 

Attitudes haven’t changed 

that much; just about everyone 

still hates the banks, and 

of course they have always had 

a special place in the demonology 

of Labor and the left. It’s 

time to take the lead and get 

stuck into the real bastards.

The good old hospital days are gone 

I read Mandy Nolan’s column 

regularly, and enjoy it. (The 

Big Prawn lighthouse is my 

favourite!) So I was interested 

to read her comments on the 

intended new Byron Shire 

hospital at Ewingsdale (Echo, 

November 2). 

I, too, remember those good 

old days when country hospitals 

were part of local life. I can 

totally relate to what Mandy 

says: I was born in the Bangalow 

hospital (it stood where the 

local community health centre 

now stands), had my appendix 

out there when I was ten, 

sang carols to the patients each 

Christmas with the local youth 

group, and was at my grandmother’s 

side when she died 

there on New Year’s Day, 1980. 

Chasing rabbits 

Cr Tabart and his ally Fast 

Buck$ appear determined 

to have councillors jumping 

down rabbit holes in pursuit 

of non-existent rabbits. The 

claims made by Cr Tabart regarding 

damage to a Council 

sewer pipe canvassed at recent 

meetings and in the media are 

not soundly based. A reasonable 

reading of the copious 

documentation on this subject 

does not support Cr Tabart’s 

claim and no amount of refusing 

to acknowledge the results 

of investigations already undertaken 

will change that. 

It’s a bit rich for Cr Tabart 

to say councillors who do not 

agree with him ‘show little 

grasp of the issues’ when he 

himself can not report accurately 

on the meeting outcomes. 

Councillor, if you are 

going to negatively invoke my 

name in spruiking your arguments, 

please get it right. 

Firstly, as the minutes show, 

the vote to waive the debt was 

successful 7 votes to 1, not lost 

on the casting vote of the Mayor 

as you claim. Secondly, it 

was your motion for an investigation 

that was lost on the casting 

vote of the Mayor. Thirdly, 

Unfortunately, times have 

changed. The community is 

much larger, and medical care 

has become more sophisticated. 

Our small local hospital is 

feeling the strain. 

My experiences in recent 

times support this: when I 

was bitten by a dog last year, 

the doctor on call had to ring 

Tweed Heads Hospital to ask 

for advice; and when a family 

member was taken to the 

emergency department on a 

Friday night, we had to squeeze 

in beside loud, drunk Scottish 

boys with gaping head wounds 

(‘Och, wee Jock fell against the 

bar!!’). Sorry, but our local hospital 

isn’t very ‘local-friendly’ 

anymore. 

I do agree that we need 

I voted for your motion, not 

against. 

The reason I voted for your 

motion was not because I 

agreed with your convoluted 

position, but as I stated in debate, 

an investigation was possibly 

the only way to provide 

clarity on the subject following 

your continued muddying of 

the waters.

The next mayor 

Usually at Council meetings 

I just attend the public access 

section and go home without 

observing debate. As from the 

last meeting, however, I’ve resolved 

to endure the pain and 

boredom in order to make recommendations 

as to an impor- 

something close to the centre 

of town; the changing nature 

of Byron Bay has seen to that. 

One possibility would be to 

set up a ‘patch ’em up, pump 

their stomachs and send ’em 

back to the pub’ facility in the 

existing community health 

centre which would operate at 

peak times (weekends, Schoolies 

week, Christmas and New 

Year). It could be staffed by 

the (usually non-local) brightyoung-things-just-out-of-uni 

who seem to be running our 

local doctors’ surgeries these 

days. 

The proposed hospital at 

Ewingsdale could then be a 

designated facility for people 

who are actually ill. It would be 

staffed by more senior doctors 

tant question: who will be our 

next mayor? 

Jan Barham has said that she 

would continue to be mayor 

even if she was elected to the 

Upper House, but my information 

is that she would only stay 

on from next March (when 

the state election is due) till 

the next Council elections ten 

months later, ie August 2012. 

So who’s next in line? 

As far as I’m concerned you 

might as well toss a coin; the 

current line-up features specific 

talents, abilities and inevitable 

good intentions, but not 

one has shown what I regard as 

indispensable leadership qualities. 

Not one of them has the 

nous or intuition to sense what 

the conservatives and the permanent 

staff are up to, much 

less to devise ways to counter 

their scheming. 

The only councillor to even 

try to take on the staff is Tom 

Tabart, who is not likely to be a 

contender for mayor; his efforts 

are constantly undermined by 

his allies, particularly Richard 

Staples, the appeaser who prefers 

to ‘move on’ rather than get 

to the bottom of things. 

Richard, you’re a storehouse 

of knowledge, you’ve got a

able to make decisions about 

treatment. It would hopefully 

have the equipment and facilities 

needed by a growing area 

such as ours. Who knows, at 

some stage maybe women will 

even be able to give birth reasonably 

close to home. 

Most importantly, though, 

as we’ve found when family 

members have been sent on to 

Lismore or Tweed (or Sydney), 

staff in larger hospitals are just 

as caring and compassionate 

as those in small centres. 

I’m sure the staff at Ewingsdale 

will offer this same care 

and compassion ... although 

you probably will miss out on

your use-by date, pal. Accordingly 

might I ask you to prevail 

on Jan Barham to quit immediately 

if she gets elected to the

that you quit alongside her? 

That would cause a by-election, 

which means we could elect a

If revolution is the festival of the oppressed (Greer), 

For many years I have tended 

sick and injured widlife of the 

Northern Rivers. Given the 

potential impact of the North 

Byron Parklands on this probono 

workload, I have taken a 

close interest in the proposal. 

I am convinced the indigenous 

animal community has 

more to gain from the proposed 

funding of conservation 

activities by NBP, than letting 

it revert to traditional farming 

practices. The conservation 

zones and philanthropic 

dispersals will benefit not only 

wildlife living on site, but also 

those further afield. 

It’s a shame vocal NIMBYism 

is drowning out the interests 

of a speechless wildlife 

community, completely overlooked 

by any alternative agricultural 

activity. 

Dr Matt Allworth, BSc (Vet) 

BVSc Hons 


If the state government approves 

mega festivals, it is 

approving extensive car (and 

plane) movements in the midst 

of an environmental crisis. Festivals 

could be encouraged to 

be local and preferably linked 

to sustainable community 

work such as harvest festivals. 

Mega festivals encourage 

wealth gaps in that excessively 

paid long distance performers 

are brought in to perform while 

budding local musicians are 

often unable to make a living 

as a musician. Mega festivals 

are the same sort of wealthgapping 

inequality which exists 

in the sports world where 

vast audiences of disempowered 

people enviously watch a 

smaller group have a life. 

The encouragement of more 

smaller festivals would provide 

more venues and practice for 

local musicians. Sure, the absence 

of mega festivals removes 

the chance to see and hear live, 

the word’s best in one’s country, 

but the encouragement of local 

talent would be more likely to 

create a local, cultural flavour 

of music that will be different 

to the ‘world’s best’. 

Localised expression is the 

way of the 21st century rather 

than global or long distance 

movement of people and 

products. Mega festivals are an 

anachronism in terms of global 

concern for the environment. 

One of the mores for the 21st 

century is think global, act local, 

not think global, act global!

Nice aerial photo in Parkland’s 

ad last week, wasn’t it? 

Lovely flat green paddocks, 

patches of trees, sun shining – 

just the spot to set up your tent 

for a few days while attending 

a festival. 

Note the large drains, 

though. These are to drain off 

the floodwaters that inundate 

the site several times a year on 

average by up to 0.5m, and by 

up to 1.5m in a big flood. 

While big floods are usually 

preceded by days of rain that 

would have washed out the 

whole site already, the smaller 

more frequent floods can happen 

quickly with no warning. 

Not to worry though, Parklands 

have it all worked out. 

Their ‘Flood Evacuation Assessment’ 

says that ‘during 

these events, it will not be possible 

to evacuate patrons and 

their property from the site’, 

so ‘it is recommended that patrons 

are directed to flood free 

land within the site and no-one 

is permitted to return to their 

vehicles until flooding has subsided’. 

(p 2196) 

Some lucky patrons might 

make it to the proposed conference 

centre on the hill, but 

most will be directed to ‘the 

raised land around Jones Road’ 

which does not provide shelter 

from the rain; however it is 

more easily accessed by emergency 

services’. (p. 2196). 

It is not explained what happens 

next – since even small 

floods can take days to drain 

from the flat floodplain areas 

that are the carparks and 

camping and event areas, patrons 

will presumably be evac-

uated to the nearest evacuation 

centre ‘at the Ocean Shores 

Country Club’! (p 2193) 

It is also not explained who 

would organise this evacuation 

– there are passing references 

to the SES, who I suppose 

would have nothing else 

to do during a flood – or how 

the patrons would get to Ocean 

Shores, perhaps they are expected 

to walk there. 

I assume though that the 

Country Club know all about 

this, and will be prepared to 

deal with several thousand, or 

tens of thousands, of wet, cold, 

angry festival patrons for several 

days. 

In the real world no-one 

would consider such land suitable 

for the proposed events

apparently inhabit a 

different planet, where their 

profit counts for more than the 

wellbeing and safety of their 

patrons. 

Matthew Lambourne 

Mullumbimby 

We find it very hard to understand 

the opposition to the 

North Byron Parklands proposal, 

which seems to come 

from a small minority of peo- 

ple in the northern part of the 

shire. We are alarmed by the 

fierceness of the opposition. 

The site as most would know 

is a disused cattle farm. 

The people of Byron Shire 

have enjoyed the sun, surf, music, 

the arts and in more recent 

times the two iconic festivals 

– Splendour in the Grass and 

the Blues Festival. 

The opposition appears to 

be from people who enjoy all 

the wonderful indulgences of 

the Byron Shire. However it appears 

that once we get over fifty 

we all become more conservative. 

There is the fear that ‘How 

dare those young people enjoy 

the music and the Byron Shire 

like I did’. 

We ourselves have to fight 

against conservatism. It appears 

to be a natural thing 

as one grows older. But why 

should we deny our youth the 

good times and the memories 

that we all value? 

