Council now backs CCTV 

Hans Lovejoy 

Council now supports, in principle, 

the use of CCTV in Byron Bay. 

Th e reversal on the matter comes 

aft er it was voted on at last Th ursday’s 

meeting. Th e note of CCTV support 

was included within the Draft Safer 

Community Compact policy which 

had been on public submission. 

Crs Ross Tucker and Jan Barham 

voted against the motion. 

It’s welcoming news to Byron Bay 

Liquor Accord chairperson, Elke van 

Haandel, who is also general manager 

of the Beach Hotel. ‘Th e Accord 

and police cannot fi x the issues of the 

town,’ she told The Echo. 

‘We need the Council’s support on 

many factors contributing to the town’s 

issues, namely, the installation of 

CCTV, improved lighting in the CBD, 

and to improve the transport hub.’ 

She says the Accord meets every 

eight weeks and members are made up 

of representatives of all major venues 

in town (bottle shops and restaurants), 

local police, Byron Youth Services 

(BYS) and the chamber of commerce. 

‘Th e council is invited each time but 

most oft en doesn’t attend,’ she says. 

Th e purpose of the Accord Ms van 

Haandel says, ‘is for us to work togeth- 

er as an industry to introduce practical 

solutions to liquor-related problems. 

‘Recently we have been focusing on 

the town’s alcohol-related assaults. It’s 

important to note that this has always 

been Byron Bay’s issue. Th ere hasn’t 

been a signifi cant spike in assaults although 

the media will lead us to believe 

that; it’s a longstanding issue that 

the police and the accord are working 

closely together to address.’ 

No signifi cant spike in 

assaults: Liquor Accord 

At the last BBLA meeting in April, 

she says the Accord pledged their support 

to: impose drink restrictions in 

our venues to promote RSA (for example, 

no doubles, plastic retainers to 

replace glass, limited drink purchases 

aft er midnight, stricter RSA practices), 

target illicit drug use within venues, 

improve communication of security 

between venues regarding problem patrons, 

support the Designated Driver 

campaign, to continue the current selfimposed 

2am lockout and to support 

maximum capacities in venues. 

‘We also support greater police presence 

and greater enforcement action 

from police for venues, staff and problem 

patrons.’

Broken Head Road trees look to be saved 

Luis Feliu 

Councillors have voted to save scores 

of native trees in a wildlife corridor 

earmarked to be felled by Council 

staff . Th e work was part of the rebuilding 

of a section of Broken Head 

Road, which sparked an outcry from 

the mayor and community. 

Twenty large trees were felled last 

month, unbeknown to the mayor, 

and around 60 more were planned 

to be chopped down for the road 

widening. 

Th en last week, only days aft er she 

succeeded with an urgency motion to 

halt the works, staff further angered 

her by recommending the roadworks 

south of Broken Head Reserve continue, 

including the felling of more 

mature trees. 

Staff in their report had warned

that funding from the Roads and 

Maritime Services (RMS) for half 

the budgeted $570,000 project was 

tied and could be lost if they did not 

proceed. 

Th ey also said the road’s poor pavement 

condition exposed Council to 

a risk of accident-insurance claims 

and that Council had a duty of care 

as a roads authority to maintain and 

improve the road for public safety. 

But Cr Barham successfully moved 

for Council to carry on with the works 

but without having to fi nalise the road 

widening or remove any more trees. 

Th e move was opposed by Crs Ross 

Tucker, Diane Woods and Tony Heeson. 

Half the cost of the project was being 

funded under the government’s 

REPAIR program for regional roads. 

Th e Council will now proceed with 

Byron Shire

the rehabilitation of the road using 

developer-contribution (section 94) 

funds and will ask the RMS if the 

grant funding can be used for other 

road improvements along a greater 

stretch of Broken Head Road. 

A report has also been sought on 

the environmental repair work now 

needed for the areas being cleared 

and to see what improvements or mitigation 

works for wildlife conservation 

along the road can be carried out. 

Cr Barham told media before last 

week’s meeting that widening the road 

by removing vegetation in a wildlife 

corridor was uneccesary to improve 

safety and she’d rather council spend 

the money ‘on the surface people drive 

on, rather than three metres either 

side’. Staff said the project was not required 

to go to tender under Local 

Government Act regulations.

Moving a child into supported womanhood 

Th ey say it takes a village to 

raise a child. 

Local program facilitator 

and co-founder of the Pathways 

Into Womanhood Moana 

Pearl feels that in today’s world 

it is rare that the village helps 

bring up the children. 

‘It is more important than 

ever to assist our youth on their 

fi rst steps to young adulthood’, 

says Moana. 

