Fracking: are mining 

companies poisoning 

local water tables? 

Ray Moynihan 

A rare alliance of farmers and environmentalists 

looks set to succeed 

in its push for tougher regulation of 

the controversial process of fracking, 

which has recently come to the 

Northern Rivers, where domestic and 

foreign-owned companies hold widespread 

rights to explore for gas. 

Fracking, or Fracking, involves 

high pressure pumping of potentially 

toxic chemicals down wells to fracture 

rocks and release gas in coal seams or 

other reserves. 

It has raised serious concerns 

through documentaries such as Gasland, 

and a recent ABC TV Four Corners 

investigative report. According 

to its opponents, the process poisons 

water tables and leaves damaged ecosystems 

in its wake. 

Th e New South Wales Farmers Federation’s 

vice-president Fiona Simson 

told Th e Echo her group has ‘huge 

concerns’ about the ‘inexact science’ 

of fracking, and potential contamination 

from the chemicals involved, 

which aren’t registered for use in underground 

water systems. 

What’s on 

Th e state Minister for North Coast 

Don Page told Th e Echo the new government 

would ‘immediately implement 

a tougher process, taking a precautionary 

approach’ which would 

retrospectively apply to existing 

exploration licences, and use ‘much 

greater caution’ in granting new ones. 

The demand for a moratorium 

however, being pushed by farmers, 

environmentalists, Th e Greens, Rous 

Water, and the Lock the Gate alliance, 

appears to remain unmet. 

Active local gas mines 

Several gas companies are active 

in the region, including the foreign 

owned Arrow, which has a licence 

to explore, and potentially use fracking, 

across more than 10, 000 square 

kilometres from west of the mountains, 

through Byron and down to 

Local gas exploration sites as published on www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/

Evans Head (see map above). 

Th e industry lists 45 chemicals that 

may be used in fracking, which it argues 

is ‘tightly regulated and safe’. 

However the National Toxics Network 

says only two of the most commonly 

used chemicals have been ascontinued

There were ‘numbers never seen before at Durrumbul Hall’, say organisers of the Concert for Japan held last 

Saturday. ‘Over $30,000 was raised for Japan earthquake charities. The people of the rainbow region opened their

Byron Police are warning citizens not 

to fi lm their activities and threatening 

them with action for interfering in 

their work, despite such fi lming being 

entirely legal. 

The Echo became aware of the 

warnings not to fi lm when your correspondent 

witnessed an altercation 

between police and a group of local 

youths in the early hours of a recent 

weekend. 

Two offi cers were overheard telling 

the group they could not record 

police on their camera phones unless 

they had the offi cers’ permission. 

When your correspondent indicated 

this was likely incorrect, his details 

were recorded and he was told he 

could face action for ‘interfering in a 

police investigation.’ 

However, according to the NSW 

Police Force’s own media unit, ‘Members 

of the public have the right to 

take photographs of or fi lm police offi 

cers, and incidents involving police 

offi cers, which are observable from 

��I��I�� www.crystalcastle.com.au 

 

Beating the drums for Japan 

Filming police in public is your right 

a public space, or from a privately 

owned place with the consent of the 

owner [or] occupier.’ 

NSW Council of Civil Liberties 

president Cameron Murphy says police 

intimidation of amateur and even 

professional photographers is a serious 

and growing problem. 

‘Police fear being fi lmed when they 

are acting beyond their powers or being 

unreasonable or aggressive,’ he 

told Th e Echo. 

Beyond police’s power 

‘We’ve had a number of incidents 

where police have seized cameras 

from journalists… it’s beyond the police’s 

power to do that, but we’ve had 

a number of incidents where this has 

been reported to us.’ 

Th e youths told Th e Echo they were 

fi lming the police because offi cers had 

allegedly used heavy-handed tactics 

and they wished to discourage any 

further incident. 

It’s an approach Murphy would like 

to encourage. 

‘I’d hope that citizens that take pic- 

tures when they see police acting in a 

manner that’s unbecoming of a police 

offi cer,’ Murphy said. 

‘Th ey have to be as accountable as 

anyone else.’ 

However, police may be able to use 

other powers against would-be citizen 

journalists. 

‘Even if the police give you an unlawful 

direction, if the offi cer believes 

it’s lawful, they can arrest you for failing 

to follow a lawful direction,’ Murphy 

said. 

Th e good news is courts tend to 

take a dim view of such charges. 

A Tweed/Byron Local Area Command 

spokesperson said they were 

not aware of any of its offi cers advising 

members of the public that it is 

illegal to fi lm police. 

If any member of the public has 

concerns or a complaint about offi 

cer conduct they should contact the 

NSW Police Force Customer Assistance 

Unit on 1800 622 571 between 

8am and 4pm.

sessed by the national regulator, 

and government agencies are 

raising serious questions about 

potential environmental impacts. 

In December the National 

Water Commissioner warned 

while the coal seam gas industry 

brought economic opportunities, 

without adequate 

regulation it posed risks of 

‘signifi cant, long-term and adverse 

impacts on surface and 

groundwater systems’, adding 

that cumulative eff ects were 

‘not well understood.’ 

In September, a draft report 

prepared by the federal 

environment department on 

major projects in Queensland 

outlined ‘signifi cant concerns’ 

about ‘the inability of proponents 

to accurately quantify 

their individual and collective 

impacts’ from projects that 

could run for 30 years. 

‘Signifi cant impacts’ 

Th at report warned the projects 

were ‘likely to have a signifi 

cant impact’ on threatened 

native species, and expressed

grave concerns about eff ects 

on water pressure and chemistry, 

the time for water systems 

to recover, the volume of 

salt and heavy metals in waste, 

and land subsidence. 

Exploration wells 

Th e foreign-owned Arrow 

Energy has so far drilled 15 

exploration wells in this region, 

including at nearby Bexhill, 

and vice-president Tony 

Knight says fracking will likely 

be used at wells selected for 

pilot drilling, possibly as early 

as next year. 

Arrow’s own assessment of 

environmental impacts states 

‘oil-based and synthetic-base 

drilling fl uids will not be used’. 

However when required 

‘some additives’ may be used 

which are ‘generally either 

natural or environmentally 

friendly/biodegradable and 

classifi ed as low or medium 

hazard.’ 

The company’s document 

also states neighbours may be 

aff ected by noise from drilling

Protests planned for Tara, QLD 

A day trip to the protest site 

at Tara, QLD, is being planned 

by Anthea Amore, ‘to support 

and off er solidarity to farmers 

and property owners. 

‘It’s a lead-up to the Lock

more, and reveals drilling is 

occurring within several hundred 

metres of creeks and 

other water sources. 

According to the Environmental 

Defenders Offi ce, mining 

companies have to first 

seek permission to explore on 

private property, but can, with 

court backing, ultimately drill 

without consent of the landowner 

as close as 50 metres to 

houses and gardens. However 

Tony Knight says Arrow will 

not explore on land without 

the owner’s agreement, an 

approach echoed by other industry 

figures including the 

managing director of Clarence 

Moreton Resources, which is 

also drilling in the region. 

‘Wouldn’t use 

harmful chemicals’ 

Peter Francis says his company 

would ‘never go onto a 

site unless it had a pre-agreement 

with that land owner’, 

and that if the company had 

to use fracking, ‘we wouldn’t 

be using harmful chemicals.’ 

Th e chief fi nancial offi cer of 

Australian owned Metgasco, 

Glenda McLoughlin, believes 

industry doesn’t need to 

change the nature of its practices, 

but rather, communicate 

better with the pubic. 

‘We take our environmental 

responsibilities seriously,’ she 

told Th e Echo.

Mullum Country Music Club raises $3,000 

‘A wonderful aft ernoon of music 

and friendship was had by 

all who attended the Mullumbimby 

Country Music Club on 

Sunday March 20,’ says music 

club secretary Beth Hughes. 

‘Th ere were 20 visiting and 

local artists on stage throughout 

the aft ernoon with a guest 

artist from Brisbane being 

Tony Wagner. 

‘Th e aft ernoon was a fun- 

draising day for Th e Westpac 

Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, 

and an amount of $3,150 was 

handed over to them. The 

money being raised was due 

to the generosity of the businesses 

of Mullumbimby and 

Brunswick Heads, who donated 

cash and raffl e prizes, 

plus money the country music 

club has raised by charging $2 

for each aft ernoon tea served 

during the year.’ 

Ms Hughes said Sue Keogh 

accepted the cheque on behalf 

of the Westpac Helicopter. 

‘She said since we started 

raising money for them, we 

have donated almost $19,000, 

which is a great achievement 

for a small club. 

‘Th anks to all for your generosity 

in making this day a 

great success.’

Ms McLoughlin said local

and that a lot of fracking 

chemicals were ‘normal 

household chemicals.’ 

Potential

Rejecting the claim, National 

Toxics Network adviser 

Ms Marianne Lloyd-Smith 

said fracking can involve ‘very 

serious chemicals’, including 

potential carcinogens and others 

never found in the home, 

much of which remain in the

where the industry is involved

Community OS Roundhouse plans unveiled 

Hans Lovejoy 

Roundhouse Action Group 

(RAG)’s plans for a self-funded 

community and cultural centre 

have been announced and will 

be presented to Council this 

Th ursday. 

Th e prime parcel of Council- 

owned land in Ocean Shores 

has, for many years, been an 

underutilised public asset. 

Since it was acquired in 1993, 

the 1.388 hectare site has remained 

largely unused. 

RAG’s comprehensive 100page 

business plan hopes to 

persuade Council and staff that 

its long-term business model 

would be preferable to selling 

the land outright; something 

which The Echo undertands 

councillors and staff are mostly 

in favour of. 

Th e community group claim 

that 21 units for short-term accommodation 

would help pay 

for capital works and ongoing 

costs. 

Other income streams have 

also been examined, they say, 

including a cafe, gallery, auditorium 

as well as government 

grants. 

‘We want to turn the Ocean 

Shores Roundhouse site into the 

best innovative, self-powered 

community cultural facility in 

the Northern Rivers region – 

and showcase the Byron creative 

arts,’ RAG spokesperson Ri 

Fraser says. 

Architect Jerry Cook’s concept plan, along with a 100-page 

business plan, will be presented to Council this Thursday. 

‘Byron Shire Council has a 

unique opportunity to create 

a flagship community project 

– a public gallery for the 

cultural arts and promote cultural 

tourism. 

‘Council and community 

can work together to achieve 

a public cultural arts facility 

for the shire on a unique landmark 

site.’ 

Funding 

Ms Fraser claims RAG’s budget 

projections show an annual 

surplus of around $500,000 and 

can be achieved with 75 per cent 

occupancy rates. 

‘MP Don Page has undertaken 

to obtain funding for 

the Roundhouse Project in the 

range of $250,000 to $300,000 

for a development application 

and design work. 

‘Th is would be from the State 

and Regional Development 

portfolio, perhaps under a new 

name. 

‘We have amended our budget 

for the fi rst full operating year 

of the 21 motel units to include 

this funding. Th e cultural centre 

will be built as the fi nal stage of 

the project.’ 

Community survey 

‘A survey was conducted on 

the use of the site last August 

and September,’ she said. 

‘The Roundhouse Action 

Group surveyed the local community 

(coastal north and Mullumbimby), 

under the auspices 

of the Ocean Shores Community 

Association and Ocean 

Shores Art Expo, and with support 

from other community organisations. 

‘Th is was done in response to 

a resolution of Council asking 

for confi rmation of community 

wishes for the land. Th e result 

demonstrated an overwhelming 

support for a multipurpose 

cultural centre on the site.’ 

Cultural Centre 

Facilities 

Facilities at the centre include 

a performance space/community 

cinema, coffee shop/ 

restaurant, exhibition space/ 

gallery, meeting/conference/ 

office space, tourist information 

offi ce and shop, archival 

museum and workshops, sur- 

rounding gardens, picnic area 

and playground. 

‘We have worked with the local 

Aboriginal community on 

this project,’ RAG’s Jan Mangleson 

told Th e Echo, ‘and representatives 

have attended our 

public functions and planning 

over the past year. 

‘We are planning for signifi - 

cant Aboriginal cultural input 

into our art gallery and museum. 

‘It is planned to run our cinema/theatre 

as a showcase for 

the local film industry with 

shorts, docos, etc, every day. We 

are in consultation with theatre 

experts on acoustics, theatre design 

etc. 

‘Th e plan to build 21 units on 

the northern slope which are for 

short-term visitor accommodation 

is of interest to Golf Tourism 

Australia and Northern 

Rivers Tourism, who say there 

is a lack of accommodation for 

golfers and for visitors generally 

in the area. 

‘RAG’s fi nancial consultants 

assessed that there would be 

$500,000 per year net income 

at 75 per cent occupancy rate 

aft er interest and running costs. 

It is likely the occupancy rate 

would be much higher.’ 

Architect’s vision 

‘I am using ancient stonehengey 

monolithic forms,’ says 

(retired) architect Jerry Cook, 

‘and then in contrast, more 

modern forms; a long timeline 

of creative energy, which is what 

this project is all about. 

‘Th ere is also a relationship 

with the sea, whale forward fi ns 

in the stone monolith forms, 

and Mt Warning, the lifting 

curve at the entry – Mt warning 

being an old volcano edge 

that lift s out of the curve. We 

also have nearby Mt Chincogan 

with a similar feel. 

‘The taller round part is a 

cafe with amazing 360-degree 

views of the sea, whale watchers’ 

heaven, and scenic forest 

view, including Mt Warning in 

the distance. 

‘Just below that there is a local 

arts and craft s shop, and on the 

lower level there is an historical 

area and theatre.’

stuff, where art meets 

words and science meets 

words. Th ere’ll be more music 

and art.’ 

Th e festival’s tag-line of ‘feel 

the passion’ has made it an exciting 

challenge for her to work 

out how to manifest it, she said.