Splendour in the Grass is a 

world class festival, with world 

class acts and a world class 

business and environmental 

philosophy. The festival provides 

tourism business in the 

quietest time of the year. This 

year it was sorely missed in 

the villages of Mullumbimby, 

Brunswick Heads, Byron Bay 

and Bangalow. It is vital to the 

financial viability of this Shire, 

for businesses and for young 

people earning money let alone 

the community groups and 

P&Cs that rely on Splendour 

for fundraising. We, like hundreds

It’s such a pity that Splendour

make them part of our identity, 

because they are. Just as much

RE North Byron Parklands’ 

statements (Echo, November 

2, ‘Addressing the Myths’): 

Petitions with hundreds of 

signatures do not constitute 

informed opinion about Byron 

Council’s Events Policy or 

NBSP’s proposal for a permanent 

party venue. It’s easy to 

get people to sign a petition, 

especially when they’re socialising 

at a pub or they’re in from 

out of town at a festival. 

It’s much harder to get them 

to sit down and read the 2,205 

pages of the proposal that is 

now on public exhibition. 

Those who have read it are 

indeed addressing the myths. 

They can tell you that the goal 

is not 35,000 in daily attendance; 

it’s at least 53,000. The 

claim of bringing in hundreds 

of millions of dollars is highly 

questionable, given the tenucontinued

then what is opposing mega festivals? 

ous assumptions of the Economic 

Impact Assessment. 

The plans to handle the traffic, 

crowds, noise, threats to the 

environment, and other serious 

issues are woefully inadequate. 

The opinions that count

so. You’re in for some very unpleasant 

surprises.

What Neil Johnson and 

Michael Balson (Letters, November 

2) do not seem to understand 

in this debate about 

Splendour/North Byron Parklands 

planned festival site is 

that it is not about not liking 

Splendour nor about being 

negative towards youth. It is 

about too often (festivals), too 

many (numbers) and lastly it 

is about being too close (to the 

Nature Reserve and Wildlife 

Corridor). 

It is not about being anti 

tourism either. Far from it. It 

is about keeping at least Bruns 

and the north of the shire as 

a family tourist place and not 

surrendering the whole shire 

to the 24/7 party crowd. That 

is also economic sense. 

We ask you both this question. 

If you gave your teenage 

children permission to have one 

big party in your house this year 

and they then turned around 

and demanded eight, would 

you think that reasonable?

late report on the Annual Financial 

Statement was not late 

due to staff efforts. 

The Annual Financial Statement

before being submitted to

allowing public exhibition of 

the audited annual accounts 

by a particular date is a statutory 

requirement and management 

moved to do this upon

Re North Byron Parklands, 

‘Dispelling the Myths’. Mat 

Morris, aka ‘DJ Dr Spin’, seems 

to find it difficult in comprehending 

facts, so let’s start by 

‘dispelling his myths’. 

He refers to the ‘neighbours’ 

positive response’ to the Splen- 

dour in the Grass festival pro- pro- 

posal in 2006. Of the five residences 

on Jones Road all have 

said that they do not support 

the proposal. Only two, however, 

have been approached by 

Parklands/Splendour. 

You also state that NBP consulted 

with CONOS prior to 

the purchase of the land. No 

official meeting was held, however, 

at your request there was 

a casual discussion with four 

CONOS members. As your 

representatives could not provide 

any plans, maps or concrete 

information and only a 

vague ‘vision’ of what could 

be, it was impossible for us to 

reach any conclusion, positive 

or otherwise. It did, however, 

set alarm bells ringing. 

Furthermore we ask, ‘Why 

would anyone purchase land 

based on a perceived “positive 

response” from Council or 

community members?’ 

Our understanding is that 

a planner’s role is to advise 

the developer as to the suitability 

of the land in regards 

to the proposed development. 

In this case, the planner was 

fully aware of the constraints 

pertaining to the site as he was 

involved in Council’s rezoning 

process that resulted in the 

Cleland Inquiry. 

Financial Statements were 

unqualified. 

Every endeavour is made not 

to submit late reports to Council; 

the exception being, when 

matters are beyond our control 

and require Council resolution 

prior to a specific date.

Many species, such as fruitdoves

The noise and pollution 

from multiple generators,

solar subsidy. The Th e sub- subsidy 

looked like a bribe, being 

for rooftop solar, which is way 

less efficient than large-scale 

solar. 

No surprise it’s blown out 

massively in costs. Now, it can 

able be used as an argument 

against doing anything about 

greenhouse emissions at all. The 

sheer scale of the blowout – $2b 

is being reported – on top of the 

already inefficient use of funds 

will of course be passed on to 

the public, but it will also make 

it less likely genuine investment 

(as proposed by the WWF) will 

take place. 

Why would we spend 7-10 

times more money for an imported 

Chinese product when 

we could be building a genuine 

locally manufactured clean energy 

infrastructure?

is your fault, if you happen to 

If you’re a working 

parent expecting a 

child after January 1st, 

there’s something else 

you can expect 

From 1 January 2011, Australia’s fi rst national 

Paid Parental Leave scheme will start. 

It’s a new entitlement for working parents, 

funded by the Australian Government. 

Taking time away from work for a new 

baby is a common part of working life. 

Paid Parental Leave will help parents 

spend time with a new baby, and 

help employers retain skilled staff. 

What is Paid Parental Leave? 

Eligible working parents of children 

born or adopted on or after 1 January 

2011 may get 18 weeks Governmentfunded 

pay at the National Minimum 

Wage, currently $570 a week before 

tax, to help them care for a new baby. 

Am I eligible? 

Full-time, part-time, casual, seasonal, 

contract and self-employed workers 

may be eligible. You must have worked 

at least 330 hours (just over one day a 

week) for 10 of the 13 months before 

your new baby arrives. You can have 

up to an 8 week unpaid break between 

two working days and still be eligible.

You can earn up to $150,000 a year 

(individual salary) and still be eligible. 

Is it for both parents? 

Yes, usually the mother must apply 

for Paid Parental Leave. If you are 

eligible, you can transfer some 

or all of the pay to your partner 

(they need to be eligible too). The 

scheme gives families more options 

to balance work and family. 

When can I take it? 

You can claim up to three months in 

advance, and your pay can start at any 

time you choose from when your child 

is born or adopted. It will be paid in 

one continuous period from the start 

date and must all be taken within the 

fi rst year after the birth or adoption. 

You are encouraged to apply early.

Big Dog reality 

In response to B Mollet’s letter

that even if James Packer would

I also don’t think that the

Aboriginal heritage 

Good on Ian Cohen for standing 

up for Aboriginal heritage 

protection. I’ve just returned 

from Broome where Yawuru 

people have recently regained 

significant control over large 

slabs of their town, and are embarking 

on a long term strategy 

to decolonise it by educating 

white people in Yawuru Law 

and language. 

All over Australia our people 

are fighting hard to keep language, 

ceremony and values 

alive for the ultimate benefit 

of all Australians, who could 

sorely use a sustainable philosophy 

of life to take into the 

next few millennia. Recognising 

that Aboriginal heritage is 

precious, and at risk from many 

kinds of development, is a good 

underpinning. Good on you 

Ian! (Words of reconciliation 

are cheap, actions are what we 

need.)

No Fixed Address 

Footpath please 

How naive I am. When I moved 

to Ocean Shores ten years ago 

I assumed that the local council 

would naturally get around 

to building footpaths along 

the main roads. It seemed so 

obvious that I didn’t think to 

ask. Ten years and a few halfhearted 

attempts at a walkway 

later, I think it is time to demand 

a footpath all the way to 

the beach.

What can be said 

Mungo MacCallum’s commentary 

on the Afghan war 

debate (Echo, October 26) effectively 

illustrates the scope of 

permissible discourse in relation 

to our military industrial 

servitude. 

The existence of Al Qa’ida 

is axiomatic, the indisputable 

foundation of the terror war 

paradigm. The former UK Foreign 

Secretary, Robin Cook, 

divulged the true meaning of 

Al Qa’ida in The Guardian, 

shortly before his untimely 

death in 2005. Cook said it was 

a database, a list of mujahedin 

fighters compiled by western 

intelligence. 

This group of warriors has 

acted as a proxy force for western 

powers in many conflicts, 

dating back to 1979, when the 

Soviets invaded Afghanistan. 

This is, of course, relevant to 

the current and ongoing terror 

war crusade we’re engaged in, 

but it is way outside the scope 

of permissible discourse in the 

mainstream media, as is any 

discussion about the seminal 

events of September 11, 2001.

Post Woolworths Maleny: 

fast-forward Mullumbimby 

Sonia Borenstein 

How will Woolworths opening 

in April 2011 impact on Mullumbimby? 

Deborah Lilly, spokesperson 

for Mullumbimby Community 

Action Network (MCAN), 

fears local shops will go under. 

‘We need to cherish our 

small businesses that are the 

backbone of our communities,’ 

said Lilly. ‘Otherwise, we could 

become ghost towns or at best 

clone towns, generic and without 

character.’ 

On the other hand, John Waterhouse, 

who is in partnership 

with the Mallam family and 

sold Mallams supermarket to 

Woolworths, says that the retailer 

will put Mullumbimby 

on the map. 

‘I get really get sick and tired 

of hearing some shops might 

do poorly. What about the other 

shops that will get busier? 

Different shops will open in 

town. People who say Woolies 

coming in will decimate the 

town and turn it into a ghost 

town are using scare tactics.’ 

There’s no doubt that post 

Woolworths Mullumbimby 

will change, but whether it 

will turn into a ghost town, 

clone town or boom town, or 

something in between no-one 

knows. However, one way that 

might come close to finding 

out would be to assess Woolworths’ 

impact on Maleny – a 

town very similar to Mullumbimby. 

Similar histories 

Coincidentally, Maleny postcode 

4552, a hinterland town 

on the Sunshine coast of south 

east Queensland, has a population 

of approximately 7,000 

– the same as Mullumbimby. 

The Bureau of Statistics rated 

both towns ‘fastest population 

growth areas’ between June 

2008 and June 2009, and the 

towns have a similar history 

and demographic. 

Kristine Curnow wrote in 

her 2006 thesis ‘Woolworths 

And Maleny – Ecological 

Rights Vs Monetary Might’ 

that the people of Maleny ‘ignore 

Woolworths even though 

it squats like a large white toad 

Barrister Tim Robertson, shaded from the sun by a pro-Woolies protester, at the onsite Land & 

Environment Court hearing in Mullumbimby. Photo Louise Beaumont www.louisebeaumont.com 

in their pretty township.’ 

Like Mullumbimby, Maleny 

anti-Woolworths protesters 

lost the battle after a long, 

hard-fought campaign. Retired 

journalist Graham Earle was 

arrested in 2004 for allegedly 

obstructing police while photographing 

protesters climbing 

trees as the ‘Deen Brothers’ 

smashed them down. 