‘Rites of passage are conscious 

and public demarcations 

to help us all defi ne the 

movement from one stage of 

life to another. Th ey have been 

in traditional societies since 

the beginning of time.’ 

Moana says that without 

these clear and well-supported 

gateways our youth are, knowingly 

or unknowingly, initiating 

themselves. Risk taking 

and challenge are part of testing 

our ability to move beyond 

known boundaries. 

After three years of cooking in the Shire, chef Christian 

Poulsen and his team are proud to announce their new gig: 

The Belongil Bistro. Located at 33 Childe St, Belongil, it’s open 

every day (except Tuesday), from 7am to midnight. Pictured

Committed to saving our hospitals 

Luis Feliu 

The public campaign to retain 

24-hour emergency medical 

services including an overnight 

doctor at Mullumbimby Hospital 

has been ramped up as the 

local health authority continues 

its push to implement the controversial 

plan. 

A second public meeting to 

protest the cost-cutting move 

will go ahead on Monday, June 

18, at the Mullumbimby Civic 

Centre at 7pm and a steering 

committee involving local nurses, 

doctors and the public to coordinate 

the campaign has been 

formed. 

Last Saturday week, over 100 

people protested outside Lismore 

Base Hospital against cuts 

to services at Mullumbimby, 

Coraki and Bonalbo hospitals. 

The introduction of the proposed 

‘trial’ to replace Mullumbimby 

Hospital’s emergency 

overnight doctor with a telemedicine 

video-conferencing 

link to Tweed Hospital operated 

by a nurse has now been pushed 

back from July 1 to late October. 

The delay in the start of the 

new rostering and system, 

called the ‘Connecting Critical 

Care System’, follows a meeting 

last week between nurses and 

Northern NSW Local Health 

District (NNSWLHD) chief executive 

Chris Crawford. 

Mr Crawford said it was 

agreed at the meeting that ‘a 

couple of months should be allowed 

for the nurses to get used 

to the system with a medical officer 

rostered to provide onsite 

support to the emergency department 

at night’. 

He said nurses would also be 

provided with copies of policies 

and protocols used at other 

regional hospitals where there 

was no onsite medical officer 

(doctor) to support the nurses 

as well as more data about other 

regional NSW hospitals where 

‘nurses receive telemedicine or 

just telephone support from a 

medical officer based at another 

site, which can occur over a 

whole weekend, or in some cases, 

for a period of several weeks’. 

Mr Crawford said it was also 

agreed to hold a further meet- 

Is this your

�� 

Mullumbimby nurses, doctors and health care workers say the proposed axing of the night 

doctor for tele-conferencing technology is an erosion of services, will not save money and 

potentially puts the public at risk. Chief bureaucrat in charge, Chris Crawford, has failed so far to 

give media an adequate response to their concerns. Photo Jeff Dawson 

ing with the Mullumbimby 

nursing staff after the new system 

had been in use for around 

two months and nurses had 

considered the extra information 

to see if their concerns had 

been addressed. 

But NSW Nurses Association 

delegate at the hospital, Shauna 

Boyle, told The Echo that despite 

Mr Crawford ‘listening’ to 

their concerns, he was ‘intent 

on pushing ahead with the trial’. 

Ms Boyle said doctors and nurses 

feared once the trial began, 

there was ‘no going back’ and 

the hospital would be without 

an overnight emergency doctor. 

Coroner slams hospital care 

A coroner has slammed Lismore Base Hospital as ‘incapable 

of providing emergency care for the region’ in his findings 

on the death of a man who suffered a stroke at the hospital 

last year. Coroner Jeff Linden was scathing of the hospital in 

his findings last Thursday after a three-day inquest into the 

death of 40-year-old Goonellabah man Glen Peter Rubbo. 

Mr Linden said overworked staff were forced to treat 

patients in ‘dilapidated conditions’ to such an extent that 

an upgrade of the emergency department could not wait 

until completion of the $80-million planned refurbishment 

and expansion of the emergency department. Local media 

reported that Mr Linden called for urgent action to expand 

the emergency department until the proposed expansion 

was completed. He also recommended that blood-analysis 

facilities that could have prevented Mr Rubbo’s death if it had 

been in place, be made available urgently at the hospital. 

Mr Rubbo had attended the hospital complaining of feeling 

dizzy and unsteady on his feet and collapsed in the carpark 

outside the emergency department where he had been 

waiting because the waiting room was full. A post mortem 

indicated early features of stroke were not recognised by 

medical staff. 