Main Beach car park, circa 1950 

Peter Duke sent in this amazing piece of history: the jetty (1928–1970s) is in the background, while the old jetty (1888–1930s) was 

dismantled by this time. Two shark towers were located on the beach to warn swimmers. ‘If a large shark came within sight of the 

beach, a bell would ring from the tower,’ says Peter. ‘With all the bravado of the old whaling crews, men from the surf club would 

quickly launch the surfboat in pursuit.’ For more see wwwbyronbaybook.com. 

Dog traps net 75 wild dogs; calls for greater action 

Cr Patrick Morrisey is calling 

on the State Government to do 

more on addressing the wild 

dog problem in the area. 

‘Seventy-fi ve wild dogs have 

been caught in the Byron Shire 

hinterland in the past two years; 

ten in the past three weeks, 

which is thanks to the initiative 

of community groups and a 

private dog trapper,’ he said. 

‘But the NSW Government’s 

lead agency responsible Livestock 

Health and Pest Authority 

(LHPA) won’t participate in 

trapping.’ 

The entire 75 were caught 

were by one individual, Cr 

Morrisey claims, and ‘clearly 

demonstrates the extent of 

wild dogs roaming the bush.’ 

He added no wild dogs trapped 

were dingos. 

‘Thanks must go to the 

Landcare groups and landholders 

who have paid for the 

wild dog trapper out of their 

own pockets,’ he said.

‘A community initiated 

public meeting was held recently 

where Landcare groups, 

NPWS, LHPA, Byron Council, 

private trappers and farmers 

attended. Th ere was a strong 

call for trapping; however 

LHPA – North East Region 

(Lismore), the authority responsible, 

remain reluctant to 

allocate funds for trapping, yet 

they clearly wanted to retain 

‘ownership’ of any initiative to 

control wild dogs by only using 

1080 baiting. 

‘Individuals and community 

groups are now having better 

success using a private trapper 

than working with this NSW 

government authority by still 

have to pay rates to the authority. 

‘Th e trapping is a reprieve 

for livestock and our wildlife. 

‘We can only imagine what 

these wild dogs have been living 

on in this biodiversity hot 

spot, certainly not fresh air,’ Cr 

Morrisey said.

‘Byron Shire Council will be 

considering allocating $20,000 

for trapping wild dogs, foxes 

and wild cats at its next ordinary 

meeting on Th ursday 

April 14. 

‘I ask all Northern Rivers 

Councils and LHPA to join 

with Byron Shire and allocate 

similar funds to pay a professional 

dog trapper,’ said Cr 

Morrisey. 

‘Th e community is leading 

the way. Councils are following. 

Th e NSW Government’s 

LHPA need to follow the community’s 

lead and adopt trapping 

in this region or provide 

funds to those who are doing 

the work. 

‘The LHPA can no longer 

continue to charge landholders 

a rate for no eff ective service.’ 

Cr Morrisey says the LHPA 

in northeast NSW mainly use 

1080 baits distributed ‘by just 

a couple of rangers across the 

whole Northern Rivers Region 

which is not an eff ective strategy. 

They won’t use trappers 

in this region despite repeated 

requests, citing costs, however 

they do in southern NSW.’

Supporting local business 

Local brewery voted best beer in Ausralia 

Not even three years old, local brewing company Stone & 

Wood has just had its Pacific Ale voted Australia’s best beer by 

a panel of respected industry members. 

This impressive result emerged with the launch of The 

Critics’ Choice: Australia’s Best Beers, the latest beer book to 

hit the shelves. Co-founders of the company Brad Rogers, 

Ross Jurisich and Jamie Cook did not take long to establish 

themselves at the forefront of Australia’s rapidly growing 

craft beer market, with their Pacific Ale having already been 

selected as one of Australia’s Top 20 beers by the Weekend 

Australian Magazine in November 2010, and in the top three of 

the Hottest 100 Craft Beers consumer poll in January this year. 

Mullum Farmers Market turns one 

Twelve months ago Mullumbimby Farmers Market set itself 

up at the Showgrounds – and has been flourishing on Friday 

mornings ever since. 

To celebrate its first birthday a party is being organised on 

Friday April 15, with a free community feast and Spaghetti 

Circus acts. Tables of market party food, including a kids-only 

party table, will be erected and served by market regulars. 

Coinciding with the birthday will be the launch of the 

Mullum Farmers Market School Gardens Project, and 

representatives of schools who have so far expressed interest 

in sourcing funding will be in attendance. 

Seventeen years helping people 

Seventeen years in the one profession is an achievement in 

itself – and one local man has not only notched that up at 

On-Q Human Resources but also made a real difference to the 

local youth employment figures in that period.\ 

Gary Gerken has helped nearly 200 clients across four office 

locations find work in the local area. In addition to that he has 

witnessed, and been required to adapt to, many changes in 

what employers expect when they look for staff, especially 

when it comes to school leavers. When he first started 

working for the organisation there was much less call for 

qualifications and skills, whereas now expectations are much 

higher.

A fundraiser to intsal solar power at the Mullum Civic Centre 

will be held at the hall Saturday April 16 from 6pm. ‘SolarShift’ 

will feature entertainment by The Lucky Wonders, Whales Of 

Pete, Velvet Sand and MC Ty-D. The all ages event is being 

organised by BAYCC (Byron Australian Youth Climate Coalition). 

‘We are a nationwide non-for-profit organisation entirely youthrun 

and youth-led,’ says member Siena Callander. ‘Our mission is 

to build a generation-wide movement to solve climate change 

before it is too late.’ Photo of BAYCC members supplied 

LP recorded in the late forties 

containing the most amazing 

mixture of blues and gospel 

(two genres due to religious 

reasons that never usually 

mixed). There will be something 

for everyone. 

Tell us a little about the process 

of procuring these records 

On my last trip to the US I 

spent two and a half weeks there 

and bought close to 25,000 records 

which filled seven pallets 

and weighed nine tonnes. 

All records are handpicked 

and I luckily have someone in 

the US who helps me in the 

process. 

The strangest encounter I’ve 

had digging for vinyl occurred 

in Miami in a really dodgy 

crack-infested part of town. A 

junk dealer contacted me and 

had a few thousand records in 

the back of her shop. When I 

got there she decided that she 

would lock me in her shop as 

it would be safer for me. I was 

glad that she had such concern 

for my safety and I ended up 

pulling stacks of great funk 

soul disco and hip hop. 

Are they becoming rarer or 

easier now it’s more niche? 

I don’t know if records are 

becoming rarer due to the 

internet but the art for me is 

finding the more obscure and 

interesting joints to supply the 

dedicated collectors who may 

already have thousands of records 

in their collections and 

are after the more left field and 

obscure artists. In saying that 

though the bread-and-butter 

records are Pink Floyd, Led 

Zep, Hendrix etc, and it’s good 

to see teenagers that are buying 

stuff like this too. 

Do you still use record needles 

in light of the growing popularity 

of digital? 

I still play records as a DJ 

as I believe nothing can beat a 

well pressed, well engineered 

piece on vinyl played on a good 

sound system. The bass is fatter, 

there is more dynamic range 

and the music is felt deeper. 

MP3s particularly are by 

their design inferior and combined 

with the loudness wars 

which are happening in music 

production (where every 

sound must be loaded with 

tones of compression), I believe 

we have actually gone 

backwards sonically. 

There are so many young 

kids who have only listened 

to shitty MP3s through shitty 

speakers and headphones on 

their iPods that they have 

never really had the chance to 

really hear the beautiful and 

all-encompassing warmth of 

the analog signal.

Comment/News 

We’ve come a long way since Rodney King 

How access to phone cameras is changing the democratic landscape 

Patrick Gray 

‘Citizen journalism’ is a term 

that has had a lot of press, but 

the practice is older than many 

assume: video of police beating 

Rodney King demonstrated 

the power of the public eye two 

decades ago. 

Th at nearly everyone walking 

the street today is carrying 

a mobile telephone equipped 

with a camera is a bit of a game 

changer. 

These days it’s not unusual 

to see camera-phone footage 

caught by normal citizens used 

in television news bulletins, for 

example. 

But is there a diff erence between 

an ordinary citizen with 

a camera phone and a journalist 

with a camera crew? 

As much as it might bother 

the local constabulary, a 

16-year-old with an iPhone 

has the same rights as a com- 

mercial news crew. 

Th ere are no special rights 

afforded to members of the 

press; the only difference is 

media representatives tend to 

know their rights. 

Citizen journalists need to 

know theirs also. 

In a world where anyone with 

a smartphone can publish footage 

to websites like YouTube 

directly from the device, citizen 

journalism is playing an increasingly 

important role in the 

dissemination of information, 

particularly in countries that 

oppress media freedom. 

Some argue recent events in 

the Middle East were, in part, 

triggered by camera-phone 

footage. 

Th e day aft er a young fruit 

vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, 

self-immolated in protest aft er

to express their outrage at the 

events that lead to Bouazizi’s 

self immolation. 

Th at fi ve-minute video of the 

small protest went viral over Facebook, 

fuelling further protests 

in Tunisia and ultimately a revolt 

that has swept through the 

entire region. 

In the USA, transit police in 

the Californian city of Oakland 

were filmed by camera 

phones fatally shooting unarmed 

man Oscar Grant on 

new year’s day 2009. Without 

the footage it would have been 

diffi cult to lay charges against 

the offi cer involved. 

Saddam Hussein’s last words 

and execution were captured on 

a phone, and while caught by 

a traditional video camera and 

not a phone, raw footage of the 

death of student Neda Agha- 

Soltan during protests against 

widespread electoral fraud in 

Iran went viral on the internet, 

Mullum lane becomes a parking lot 


Mullumbimby residents are 

becoming increasingly frustrated 

with a laneway which 

never seems to be policed for 

parking. 

McGoughans Lane, in the 

heart of town, runs both ways, 

yet is oft en transformed into a 

car-park. Trucks needing to access 

rear lanes as well as pedestrians 

are inconvenienced in a 

town where parking, thanks to 

the construction of Woolworths 

and the new council roundabout, 

is already at a premium. 

Last Th ursday Echo staff witnessed 

two trucks unable to 

manoeuvre their way through 

the laneway, which accesses 

medical facilities, cafes and 

other businesses. 

outraging those who viewed it. 

Agha-Soltan’s portrait became 

the defining image in 

the ultimately failed struggle 

against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s 

regime. 

The sort of transparency 

made possible through citizen 

journalism, combined with 

massive document spills like 

those featured on WikiLeaks, 

fl ips the Big Brother paradigm 

on its head. Instead of the state 

knowing everything about the 

citizen, increasingly the citizen 

knows more and more about 

the state. 

It could very well be the dawn 

of the Little Brother age, and 

authorities need to learn that 

they have nothing to fear from 

transparency. 

If police are doing their jobs 

to the letter of the law, why 

should they care if a 16-yearold 

fi lms them on their mobile 

phone? 

A spokesperson for Byron 

Shire Council told The Echo 

that it’s a no-parking area and 

a fi ne can be issued. Th ey also 

said additional patrols of the 

area will be undertaken to help 

remind traffi c to move on. 

Th e fi ne for parking in a noparking 

zone is $86.

approach sounded puritanical and several mothers and 

commentators reacted angrily. The problem would be male 

drivers rather than the inattention of mothers. 

Also in the attention stakes, NRMA Insurance is urging 

people to be alert around busy streets and traffi c, their 

survey having discovered that one in fi ve pedestrians 

admitted to having a near miss with a car or bus because 

they were distracted by their mobile phone or MP3 player. 

Portable technology is like taking on an extra brain which 

does not necessarily have your best interests at heart. 

The move from words to music and images as the new 

worldview is stunningly illustrated in the fi lm My Suicide, 

in which teenagers juggle a multitude of media as well 

as rampant hormones. The distraction this causes is also 

explored as metaphor in the animated fi lm Up, in which 

dogs are put off the chase by the yelling of ‘Squirrel!’. 

Awash in the new technology we need to ask each day, 

are we distracting ourselves, or is someone yelling ‘Squirrel!’ 

to their own advantage?

DEFENDING 

AGAINST 

INTERGALACTIC 

SEA MONSTERS 

SINCE 1986 

THE ECHO NEWSPAPER 

25 YEARS OF THE PRINTED WORD 

Julia struggles to sell a carbon price 

Comparisons, says Shakespeare’s 

malaprop clown 

Dogberry, are odorous. 

True enough; but what makes 

the current contrast between our 

Prime Minister and her predecessor 

more than usually noisome is 

the fact that while Kevin Rudd in 

his job as foreign minister is generally 

regarded as smelling like a 

rose, Julia Gillard, in the top job, is 

getting just a little bit whiff y. 

Let us state immediately that 

there is very little possibility that 

caucus members will even contemplate 

tossing Gillard into the 

compost heap before the next 

election, and in the highly unlikely 

event that they did so, it would not 

be to reinstall Rudd: the irascible 

tyrant needs a lot more deodorising 

before the party room would 

even consider wearing him again. 

But there is a growing perception 

among the voters that while they 

still feel relatively kindly towards 

their prime minister and would 

genuinely like to see her succeed, 

she may not be quite up to the job. 

The problem may simply be 

one of communication: Gillard is 

just not getting through to her audience. 

She is controlled, plausible 

and clearly on top of her subject, 

but somehow she lacks the clear 

commitment, even the passion, 

which would make her message 

convincing. 

The obvious example is, of 

course, the carbon tax. Her case 

is unassailable: even those who 

profess to fi nd the science of climate 

change unproven agree that 

if you are going to halt the increase 

of carbon dioxide emissions, the 

only eff ective way to do so is to put 

a price on carbon. 