‘Gutted’ 

When Woolworths opened 

Earle felt gutted, disappointed, 

angry and badly let down by 

the state government, Caloundra 

Council and the justice system. 

However, four years after 

the event Earle was thankful 

that the small businesses had 

not suffered as badly as feared. 

‘The Woolworths fight left a 

very bad taste for most Maleny 

people. Consequently a lot of 

people refuse to shop in Woolworths, 

even four years later. 

‘A lot of residents continued 

to support the local IGA, local 

butchers, bakers, the fruit 

and vegetable shop, a bi-weekly 

local growers’ market and the 

Maleny Co-op. Many new residents 

realised that Woolworths 

was “on the nose”.’ 

Earle also commented on 

the increased noise, dangerous 

traffic around the local primary 

school, the lack of platypus 

sightings on the creek, and the 

ugliness of the ‘concrete box’. 

On the positive side he cited 

increased employment, extra 

parking, and the way the saga 

brought many people of diverse 

backgrounds together. 

Local IGA supermarket 

owner Rob Outtridge said his 

business has held up very well, 

but ‘Woolworths has taken the 

fun out of retail. There’s no 

cream at the top.’ 

Local product 

Outtridge has not lost any 

staff, and credits his success to 

local support and the fact that 

one out of ten products he sells 

is locally produced. 

Butcher Phil Clark, owner 

of ‘Top of the large discount 

meats’, said Woolworths had 

impacted badly on his business. 

‘I’ve lost 15 per cent of my 

profits and sacked two workers. 

But I’m still keeping my 

head above water.’ 

For Denise Howard, newsagency 

owner, business is 

booming but ‘magazine sales 

are down’. Howard confirmed 

Waterhouse’s prediction that 

Woolies would bring more 

people into town. 

‘Woolworths has brought 

extra customers into Maleny. 

People come from across the 

range to shop here,’ she said. 

Garry Claridge, co-founder 

of the Maleny Voice, said 

a survey conducted by anti- 

Woolworths activists revealed 

that 70 per cent of the population 

didn’t want Woolworths. 

‘For the first 18 months the 

town boycotted Woolworths, 

but our population exploded 

and the newcomers, mostly retirees, 

were used to shopping 

in Woolworths,’ said Claridge, 

crediting Woolworths’ success 

on an increase in population. 

Clone town? 

Apart from extra noise and 

traffic he said Maleny had 

‘changed into a generic suburb 

with a growing number of 

trinket stores that catered to 

the growing number of Brisbane 

day-trippers and tourists’. 

Could this be Lilly’s ‘clone’ 

town? 

If post Woolworths Mullumbimby 

mirrors Maleny then in 

2015 Mullumbimby might look 

like this: IGA will sell more 

local products and remain 

open; no businesses will close, 

but some may lose staff and/ 

or profits; locals will continue 

to buy fruit and vegies at the 

farmers’ market; more ‘touristy’ 

shops will open; population 

and employment will 

increase; a huge car park will 

service the increase in population; 

and traffic will increase 

near the roundabout in Station 

Street. 

More state government funding needed to fix roads 

NSW councils are continuing 

to call on the state government 

to provide adequate funding 

and remove rate pegging 

so they can fix our roads and 

streets. President of the Shires 

Association of NSW, Cr Bruce 

Miller, said the maths just 

doesn’t add up when available 

funding for councils does not 

match the huge infrastructure 

responsibility. 

‘Councils manage 85 per cent 

of the road network and nearly 

all footpaths in NSW. Government 

funding provides about 30 

per cent of what councils spend 

on roads each year,’ said Cr 

Miller. ‘Approximately 70 per 

cent is left to councils to source 

through rates. This is particularly 

hard, when you consider 

the fact that rates are pegged in 

NSW by the state government.’ 

NSW councils face an annual 

funding shortfall of $600m 

to address maintenance needs 

of local roads, according to re- 

search by the Institute of Public 

Works Engineering Australia. 

Across the nation, the Australian 

Local Government Association 

estimates the figure is 

as high as $1.2 billion per year. 

President of the Local Government 

Association of NSW, 

Cr Keith Rhoade, said, ‘Given 

the amount of work required, 

councils must apply a strict 

process of risk assessment and 

prioritisation which is managed 

by specialist engineers 

and asset management staff. 

We’re not in a position to be 

able to address every road 

maintenance issue instantly. 

‘If you spot a pothole or have 

a concern with a local road, 

we encourage you to let your 

council know as a first point 

of contact so we can fix it as 

soon as possible. Letting your 

local State MP know you’re unhappy 

with the lack of funding 

for councils to fix your street 

will also help the situation.’

Surviving the Anthropocene 

Story & photo Mary Gardner 

The old joke is that if you find 

the pace of modern life too 

fast, switch to geologic time. 

The years are counted in the 

millions. Trends take an epoch 

to come and go. Take the past 

ten to twelve thousand years, 

a post glacial epoch known as 

the Holocene. This title was 

suggested by Charles Lyell, 

British geologist, in 1833. Fifty 

two years later, the Geological 

Congress officially agreed. 

Taking this long view, what 

are your day to day problems? 

Against the slow steady pace 

and massive effect of glaciers, 

what is any of our human effort 

but puny and even vain? 

But since 2000, Paul Josef 

Crutzen, a Dutch Nobel Prize 

winning climatologist, blurted 

out what many people thought 

but felt was too dreadful to say. 

Crutzen said we are in a new 

epoch. By 2008, the Geological 

Society of London agreed that 

the possible existence of this 

new epoch should be investigated. 

Are we now in a time 

when the entire world feels, 

right to its geologic marrow, 

the impact of humans? Is this 

the Anthropocene? 

In 2010, Crutzen and three 

other authors, one of whom is 

Australia’s Will Steefen, explain 

this opinion. Although humans 

have changed the visible landscape 

over and over again, this 

alone might be a transient effect. 

Since Angkor Wat, megacities 

have come and gone. 

Startling examples 

But the way of the world is 

vastly more subtle. Consider 

three elegant, startling examples. 

First is the measure of the 

increase in atmospheric carbon 

dioxide. This record, now corroborated 

with findings from 

ancient Antarctic ice, is one of 

a trace element making up only 

0.03 per cent of air. Equally 

subtle is the slight change in 

the acidity of the ocean. A little 

more change can trigger great 

consequences. And finally, the 

rate of extinction of species has 

increased and the next great 

extinction wave seems to be already 

underway. In the planet’s 

six billion years, only five such 

decimations are known. 

The committees of geologic 

specialists will eventually decide 

if the start of the Anthropocene 

is indeed the 1800s, the 

era of Charles Lyell. They may 

use the exponential rise of the 

human population as one of 

the benchmarks, similar to the 

way they use the rise of trilobites 

520 million years ago to 

mark the Cambrian period. 

But the term Anthropocene 

is already in use because time 

and again specialists find it 

descriptive. Human impact 

is found at every level of the 

planet. Examples range from 

antibiotic resistant microbes 

Every migrating bird found dead on beaches may have suffered at the ‘hands of nature’. But they 

are also known to be suffering from human disturbance as well as destruction of habitat and 

food supply at the start of their journey or along the flyway. 

to global pollution spread by 

weather and currents. We used 

to think we couldn’t possibly 

affect everything but we are 

starting to see the fact is that 

we do. 

Now a good fact is hard to 

find. Especially when we consider 

that every fact is made 

of two parts: observation and 

theory. Every theory is held by 

an observer. Every observer is 

part of a social group, identified 

by norms, beliefs and behaviours. 

Types of facts 

There are different types 

of facts. There are historical 

ones. ‘The Nagoya Protocol 

and Aichi Targets were agreed 

upon by nearly 200 countries 

on 29 October 2010 in Japan 

at the UN Convention on Biodiversity.’ 

There are cumulative facts. 

‘Targets are set for 2020 including 

international conservation 

of 17 per cent of lands and 10 

per cent of oceans and coastal 

areas, up from 12.5 per cent 

land and less than one per cent 

oceans today.’ 

Statistical facts are popular 

but complicated: ‘The Nagoya 

Protocol calls for the calculation 

of natural capital and ecosystem 

services in the account 

books of businesses and governments. 

Industrialised use 

of these natural products and 

services will be assessed and 

money returned to both the 

sources and places of such use.’ 

People will argue all these 

facts from the Biodiversity 

Convention. After all, to truly 

accept new facts is a big step. 

This means acknowledging all 

the observations, theories and 

people involved. The new understanding 

will also demand 

new behaviours. 

But remember the other 

old joke? There are really only 

three simple facts of life: birth, 

death and taxes. Although they 

are facts of the highest quality, 

we struggle with accepting 

these. Like it or not, we are 

now facing a fourth basic fact. 

We, in the Anthropocene, are 

intertwined with the forces of 

nature. We’re surely not by any 

means the greatest or the most 

beneficial. 

If we let this one fact sink in, 

our reality alters. All our stories 

change. Every one we tell 

must allow for human impact. 

So every migrating bird 

found dead on beaches may 

have suffered at the ‘hands 

of nature’. But they are also 

known to be suffering from 

human disturbance as well as 

destruction of habitat and food 

supply at the start of their journey 

or along the flyway. 

What survives? 

Every haul we take of big fish 

makes survivors of the smaller 

ones. These breed more fish 

like themselves who can escape 

nets. These are adults who 

simply grow more slowly. Each 

year, we help make the ‘biggest 

fish’ a steadily smaller one. 

There are many more such 

stories to retell. Philosopher 

Thomas Berry calls these the 

‘primary scripture’ of the era 

he calls the Ecozoic. His term 

describes not what we do but 

what we learn. 

For each of us, there will be 

that one tale that finally drives 

home the fourth fact. As with 

birth, death and taxes, we will 

always have strong mixed feelings. 

We’ll argue without stop. 

But, as spelled out by this pivotal 

Biodiversity Convention 

2010, we see what we must start 

to do. 

Hunting seen as a spiritual pursuit 


The three years local author 

Stephanie Dale spent hunting 

constituted the most profoundly 

spiritual thing she 

had ever done. Her latest book 

Hymn For The Wounded Man 

recalls this period of her life 

and is about to be launched by 

new director of the Byron Bay 

Writers Festival Candida Baker. 

Despite being a work of fiction, 

it is based on Stephanie’s 

experiences of this particularly 

male pursuit from the perspective 

of a female vegetarian. 

‘It was the early 90s,’ she told 

The Echo. ‘I went to New Zealand 

for a year and stayed for 

three. I fell in love with a guy 

who was a hunter and I gatecrashed 

his world.’ The man in 

question did not want Stephanie 

along so she had to become 

‘his shadow in the bush. He’d 

never tell me anything and it 

was really frustrating – but one 

day I got lost and I knew what 

to do.’ 

Stephanie best describes the 

spiritual impact of her experience 

– not only hunting wild 

boar and deer with guns and 

knives but learning how to skin 

and gut them – as actually becoming 

‘the world around you. 

You’re running with the speed 

of the wind. Every cell in your 

body vibrates with the forest. 

This man lived by an unwritten 

code in the laws of man – he 

was the forest.’ 

Her book, to be launched 

on November 12, is the followup 

to her first, My Pilgrim’s 

Heart: A Woman’s Journey 

Through Marriage and Other 

Foreign Lands, which was 

launched a year ago, selling out 

its first print run in a few short 

weeks. This latest one is ‘a celebration 

of courage, of getting 

off the couch!’ she said. ‘I want 

to share that notion of courage.’ 

Everyone is welcome to attend 

the launch, in the Verandah 

Room at the Byron Bay 

Community and Cultural Centre 

at 6 pm. All those interested 

in attending should contact 

Stephanie on 0422 138 103. She 

will be available to sign copies.

Post election, America pigs out on the globalisation diet 

Sue Arnold 

Americans waddled to the 

polls delivering the most spectacular 

defeat of any party in 

the last 80 years. On the day 

after the elections, it looks like 

the Republicans have taken 60 

seats in the Congress, way over 

the anticipated 50 odd seats 

giving them total control. 

Democrats have maintained 

control of the Senate, but that 

doesn’t mean anything. The 

only way President Obama 

is going to get any legislation 

through both houses is to use 

his Executive power and that’s 

increasingly unlikely as he continues 

on the path of consensus. 

So the US joins other major 

countries in the western world 

in having a gridlocked parliament, 

making any kind of governance 

near impossible. In the 

case of the US, the President 

has only himself to blame. At 

his historic election, Americans 

were inspired, fired up 

with good words and promises 

of great deeds. Unfortunately, 

Mr Obama looks like being a 

master of spin which seems to 

drive the political system of the 

western world these days. 

As someone who has spent 

years in this country, it’s a tragedy 

to see what America has 

come to. The obesity crisis is 

so bad that the medical pundits 

predict by 2050 almost all 

Americans will have diabetes. 

In stark contrast to the gigantic 

rolls of fat which are so prevalent, 

the economy is extremely 

thin, if not bordering on anorexic. 

There’s just no jobs. Unemployment 

officially is around 

9.6 per cent but more likely way 

over that figure. 

Yet the election cost almost 

$4 billion. Somehow the candidates 

and the parties raised this 

amount of money to fund their 

attack ads with Republicans 

outspending Democrats seven 

to one. Meg Whitman, who 

stood for election as the Governor 

in California, spent more 

than $140 million financing 

her campaign out of her own 

pocket. One can only wonder 

what support she might have 

got by giving the money for

Americans are depressed. 

If you’re a Democrat, the depressing 

sight of Republicans 

taking over Congress after two 

short years is enough to drive

worry. Some of the Tea Party 

candidates got up, enough to 

worry the hell out of mainstream 

Republicans. 

Worse still, Proposition 19 

which, if passed, would have 

legalised marijuana looks like 

going down for the count. So

economy now driven by consumerism 

relies on the public 

spending millions on imports 

from China, Mexico and third 

world countries. 

When Barbara Boxer, the 

powerful Senator from California, 

made her victory speech, 

ELECTRICAL 

WHOLESALER 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

she told the assembled audience 

how important it would 

be to buy things with a ‘made in 

America’ label. Yet more spin. 

Instead of telling the American 

people that the sellout of 

American industry, agriculture 

and all things American was a 

result of globalisation, and the 

juggernaut will roll on taking 

jobs and distributing more and 

more hardship. 

Americans are having a 

tough time realising the salad 

days are over. People in their 

fifties who have lost their jobs 

face the prospect of permanent 

unemployment. With very 

limited unemployment benefits 

which only run for a short 

period of time, many people in 

this age bracket face a poverty 

stricken future. No one currently 

employed has any job 

security. Young people graduating 

from universities are similarly 

disadvantaged as there’s 

simply no jobs and hundreds 

applying for anything available. 

At Pike’s Place market in 

Seattle, one of the young guys 

selling fish has a master’s degree 

in psychology and English. 

But there’s no work in his 

field and in any event he makes 

more money selling fish. Many 

young people are facing the 

prospect of a wasted and expensive 

education. 

On the east coast, the oil spill 

from the Gulf of Mexico con- 

tinues to cause havoc. The oil 

is everywhere, poisoning the 

environment and fouling the 

beaches. President Obama’s 

handling of this crisis didn’t 

impress the public and the 

continuing evidence of more 

and more people getting sick 

from the dispersant and toxic 

oil is ignored. 

Meantime, the war continues 

in Afghanistan and although 

troops are pulling out 

of Iraq, the trillions of dollars 

spent on the war effort goes on. 

Some will say that there are 

no solutions for the crisis facing 

the US. 

Some things are self-evident. 

Sooner or later governments 

of western countries are going 

to have to face up to the real 

costs of globalisation to their 

domestic economies. Wars 

will no longer be affordable 

and the damage wreaked by 

climate change and the drastic 

impact these changes are causing 

in the marine and terrestial 

environment will have to be 

addressed. 

Americans are not prepared 

for environmental crises. A 

national diet is called for on 

all levels. Get rid of the physical 

fat and the fat cats who are 

the economic gluttons without 

conscience and maybe things 

will change. 

One way or another, unfortunately, 

we’re all connected.

NOVEMBER 13 AND 14 

Fireworks, competitions and fun for everyone at this year’s 

Mullumbimby Show. 

It’s time to dig out your Akubra, pull out the baking pans, fluff up the poultry and get your entries ready. Show President 

Tony Naclerio said that following last year’s successful event the town is getting ready for an even bigger show in 2010. 

‘This is something for town and rural people of all ages from throughout the shire,’ he said. 

‘It’s a great get-together for everyone. Old mates can catch up and after last year’s success we invite everyone to join 

in.’ 

The Mullumbimby Co-op is again the main sponsor. The number one Rig of Australia will lead the truck parade through 

the main street to the show on Saturday morning from 11. 

Other favourites like the motorcycle show, horse, cattle and poultry competitions, cooking and craft contests are back 

this year with some exciting new additions like the snake display and Saturday night’s spectacular fireworks. And of 

course there are plenty of kids saving hard for the sideshows and rides. 

The delightful petting zoo is back again with a range of friendly fluffy animals like the mini-pig, mini-sheep and minicalf. 

You can even bring your pets on Sunday morning at 10 to the pet show with sections for longest dog’s tail, most 

unusual pet and best-dressed pet and owner. Besides all the general animal displays like horse, cattle and poultry don’t 

forget special events like the dog high jumping late on Saturday afternoon and the Grand Parade earlier in the day. 

Children can also enter their favourite chook or cow and participate in the horse competitions on Saturday or the NHAG 

Trail Riding Club’s Fun Day on Sunday. There’s plenty of ways to be involved by entering competitions and preparing 

entries for poultry, art, craft, flower arranging, baking, sewing and photography. Horse and Pavilion programs are 

available at shops and businesses throughout town so everyone can plan their entries. 

Entry to the Show is $7 each day with under 16s free. Membership of the Show 

Society is available from the Mullumbimby Co-op or newsagency at 

$10 per year and includes free entry to the Show. 

Entry forms and information are available from 

programs around town at www.mullumbimbyshow.

This process is called the

Tsonga has also set up a

make our shoes. This 

supports education, food 

and medical assistance 

within their community. 

These ladies on average 

earn 150 per cent more than

This week marriage celebrant and 

performer Elyjah McLeod takes a step into 

the spotlight when he presents Elyjah 

McLeod in Concert at the Byron Theatre at 

the Community Centre. Seven had a quick 

chat with Elyjah about what we could 

expect. 

Tell me a little about your show? It’s a story of my 

life told through song and story. Remember how Baz 

Lurman manged to weave some very iconic and classic 

songs to match the story he was telling? Well it’s a 

bit like that but 125 million less in the budget and no 

Nicole Kidman. Ewan McGregor, well I wait in hope. 

It looks at the transitions of my life. It threads the 

rich, the mundane, the difficult and enriching times, 

using music/song of many styles and genres which 

ultimately gives the opportunity to share myself with 

my audience and showcase my voice. 

How do you approach a song? What makes you 

choose one over another? The process of choosing 

songs for this show was like I imagine giving birth: 

difficult at first and then one day, with one huge 

push, and a few tears, it all come together... 

I started out with 40 or so songs, that I desperately

wanted to perform and have managed, luckily for 

my audience, to pare that back to 19. The songs that 

made it in related a time or place, a crush, a memory, 

significant time or prayer. I chose songs that had different 

styles, onsets, keys and feels to make the show 

dynamic for a theatre/concert style show. 

The song must entice emotion, so I can give it expression 

and use my voice to bring authenticity, heart, 

humour or feeling to it. When using other writers’ and 

composers’ material in relation to a this show especially, 

I am seeing me in the song, the orator or story 

teller; also the people and places around the song, how 

the words and music make me feel... there are certain 

songs that transport me to a place and in turn, hopefully 

take my audience with me. 

What have you chosen for your Elyjah McLeod in 

Concert? Firstly, people must know it is not original 

music – I hear the shire gasp ‘not original music!’ 

This year through studying at the Conservatorium in 

Lismore I have finally claimed, at 36 years old, I am a 

singer and performer, not a song writer or composer. 

My urge is to perform and be on stage weaving what I 

do. Like Judy and Liza, Dean Martin, Ms Bassy, Sinatra... 

get the drift. 

I’ve chosen songs that will surprise people, make them 

laugh, think, perhaps cry. Music that fits the story that

I want to tell you all... as much as is humanly possible 

in under two hours. I’m leaving it as a surprise. I am a 

Gemini Tiger show boy, so you can expect anything 

and everything. 

How are you preparing for the event? Happy to say 

I’ve just had the flu and it’s passing and it’s been amazing, 

those few extra kilos I wanted to drop have gone, 

coldsore has passed (thank Fuck) and now it’s go go go 

on voice training and strengthening, rehearsals with 

the band and privates with my Maestro Steve Russell 

to clean up some edges. Costume fittings with the 

lovely Sammy from Retropolis in Mullum, lighting plots 

and light choreography, private meltdowns, no carbs 

after 4 Darls. Seeing Lior the other night in Bangalow, 

Rufus Wainwright at QPAC, and soon Leonard Cohen, is 

hugely inspiring and helpful in preparation, to see men 

that are so inspiring and so different, and so bloody 

talented. Yum. 