Th e only remaining dispute is 

about whether you do so through 

some kind of emissions trading 

scheme or through a direct tax. In 

Australia, politics decrees that the 

best approach is to start with the 

tax and develop it into a trading 

scheme as conditions change. It 

is straightforward, eff ective and 

above all aff ordable; when a large 

part of the tax is returned to consumers 

as compensation for the 

inevitable price rises, the rich will 

barely notice the diff erence and 

some of the poor might even fi nish 

up ahead. Selling it should be 

like giving away free beer. 

But Gillard, so far at least, has 

not been able to counter Tony 

Abbott’s constant channelling of 

Hanrahan: we’ll all be rooned. 

This is partly because Abbott’s 

sloganeering seems to the incu- 

rious to be borne out by actual 

events. It’s still more than a year 

before any eff ects from the proposed 

carbon tax will kick in, but 

already prices, particularly electricity, 

petrol and food, appear to 

be going through the roof. At least 

some of the increases are actually 

due to delays in implementing the 

tax, but Abbott and his colleagues 

have quite consciously and deliberately 

adopted the strategy of 

blaming the tax for everything: the 

big lie is, as always, the simplest 

approach. 

And as scare campaigns go, it is 

going pretty well and it will continue 

to fl ourish unless and until 

Gillard and her colleagues can 

come up with some hard numbers 

to counter it. And by then, if Abbott 

can establish a public mood 

of fear and mistrust, it may be too 

late. Having paid his respects to 

his personal God every evening, 

Abbott must also breathe a prayer 

of thanks to the fridge magnet that 

gave him the idea: I didn’t say it 

was your fault, I said I was going 

to blame you for it. 

And herein lies Gillard’s oth-

er problem: following Abbott’s 

diatribes about broken election 

promises she is seen not so much 

as a liar, but as malleable, even 

weak. She responds too readily 

to pressure, from her colleagues, 

from her opponents such as the 

miners and now perhaps the pubs 

and clubs, and from the opinion 

polls. Her word cannot be trusted, 

not because she is, like Abbott, 

deliberately mendacious, but because 

she is just as likely to change 

her mind next time she addresses 

the subject. Aft er all, she has certainly 

done so at least once about 

the whole carbon price issue, as 

Rudd rather unnecessarily reminded 

the world last week. 

And the electorate’s disappointment 

is more profound because 

she came to the job with much 

good will and sympathy: our fi rst 

female prime minister thrown in 

at the deep end, in hugely diffi cult 

circumstances and before she was 

fully prepared for the task. We had 

high hopes for her, and she has let 

us down. As Shakespeare put it in 

rather harsher context: Lilies that 

fester smell far worse than weeds. 

But if Gillard is getting a caning 

from the polls, it’s nothing 

compared to what the Greens are 

getting from the loony right wing 

media – and yes, Chris Mitchell, 

we do mean Th e Australian. 

The beleaguered party must 

feel that there is no justice. For 

years it has copped a hammering 

for being a single issue party, a 

bunch of fanatical fringe dwellers 

with no idea or understanding of 

the real process of government. 

But now that it has developed a 

wider social agenda and is on its 

way to becoming a player with 

policies covering most aspects of 

Australian politics, it is lambasted 

for deserting its roots: get back to 

tree-hugging, scream the critics. 

There are several reasons for 

the outburst of unbridled hatred 

from the conservatives, led by the 

usual Mafi osi of News Limited. 

One is simply the fact that Greens 

are a party of the far left , at least in 

Australian terms; this alone makes 

them unacceptable to the professional 

Tories. 

Th e second, obviously, is that 

they are on the brink of assuming 

the balance of power in the senate, 

and like all minority parties 

in hung houses of parliament, will 

obtain clout far beyond their actual 

voter support. At various times 

this has been the case with the 

Country Party (now called Nationals), 

the DLP, the Democrats 

and even individual independent 

senators: Harradine, Fielding and 

Xenophon are names that come 

instantly to mind but there have 

been others. 

Th is travesty of democracy is 

perfectly forgivable when the minority 

is on your side, but if it’s 

not, then expunge it from the face 

of the earth. 

But I suspect the real issue for 

The Australian, or at least for 

many of its columnists, is that 

the Greens are seen as anti-religious; 

they are pagan worshippers 

of Gaia or worse and should be 

stoned to death as blasphemers. 

Actually there are quite a lot of 

seriously Christian greenies, an 

obvious example being Peter Garrett. 

But they don’t count; they 

are merely dupes in the grip of 

the godless communist juggernaut 

now running out of the 

control of its revered and selfl ess 

founders – the ones we used to 

despise as the nutters with fairies 

in the bottom of the garden. 

See, it’s all perfectly logical, at least 

if you work for Th e Australian.

Solar up 

I was thrilled to read that Byron 

Council has plans to introduce 

energy effi cient street 

lights and has already installed 

energy effi cient lighting in the 

Station Street building. 

Wonderful news. But it did 

get me wondering why Council 

doesn’t have a whole raft 

of solar panels on their roof 

– such a beautifully exposed 

to sunlight roof – to set an example 

to the whole community, 

as well as doing the right 

thing by the environment and 

the future. Maybe that’s next. 

Hope springs eternal.

Play the ball 

I’m not surprised Cr Simon 

Richardson chooses personal 

attack rather than focus on the 

issue at hand. I’m getting used 

to that, but I am surprised Th e 

Echo published such a defamatory 

letter (‘Sportfi elds not a 

Greens conspiracy’, April 5). 

The Echo’s news story 

(‘Council still divided over 

sports field’, March 29) was 

about two councillors’ concerns 

over how to best manage 

Council’s fi nances at a very expensive 

project and specifi cally 

why certain councillors keep 

trying to enlarge the project 

when Council is ‘financially 

challenged’. We all support 

arts and sport, that aspect is 

irrelevant. Th e issue is about 

managing public funds. 

My other comment about 

some of the Greens appearing 

to be captured by special 

interest groups relates to witnessing 

some of their voting 

patterns on various property 

development DAs, LEP 

amendments, leases, licences 

and committee appointments. 

Of course they’ll argue their 

votes were based on merit, but 

my perception is diff erent. 

Councillors are bound by a 

Code of Conduct and need to 

declare confl icts of interest. I 

take these matters seriously.

Verging on the ridiculous 

Last Wednesday afternoon, 

while teaching yoga to the 

Mullumbimby high school 

students at the hall next to the 

Uniting church, I had my car 

parked out on the side of the 

road. (Note: not the path, grass 

or the grounds of the church 

but on the side of the road.) 

I came back to my car and 

found this note: 

‘Dear Subaru driving resident 

of Mullumbimby, 

‘I ask with much sympathy 

that you DO NOT park 

your car here for a prolonged 

amount of God’s precious time 

again! Th is is a SACRED SITE 

that is to be shared by Anglicans 

only! And I definitely 

know you are not Anglican by 

the state of your car! 

‘Th is is also an “Alcohol Free 

Zone” and you are not alcohol 

free! Please take my free, 

soulsearching, compassionate 

words into consideration. I 

will pray for you! God always 

forgives.’ 

I was astounded and humoured. 

At first I thought it 

must be a practical joke. What 

do you think? 

Unfortunately the note had 

no legible name or number I 

could respond to so I hope the 

writer of the note reads The 

Echo as I do wish them to know 

how wrong their judgments of 

�� 

�� 

�� 

me are and that their note does 

not inspire me to join the Anglican 

Church, even though 

I have no problems with the 

church (my parents-in-law are 

Anglican themselves and good 

people). 

For the person that wrote 

this note I have a few questions: 

1. How can you tell if someone 

is not Anglican by the state 

of their car? My car has only 

a bit of superficial dirt on it 

due to the fact I drive on dirt 

roads every day. Yes, I live in 

the country and my Anglican 

neighbours have cars as dirty 

as mine. 

2. How can you be so ‘sure’ I 

was ‘not alcohol free’ when you 

have never met me? I hardly 

drink and I certainly was alcohol 

free at the time, when teaching 

yoga. Th ere were no alcohol 

bottles (full or empty) in my car

Is Ocean Shores to be shaft ed on Roundhouse plans? 

�� Well, it looks like the rate 

paying residents of Ocean 

Shores are to be shaft ed again 

by our illustrious councillors. I 

understand that the staff have 

advised the councillors to vote 

against the development of the 

Roundhouse site for a cultural 

centre. Having worked on the 

petition to gather support from 

the community with a result 

of 97 per cent for the cultural 

centre, and having witnessed 

fi rsthand the time, eff ort and 

expertise that has gone into 

putting this project together, 

I just cannot believe or accept 

that the councillors, on the ‘advice’ 

of the staff (who?) are just 

going to blatantly ignore the 

residents again. 

I believe it’s all about money. 

They need to sell off the 

Roundhouse site to developers 

for the cash to help pay for the 

mess they’ve gotten into with 

WHO DO YOU NOMINATE: 

THEIR CONTACT: 

WHY: (50 WORDS MAX) 

the out-of-control sports fi elds. 

Typical. Dear councillors (and 

staff ) you have other assets that 

you can sell off and you know 

this. Give Ocean Shores a fair 

go. Give the rate paying residents 

what they have asked for. 

Your intended action is so 

unfair and so petty. Go sell 

something else off to get you 

out of the crap. I believe we 

will be put in our place at the 

Council meeting Thursday 

April 14. I will be there to see 

you take away the last piece 

of community land in Ocean 

Shores from the community. 

You and your ‘staff ’ are a joke 

and a disgrace.

Protect the beach 

If the new TV advertising campaign 

is ‘Byron Naturally’, we 

shouldn’t drain the contaminated 

swamp off Clarkes Beach 

and resolve this problem. 

Manly successfully pipe 

their stormwater directly into 

the ocean and like Bondi, are 

constantly ‘grading’ the sand 

and maintaining their beaches 

and they look great. So why 

can’t Byron Bay? And while 

you’re there, push all the excess 

sand up the beach and ‘Land 

Care’ will continue their great 

work stabilising and growing 

the sand dunes, preserving the 

beach. Th e 1954 and 1974 cy- 

clones wiped 10-30 metres off 

the beach, so building up the 

sand dunes isn’t a futile exercise, 

it’s a barrier! Th e beach 

here is so beautiful, it’s an attraction 

to be enjoyed by all, 

not a place where toddlers and 

kids are exposed to grade 2 infections. 

Just do it!

Leave the mums alone 

I have a suggestion for the 

‘gutless and rude’ police offi cer 

imposing parking infringements 

on parents dropping off 

their kids at school (page 2 last 

week’s Echo). How about you 

leave the mums alone, they obviously 

aren’t hindering anyone 

by their actions. Instead you 

could drive around the corner 

and target the idiots that keep 

taking two spots up with one 

car. Th ey are everywhere. I’m 

sick of circling endlessly looking 

for a park, spotting countless 

morons who have parked 

badly. And I’m sick of hearing 

about arrogant cops abusing 

their powers too.

Th ey are ‘wonderful assets’, Simon,

majority of Greens on Council

but not doing anything about 

providing these wonderful 

community assets equitably 

across the Shire! 

Th ese are basic community

Ocean Shores, which has a

Myocum, it’s all right now, matter of fact it’s a gas… 

� I am one of the residents 

in Myocum affected by the 

toxic gas from the tip but after 

speaking with Jan Barham 

I realise the problem with this 

council is bigger than just the 

tip smell. Jan told me that the 

first she knew of the tip problem 

was when she saw it on 

the news and when questioning 

Council they said there had 

only been a few calls concerning 

the smell. A few? Personally 

I made at least 20 calls in the 

last three years and all were unanswered. 

Now I find out many 

others have done the same. 

So, of course, we will have to 

stay on this until the problem 

is permanently solved and we 

have to do this because Council 

has shown us that they cannot 

be trusted to do their job. 

There are many stories like this 

around the Byron Shire. The 

fact that they don’t even report 

problematic situations to the 

Mayor shows another degree 

of irresponsibility. 

I am a member of the SES 

and one thing I notice when 

we are working is that it takes 

a long time for us to get physically 

tired and that is because 

of the satisfaction of helping 

people and doing a good hard 

day’s work. It feels better. Hint 

hint. 

Seems to me people in that 

council building spend more 

time avoiding work than just 

doing it. We all pay our rates 

and deserve to be shown respect 

and have the feeling that 

there is a sense of responsibility 

within Council. I don’t 

want one person in Council 

to lose their job. I believe 

they are all capable people but 

if they’d been doing their job 

we wouldn’t be having this 

problem at the tip. So I’m just 

asking politely to the Council, 

please get to work.

��In regard to letters to the editor 

concerning the Myocum 

landfill, the community can 

be assured that Council is addressing 

concerns over odours 

and toxicity claims. The southern 

expansion of the Myocum 

landfill has been constructed to 

NSW standards and is licensed 

and regulated by the Environment 

Protection Authority. As 

a consequence the groundwater 

is regularly monitored and 

reported to the EPA. 

Council has put into action a 

flaring system that will burn off 

up to 99 per cent of the landfill 

gases when installed in April. 

The system will be monitored 

and the EPA and Department 

of Health have been informed 

of the installation of the equipment 

and monitoring. 

The flaring system is used 

widely throughout Australia to 

A Gold Coast gas flare plant. 

burn off gases caused by organic 

matter decomposing in 

landfill. It is not a ‘bandaid’ but 

a recognised way in managing 

landfill gases. 

Closing the landfill will not 

solve the problem. The waste 

will continue to break down 

and create gases with or without 

additional waste being 

placed on the landfill. 

The Myocum landfill has operated 

since the 1970s and currently 

services approximately 

43,500 customers per year. In 

late 1999 the landfill was granted 

consent to expand. In 2000 

it became a transfer station 

and reopened in 2003 until the 

northern area was remediated, 

capped and closed. Mid 2007 

saw the southern expansion 

stage 1 open; the southern expansion 

is a fully engineered 

landfill with a dual liner system 

that meets current EPA standards. 