And your musical backup? Tell me a little about the 

band you’ll be playing with? I was walking through 

the corridors of the Con thinking to myself who would 

I have play for me in the story of my life. Steve, Cleis, 

Slim and Greg came to mind. I plucked up the courage 

to ask them and so humbly they agreed to do the 

show... I’m over the moon with the quality and feel of 

my accompanists.

Steve Russell and I worked together on Jesus Christ Superstar in 

2001. He was the conductor and musical director for the orchestra. 

He is a delightful and extremely talented man, Steve has 

done all the arrangements and will be musical director and my 

pianist at the Steinway in the theatre. 

Slim Pickens (Sanket) and I have been friends for years. He has 

been working in the area and abroad as a solo musician and also 

with with Dr Baz. He has also played in the rockabilly sensation 

the Purple Drippers. Slim has been such a pillar of support to me 

as a friend and music mentor over the years. We recorded Down 

to the River to Pray a few years ago and it was Slim that introduced 

me to the recording studio. We are also recording my first 

EP for the show. I adore him and am so thrilled he will playing 

double bass and guitar in a few songs. 

Cleis Pearce has always transported me to a great place through 

her music. I have admired her greatly. I came to know Cleis musically 

through her times playing with Gyan and Jez Mead. Though 

we don’t know each other very well I was tap dancing madly 

when she agreed to play for my show. I feel Cleis channels so 

much through her music. 

Greg Sheehan. Greg always blew my mind, be it Tribe gigs in 

the late ‘90s at the YAC (think I saw you there too Mandy) or on 

stage with numerous musicians around the shire. He came to do 

a master class at the Con this year and my interest and fascination 

with him as a man and as a musician grew. I was fortunate to 

be with Greg and his son East during the MOB Fest run by Music 

Outback Foundation in Ti Tree commuity north of Alice Springs 

a month or so ago. Greg will shortly return from playing the Melbourne 

Festival ‘7 songs’ with Sinead O’Connor, Rikki Lee Jones, 

Gurrumul Yunipingu and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. 

Way to Glo Oka! 

This Friday, Glo is all about the dance! It is the ultimate place 

to experience great music and totally dance your stuff. This 

month features the feel good dance grooves of OKA. OKA is a 

celebration of Australian cultures with a very present, powerful 

and uniting Indigenous cultural overtone running throughout 

the music. When the raw rhythm of the didgeridoo combines 

with the OKA style dance driven grooves, the energy mustered 

is infectious, you can’t stand still. The night will open with the 

pumping global tribal beats of DJ Pulse. 8PM at the Uki Hall. 

Tickets $20 (only on the door if not already sold out). Online 

tickets at www.glodance.com or Psy.Co in Mullumbimby, Happy 

High Herbs Uki and Organic Revolution Murwillumbah. Oka also 

play the Mullum Music Festival at the end of the month.

My whole team is hot property and I am so lucky to have them 

with me behind me supporting me weaving their magic. 

What is the experience of singing like for you? Do you still 

get performance nerves? Do singers still hit flat notes in public? 

It feels like it’s my language, the place where I understand 

myself the best. Kinda my medium. More and more I am noticing 

when I’m in a song I feel an immense power and immense happiness 

in my body. When the song’s over I feel clear and present. 

Like a dip in the ocean, perhaps. 

I think a performer’s biggest fear is losing the words, and public 

humiliation, that’s certainly for me, getting lost along the way 

through a song and skilfully trying to get out of it instead of 

bursting into tears and walking off stage. Yes, I get nervous. Flat 

notes are always a possibility, yet in the preparation the mind 

and ear work together. Amazingly you can elevate that. 

You are a celebrant, a performer, and a singer... crikey, Elyjah, 

are you on a mission? You missed chef and body worker. I 

suppose I got a body and mind, may as well use it while I got 

it. Being a celebrant is an art form and indeed not unlike a performance. 

Ritual theatre perhaps. 

What do you want your audience leaving with? That magic 

feeling behind their eyes, good conversation in the car on the 

way home, like they really got a good night of entertainment, 

perhaps explored some place in their own hearts and minds, a 

big smile, a copy of my newly recorded EP that I have been working 

on with Slim, Steve Russell and I hope Cleis and Greg soon. 

and a souvenir t-towel designed by Pottsy and printed by Anne

MANNERS FROM HEAVEN 

The whole family is sitting 

around the dinner table and 

my teenage daughter pipes 

up with ‘You know what I 

think is rude? When people 

rape you and THEN they 

murder you’. There is silence. 

But she has a point. Even 

serial killers need etiquette. 

‘How RUDE!’ I agree. I mean 

it. Either one or the other, 

Mr Rapey Murderer. To do 

both is just plain greedy. I 

was impressed that the June 

Dally Watkins course Zoe did 

some years back seemed to 

have had lasting impact. At 

the time we were happy with 

the basic revelations she and 

her sister had like ‘when you 

get out of a car you have to 

close your legs’. If only Paris 

Hilton had been to Miss 

Dally, the world would be a 

safer place! 

But it’s true. Bad manners 

are everywhere. As the 

iPhone, iPad, iPod culture 

permeates the frontal cortex 

we are becoming a race of 

flagrantly rude, self-obsessed 

individualists. We are 

iCunts. That’s not swearing. 

That’s the only appropriate 

descriptive word available. 

You know things are 

getting bad when even the 

old people are rude. The 

other day I had to do some 

banking before heading 

off to run my Stand Up For 

Dementia Class. I had five 

minutes. So I went down to 

the Commonwealth Bank 

at 9.15am and waited out 

the front so I’d be the first 

customer. No one was there. 

At 9.29 an older gentleman 

and woman turned up. At 

9.30 the doors opened and 

it was at that point that my 

infant daughter decided to 

do the bolt. 

I turned to get her and in 

that time the old man and 

woman mowed me down 

to get to the teller first. I 

couldn’t believe it. I’d been 

cut down by two geriatrics! 

They then proceeded to 

conduct old people banking 

where they have a lovely 

leisurely chat. I ended up 

being late for my class. So I 

was the one who came off as 

having ‘poor’ etiquette. 

It’s time people updated 

their social behaviour. 

For a start, don’t talk on 

mobile phones in shops, or 

public transport, or while 

you’re driving. Don’t sit at 

a restaurant with company 

and spend the next 20 

minutes texting your friends. 

Don’t put people on call 

waiting to see if there’s 

someone better on the other 

line. And when it comes to 

emotional exchanges, don’t 

text or email. There’s no 

tonal context for people to 

establish what’s going on. 

If you’re angry don’t frighten 

people with Caps Lock. It’s 

electronic shouting and it 

hurts. 

In Jane Austen’s day, people 

courted by sending lovely 

long letters using beautiful 

language that alluded to 

sensual attraction. Now 

we text ‘I want to fuck you’. 

Don’t. Last time I did this I 

absent-mindedly pushed 

send and it went to my 

stepdad. It made Christmas 

lunch very uncomfortable. 

Don’t sing out loud when 

you’re listening to your 

iPod. Children used to be 

taught manners at school. I 

once explained the ‘smallest 

cupcake’ rule of courtesy to 

my middle daughter. ‘When 

offered a tray of cupcakes 

you must always take the 

smallest one.’ She was 

gobsmacked. Why would 

you do that? 

I’ve been trying to teach 

some basic dining etiquette 

at home. We only eat at the 

kitchen table. No eating in 

front of the television. It’s 

disgusting. Eating should 

be communal, it’s not just 

food, it’s conversation and 

engagement. If you’re going 

to eat in front of the telly, 

then why not just eat on the 

toilet? Cuts out the middle 

man. 

We wait until everyone is 

seated. No elbows on the 

table. Or feet. Or animals. 

We use our cutlery. A 

spoon is not a shovel. Once 

they master the knife and 

fork, I am even thinking of 

introducing the ‘dressing for 

dinner’ rule. 

I love Australian Etiquette. 

My favourite surrounds BBQ 

behaviour. They say that 

when hosting a barbie a 

knock at the door should 

never be answered because 

it means the guest doesn’t 

have any beer. And how 

much beer? A 6-pack will get 

you in but a case gets you a 

sausage.

JJ SON WITH IDABELIS AT THE GREAT NORTHERN ON MONDAY 


www.echo.net.au

They were the hit of last year’s Woodford Festival, 

with hundreds of punters packing their gigs 

writhing to the cranking rhythms of improvised jazz 

solos and some pretty fine singing. Seven caught up 

with Flap’s Jesse Guille in the lead up 

to their performance at the Mullum Music Festival. 

There’s a real minstrel feel to Flap, like something 

that has fallen between the cracks of the genres...is 

that intentional? I think the feel comes from the bands 

general love of traditional jazz, tied in with my love 

of all things I can dance to! I grew up listening to folk, 

Irish, blues, funk, reggae, calypso, jazz and gypsy music 

(amongst others!). These elements all seem to pop in and 

out, with the blanket of trad jazz keeping them warm. It 

does somehow fall between the cracks, but this sound is 

however unintentional. 

Tell me a little about a Flap! live show... I heard along 

the grapevine that your Woodford Festival show 

had the whole tent jumping... the word around the 

festival was, you have to see this band Flap! Those 

are fabulous words, I quite like them! The show is full 

of energy, it’s unpretentious, essentially about fun, 

and supported by incredible musicianship. People 

often comment on the very obvious appreciation we 

have of one another on stage and find this experience 

quite intimate. Add to this fun dancey tunes and that’s 

somewhere near to the experience! 

You and Eamon cover some pretty broad ground with 

your songwriting...what are some of the more bizarre 

songs that you’ve written? Eamon wrote a song called 

the ‘Northcote Rooster’, which is based on an old Irish 

song called the ‘Derby Ram’. Eamon’s version is about 

the real life chicken truck that goes down High Street in 

Northcote, a street full of great live music establishments. 

You see the truck go past at night full of chickens, only to 

come back past the other way empty. In the song, a giant 

chicken comes and tips the truck and sets all the chickens 

free. At least I think that’s what happens... 

How much of your shows are improvised? Do you 

think that improvisation is part of the secret of 

creating such dynamic live gigs? It does definitely 

create a very dynamic setting for an audience. The 

solos are basically spaces alloted to the soloist to lead 

us on a little journey! Sometimes this journey takes a 

very different course in the song from the last time we 

played it. It keeps everyone on stage entertained and 

on their toes, which is engaging for a crowd, and I think 

the audience can tell that what is being played is being 

created especially for the moment. It can be quite special. 