At the end of last year, 

the southern expansion stage 

2 was approved for operation 

until 2014. 

Several integrated waste 

strategies and education plans 

have been developed and 

implemented over the past 

ten years, copies of which can 

be found on Council’s website 

www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ 

publications/w. 

Currently around 60 per 

cent of the waste generated 

in the Shire is disposed into 

landfill. The better we become 

as a community on reducing, 

reusing and recycling, the less 

waste will be placed into landfill. 

In the meantime, Council 

is committed to providing a 

safe and sustainable landfill for 

the residents of Byron Shire. 

Graeme Faulkner 

General Manager 

Byron Shire Council 

��Apparently decomposing organic 

matter is to blame for recent 

problems at the Myocum 

tip. Given that approximately 

half of what we throw away 

is food and garden waste (according 

to Council’s website) 

it’s no wonder there is an issue. 

I wonder whether those most 

vocal about this issue compost 

their food scraps and garden 

waste? 

It is us, the residents and 

businesses of the Shire, who 

are responsible for the tonnes 

upon tonnes of organic matter 

being sent to Myocum landfill 

causing this problem. Stuffing 

your wheelie bins with lawn 

clippings and food waste is 

not just ignorant or lazy; it’s 

toxic to the environment and 

to the health of members of 

our community. 

Rather than seeking hightech 

solutions to a pretty basic 

problem how about we 

take some responsibility? If 

you need help getting started 

Council offers subsidised 

compost bins and worm farms 

and free compost workshops 

(advertised within the letters 

pages of last week’s Echo). Myocum 

residents, you are quite 

entitled to point the finger of 

blame but let’s point it at the 

real problem.

of dollars of ratepayers’ money

very easy request to fi ll, if the

High demands 

As I peruse the local media 

it appears to me that the 

only people who talk about 

the ‘green’ council are those 

who are psychologically opposed, 

for whatever reason, to 

the Greens Party. To call this 

Council green is an exaggeration 

and a denigration. 

They set impossibly high 

demands on a fi nancially constrained 

entity and express 

schadenfreude at each failure. 

From what I read this council 

is as well balanced as any and 

in a democracy the fi ner the 

balance the more diffi cult it is 

to achieve real change.

Love farmers markets 

Ten good reasons to go to the 

local farmers markets when it’s 

raining: 

1. Your favourite food might 

still be there if you sleep in and 

turn up late. 

2. Magical moments happen 

when sheltering under stalls. 

3. People seem more friendly. 

4. It’s fun to walk barefoot in 

muddy puddles. 

5.The music is always 

excellent. 

6. You get the pick of the 

produce. 

7. You can park closer than 

normal. 

8. It’s fun to put on your 

funky old gum boots. 

9. Shopping in the rain sure 

beats shopping in sterile, fl uorescent 

lit, heartless aisles for 

highly processed, overly-packaged, 

imported food. 

10. Last but not least you 

support the farmers who come 

rain, hail or shine. 

I overheard one stallholder 

at Mullumbimby saying if they 

didn’t come when they thought 

it might rain, they’d never get 

here. A special thank you to all 

our dedicated, hard working, 

friendly farmers. 

I think the farmers markets 

are fantastic. However, I reckon 

they could be even better 

if they made them plastic bag 

free. It doesn’t take much to 

train people to bring their own 

bags.

really calling it as it is – capitalism. 

Today’s political and economic 

commentators usually 

refer to it as the ‘market’, so as 

to obscure the historical lineage 

of capitalism’s sordid and 

exploitative past. 

The interview continues 

with Ms Norberg-Hodge 

stating ‘the movement’ will 

change the economic system. 

Then proceeds to proclaim 

the ‘middle classes’ will be 

the agents of change towards 

environmental and economic 

sustainability, when 

many of these are the main 

benefi ciaries of the economic 

system, many aspiring to 

greater conspicuous, narcissistic 

consumerism. For Ms 

Norberg-Hodge, having the 

‘time’ and ‘money’ as one of 

these privileged persons has 

allowed her to indulge in these 

loft y utopian pursuits without 

seriously investigating the 

fundamental causes and solutions 

in a political sense of 

these crises – inequality, social 

injustice, poverty, exploitation, 

un(under)employment, 

homelessness, environmental 

degradation. 

If going back to the past, 

feudal Ladakh, which she so 

fondly refers to as her solution, 

is ‘liberating’, then it further 

displays her ignorance of the 

social relations rift that existed 

under this backward-looking 

social system.

Comment 

Byron Council hits money pothole 

Wondering why roads and other infrastructure are not being maintained to a higher 

standard? Chair of Council’s newly formed Finance Committee, Independent Councillor Basil 

Cameron, looks at the fi nancial challenges facing Councillors. 

Councillors have recently 

had to confront the 

financial reality that 

Council’s expenditure is 

unsustainable. Th is is indicated 

from the headline figures 

contained in the draft 2011/2012 

budget that projects a defi cit 

of $26,000 and a reduction in 

working funds of $750,000. 

As a one-off in the ebb and 

flow of financial demands 

from year to year, this result 

would not necessarily indicate 

a major problem. However 

the situation looks likely 

to persist as the result masks 

some longer term problems. 

Chief among these is the $7 

million needed to maintain 

roads, drains and community 

facilities to a minimum standard 

that is not currently being 

funded. Each year the total 

for unfunded infrastructure 

maintenance is growing and 

each year our infrastructure 

shows more signs of insuffi 

cient attention, as residents 

already know. 

The problem has been 

known about for some time, 

but councillors have been slow 

to appreciate the need to address 

the longer term issues. In 

the interim, further unsustainable 

spending has continued to 

make the problem worse. Most 

notably the decision to proceed 

with the Byron Regional Sports 

and Cultural Centre (BRSCC) 

at Ewingsdale on a scale that 

was unnecessary and without 

having fi rst developed a sound 

business plan as to how the facility 

was to be maintained into 

the future. Federal funding has 

been substantial at $9.5 million 

and we could have achieved a 

lot for the money without additional 

spending of $7.4 million 

funded in part by a loan. 

While over $550,000 worth 

of road funding removed from 

last year’s budget has been 

added to the infrastructure 

backlog without any funding 

in this year’s budget, additional 

expenditure of $200,000 for 

$1950

maintenance of the sports centre 

has been included. Th is fi gure 

is likely to at least double 

in future years as the centre 

becomes operational. Without 

action, this will continue 

to come at the cost of essential 

infrastructure funding. 

Some short-term relief 

may come in the form of 

state government approval 

of Council’s application 

for an additional rate rise 

of 2.45 per cent above rate 

pegging; however, this would 

only be sufficient to restore 

working funds over several 

years without rectifying the 

infrastructure funding gap. 

It should not be seen as a 

long-term solution. There 

are also worrying signs of a 

kneejerk reaction from some 

councillors on both ends of 

the political spectrum. Having 

realised the need to act, they 

may seek to cut services 

they do not support so as to 

restore working funds, but 

without adjusting spending 

to ensure that infrastructure 

maintenance is better funded. 

Beware of the seductive trap 

that’s behind rallying calls of 

‘roads, rates and rubbish’. An 

alternative approach might be 

to trim expenditure generally 

and minimise the impact on 

the community by continuing 

the most important services 

on a lower cost or cost neutral 

basis while addressing the 

longer term underlying causes. 

One of the most signifi cant 

contributors to the 

problem is the high numbers 

of visitors to the Shire and 

their impact on existing 

infrastructure. This is 

estimated to be 28 per cent 

of total costs of wear and 

tear each year and remains 

unfunded due to the lack of 

a mechanism for visitors to 

make a contribution. Council’s 

Tourism Management Plan 

provides a way forward and 

community consultation 

will begin shortly on how to 

implement a tourism levy. It 

is hoped that councillors will 

recognise the value of this 

much needed reform, which 

if able to be implemented, 

would provide a sound basis 

for improved fi nancial health, 

services and infrastructure. 

A concerted effort needs 

to be made to develop a sustainable 

business plan for the 

BRSCC. Currently the centre 

is ‘cultural’ in name only as 

virtually no attention has been 

paid to design and equipment

so that the centre can function 

as a performing arts space. Yet 

it is this aspect that could provide 

the greatest potential to 

generate revenues to off set the 

cost of keeping the doors open. 

Greater effort could also 

be made to ensure that all 

Financial Assistance Grants 

provided for local roads are 

actually spent on local roads. 

Th ere is also a danger that if 

overall funding for roads were 

to drop too low, Roads To Recovery 

funding of several million 

dollars a year that is currently 

used to fund cycleway 

and road development could 

be withdrawn. 

It is also hoped that the new 

Minister for Local Government, 

Don Page, will assist 

Council to introduce a tourism 

levy as well as tackle the 

perennial issues of cost shift ing 

and unnecessary red tape that 

add much to the cost of local 

government. 

Councillors are not as powerless 

as they are sometimes 

portrayed. It is we who decide 

future expenditure. With 

greater focus on the long-term 

challenges, we are capable of 

making improvements that will 

benefi t the whole community.

Hydro-electricity might be 

an option but it seems very unlikely 

that the Greens would 

support building dams across 

the Tweed, Richmond or Clarence 

rivers. Nor would they be 

keen on the run-of-river hydro 

systems as used by Mullumbimby 

before the days of the 

grid back in the 1920s. 

We don’t have the right 

geological formations in this 

region for geothermal power 

so that option isn’t available 

either. 

No doubt one day someone 

will build a wave power system 

off the bay with government 

largesse, assuming the environmentalists 

allow it of course. 

The investors may eventually 

discover that it’s no more financially 

viable than bagasse 

or solar. 

Our increasing demand for 

electricity over the next decade 

won’t go away however 

efficient we become. Electric 

vehicles alone will see to that. 

So that leaves us with no option 

but to take more power 

from the north or south over

of course, we built a small

Long live freedom 

Dear Echo, just like to let you 

know that the letters last week 

�� 

For a brighter future 

objecting to your caricature 

joke against ‘Osho and Sannyas’, 

are not ‘representative’ 

voices of sannyas as a whole. 

In fact any ‘representative’ 

voice should be near impossible 

in sannyas, as Osho was 

so strongly pro-individualism 

and ferociously anti ‘group 

think’. 

This however will not stop 

some ‘individuals’, as in any 

group (including I’m sure at 

The Echo too) trying to assert 

their ‘group think’ suppressive 

dictates upon others. 

And unfortunately with some 

individuals this can give rise 

to a violence that attempts to 

enrol others in their ‘perceived 

community’ to hate something 

or someone that they 

are personally and reactively 

offended by. (Perhaps David 

Lovejoy might himself wish 

to look into this point also.) 

In this case the originator of 

these letters even attempted 

to promote a not-to0-subtle 

boycott against The Echo. Sad 

stuff! 

If I could apologise on behalf 

of Osho and Sannyasins I 

would but, as I’ve stated, that’s 

impossible. They are but individuals, 

no more than that. 

And for the record, most of 

the (individual) voices I’ve 

heard in sannyas are a little 

embarrassed by these public 

letters and strongly of the 

opinion that Osho would only 

enjoy a good laugh about it all 

My ‘individual’ belief is 

that your attack on Osho is a 

compliment to him. Explaining 

that will exceed the word 

limits here, but a good pointer 

may be found by viewing 

author Tom Robbins’s movie 

about Osho called OSHO: 

Tom Robbins about Indian 

mystic Osho. A five minute 

YouTube clip covers it pretty 

well. 

Love to you, Echo, and readers. 

May your freedoms not be 

suppressed. May you not suppress 

other’s freedoms, too.

hoot. There they go, jogging 

along, earphones on, dog in 

tow, dog stops, craps and continues 

on and the owner is 

blissfully unaware of the landmine 

left behind for someone 

else to worry about. Or else it’s 

the ‘I dont give a f…’ attitude. 

I’ve seen it time and time 

again, people and sometimes 

families walking with their 

pets and letting them go 

without bothering to pick it 

up. There are bins provided 

and doggie bags as well. How 

bloody hard is it? 

Pick up your dogs’ crap, 

people. Where is the ranger? 

Never see him. Perhaps a few 

fines handed out might do the 

trick. Nothing else seems to 

work.

No fracking way 

I’m writing to inform of a very 

shocking situation happening 

in our beautiful Australia. It is 

coal seam gas mining and it is 

becoming a growing industry. 

There are reports of groundwater, 

air and surface contamination 

due to the drilling in 

Queensland. 

The people that thought 

they own their land have no 

rights. The gas companies can 

claim land and mineral rights 

without consulting communities 

and getting consent from 

the people. This is outright injustice. 

This is environmental 

terrorism. 

This is about protecting our 

future of our land, our water. 

There is a blockade that has 

formed at one of these sites in 

Tara, Queensland. Drew Hutton 

(Friends of the Earth), a 

longtime veteran activist and 

environmental crusader, is involved 

in the blockade and has 

said that this mining problem 

‘is the biggest environmental 

campaign in Australian history’. 

This is a crisis. People are 

getting sick. Several major energy 

companies hold exploration 

permits over large tracts 

of prime agricultural and residential 

land in Northern NSW. 

Arrow Energy (a subsidiary of 

Apollo Gas) has five known 

drilling sites surrounding Casino, 

Lismore and Kyogle to 

test for availability of CSG. In 

Queensland there is concern 

of it contaminating the Great 

Artesian basin that lies under 

22 per cent of Australia and 

is the only relaible source of 

water in arid/semi-arid areas. 

What can we do about it? 

Join the blockade that needs 

more people, write a letter, 

sign a petition. Please do what 

you can. 

There is more information 

on the following sites, which 

includes facts, and even a letter 

of objection which can be 

downloaded and changed to 

suit yourself to send to the 

government. There is a moving 

documentary from the 

US called Gaslands which unveils 

the truth of this industry.