What should we be expecting for your show at the 

Mullum Music Festival? More of what we supplied at 

Woodford! Dancing music with lots of love. And fun. 

And bad jokes from me. Yay!

heartfelt folk of M Jack Bee, who’ll launch 

his EP In Loops on the night. An introspective 

documentary, Two Weeks follows Abegg 

as he ventures deep into the heart of the 

Tasmanian wilderness alone, to gain clarity 

during a period of growing confusion and 

unhappiness. This final screening will held 

be on Wednesday, at the Byron Community 

Centre (7:30pm). Tickets are $13 pre-sale/$15 

on door (kids under 12 free). A film and music 

event not to be missed. 

Play it Back for Change 

With all the talk of climate change, peak oil, 

food shortages, natural disasters and the like, 

what is your hope or vision for the future? 

Who and what inspires you? These are the questions that 

Cape Byron Playback Theatre poses for audience members at 

their next gathering where they explore the journey of transition 

towards a more sustainable lifestyle. 

Come and share your stories or ideas, projects and visions you 

have seen put into action or those you’d like to create. Saturday 

at 7.30pm at The Drill Hall in Mullumbimby. Entry by donation.

Drawing on The Burlesque 

Dr Sketchy’s Burlesque Life-Drawing once again dazzles 

the bohemians of Byron Bay on Tuesday 16 November. The 

Buddha Bar at Byron Bay Brewery hosts a night of forbidden 

pleasures with model for the evening, Mistress Kaylss Mercury, 

dominatrix extraordinaire! With ten years of international 

experience in BDSM and fetish, Mistress will be presenting a 

playfully exotic night of Leather and Latex , along with the help of 

her compliant male Slave. 

There’s also the gorgeous Miss Blaike Starlett modeling and 

performing! As well as assisting with steamy poses provided 

by our dazzling Dominatrix, raven-haired Blaike will be raising 

the temperature and a few eyebrows with a sultry routine 

guaranteed to put a quiver in the pencils of our lucky artists. $15 

entry fee to the Buddha Bar at 6pm to prepare for a 6.30pm start. 

You’ll need your own non-messy art materials and you’ll also 

need to be, naturally, over 18.

Connecting Change 

with Art 

This year’s Woodford Folk festival 

poster highlights the urgency with 

which we must embrace action to 

address Climate Change. Notable 

environmental activists have been 

family of the festival since the 

early days. Professor Ian Lowe has 

been presenting his research at 

the GreenHouse since the venue’s 

inception in 1992 (when only 30 seats 

were required) now the Greenhouse attracts a regular audience 

of 300–400 people per session. The Great Green Debate seats 

a bursting capacity of 800, with three people deep lining the 

outside edges of the venue. This year the topic is The Spirit of 

Resistance (Still) Lives! Programs and tickets are available on 

the Woodford Folk Festival website www.woodfordfolkfestival. 

com or call the Queensland Folk Federation on 07 5496 1066. 

Selected newsagents have the programs. Check online for these 

outlets.

Crackers & Jam 

It is estimated that one in five people will experience mental 

health issues at some stage through their life. Music and the 

Visual Arts can impact on people in many ways. It can bring a 

depth of joy and emotional experience that people who are 

living mental illness may not have previously experienced due 

to their condition. Crackers and Jam is a creative arts initiative 

that combines the talents of people who are often marginalised 

through their struggle with mental illnesses, homelessness and/ 

or drug and alcohol issues. The performance showcases music 

from Amada Ensemble, On Track Community Programs, The 

Buttery Recovery Choir, The Namatjera Brothers and The 

Hearing Voices Choir, combined with comedy, inspirational 

speakers and dance. The evening will be compered by the 

Cracker Queen, Ms Mandy Nolan. Mark November 26 at 7pm

forget. Tickets at Barebones Art Space, Bangalow 6687 1393 and

The Kids Are All Right 

It took me a while to warm 

to this stylish, tender film. 

Unhesitatingly, I’d say that 

I enjoyed it but, much as I 

wanted to (and I really did try), 

I just could not love it as much 

as everybody else around me 

clearly did. It happens like that 

sometimes. The mood in the 

cinema grew more intimate 

as the story developed, but 

with me unable to join that 

inner circle with whom it was 

so strongly connecting. In 

retrospect, I’d guess it was 

because I simply did not care 

much for the two central 

characters. And that is not to 

say that both Annette Bening 

and Julianne Moore are not 

superb in the parts of Nic and 

Jules, a lesbian couple living in 

one of those lush, soft-centred, 

bounteous neighbourhoods 

of southern California. As 

actresses, I’ve not seen them 

deliver better performances, 

even if their roles are a tad 

clichéd and occasionally 

over-drawn. Nic and Jules are 

happily and successfully raising 

their kids Joni (Australian Mia 

Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh 

Hutcherson), both of whom 

are the offspring of the same 

sperm donor (this confused me 

at first. Is that common?). Apart 

from the mothers’ same-sex 

relationship, the household is 

in every way normal and, being 

hi-gloss Hollywood, typically 

privileged. Nic, a doctor, is 

the pragmatic bread-winner 

who likes a tipple, while Jules 

is a space cadet who sprouts 

psycho babble and is about 

to establish a gardening 

business. Their world is thrown 

into turmoil when Laser talks 

Joni, who has now turned 

eighteen, into finding out 

who their biological father is. 

It turns out to be Paul (Mark 

Ruffalo), an organic gardener/ 

restaurateur – Laser thinks 

that he is ‘into himself’ and I 

agreed with him. The stresses 

and strains endured by all 

families are growing acute for 

Nic and Jules, with the strong 

willed Joni about to go off to 

college and Laser doing coke 

with a deadbeat mate. All that 

is needed for a meltdown to 

occur is for one of the women 

to sleep with Paul. Naturally, 

that is exactly what happens. 

Unfaithfulness is a theme as 

old as the hills and coming 

at it from a different angle is 

what underpins director Lisa 

Cholodenko’s script, which 

she co-wrote with Stuart 

Blumbers. Its humour is gentle 

and its observations of human 

nature acute, but the intended 

emotional ending left my 

heart untouched. To suggest, 

however, that the movie is 

much ado about nothing 

would be to unjustifiably 

trivialise it, for that is life all 

over, is it not? ~John Campbell 

Jackass 3 

There are still a couple of 

months to go, but I think I saw 

the best movie of the year 

last week. Funny, insightful, 

absorbing, up-beat and 

profoundly moving – it wasn’t 

this, but the Kiwi feature Boy. 

I only mention it because I 

was disappointed that I had 

to travel to Lismore to see a 

film of such artistic integrity 

(as well as mainstream appeal;

NEXT THURSDAY: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS 

in NZ it has been a box office 

bonanza). Its no-show in 

Byron puts a dent in our Shire’s 

self-image, wouldn’t you say? 

Otherwise, is there anything 

good that might be written 

about the new Jackass? No. 

Worse than bad, it is beyond 

execrable. Excreta, in fact, gets 

a big look-in as the leering 

egomaniac Johnny Knoxville 

and his mob of stuntmen 

perform one brain-numbing 

act of stupidity after another, 

including having one of them 

strapped to the seat of a 

porta-loo which is catapulted 

into the air. The camera inside 

captures in slo-mo the shit 

that drenches him. Oh … 

and then there is the closeup 

of the painted green hills 

of a toy landscape that turn 

out to be a pair of buttocks 

from which a giant turd 

emerges. That there is actually 

somebody under the table 

contorting his body so that 

he might be able to defecate 

upwards, in 3D no less, is … 

well … in truth, I’m lost for 

words. Clinging desperately 

to the principle that anything 

might become interesting if 

you observe it long enough, 

I went the distance (which, 

as a newcomer, I was unable 

to do in Jackass 2), and 

eventually came to wonder 

about the chicken and the 

egg, and which came first. 

Applied to the marketplace, 

it is a question of whether 

supply merely caters to 

demand, or will punters, 

like ravenous zombies, front 

up to consume whatever 

carrion is presented to them? 

Admittedly, I’m not part of 

Knoxville’s target audience 

and, to be fair, I suppose we 

were all at some time zitfaced 

teenage buffoons who 

thought that sneaking up

to piss on somebody’s back 

was, like, totally cool. But to 

see grown men carrying on 

in this way is as disturbing 

as it is excruciatingly boring. 

On top of that, though, to 

witness them screeching like 

teenybopper girls at their 

own stupidity leads to the 

unavoidable conclusion that 

Johnny and his boys, who 

spend a goodly portion of 

screen time in their undies and 

playing with their genitals, are, 

in that foul-mouthed butch 

way, as camp as a row of tents. 

~John Campbell 

The Town 

Ben Affleck’s compelling 

new crime drama more than 

makes good on the promise 

he showed as a director with 

his previous film Gone Baby 

Gone. This is a gritty film that 

examines criminal honour 

codes, clashing loyalties 

and one man’s increasingly 

troubled conscience. The 

film is set in the crime-ridden 

working-class Boston suburb of 

Charlestown amidst a tight-knit 

band of bandits. Affleck plays 

Doug, an eager-to-retire bank 

robber who falls for bank 

manager Claire (the remarkable 

British actress Rebecca Hall) 

while forcing her to open 

the vault during the film’s 

gripping opening sequence. 

The unfortunate Claire is then 

taken hostage to get the gang 

through the police cordon and 

released at a beach. Entranced 

by Claire, Doug first tails her, 

then befriends her. He knows 

full well he is violating criminal 

protocol and putting himself, 

his colleagues and especially 

Claire in extreme danger. The 

moral grey zones and crosscurrents 

of tension inherent 

in Doug’s dicey romance with 

Claire give the film an eversharpening 

emotional edge. 

The Town is an exceptional, 

poignant crime drama. Expect 

to hear about it again at Oscar 

time. ~Lounge Cinema

Saturday, 9pm), a superior film in the crime genre, based 

on a true story of heroin smuggling in the coffins of

WITH LILITH 

ARIES: This week’s brilliant for liberating yourself from 

ingrained habit patterns because it supplies you with so many 

celestial steroids you’re likely to be channeling that red headed, 

archetypal Aries cartoon child Dennis the Menace yelling: Hey, 

let’s go everywhere and do everything! 

TAURUS: What this week’s in need of is a giant dose of 

diplomacy. Or being looked at through Sufi poet Rumi’s 

viewfinder: Each being has a unique way of seeing, knowing 

and speaking. What seems right to you is wrong for another – 

your poison’s their honeys. 