Alcohol and teenagers 

Mandy Nolan 

Every year for the last decade 

Byron has rated as one of the 

highest per capita in incidences 

of reported drink-driving offences 

in NSW. Inspector Bill 

Darnell of Tweed Command 

remarked that what was most 

surprising was that in an area 

of high levels of tourism that 

‘63 per cent of offenders were 

local. We have previously had 

the perception that because we 

had a high rate of tourism that 

we weren’t educating visitors.’ 

But perhaps it’s our local 

community that are lacking 

sufficient alcohol education. 

Nicqui Yasdi is the team 

leader for BUDDI, Byron Underage 

Drinking and Drug Initiative, 

a program which has 

been operating since 2008. 

Parents unaware 

She believes that parents are 

behind the eight ball when it 

comes to disseminating information 

to their kids, and are 

often unaware of the negative 

effects of their own alcohol and 

drug-taking role modelling, 

‘Parents need more education 

– they need to know 

what they are looking at and 

the right tools to talk to their 

young people and give them 

the right advice. As a parent 

you have to keep in the know 

of what is going on. 

‘All kids think they are invincible, 

they think that won’t 

happen to me.’ 

In a town idealised for its 

counterculture, its focus on 

health and spirituality, it seems 

ironic that so many young people 

are choosing to drink alco- 

hol years before they are legally 

permitted to do so. 

‘I think the drug problem 

in Byron is getting bigger,’ says 

Nicqui. ‘I think it’s changed 

though, but I do think alcohol 

is the biggest problem. 

‘Young people are starting 

to drink at around 13 and it’s 

pretty much everywhere. In 

our parks and in our public 

spaces, and of course, drinking 

at home.’ 

For parents it is important 

to role model and clarify your 

position around the use of alcohol. 

‘There are parents who 

regularly buy alcohol for their 

under-age children,’ said Niqui. 

Enabling drinking 

‘What they have actually 

proven is that by allowing your 

young person to drink in anyway 

shape or form you are giving 

them permission to drink. 

You are enabling them in any 

other situation to pick up a 

drink. If you stick to your guns 

in the home, that can work out 

side of the home as well.’ 

According to Nicqui, our 

transient population makes 

it far too easy for our young 

people to access alcohol unchecked. 

‘The kids tell me that it is 

very very easy for them to get 

alcohol off random strangers, 

particularly backpackers – for 

an extra few dollars they will 

buy alcohol for them.’ 

While underage drinking 

is a firm reality in our community, 

it’s important, Nicqui 

believes, to recognise the potential 

harms. 

‘I have a view that the age 

Immerse yourself in our Hinterland haven 

restriction of alcohol is 18 because 

the the brain is still forming. 

The younger they drink it’s 

been shown that the kids have 

a much greater risk of ending 

up with substance use disorders 

and mental health issues 

later in life. 

‘The median age for substance 

abuse problems is 18. 

Fifty per cent of all substance 

abuse problems are already 

there by that time. They are the 

highest consumers of alcohol 

in our community .’ 

Nicqui also pointed to increased 

levels of Ecstasy consumption 

amongst young 

people, and what she perceived 

as a marked decrease in marijuana 

use. As a drug and alcohol 

educator Ms Yasdi also 

expressed concern over the 

consumption of ‘energy drinks’ 

by young people. 

Energy effects 

‘Because of the way teenagers 

metabolise alcohol they 

can consume 35 per cent more 

alcohol before they feel the 

effects. When you add in energy 

drinks (used as a drink 

mix), containing caffeine, taurine 

and guarana, those drugs 

increase that young person’s 

ability to take in more alcohol. 

They can drink 70 per cent 

more than an adult before they 

feel the effects but when it does 

it slams them.’ 

� These issues and others will 

be discussed at The Echo’s next 

social forum, ‘Are We Failing 

Our Kids?’, chaired by Mandy 

Nolan, at the Byron Community 

Centre on Thursday 28 

April 28 at 7pm.

Vicki Mortimer, Harveyworld Banora has just returned from 

another successful small group escorted journey to the South of

LONDON-BORN TO NIGERIAN PARENTS, GINA YASHERE 

STARTED OUT HER ADULT CAREER AS AN ELEVATOR 

ENGINEER. WHEN SHE FOUND HERSELF STEPPING 

INTO THE SPOTLIGHT AS A STANDUP COMEDIAN, LIKE 

WITH HER PREVIOUS ROLE, THE ONLY WAY FOR MS 

YASHERE WAS UP. SHE’S A FUNNY GIRL WITH A LUCKY 

STREAK A MILE LONG. 

Gina, what are your life’s greatest passions? Food, food, food, travelling, doing 

nothing. 

What do you think are your major strengths as a comedian and/or as a person? My 

likeability – you can get away with a lot more on stage if the audience actually likes you. 

SAT 16 APRIL 

THE HOLIDAYS & 

GOLD FIELDS 

E N T E R T A I N M E N T 7 

Also I’m very good at improvising, so that makes every show a little diff erent, and it’s more 

fun for me and the audience. Plus my material is banging! 

Is there much of a disconnect between the Gina we see on stage and the Gina who’s 

lining up for a plate of raw food? Not much – on stage is a more heightened version of 

myself, but I’m a pretty happy person off stage, not one of those manic depressive comics. 

Is it hard for a woman with such a high profi le as a comedian to have relationships? 

Do partners need to be especially tuned in to the fact they may become material 

one day? It’s not too hard regarding material – everyone in my life knows that they are 

probably going to end up in my act, so they have to have a sense of humour…and if not… 

tough shit! But I’m not horrible about people, so they don’t mind…yet. 

Do ex-partners become material? Not really. I try to make my material a bit broader, 

and do stuff which hopefully no-one else is doing. 

A criticism of women comics is that we all talk about sex, ex-boyfriends, hating men and 

our cycles…which in my opinion is rubbish…most male comics talk about their genitalia, 

sex, sex, sex, drinking, drugs, women and sex – nobody moans about that. 

How much of your life experience makes it to the routine? How do you draw a 

line? Most of my life experience, if I can make it funny, and it doesn’t piss off my family 

too much (as they have normal jobs, so have to face in the workplace the stuff I fl ippantly 

reveal into the public domain) goes into my act. I don’t draw too many lines – hence my 

having an extended routine on my colonic irrigations. 

I’ve always thought of good comedians as being anarchic philosophers of sorts. 

Have you always had a lot to say? I’ve always had a lot to say, but I don’t see myself as a 

philosopher – just your mouthy next door neighbour. 

What’s a typical day in the life of Gina Y? If I’m home in LA: get up, make a smoothie, 

spend 12 hours on Facebook, watch TV, maybe go to lunch somewhere, go do a show, go 

to bed. If I’m on the road: get up, BUY a smoothie, spend 12 hours on Facebook, watch TV, 

go to lunch somewhere, do a show, go to bed. Pretty boring really. 

Have you clear goals around your career as a comedian? What are they? To make 

lots of money doing as little as possible. I’d love an Ellen-type talk show, and then sell 

out arenas in my spare time. That’s it. No movie stardom and people going through my 

trash…none of that palava. Enough money and fame to get me into the best restaurants, 

but not so much that people have online surveys about what I eat, and whether it’s given 

me cellulite. 

How do you handle disappointment? I rant, get pissed off , then I go ‘fuck it’ and move 

on. 

Why do you think you ended up as a comedian? Does it still surprise you? I always 

knew I was funny, but didn’t realise you could make a career out of it, so I was an engineer 

for a few years. When I started, my whole psyche was like ‘ahhhhh’. This was what I was 

made for, so no, I’m not surprised the universe works the way it’s supposed to. 

What keeps you going? I love what I do, and I think I’m the best, and won’t stop till 

everyone knows. 

Five people for a dinner party…who are they? Everyone else would say Nelson 

Mandela, Obama, Stephen Hawking, Dalai Lama etc. But fuck that! I’m not that clever 

and wouldn’t understand a word of the conversation. Anyone who is dumber than me 

and who I can spend the evening making fun of. Any reality TV contestants…and Charlie 

Sheen. 

Five people you’d audition to give you a foot massage…who are they? I’m not 

getting my feet out for ANYONE – my toes look like the dinosaur’s from Jurassic Park.

MICHAEL HOHNEN 

SPOKE WITH SEVEN 

ABOUT THE ENIGMA 

THAT IS GEOFFREY 

GURRUMUL 

YUNUPINGU. 

Singing 

us home 

Why does Gurrumul do so few interviews? He doesn’t want to 

commit his thoughts to the public when he has no idea how they will 

be received. He doesn’t want to talk about things because he is blind 

and doesn’t know and can’t see face to face how his answers will be 

interpreted. He is someone who defers things in his life to different 

people, including his uncle, his brothers, myself, his manager and his 

family, both in a traditional and in a Western sense. 

I am so aware of Gurrumul’s voice in his music – his quietness on 

the public stage seems to have made his presence even louder. 

Do you think this is part of the mystique that makes him a bit of a 

musical enigma? This is a difficult one. He has a mystique, there is no 

doubt, even when you meet him and it is nothing to do with music. He 

carries himself in a unique way. He is very aware of his surroundings, 

and he subtly lets you know this. His musical enigma comes from his 

personality. His music was described by Nicholas Rothwell once as 

almost ‘anti-music’. This has to be enigmatic, doesn’t it? 

Musicians love talking about themselves and their art – it’s like he’s 

devoid of the usual rock star ego? He has an ego. It is more of a pride 

and a growing confidence than anything else. After so many accolades, 

and compliments from all walks of life ever since he was a little boy, he 

is very aware of what people think of his talent, yet when I am with him 

and I witness someone speaking to him and giving him feedback on 

the effect his music has had, then it is like he is hearing it for the first 

time, and he will often gleam, and proudly recount the event at a later 

time. 

Does he know what you say on his behalf, meaning do you have 

to check, or is your relationship built on a trust where your voice 

becomes his? He has been at lots of interviews that I have done. He 

listens to a lot I do on the phone. When we are together I read him 

soAP 

boX 

I am at a distinct social disadvantage. It’s a small town and I have a 

relatively high profile. I am the human equivalent of the Big Prawn. I 

have become Izzy Dye. People even say to my kids on the school bus 

‘wow you’re Mandy Nolan’s kids. You must be rich’. Yep, that’s why 

we live in a rented property in the middle of Mullumbimby with a 

chicken wire fence. 

Visibility should never be confused with celebrity. I’m not famous. I’m 

just obvious. I’m used to it. I grew up in a Queensland country town 

where I was the only girl in the whole village with a neck. I’m 6 foot 

tall, so it’s always been hard to ‘blend in’ with the natives. 

But that’s not my problem. What challenges me most is that everyone 

knows my name. Small children, grandmothers, school kids, mums, 

butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, all seem to know ‘Mandy Nolan’. 

The problem is, I don’t always know them. Even after I’ve met them a 

few times. Or taught them. Or performed at their function. Or given 

birth to their child. 

And when you live in a small community it’s embarrassing when you 

stumble on someone’s name when they confidently say yours. There 

are people I have known for years, and I don’t have a clue who they 

are. Last week I had a friend pop over for a cup of tea and I couldn’t 

for the life of me remember her name. Then another friend came by. 

Of course they didn’t know each other and so I was forced to make a 

very painful introduction. 

In the past I went for the offhand ‘why don’t we abandon formalities 

and you two introduce yourselves?’ But that’s just like signposting 

my rudeness. You see, people are hurt if you don’t know their names. 

They feel insignificant and unimportant. If you don’t remember 

someone’s name it means that they are forgettable. It means they 

weren’t important enough to commit to memory. 

When I didn’t remember someone’s name I once admitted it to the 

person and she looked at me sadly ‘that’s okay, I am sure you meet a 

my answers. But there are many that he hears about 

afterwards. If there are questions specific to his history 

that I don’t know then I have to try to get answers 

from him, but normally things like questions about 

day-to-day things in his life or his history he won’t 

answer. He doesn’t know why people want to know 

these, and why they’re asked time and time again. I 

am happy to answer the repetitive questions for him 

but on everything else I refer to him still a lot. He told 

me that he is very happy with the Rolling Stone article. 

That took days for us to put together and I got a few 

answers from him. His reaction to RS helps me answer 

other things that come up. He affirms his confidence 

in me often. 

Very few artists would be allowed the freedom that 

Gurrumul has, to record when he feels its the right 

time, to speak rarely to interviewers. How did you 

develop that sensitivity to his creative process? 

I try to look at any situation with an open mind. I 

know what he likes and what he is capable of doing. 

Going with what suits him, not us. I also believe in 

relationships where if you go more than halfway, 

then you may get more from someone. 

Neither of us wants to go off touring for 

ten months of the year, and so we start 

looking at how to do enough to fulfill 

some kind of media and promotional 

and concert commitments without 

doing too much. He is the antithesis of what most 

artists are in lots of ways – wanting to ‘make it’ push 

and present their art or music and to get a reaction 

from them. With Gurrumul it is more about Mark and 

me at Skinnyfish having set up a label to be able to 

work with artists as an artist support label, and present 

what is special in the relationships with have with 

Aboriginal people. In Gurrumul’s case it just took off. 

You speak about the ‘right time’. It is amazing to me how 

often things don’t happen when I feel that they should, mainly 

because of a decision he has made – or not made, and then 

something else happens and it is then a more ideal time, and things 

fall into place for him and us. 

It is funny. I listened to the album last night – the new one we’re about 

to release – and it sounds so unlike anything that is likely to be in 

the charts, or chart at all in a mainstream sense, yet there is so much 

interest in it that it may well enter the charts and the whole industry 

in a bigger way than the first album did. When I look at this from an 

objective outsider’s perspective it still surprises me. 

What do you think it is about Gurrumul that resonates so deeply 

with his listening public? Is it the quiet but deeply spiritual stories 

of our country? Longing. Not just his but everybody’s. Everybody in 

some way longs to be back to the basics, back to more of a simpler 

spiritual life, to have the connection with the land, with family, with 

ancestors. No-one really has it. Here along comes Gurrumul saying I 

have it. And I feel it. He has a voice that is touching, nostalgia-inducing 

and we then have tried to produce it in a beautiful way, with honesty 

and not compressed or bright. That’s my quick guess anyway. 

Mandy Nolan 

WHAT'S 'ER NAME? 

lot of people’. The inference was that she didn’t. Clearly I was terribly 

important, way too important to remember her dreary name. I felt 

dreadful. So dreadful all I could think about was how bad I felt for not 

remembering her name, and then I forgot it again and had to ask her 

a second time. By the end of our brief encounter the poor woman 

needed a self-esteem transplant. 

We all use the affectionate coverups as compensation for a missing 

moniker. ‘Darl’, ‘Mate’, ‘Sweetheart’, ‘Love’. But they’re annoying. People 

hate these shallow attempts at affection from semi-strangers who 

don’t know who they are. I am a serial offender. I’ll see someone, 

and I’ll know that I am supposed to know who they are, then I have 

a panic attack, consider crossing the road, all the while scanning my 

brain for any information that might jog a flashback. ‘Sally, Sarah, 

Siana, no no, it’s kind of hippy, Sesame, Serendipity, like silence. 

Serenity. It’s Serenity.’ 

I’m so relieved I use their name five times in the same sentence. 

Then they stop and look at me with disdain. ‘Oh, that’s what I used to 

be called. I’ve changed my name’. You are fricking kidding. It’s hard 

enough remembering the first name, then people go and change 

it. I used to know a girl called Deb. We worked together schlepping 

burgers at Ringos. Then she changed her name. Every time I called 

her Deb she scowled at me. She’d changed her name. She had told 

me around 10 times but I couldn’t remember, it was too weird. The 

only way I could remember was that it rhymes with that dry biscuit 

my Nanna used to eat with sliced tomato: Ryvita. 

I’m all for name tags. I love them. I’d wear one every day. In fact I’m 

pushing for the council to make it compulsory for all residents to 

wear one. Sort of like parking permits. And if you don’t have yours on 

the Ranger will chalk your leg and hit you with a fine. So when I see 

you next and I look longingly into your eyes for a clue, please, please, 

tell me your name. (That also goes for my kids.) 

How does a man like Gurrumul tour without feeling disconnected 

and alienated from his place? He strikes me as a man for whom 

country and family are part of his soul. How do you marry this with 

a life on the road? He is a man in two worlds so the touring is okay; 

if it is not too long he is fine with it. in some ways he loves touring. He 

loves the industry. He just doesn’t want it to consume him. And he 

won’t let it. He won’t let anything control his life, as he has what I would 

say is a safety valve or a protection mechanism that kicks in when he 

is not comfortable with something. Nearly always his intuition is right. 

But he treats being on the road as part of his life as a musician, and he 

sees that this is his calling. 

What is Geoffrey Gurrumul’s plan for his musical career – is it 

intuitive, is it strategic…? There is no definitive plan. He listens to 

proposals and decides on them one at at time. We can’t plan much 

given this is how things work. 

It has to be calm with no high-pressure expectations, but he has 

agreed to some things later this year, which is unusual. He is busting 

to do some touring soon, actually, and if you could plan a big tour a 

few days in advance then we would be doing a lot more because he 

is often ready to go when we have no hope of organising something 

quickly enough. 

What inspires Gurrumul in the songwriting process? 

His old songs from his upbringing, his favourite artists’ 

songs. His family. And the enormous song tradition 

of his own culture. There are probably 1000 more 

songs there waiting to be presented! 

What amazes you most about Gurrumul’s 

ability to create music, and his process? 

Nothing amazes me about that but I love how 

in tune he is with his musical talent and skill, 

and when he is in the right environment how 

he can tap into this like the best musicians in 

the world can. 

When producing Gurrumul’s first album, 

did you have any idea that he would become 

such a high-profile musician? In a small way I 

had that feeling that day I had finished it. But not 

in a big way because I always thought a language album 

just would not permeate the mainstream. Just think – Aboriginal. Not 

English. No hope – on paper – in Australia. 

Does this new album have the same qualities of the first? Some 

of the same qualities of the first, but this is just more Gurrumul, and 

less me. He plays beautiful grand piano, drums and more backing 

vocals. More multi-instrumental, more varied and more of a deep, 

tough body of work. We thought about a whole heap of different ways 

of presenting the second album, but ended up choosing to just be 

acoustic, and not hyped. 

What should we expect for Gurrumul’s Bluesfest show? He will have 

his same trio of acoustic guitars and double bass, but then he may well 

be joined by some other special musicians as guests. I can’t say more 

than that. I have asked for a piano on stage. One of the rarer moments 

will be his performances on the Sun and Moon with the Saltwater 

Band. Although he is considered a key member of the band he rarely 

performs with them these days. Byron Bay will probably be the only 

time he jumps on stage with them this year – it’s a great chance for 

fans to watch Gurrumul in his upbeat mode.

Clay Blyth is no stranger to the East Coast music scene. With years 

of touring under his belt, Clay’s reputation grows as a singer/ 

songwriter in every performance. His combination of vocals, guitar, 

lap slide guitar, feet rhythms and harmonica 

create a unique blend of blues/rock and folk 

ballads. See Clay at Woody’s Surf Shack on 

Thursday. 

Cartwheels for the Cartel 

The Tijuana Cartel have built a fi rm 

reputation for beats that span the globe. 

Multi-layered grooves, touches of slide and

Cuban percussion mixed with some hardened 

electronica – it’s a combo that’s intriguing, 

energetic and utterly delicious! Constant 

touring here and abroad and an enduring love 

aff air with live gigs give these guys a very raw 

and electric energy. Friday Beach Hotel.

If we took a Holiday 

The Holidays self-produced debut album Post Paradise has proven 

to be a critics' favourite and ended last year picking up The Age EG 

award for ‘Best Album’ and landing the year’s final Triple J Feature 

Album. The album also received ‘Album of the Week’ in Drum 

Media. Special guests on the forthcoming national tour will be 

Ballarat’s Gold Fields who have also been scoring widespread radio 

support for their debut single Treehouse. See both at the Hotel 

Great Northern on Saturday. 

Clap your Handasyd 

Handasyd Williams and The Brothers Primitive are essentially 

a band of ex-rockers now consumed with playing alternative 

country rock. They seem to adhere to the Americana Alt-Country 

ethos quite strongly, playing rough-cut contemporary songs with a 

distinct Country tinge to them. 

With a folky ballad here and some dirge-like punk rock there, the 

only constant is Handasyd’s voice, warbling some unique and 

congruent melodies with a definite darker hue than your standard 

country hoke or blues drone. Handasyd Williams has indicated a 

mid-year release for an album together with The Brothers Primitive. 

Catch them at The Brewery on Saturday. 

Sounds like Gold 

The concept behind Golden Sound’s record Bathing in Goodness 

was to bring together and collaborate with all of the talented 

musicians and create a record with a vintage sound and golden 

feel. Think Fender Rhodes, Clavinets and Moog Synths, swirling to 

create a palette of Sonic Richness. Think Beach Hotel on Saturday.

Drapt,The Ayems Records and Fidelity Corporation are 

incredibly proud and happy to announce the release of Drapht’s 

new studio album The Life of Riley, as well as the tour to launch said 

album; and the best way to celebrate a new album is to get out and 

tour it, so Drapht is leaving no stone unturned on that front. This 

is a large tour with a large line-up, with Drapht enlisting his good 

friends Mantra and The Tongue as support. See them at the Hotel

WITH LILITH 

Since his retirement from professional 

chess in 2005, former 

World Champion Garry Kasparov 

(above) has been a prominent 

spokesman criticising the government 

of Vladimir Putin. 

Kasparov and the organisation 

he advances, The Other Russia, 

have been a thorn in the side of 

the Russian government – albeit a 

minor one – with demonstrations 

broken up violently and Kasparov 

refused permission to stand in the 

2008 presidential elections. 

However, Kasparov has always 

found a willing outlet for his political 

opinions in the USA, with the 

Wall Street Journal in particular 

WAREHOUSE 

CLEARANCE CENTRE 

��ARIES: Five planets in your fi ery sign makes it hard to stay 

patient, but this week rewards good behaviour so tune into 

its tender, aff ectionate, giving and forgiving Venus vibes to 

restore accord where there’s been friction, to show and tell 

others how much you value them. 

��TAURUS:Things that formerly seemed important could 

lose their imperative this week as new perspectives and 

realizations emerge. If you’re noticing a credibility gap 

between your actual life and your splendid unused potential, 

then listen to your business instincts, put on your practical hat 

and get cracking. 

�� GEMINI: You’re the sign of Twins and this week it pays to 

think in twos. Firstly as in seeing the other person’s needs 

and viewpoint. And secondly when verbalising complaints 

to remember that criticism’s always more acceptable when 

delivered sandwiched between a couple of compliments. 

��CANCER: Fortunately this week’s tempestuous types respond 

positively to the appreciative sweet talk you do so well, so be 

guided by the Cancerian Dalai Lama’s ever sensible advice: 

Work very hard to make the world a better place. But if all your 

eff orts fail, no hard feelings! 

�� LEO: Will this exuberant, let’s do it week get Your Majesty 

buzzing? Like anything. But resist being hasty or outspoken 

because the atmosphere’s combustible and a careless 

comment could shatter goodwill. Blend outrageous with 

opportunistic and you’ll blitz the competition by attracting 

glamorous support and backing. 

�� VIRGO: Feelings run hot and high this week, especially during 

Thursday/Friday’s Virgo moon, so don’t make yourself the 

meat in the sandwich of other people’s problems. Accept that 

even loved ones or supporters may not share your views, and 

downplay misunderstandings or diff erences of opinion.

With Mercury throwing a spanner in the 

universal works, this high voltage, wildfi re 

week is impetuous and volatile. It breaks 

rules, shakes lives, makes changes… 

CHESS by Ian Rogers 

publishing his writings. 

Kasparov’s many battles with 

the Soviet system as he rose to 

challenge Anatoly Karpov have 

made him passionately opposed 

to any form of authoritarian government 

and a great admirer of 

the US, though far from uncritical. 

As seen in his long chess career, 

Kasparov has a strong sense of 

right and wrong and 90 per cent 

of the time fought on the side of 

the angels. His debating manner, 

however, was less than tolerant; if 

you disagreed you must be either 

stupid or evil. Such a style can 

be very effective at refuting your 

opponent’s bad moves over the 

chessboard but are less effective at 

persuading disinterested observers 

that you should be supported. 

As a result, the governmentcontrolled 

media in Russia has 

had a relatively easy task in trashing 

Kasparov’s reputation; not 

only directly but also by playing 

up every minor chess exhibition in 

which Kasparov competed since 

Fine Chocolate

�� LIBRA: Achieving serene brain space could be a challenge 

this week. Pressure won’t solve problems so stick with your 

trademark calm and charm, steer clear of the gossip mill and 

since accident ratings are quite high right now, do take care 

and don’t take risks. 

��SCORPIO: This undeniably vibrant week is also abrasive, 

opinionated, petulant and self-centred. Scorpios are born 

smart, so stay cool and don’t argue with overheated people. 

Your powers of non-verbal persuasion are always impressive, 

so you won’t need to say much to make your point. 

��SAGITTARIUS: You’re the zodiac sign of the explorer, and 

this week it’s more informative and eff ective to explore 

your emotions rather than alienate others with sharp words 

at this year’s critical juncture in your personal life. Present 

relationship hot spots require creative patience and artful 

negotiation. 

��CAPRICORN: This week’s cosmic cattle prod activates your 

longstanding issue of rehashing the past. Basic common 

sense dictates learning lessons then letting them go so 

resentments don’t keep resurfacing. Toxic nostalgia’s a 

condition of defending an outdated version of yourself – and 

you’re so much better than that. 

��AQUARIUS: This week restrictions to your freedom of choice 

or movement could be particularly irritating. But the good 

news is that refusing to see people as enemies opens the 

door for them to become allies, making a whole new can of 

options and possibilities available. 

�� PISCES: This week speaks its mind, though you mightn’t 

altogether like what it says. Attending to everyday duties, 

responsibilities, courtesies and routines is even more 

important than usual during this transit, which tests your 

ability to be clear and articulate in communicating what you 

want. 

his retirement as a sign that a 

comeback was around the corner, 

implying that Kasparov was no 

more than a dilettante at politics. 

Unfortunately this week 

Kasparov made this task a little 

easier, by being the star attraction 

at a fund-raising exhibition 

in Florida for the Revere America 

Foundation. 

Offering a blitz game against 

Kasparov for $US5,000 or a seat 

at a simultaneous exhibition for 

$1,000, the event is likely to raise 

plenty of money for the cause – 

and Kasparov has raised many 

thousands for charitable causes in 

the past – but it is hard to believe 

that Kasparov conducted due diligence 

before offering his services 

this time. 

Revere America’s blurb on the 

promotional brochure for the 

exhibition sounds great – ‘A nonpartisan 

organisation dedicated to 

advancing common sense public 

policies rooted in our traditions of 

freedom and free markets.’ 

Red Tulip Bunny White 

and Milk Chocolate

Assorted 

Filled Eggs 

However, digging a little deeper 

would have revealed that Revere 

America is a political body with 

one main aim: to undermine and 

eventually repeal last year’s US 

health system changes. 

Kasparov has long sought to 

remain non-party political in the 

US, talking with politicians of all 

flavours, but fund-raising for a 

body linked to the controversial 

Tea Party is likely to raise eyebrows 

in the US, let alone be exploited 

ruthlessly back in Moscow. 

The problem for Kasparov is 

that he is not really a politician; 

he does and says exactly what he 

believes, caring little about image. 