GEMINI: Not a week for dangerous games, though you could 

be majorly attracted to playing them or else attracted to a 

must-have something you know isn’t good for you. But this 

week’s about control, and what happens when some of us 

have less than others. 

CANCER: In his poem Too Many Names, an impassioned plea 

against dissipating life in trivialities, Cancerian poet Pablo 

Neruda writes: Mondays mesh with Tuesdays and the week with 

the whole year...Leave plenty of space this week for magic to 

thrive in your life. 

LEO: If this week reveals concealed information or covert 

operations you might be in a no-prisoners, no-compromise 

frame of mind but really, there’s no need to have a power 

surge. Just watch, wait, listen, observe and most importantly 

resist launching into your Big Spender persona. 

VIRGO: Virgos love self improvement, and may feel this week 

that certain significant others could do with some too. But 

that’s their job. Yours, as super Virgo Mother Teresa put it, is if 

you can’t manage a big win then to achieve a small one with 

big love. 

World Numbers One and Two (in any order) 

share a joke at the Nanjing closing ceremony. 

Through all the turmoil surrounding 

the World Chess 

Federation, FIDE, even its critics 

had to admit that FIDE ran a 

reliable and accurate world ranking 

list. 

Now, with the publication of 

the latest world rankings, out of 

date before the numbers were 

issued, even that aspect of FIDE’s 

administration is being questioned. 

The latest FIDE world rankings 

were released on November 1, 

two days after Norway’s teenage 

superstar Magnus Carlsen confirmed 

his place at the top with a 

convincing victory at the Grand 

Slam tournament in Nanjing, 

ahead of World Champion 

2 for 1 

voucher 

2 for 1 

voucher 

This Scorpionic week reveals the larger, 

deeper world picture along with the 

connection between thoughts, actions 

and their eventual consequences 

CHESS by Ian Rogers 

Viswanathan Anand and Anand’s 

world title challenger Veselin 

Topalov. 

Yet FIDE have studiously 

ignored Nanjing, arguably the 

strongest tournament of the 

year, and installed Anand as the 

new number one, just ahead of 

Carlsen. 

To add to the confusion, Levon 

Aronian has moved up to number 

three based on results in a 

European club competition in 

Bulgaria which was held simultaneously 

with Nanjing. 

Two years ago, FIDE released 

a list which ignored an elite tournament 

which would have put 

Anand ahead of Topalov. The 

outcry from Indian chess fans 

was so great that FIDE issued a 

new list later that week, placing 

Anand at the top. 

Norwegian fans do not have 

similar clout with FIDE, so 

Anand will likely stay as the official 

world number one for the 

next two months. 

Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7-10pm 

LIBRA: Your boss planet Venus retrograding back into Libra 

offers a two week window of opportunity for sorting a 

relationship glitch or wrapping up unfinished business with a 

happier ending. So you can move on to installing newer, more 

beautiful, self-renewing programs in your biocomputers. 

SCORPIO: You’re definitely the walking wow factor this week, 

but try to detach adhesive fans for the time it takes to get clear 

about what you want from your coming year. And vow to be 

grateful for what you get, even when it’s not what you asked 

for. 

SAGITTARIUS: Archers like space and lots of it. This week offers 

the opposite, but that’s essential training for the upcoming 

season of unreason. With Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius your 

perception’s acute, but your focus-finder needs adjusting from 

far horizons to up close and personal issues. 

CAPRICORN: If this week’s deep and meaningful soul 

searching gets your goat, then take advantage of its financial 

savvy. Or make use of late week Capricorn moon to initiate 

that we-have-to-talk courageous conversation that will clear a 

whole load of emotional static. 

AQUARIUS: Some versions of current astro-predictions 

feature emotional space invaders and your mind as a torture 

chamber. But if we really are what we think, there’s no reason 

not to morph this week’s world into a celebratory, easy going, 

whimsical, quixotic parallel reality of your own inventions 

PISCES: Emotional extravaganzas could distract you from this 

week’s uncomfortable job of examining your deepest personal 

needs, which become increasingly insistent the more you 

ignore them. But with plenty of discipline-stimulating energy 

available, there’s no excuse for not getting stuck into what 

you’ve been putting off. 

FIDE will claim they are 

only following their own rules 

in including the Bulgarian club 

event but not the elite Chinese 

tournament. However the upshot 

is that more and more chess fans 

will turn to the privately operated 

http://chess.liverating.org/, 

updated daily, to see how the 

top players stack up against each 

other. 

The latest FIDE list places 

Australia steady at number 56 

after a creditable if unspectacular 

Olympiad performance last 

month. Russia heads the list, followed 

by the Ukraine and China, 

but the big surprise is France 

with their highest ever ranking 

of fourth. For decades France 

was once of the middle-ranking 

European countries, no stronger 

than Australia. The rise of Bacrot, 

Fressinet and Vachier-Lagrave 

to elite level (2700+) has been 

remarkable and impressive, due 

to talent, good training, plenty of 

strong tournament opportunities 

and an improving cultural position 

for chess in France. 

This week’s game sees the new 

official world number one take 

apart France’s number one in the 

last round of the Nanjing tournament.

Anand. 16...Rad8 17.a4 Bh5?! ‘I don’t like this

It was the third year that the 

Byron at Byron resort hosted 

the Vogue Champagne Dinner. 

This time around, all ninety seats in the 

house sold out even before the resort 

had the chance to advertise. Easy to 

understand why: the sensational setting it 

boasts – canopies of rainforest glimmering 

beyond the wide wooden decks – and that 

easy-going glamour for which the venue 

has become rapidly renowned, combined 

with a night dedicated purely to drinking 

French champagne thoughtfully matched 

to food by a prominent chef of national 

repute. 

The prominent chef in this case was Mark 

Best, of Marque restaurant in Sydney. 

Recently named the Vittoria Coffee 

Restaurant of the Year at the 2011 Good 

Food Guide Awards, it was also the 

recipient of the Breakthrough Award at the 

San Pellegrino World’s Best 50 Restaurant 

Awards 2010 ceremony in the UK. 

I remember Mark Best from about 15 years 

ago: he was running a small restaurant 

called The Peninsula in Darling Street 

Balmain, next door to the deli where I was 

working at the time, and even though 

I never dined there I would periodically 

hear favourable reports. Leaps and 

bounds away from that era, he has now 

carved himself a reputation for a style of 

cutting-edge, innovative cuisine which, 

while based on solid (largely French) 

technique, has embraced the wave which 

is molecular gastronomy. And for this 

reason I approached the evening a little 

apprehensively. Over the past several years 

my occasional exposure to soils and foams, 

deconstructions and recompositions have 

led me to the private conclusion that, oldfashioned 

girl that I am, it is not to my taste. 

The beautifully mild evening meant that 

we could all mingle outside over our 

first champagnes – Lanson served in 

weighty Waterford crystal – as the canapes 

circulated. Beetroot & Foie Gras Macaroons 

appeared as pretty sweet things until you 

bit into ethereally light pastry and lush rich 

filling; Tomato & Parmesan Marshmallows 

looked for all the world like ordinary

marshmallows until the salty shock of 

cheese hit your palate in one melting 

mouthful. There were Salt Cod Pillows and 

large oysters lurking beneath a blowtorched 

‘sea-foam’. 

But it was inside at the three long 

fabulously-adorned tables that the real 

treats began. Highlights included local 

spanner crab with almond gazpacho, 

almond jelly, sweet corn and avruga (with 

Louis Roederer) – everyone raving over the 

contrast of salty caviar, sweet corn and crab 

on quivering jelly dome; and the Balmain 

bug and king prawn on roasted cos with 

lemon curd, all rich sweet bursts of flavour 

(with Charles Heidseick). There were four 

dishes, a sublime salad of local vegetables 

and at the end a frozen fruit salad which 

arrived in billowing clouds of smoke, pure 

theatre – and all of this accompanied 

by different types of champagnes and 

mercifully few speeches. The dark room 

flickered and glowed with candelabra 

and towering vases of flowers as Bollinger 

brand manager Paul Boothby cited Lanson 

as saying that a magnum was the correct 

size for two gentlemen, and attributed 

to Mark Twain the quote that ‘too much 

of anything is too much, but too much 

champagne is just enough.’ 

I wasn’t quite so persuaded by that 

sentiment the following delicate morning 

– but at the time there was no denying I 

loved every mouthful. As for Mark Best’s 

food: it was one of the most exciting meals 

I had eaten in a long time, and while not 

necessarily a molecular convert, I grant 

that it is an experience that every culinarily 

curious person should have at least once in 

their lives. 

The Orion Curry House has had top reviews by 

international travel magazines as the great curry house 

by the sea. The annual winner/finalist of the Indian Award 

of Excellence, the Orion is also producing the best coffee 

by Segafredo, continental all day breakfast, lunch, curry 

house dinner, and the mystical ambience to match. The

Dining in any mode. Share plates and bistro-style 

main course meals from noon till late, seven days a

area’s most comprehensive wine lists always available 

with many by the glass, with or without a meal. A

WINE’S WORLD D 

e 

Green innovation brings home 

gold for Taylors Wines 

On the back of the launch of the world’s 

first carbon neutral wine range based 

on a complete life cycle assessment 

compliant to the international standard 

(ISO14044), Taylors Wines has again 

been recognised for its innovative 

environmental practices, winning the 

NAB Agribusiness National Award 

for Environmental and Energy 

Management. 

The third-generation, family owned 

winery from South Australia’s Clare 

Valley picked up the award over industry 

heavyweight Treasury Wine Estates and 

fellow category finalists Longwarry Food 

Park, Mackay Sugar and Warrnambool 

Cheese and Butter. 

Taylors’ benchmark environmental 

initiatives which contributed to the 

award win include launching the 100 

percent carbon neutral Eighty Acres 

range of wines, introducing OI’s new 

lightweight Lean+Green glass across 

their Eighty Acres, Promised Land and 

Estate ranges as well as their work in 

water management and implementing 

sustainable vineyard practices. 

Mitchell Taylor, Managing Director 

of Taylors Wines, said the award win 

was recognition of an environmental 

philosophy which has been at the core of 

the family business for many years: ‘While 

winemaking techniques and processes 

may have changed over the three 

generations of winemaking in our family, 

our commitment to the environment 

has always been solid. For us, “going

green” isn’t something new – we’ve been 

hard at work finding innovative ways to 

change things for the better for years.’ 