As a chessplayer this worked 

well – he was the living personification 

of Emmanuel Lasker’s 

maxim that ‘On the chessboard 

lies and hypocrisy do not survive 

long… the merciless fact, culminating 

in a checkmate, contradicts 

the hypocrite.’ 

In political life, Kasparov’s 

directness earned him great 

respect during the communist 

era in the USSR, but it seems to 

be failing dismally to make any 

impact in modern Russia.

with mentors recruited exclusively 

from the Northern Rivers’ own creative 

communities. 

Arts Northern Rivers’ Communications 

and Arts Development Officer Julie 

Clark says, ‘It is a popularly quoted 

fact that the Northern Rivers region 

of NSW has one of the highest 

concentrations of artists and creative 

practitioners in the country. 

‘We also have an upcoming 

generation of young people with 

energy and ideas who we know 

could benefit from the direction and 

support of someone who is already 

established in their field. 

‘The ArtStart Northern Rivers Young 

Creatives Mentoring Project program 

is modelled on international and 

national mentoring projects for young 

and emerging artists such as the 

British Council’s Realise Your Dream 

initiative, Qantas’s Spirit of Youth 

Award, Youth Arts Queensland’s 

Youth Arts Mentoring Project and the 

Australia Council’s JUMP initiative. 

‘What makes the program unique is 

our commitment to matching young 

Roxy Gallery Exhibition 

Kyogle youth has its artistic talent on display with the Own It 

art exhibition at the Roxy Gallery in Kyogle. The offical opening 

is this Friday, April 8, from 4 to 6pm with drinks, finger food 

and musical entertainment from other talented Kyogle youth. 

The exhibition runs until April 30. Artworks created by Year 10 

students from Kyogle High School with the theme of genderbased 

violence are also on display. These paintings are one way 

for youth to raise awareness of a very critical issue. For more info 

phone the gallery on 6632 3518. 

Lismore Regional Gallery 

On show at Lismore Regional Gallery until 23 April is The Force 

of Forgetting, new works curated by Khadim Ali by Hazara – 

artists Ali Baba Aurang, Sher Ali Hussainy, Sahraa Karimi and 

Ali himself, telling the ‘bare reality’ of Afghanistan. Ali reflects ‘a 

forced forgetting… is where the collective memory of a society 

is wounded’. Showing concurrently is The Nature of the Beast, 

an exhibition of recent work by Aris Prabawa reflecting his 

Khadim Ali, [Untitled] 2011

creatives exclusively with local 

mentors. 

‘We are already familiar with 

many Northern Rivers’ artists and 

practitioners who have much to share 

with the next generation of creatives. 

However we also hope that our call 

out to mentors will help us discover 

some new faces, including those who 

choose to keep a low profile in the 

local community, for one reason or 

another. 

‘This might include practitioners 

whose work is outside the 

mainstream, and those who have 

recently retired from an active career 

in the arts and creative industries.’ 

Applications are now open for this 

exciting initiative, with a call to young 

people with a passionate interest 

in the arts or a creative practice – 

whether mainstream or alternative – 

to put their hand up to be included. 

Successful applicants will receive six 

months’ direction and support from a 

specially selected Creative Mentor, 

and be eligible for up to $500 towards 

the cost of achieving a creative project 

or idea. 

Plus they’ll have access to 

specially programmed professional 

development workshops to assist in

Mixed Media The Boat & the Wind 


Since 2001 Kelleh has been driven by 

the exploration of self and identity. With 

a background in graphic design, Kelleh 

moved into photography-based digital and 

mixed-media art forms, with self portraiture 

as the focal point for inquiry. After her solo 

show, Advancing Magnolia (2003), a more 

impassioned sociopolitical agenda emerged 

and she set off for Berlin. There the streets 

of Kreuzberg, reflecting the transience and 

impermanence of life, set light to a new 

medium: stencil art. For the next few years 

Kelleh wandered the streets questioning our 

current societal structures. The transition from 

street to gallery took place in the ‘Lock Up’ 

(2007), where for 13 days in a local gallery 

she painted the walls, floors and canvas. 

Mourning Light (2008), an exhibition in 

Surry Hills, was an extension of her gallery 

experience. 

Barebones Art Space 

Barebones Art Space opened in the 

main street of Bangalow in 1994, with a 

small stable of local artists. Since then 

we have enjoyed many exhibitions and 

group shows. The group shows were fun. 

The openings were attended by all and 

sundry as they provided entertainment 

in a small town that, except for the local 

pub, almost shut down after business 

hours. 

Times have changed. We still enjoy a 

stable of local artists and have extended 

our range to included fine original 

prints. We have built up a trustworthy 

relationship over the years with a print 

dealer who supplies us with a varied 

range of work by well known and 

emerging Australian artists. 

Featured is an etching by Adrian Lockhart. Other artists in 

our print collection include David Larwill, John Olsen, David 

Boyd, Garry Shead, Frank Hodgkinson, Rona Green, Christina 

Cordero, Anne Smith and others. 

Visit and enjoy some very fine art in Bangalow. 

The Freckled Lounge 

specialises in fine art and design. Formerly of Fletcher Street, 

Byron, they now trade online. The Freckled Lounge stock the 

exquisite prints of Dennis Nona and Alick Tipoti, Carmen 

Hogue’s beautifully crafted collectable dolls and nests, local 

jewellery designers Peekaboo, Caryn Gillespie’s award-winning 

lingerie sets as well many as other Australian design and craft 

objects.

ph 6632 3518 

Within the exploration of self and identity over 

the past 10 years, the aspect that continues 

to intrigue Kelleh most is the examination of 

the conditioned mind. 

‘What turns me on is the raw grit and 

underground of the psyche, the way my 

paintings speak to me, the essence of not 

immediately understanding that I am painting, 

and then slowly the painting revealing my 

sub/unconscious stories and expressions.’ 

This personal quest for self understanding 

has led Kelleh to the doorstep of an arts 

therapy diploma, as the connection of human 

touch and community within art form is 

Kelleh’s current vehicle, now driving her to 

Melbourne and Alice Springs. 

Kelleh is presenting her latest work in the 

forthcoming joint EXHIBITION on 6 May 

at the Double Bassment in Byron www.

The Cat Returns G 

Sucker Punch 

The infuriating thing about 

this nasty and pretentious 

movie is that it so seriously 

claims to be something that 

it’s not – after, with a snigger, 

pretending at fi rst to be 

tongue in cheek. A bunch of 

mistreated young women 

trapped in a bordello (where 

nobody is seen to turn tricks), 

fi ghting to free themselves 

from patriarchal tyranny 

sounds reasonable, but really, 

all we have here is a cohort 

of heavily made-up gals in 

tight bodices (when creamily 

exposed between tiny 

pleated skirts and long black 

stockings, 

lissome 

thighs look 

so much 

more… 

well… 

lissome, 

don’t you 

think?), doing exactly the 

same stuff as boys do with 

guns and swords. Is there any 

genre more dead boring that 

the graphic-novel blastathon? 

With psycho-babble about 

identity and free will thrown 

into the mix, as well as an old 

man in a Chinese temple who 

explains to our heroine what 

her tasks are (‘Grasshopper…’), 

I wondered if the barista 

across the road had put 

some sinister narcotic in my 

macchiato. Then I did a head 

count of the audience. In the 

session I attended there were 

nineteen males, mostly in 

their teens or early twenties, 

and one female (who was 

accompanying a bloke). The 

penny dropped – it’s a fl ick for 

gamers who love lots of loud 

violence with a perv thrown 

in as icing on the cake. The 

atmospherics and stylised 

cinematography (manic and 

near monochromatic) are 

de rigueur in their coldness, 

while the battle sequences are 

tedious beyond endurance. 

I thought I heard Jeff erson 

Airplane’s White Rabbit under 

the brain-splitting cacophony 

of the zeppelin being blown 

to smithereens – or was it 

when they were slaying the 

dragon in the ruins of the 

Gothic cathedral? – and the 

electric grunge version of the 

Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows 

was passable. Concluding, 

however, with a sermon that 

is embarrassing even by the 

lowest infantile standards, 

this is a fi lm of shameless 

exploitation and mesmerising 

crassness. Otherwise, the 

lissome thighs were just fi ne. ~

They’re coming thick and 

fast now, aren’t they, the 3D 

animations. An unforeseen 

problem has emerged, 

however, with the glasses 

themselves. It appears that 

a large percentage of the 

really little kids simply do 

not have the forbearance 

to keep the things on for 

90–100 minutes, hence the 

release of movies such as this 

in both 3D and the old ‘fl at 

screen’ format. Certainly, the 

superior Rango lost nothing in 

comparison with its high-tech 

competitors because it was 

in 2D, so perhaps the gushing 

proclamation that ‘3D is the 

future of cinema’ is worth a 

second thought. But, of the 

new wave, if we are happy to 

set Toy Story 3 (and, for mine, 

How To Train Your Dragon) as 

the benchmark, then Rio, for 

all its unimpeachable morality 

and rom-com sweetness, 

doesn’t quite get up there. Blu 

(voiced by Jesse Eisenberg 

from The Social Network), 

the last male parrot of his 

kind, is happily domesticated 

in Minnesota. Transported 

to his native Brazil to mate 

with Jewel (Anne Hathaway) 

and thus save the species 

from extinction, he and his 

new partner are abducted 

by bird smugglers. There is 

a repetitiveness about their 

attempts to escape that wears 

thin and Blu’s inability to fl y 

will, you know, be overcome 

in the climax – which, it 

must be said, is a beauty. 

The casting of Eisenberg in 

the lead role is a clanger, 

for, as a fast-talking, nerdy 

New Yorker, he convinces 

as neither Mid-West yokel 

or Latino parrot. The visuals 

are par for the course – the 

boy smuggler’s return to his 

rooftop home in a predictably 

sanitised barrio, and a 

streetcar ride over the hills of 

the city are breathtaking – but 

the soundtrack is lacklustre 

and, disappointingly, the

perpetrators of what is in 

real life a fi lthy crime are too 

lightly dealt with. Fitting 

snugly into what AO Scott 

has called animation’s ‘golden 

age of mediocrity’, Rio is lavish 

and frenetic (the mardi gras 

sequence is fabulous), but 

twee and soon forgettable. ~

Television Guide 

1. Bill Nighy is among the engaging cast of The Boat 

That Rocked (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm), a British comedy 

about a pirate radio ship in the 1960s. Some great 

music, including The Kinks. 

2. Among all the blokey stuff about cars and geegees 

on 7Mate is The Universe (Saturday, 9.30pm), a 

cosmological foray far out beyond the reach of VB. 

3. SBS2 piles on the angst with Phantom Pain 

(Sunday, 9.45pm), in which a cyclist loses a leg, 

followed by Hell at 11.30pm, a French film which 

could be about anything from Lucifer’s domain to 

domestic life. Bring a handkerchief.

Autumn – which it suddenly and decisively 

is – starts me thinking about cakes. About 

making them and carving them up for 

visitors, about sharing a wedge with the man 

I love or guiltily sneaking a second slice on 

my own before putting it away (all in the 

name of tidying up a ragged edge of course). 

Especially about warm apple cakes, which is 

my chief memory of a fl eeting amble around 

Amsterdam decades ago (not the windmills 

or the tulips). Café after café off ered warm 

apple cakes in their own special versions 

and it was a wonderfully restorative way of 

recovering from the hours of walking foreign 

countries demand. 

And in autumn apples are particularly 

wonderful, especially that old favourite, the 

Granny Smith. You may be able to buy these 

tart green fruit all year around but it is only in 

their proper season that they taste the sharp 

way God meant them. Your teeth collide with 

that hard white fl esh, the acidity sending tiny 

shudders through your salivary glands, the 

fl avour so cleanly green, or greenly clean. 

Better still is cooking with them, to which 

they lend themselves so well. Granny Smith 

apples originated in Australia in 1868, 

named after Maria Ann Smith who settled 

in Sydney’s Eastwood with her husband and 

children after emigrating from England as 

part of a government program recruiting 

people with agricultural skills sorely needed 

in the colony of New South Wales. Amongst 

other fruit they grew seedling apples and 

it is believed that Maria’s ‘discovery’ was 

related to the French crabapple. At any rate, 

it was she who discovered its versatility in 

cooking and eating and was involved in 

spreading its popularity. It became one of the 

original staple supermarket and international

Cooking with 

Granny Smiths 


varieties, being vastly suited to easy shipping 

around the world with its tough skin and 

excellent keeping qualities. 

A browse through my too-many cookbooks 

exposes a disappointing lack of apple cake 

recipes, just when I had my heart set on some 

weekend baking, just as I was imagining the 

warm spicy moist appley mouthfuls. Apple 

pie and apple crumble recipes abound, and 

of course I will happily make both throughout 

autumn and winter because they positively 

shout the presence of those seasons. The 

browse did yield two quick and luscious 

desserts I had forgotten about and will now 

share. Apple Galette requires an oven preheated 

to 200°C and a sheet of frozen puff 

pastry you can buy. Cut from it a 23 cm circle 

and place it on a baking sheet lined with 

baking paper. Prick all over with a fork. Peel, 

core and thinly slice two large Granny Smiths 

and, starting in the centre, arrange the slices 

in overlapping circles on top of the pastry. 

Brush slices with melted butter and lavishly 

scatter over caster sugar then bake for about 

half an hour. The sugar will caramelise and 

the pastry become crisp and gold. Serve it 

hot with double cream. Or make Apple Cream 

by placing two peeled, cored and diced 

Granny Smiths in a baking dish then dot with 

30 grams butter and 2 tablespoons brown 

sugar. Place in a 180°C oven for 15 minutes, 

stirring occasionally. Beat one cup thickened 

cream with half a teaspoon vanilla essence, 

two tablespoons caster sugar, two eggs and 

one tablespoon brandy and pour over the 

apple – keep cooking until set, about 10 

more minutes. Dust with cinnamon, rest fi ve 

minutes, then serve straight from the dish. 

These two are all very lovely – but it’s now 

back to my hunt for a Dutch apple cake!

BYRON BAY

GOODTASTE 

BYRON BAY CONTINUED 

A picnic among the hill tribes 

Horatio Bitemark 

One of the more unfortunate provisions we 

accidentally packed for our picnic was the 

Not Happy Jam, a preserve which seemed 

constituted chiefl y of sour grapes. It had been 

issued in limited quantities by the Byron Bay 

Marmalade and Rent Gouging Society, whose 

aim other than the culinary seemed to be 

the application of crowbars and coconut oil 

in order to cram as many paying bodies as 

possible into the already bulging town. 

We left the elegantly comfortable comfort 

zone of the Myocum clubhouse and ventured 

out into the wilds for a picnic. Our convoy 

of black Bentleys took us up into the Mt 

Jerusalem National Park along the gravel 

road at the back of Main Arm Upper Upper 

In Extremis and onto the sleepy little hamlet 

of Uki, its hostelry marked chiefl y by the 

line of high-powered motorcycles – elegant 

Ducatis rubbing shoulders with sociopathic 

Harleys – occupying most of the nearby kerb, 

and thence to the Border Ranges and the Bar 

Mountain Picnic Area. 

Chef had prepared Rack of Dingo with 

Attenuated Coulis of Feral Apricot, nestled 

alongside Highly Gingered Tree Frog in a 

bed of Anxious Spinach, followed by an 

amusing Aniseed Sorbet lightly dusted with 

Cocaine. We toasted the great outdoors and 

its fondness for more oxygen than is strictly 

necessary with an excellent 1987 Frank 

Sartor Planning Takeover Cabernet Merlot, its 

bouquet simply stuff ed with grace notes – or 

is that banknotes? – of hubris, the afterpalate 

a lingering testament to speculative 

subdivision cleared block weed fragrances.

was on secondment from the Moree Mad

Toff s Club. He had been wearing a fragile look 

all morning, like a kitten with its paw stuck 

in a jar of Vegemite, and fi nally broached 

the subject which had been occupying his 

thoughts. 

‘I say, chaps, now that one has reached the 

tender age of 54, how does one tell if one is 

prey to – whatchacallit – a midlife crisis?’ 

‘Why do you ask, Chummers?’ said Bosworth, 

who was busy picking dingo from his teeth. 

‘It’s just that I’ve started dating a lass nine 

years younger than me and I wonder if that is 

a sort of symptom of chronological anxiety, 

don’t you know. To top it all, I own a red 

Jaguar XK120.’ 

‘Who doesn’t own a red Jaguar XK120?’ 

replied Bosworth. ‘One’s companion needs 

to be at least 30 years younger, or preferably 

embryonic, before one is approaching a 

psychological crisis. That’s according to the 

Byron Shire Hopeless Old Lechers Tantric 

Pickup Manual, which is emblazoned with the 

motto, “You’re only as old as the woman you 

feel”.’ 

The conversation degenerated from there, 

and I wandered off to one side to privately 

toast lost youth. Time’s winged chariot hurries 

near, as the eminent politician Andrew 

Marvell once noted, and nothing will stay 

it from leaving deep wheel marks across 

one’s back. In the brief moment of existential 

grace which is the only glory life gives to us, 

I wrestled with a grass tick for possession of 

my forearm, and won out by drowning it in a 

wicked bead of absinthe.

show after spending the last 

week hanging out with Pastrana

Storm’s skills and showmanship

A beautiful day on Saturday 

really set the scene for the first

The Under 7s team had a 

great game against Tweed 

Coast Green. The boys are really 

enjoying their footy and 

are very happy to be out on 

the paddock, having fun with 

their mates. 

The Giants Under 9s put in 

a gutsy effort against a stronger 

Murwillumbah team with 

Reece Donnelly playing well. 

Zac Hardisty, Harry Rutter and 

Nori Arundle also put in some 

big runs. 

The Under 10s were in great 

form with a 34–10 win over 

Murwillumbah Colts. Max 

Meikle was in outstanding 

form in both attack and defence 

as was Jett Dickinson, 

Kane Oliss and Lachlan Mitchell. 

Davis Rutter ran hard all 

game. Kyle Bungie played well

player Zai Harris who stepped 

up. 

The Under 13s had a great 

first match against Murwillumbah. 

All of the boys put in 

a huge team effort and played 

some hard-hitting football. 

The boys fought hard with 

Josh Berry scoring two tries 

and Kyle Mackellar one. Murwillumbah 

got away with the 

win but these Mullum boys can 

be truly proud of their gutsy 

efforts on the field. Points this 

week went to Josh Berry, Jordan 

Burton and Taylor Deegan. 

The Under 14 boys played 

well against South Tweed 

to rack up their second win. 

First-half attack and defence 

was awesome and in particular 

the communication in defence 

to get off the line quickly. 

This hard work established a 

three tries to one lead at half 

time. South Tweed came back 

strongly in the second half and 

really peppered the Mullum 

line, but the boys held out for 

a hard fought 22-14 win. Three 

points this week went to Jake 

Forrester-Oxley who was awesome 

with his attack running; 

two points went to Callum 

Salisbury and one point each 

to Darcy Earl and Joe Marsden. 

With a depleted team the 

Under 16s put in a massive 

effort in their game against 

South Tweed. 

The whole team worked 

really hard and played some 

great entertaining football. 

Special mention must go to the 

ever energetic Captain Courageous 

Rhys Carruth. A great

Giants too good for Devils in battle of reggies Magpies defuse Bombers 

Did he get it down before the line or not? The ref said yes and Matt Mulcahy registered the 

Giants’ second try in their win over Byron on Sunday. Photo Tree Faerie

John Campbell 

Premiers in 2008, the Byron 

Bay Red Devils will not field 

an A-grade side in the NRRRL 

competition this season. 

Bush footy has been the 

life-blood of rugby league 

since forever (former Mullum 

prodigy Jacob Miller made 

his debut for Wests Tigers last 

Friday night), but our shire’s 

changing demographic, the 

attractions of less demanding 

lifestyle choices for young men 

and recruitment raids by rivals 

have resulted in ignominy for 

the recent champions. 

A hastily assembled squad 

of players, with club stalwart 

Eli Colby in charge as captaincoach, 

was belatedly assembled 

and in Sunday’s balmy heat 

they took on Byron’s arch rivals, 

the Mullumbimby Giants, 

in Round One of the reserve 

grade comp. 

After a long summer of humiliating 

cricket, returning to 

the Devils’ field of dreams in 

such circumstances was hardly 

irresistible, but a local derby is 

always to be savoured. Others 

felt the same and it was comforting 

to return to the fold of 

regular footy tragics. 

Ainslie is a super Lennox Head 

Alstonville SLSC Nipper 

When Byron’s Brett Harvey 

clouted Brett Archibald with 

a head-high in the opening 

exchanges a palpable sense of 

relief surged through the estimated 

crowd of 6,228 – the 

boys were at least going to provide 

us with a wholehearted 

contest. 

The ensuing penalty resulted 

in a converted try to the visitors, 

but the Devils immediately 

returned serve with a try 

to five-eighth Adam Gordon 

and, at 4–6, the home side was 

giving as good as it got and 

dominating territorially. 

Michael ‘Wolfman’ Chap- 

Ainslie Bakker joined Nippers at Lennox in the Under 11s. Ainslie has just finished Nippers this 

year and has become a top competitor in competitive events, especially on the beach. Ainslie, 

pictured centre, won Gold in the Under 14 two kilometre run at the Country Titles and at the 

State Titles. She just won the Chairman’s Award at the Lennox Club Nippers presentation for her 

diligence and enthusiasm on patrols. Ainslie is an all rounder, and Lennox Head-Alstonville Surf 

Club are so proud of her achievements. 

man crossed but was called 

back for off-side, and it was as 

close as Byron were to get to 

being in front. 

Giants full-back James 

Chester dived on a perfectly 

weighted grubber from cagy 

five-eighth Scott Hogan, whose 

subtle boot laid on another 

four-pointer for Matt Mulcahy 

just minutes later. 

Capping a golden sequence 

for the veteran, Hogan turned 

back the clock half a century 

to weave his way through the 

defence in a thirty-metre run 

to the line. 

Mullum’s 20–4 half-time 

lead contradicted the closeness 

of the contest, but they 

ran away with it in the second 

stanza to the tune 0f 42–4. 

What Byron lacked in combination 

they made up for with 

stout effort, but they were inevitably 

outclassed by a better 

drilled, fitter outfit – not that 

an inconsistent ref helped by 

reducing them to eleven men 

at one stage through a couple 

of questionable sin-binnings. 

It was a hollow feeling to 

be going home so early – we’d 

witnessed a preliminary bout 

without a main event – but the 

Devils showed enough to warrant 

a return visit. 

Next Saturday, the Giants’ 

first graders open their NRRRL 

campaign when they clash 

with Northern United at Les 

Donnelly Field. It should be a 

cracker. 

The Brunswick 

Boardriders Club will 

hold their April club 

contest this Sunday. 

All members are 

asked to meet at 

Brunswick surfclub 

for a 7:30am start.

The Byron Shire Magpies 

travelled to battle the Ballina 

bombers in the usual grudge 

match. 

Player shortages meant the 

Magpies started with 18 only 

with the help of two ring-ins 

against a full-strength Ballina 

outfit. 

The Magpies began where 

they finished last week with 

open running team play. Players 

were doing the team thing 

and backing each other up 

with linking football. 

Marcus Atkinson was again 

a ball magnet and was giving 

the team control from the half- 

back line. Doug Perich along 

with Hansom Brooks were 

taking control in the forward 

half and with Liam Afflick in 

the ruck with Joey Ryan roving 

and Andrew Woods playing 

strongly the Magpies led 

by two goals at the first break. 

The second quarter saw 

coach Preston dislocate his ankle 

just before half time with 

the Magpies up by 28 points. 

This could have been it for the 

Magpies, now down to 17, but 

players rallied and continued 

strong disciplined team play to 

out-play the Bombers. 

With no bench and players 

cramping the boys dug deep 

and ran out winners 13–13–91 

to 9–7–61. It was a great team 

win and a credit to all players. 

Marcus was given the best onground 

votes. 

The team has really gelled 

under Preston’s coaching with 

a great feeling around the club. 

Next week the Magpies take on 

Tweed at Pottsville. 

Little Maggies 

Following on from a tight win 

last weekend, the Under 9s put 

their stamp on the juniors division 

with a massive win in the 

north. 

The Magpies Under 9 team 

played the Murwillambah Vulcans 

on Sunday. The Vulcans 

put up a good fight for such 

a young side and left the field 

proud of their efforts. The final 

score Magpies 20–2–132 and 

Vulcans nil. This team of little 

Pies will be a team to watch 

in 2011. 

The club is still looking for 

players and game day helpers 

so give Mick, 0432 401 334, or 

George on 6684 1454 a call. 

Training tips to avoid the injury sidelines 

1. Find your start point as you may experience some loss of fitness 

since your last season. 2. Consider planning a fitness-building 

regimen with your health professional. 3. Ease into the first few 

training sessions to help condition your body to the exercise it will 

be doing. 4. Slowly increase the intensity, volume and duration to 

help condition the body to the exercise it is going to do. 5. Ensure 

any injuries you are carrying from last year have been checked 

by a qualified professional. 6. Be sure to have an active warm up, 

including the spine – as the spine co-ordinates all limb movements. 

7. Cool down and stretch after your workout – stretching helps 

decrease muscle soreness and promote muscle balance. 8. Consider 

increasing your magnesium and vitamin C intake, which is good 

for feeding muscles and joints. 9. Stay well hydrated before, during 

and after training and games. Dehydration can cause a loss of 

concentration, co-ordination, strength and flexibility.

Velocette owners from the country gathered at Lennox Head last week for a run around the Northern Rivers. The 

cyclists had short rides planned for each day of a week long run but had to reduce the length of their daily rides due 

to the inclement weather that dogged the whole trip. 

The rain didn’t stop them taking a trip to Murwillumbah and the hinterland last Friday however. 

About 60 bikers stopped at the driver reviver at Yelgun, where Velocette veteran of 55 years Bryan Dawes, took the 

opportunity to warm up with a cuppa and cake served by the Lions ladies Val Armstrong and Lyn Fitzgerald. 

Bryan said that despite his protective gear, he was still wet underneath but the run was worth it.

Australia Post is proposing to relocate the Street Posting Box (SPB) 

at the corner of Ewing Street and Peter Street, Murwillumbah, to the 

corner of Quarry Road and Lundberg Drive, Murwillumbah South. 

The proposed relocation was the result of a recent review of 

postal facilities in the area. It was determined that the new 

location will better suit the local population. 

Australia Post is currently undertaking a 30 day consultation 

process with the local community. During this period a notice will 

remain on the SPB. 

Should you have any queries concerning this action please contact 

Australia Post on 13 13 18.

Researchers are calling on men 

and women who work in the 

diverse fi elds of nursing, retail, 

exotic dancing, construction 

and medicine, to take part in a 

new study that explores traditionally 

‘gendered’ jobs. ‘Society 

dictates that nursing is traditionally 

a feminine occupation, 

while being a doctor is more 

masculine. To a similar extent, 

construction sites are expected 

to be male-dominated, while 

exotic dancing is seemingly 

restricted to women,’ says Dr 

Kate Huppatz from the School 

of Social Sciences at the University 

of Western Sydney. Participants 

in the study will take 

part in a 60-minute interview 

with a researcher. To participate, 

contact Dr Kate Huppatz 

on 0425 309 204 or Dr Sue 

Goodwin on 9351 3282.