Taylors Wines Environmental 

Ambassador Clinton Taylor emphasised 

how nature had provided inspiration for 

some of the winery’s most innovative 

solutions: ‘It doesn’t take modern 

technology or nasty chemicals to help 

reduce troublesome weeds in our 

vineyards. Instead, during winter we’ve 

introduced sheep to selected vineyard 

blocks. This has resulted in an immediate 

reduction in herbicides and use of 

diesel-based machinery. We also use the 

manure as fertiliser.’ 

Recent international recognition of the 

Eighty Acres range of wines has included 

its selection by Australia’s Ambassador 

for Climate Change for an official 

function in Copenhagen, and being 

named the world’s best new ‘green’ drink 

by Drinks Business at the 2010 Green 

Awards in London. 

This is also the second significant 

environmental award win by Taylors in 

as many weeks, following their 2010 

Banksia Environmental Award win, for 

the Leading in Sustainability Award in 

the small to medium enterprise category.

ENTERPRISING BROOKFARM 

Local company Brookfarm, creators of macadamia-based products, have just 

won yet another award. At NAB’s Agribusiness Awards for Excellence held 

recently in Melbourne, they won the Rural Enterprise Award, which recognises 

the important role that regionally-based companies plays in the overall wellbeing 

of rural and regional communities. 

It also focuses on companies that raise the value of farm production and regional 

development by quality value-adding. Alongside their scores of other awards, this is 

a tremendous accomplishment for owners Pam and Martin Brook, who started out 

in 2000 selling muesli from the back of their van at the Bangalow markets. The NAB 

Agribusiness Awards, now in its 15th year, recognises excellence, innovation and 

leadership in the Australian agricultural sector.

Operation Lifejackets targets boaters 

Last weekend NSW Maritime 

launched ‘Operation Lifejackets’ 

to educate boaters about 

new lifejacket laws and to encourage 

a culture of safe and 

responsible boating, NSW 

Maritime General Manager 

Maritime Operations Howard 

Glenn said. 

Mr Glenn said the state-wide 

boating safety campaign was a 

joint operation between NSW 

Maritime and the volunteer 

units of Marine Rescue NSW. 

‘The aim is to raise awareness 

of the new lifejacket laws, 

especially the need to wear 

lifejackets at times of heightened 

risk such as boating alone 

or boating offshore,’ said Mr 

Glenn. ‘The aim of Operation 

Lifejackets is to educate the 

boating community about the 

new lifejacket rules to improve 

boating safety. 

‘Last year, 23 lives were lost 

in boating incidents and too 

often this involved drowning

and small vessels. 

Under the new laws all 

boaters must wear lifejackets 

on vessels less than 4.8 metres 

at night, on open (ocean) 

waters, on alpine waters, and 

when boating alone. Children 

under 12 years must wear lifejackets 

on boats less than 4.8m 

or when they in open areas of 

vessels less than 8 metres that 

are underway. 

The length of 4.8m is being 

used because that is a length 

used in international standards 

for vessel buoyancy and stability; 

boats under that length are 

more susceptible to swamping 

and capsize. 

Marine Rescue NSW will 

support the campaign in an education 

role only. For more information 

on boating safety, go

Nostalgic surf and Mo grow 

As part of Movember festivities 

worldwide, and in tribute 

to surfing’s proud history of 

the moustache, Mo Bros are 

preparing for the 4th Annual 

Morning of the Mo, inspired 

by Albe Falzon’s classic 70s surf 

film, Morning of the Earth. 

Morning of the Earth transformed 

the surf movie genre 

in the late 1960s and early 

70s, as an artistic portrait of 

counter-culture and alternative 

lifestyles throughout Australia, 

Bali, and Hawaii. Morning of 

the Mo relives the glory days, 

returning the Mo to surf fashion 

to help change the face of 

men’s health. 

Morning of the Mo is a 

grass roots gathering with all 

participants required to rock 

a Mo, ride a pre-80s shaped 

surfboard and dress relevant to 

the era in order to enter; stage 

names are encouraged but not 

essential. 

All proceeds of the event 

go to Movember’s beneficiary 

partners The Prostate Cancer 

Foundation of Australia and 

beyondblue – the national depression 

initiative. 

The rules for the 2010 event 

haven’t changed: No Mo – No 

Ride. No Leg ropes. No Thrusters. 

All Fun. 

The event will take place on 

Saturday, Movember 20, the location 

to be announced on the 

day. Participants will meet at 

7am at the lighthouse car park 

Ballina, a call will then made

Poor approvals compound rate rise worries 

ABS Building Approvals fell for a 

sixth consecutive month in September 

2010, which highlights the 

deteriorating outlook for residential 

building in Australia, said the 

Housing Industry Association. 

HIA Senior Economist Andrew Harvey 

said that total building approvals 

fell by 6.6 per cent in September 

2010 to be down by 9.1 per cent over 

the three months to September. 

‘[These] weak approvals numbers, 

which include a marked 15.7 per 

cent monthly fall in approvals for 

private sector other dwellings, reaffirms 

that we are facing a considerable 

slow-down in building starts,’

he said. ‘The weak housing outlook 

is compounded by the interest rate 

hike by the Reserve Bank which, 

due to the additional independent 

20 basis point increase by the 

Commonwealth Bank, will act like 

a sledgehammer on confidence and 

economic activity in the non-resource 

sectors. 

‘This total 45 basis point increase in 

home-lending rates will seriously

Estate agents go the mo for Movember 

Byron Bay real estate agent David 

Gordon is discovering his Mojo! 

After 25 years of being clean shaven 

and proudly bald, the principal of 

Ray White Byron Bay has joined 

the ranks of Movember Mo Bros 

around the world. 

David and his four colleagues – Stuart 

Aitken (Movember Team Captain), 

Chris Galkowski, Brett Connable 

and Lloyd Lawton – will be 

sporting personalised moustaches 

during Movember to raise awareness 

of men’s health. 

Their efforts will culminate in a 

Movember Spring Auction of 11 

properties on November 28, which 

aims to raise up to $11,000 for beyondblue 

and the Prostate Cancer 

Foundation of Australia. 

David said Ray White would donate 

$1,000 from every home sold during 

the auction campaign, includ- 

Sep 02 

–––– Seasonally adjusted –––– Trend

Sep 10 

ing homes sold before the event. 

They will also donate $20 for any 

Mo Bro or Mo Sista who turns up 

to the auction donning a real or fake 

moustache. 

Not to be outdone, David will also 

send weekly progress reports on his 

cowboy-inspired moustache, Mojo, 

to anyone who makes an online donation 

to Movember through the 

Ray White team. 

‘I guess people are fascinated to 

know what I’ll look like with hair 

on my face because we’ve already 

received over $450 in cash donations,’ 

he said. ‘This is the first time 

I’ve thought about growing hair, 

instead of losing it, since I was 21.’ 

Stuart Aitken, who is modelling his 

moustache on Mark ‘Chopper’ Reid, 

said Movember was an opportunity 

for people to talk openly about the 

often ignored issue of men’s health.

Mullumbimby Farmers 

Market 

Jan Taylor says her Lohmann chooks, Thelma and Louise, have 

buddied up like the pair they were named after. Eighteen week 

old Thelma has reached laying age but appears psychologically 

scarred by the bullying she is receiving from the bitchy chicks in 

the coop, thus she is laying daily a cigar-shaped egg with no yolk 

and it’s cracking her confidence. Fortunately pen pal Louise, who 

doesn’t want to feel like she is walking around on eggshells all 

day, has stepped into the breach. Louise may be a tiny bird but 

for the sake of friendship and Thelma’s sanity, she is squeezing 

out double yolkers for Jan’s table – and they are yum. 

Council’s plan to drop its orders 

against Fast Buck$ in relation 

to his Coorabell property 

hinge in part on ‘even if the 

Court determines that Council 

issued Orders are valid and 

enforceable, that can sometimes 

have no practical effect, 

as further Class 4 enforcement 

action can still become necessary 

if the landowner fails to 

comply with the Orders’. Geez, 

why bother commencing action 

in the first place? Byron’s 

planning approach to illegal 

hinterland development and 

to holiday letting remains as 

confused as ever. 

 

The Mullum Woolworths fencing 

fiasco drags on. According 

to Council’s planning director 

Ray Darney, the fencing will be 

in place until the end of February 

next year, when the works 

are expected to be completed. 

Work on the new roundabout 

near Milk & Honey is expected 

to start shortly, along with 

drainage work. 

 

Kevin Franey from TNR Accountants 

and Auditors in Lismore 

recently outlined the fi- 

nancial state of Byron Council 

to councillors. The last item in 

the report dealt with legal expenses: 

‘Recently Council has 

incurred substantial legal costs 

that are largely attributable to 

cases relating to the Mullumbimby 

shopping centre development 

and coastal erosion. In 

2010 legal costs have totalled 

$1.064m with 2011 budgeted 

costs anticipated to be high 

also. While legal costs can be 

unavoidable it is noted that 

they can have a significant impact 

on Council’s financial performance 

and position. Currently 

Council’s legal services 

internal reserve is quite low 

and will require replenishing.’ 

A full copy of the report will 

be made available on Council’s 

website in the near future. 

 

Byron Council scored gold in 

a NSW Ombudsman’s report, 

topping the list of the most 

complained-about councils on 

the north coast with 13 complaints, 

and came in 19 overall 

of the 129 listed. Eleven of the 

complaints were dismissed and 

the other two settled. Both the 

Ombudsman and the Inde- 

pendent Commission Against 

Corruption (ICAC) are reluctant 

to commit their overstretched 

resources to full-scale 

investigations far from Sydney.

and counselling professionals.

John Howard and George 

W Bush now have another 

thing in common, apart from 

rightwing fundamentalist 

philosophy – they have both 

had shoes thrown at them. It 

seems a relatively harmless 

form of protest – until someone 

loses an eye, then it’ll all 

end in tears – and it made us 

wonder about the 1970s art of 

cream pie throwing as a form 

of civil disobedience. It’s still 

alive and well, with a PETA 

activist recently tofu-pieing a 

Canadian MP in favour of seal 

hunting. The act of pie hurling 

and associated moral issues is 

dealt with well by Eric Mang 

at www.rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/ericmang/2010/01/lawprotest-and-civil-disobedience-tofu-cream-pie-incident. 

According to Wikipedia, pieing 

as a political act probably 

began in 1970 when Thomas 

King Forcade, founder of High 

Times magazine, pied Otto 

N Larsen, chairman of the 

President’s Commission On 

Obscenity and Pornography.