‘Nurses are wary that they’re 

not pushed into a position 

where they feel they’re unsupported, 

and though they are 

Get Echo news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au 

experienced in medical care, 

they don’t feel comfortable put 

in a position outside their stated 

role. 

‘This new system changes 

the whole health-care delivery 

model of nurses working in 

emergency services. We don’t 

know what problems we’ll have; 

it could put them in a quite dangerous 

position. 

‘There’s a lot of issues we still 

have concerns over and have 

to deal with, such as the legal 

responsibility of nurses put in 

that role, the reliability of the 

telemedicine system based on 

the internet, especially when 

you take a doctor out of the 

equation and only have a nurse 

on site. They could make nurses 

practitioners for the new role 

and pay them accordingly, but 

that hasn’t even been considered, 

and the health service 

seems to have a different idea 

of what constitutes consultation 

with a community. 

‘It’s important for the community 

to reaffirm that they are 

committed to keeping 24-hour 

medical services at the hospital 

with a doctor available at night.’ 

Ms Boyle said Mr Crawford 

rejected an invitation to address 

next Monday’s public meeting 

‘so he could answers questions 

people are asking’.

abreast of the mountain of legislation, keeping minutes

Boozy troublemakers targetted 

by Lismore Liquor Accord 

Luis Feliu 

Th e Lismore business community 

last week announced a unifi 

ed approach to crack-down on 

alcohol-fuelled violence. 

Badly-behaving patrons who 

refuse to leave licensed premises 

when asked will be banned 

from three months to life under 

the new barring policy. 

Lismore Liquor Accord 

chairman Steve Bortolin said 

the policy would ensure consistency 

when dealing with 

patrons involved in alcohol-

related violence and anti-social 

behaviour in or around 

licensed premises. 

He says the policy applies 

at all member venues, and informs 

patrons of the length of 

time they will be banned for a 

range of incidents. 

‘For example, under the policy, 

a patron causing malicious 

damage in the immediate vicinity 

of an accord venue may 

be banned from that venue for 

six months,’ Mr Bortolin said. 

‘Th is policy promotes individual 

responsibility and sets 

an acceptable standard of behaviour 

in and around all of 

our local licensed venues. 

‘It spreads the message to 

troublemakers that our local 

community will not accept 

their bad behaviour’. 

Mr Bortolin added the Lismore 

Liquor Accord had implemented 

many strategies 

over the years to reduce the 

impact of alcohol consumption 

on the local community. 

Th e scheme will be evaluated 

aft er three months to see 

how eff ective it is. 

Lismore Council’s CCTV costs and operation 

Lismore Council’s media 

spokesperson has told The 

Echo that their council has a 

contract with a security company 

to monitor the cameras 

live on Th ursday, Friday and 

Saturday nights. 

‘Th e company also provides 

security personnel for patrols 

on the street during the same 

period,’ she said. 

‘The total cost to Lismore 

Council is $222,000 per year 

for security patrols, camera 

monitoring and maintenance. 

‘The original cost for installation 

was approximately 

$190,000 in 1999 and the funding 

came from Lismore City 

Wide and Lismore Chamber of 

Commerce, who did fundraising. 

Lismore Rotary West also 

did fundraisers and donated 

money. 

‘Council itself directly 

contributed approximately 

$50,000.’ 

She said that police use the 

supplied DVD footage in investigations 

and court proceedings. 

‘Council is not privy to information 

on successes in court, 

but every DVD of camera footage 

relevant to a particular incident 

has been upheld in court.’

Local Election Candidates 

Karin Kolbe and Phil Preston 

announce council candidacy 

Suffolk Park Progress Association 

president Karin Kolbe, 

pictured above, has announced 

her intention to run for Council’s 

upcoming September 8 local 

government election. 

Phil Preston (pictured 

right), a member of the Mullumbimby 

Fire Brigade and 

co-ordinator of the STEER 

Project, will also be on the 

same independent ticket. 

‘Council is an exciting, yet 

gritty and robust place,’ says Ms 

Kolbe. ‘Decisions are made that 

aff ect us all on an immediate 

and local level. Alas, Council is 

oft en used as punching bag for 

some with (narrow) agendas. 

‘Council decisions should be 

made by merging an awareness 

of state, national and global 

issues with a strong sense of 

what supports a thriving local 

community. 

‘For this reason I’m announcing 

my candidacy for the 

September 8 election. 

A new group of locals will be 

standing for this year’s Council 

elections under the name 

Community Independents. 

The stated vision of the 

group is Keep it REAL – Responsible, 

Ethical, Accountable, 

Leadership. 

Byron Community Centre 

manager Paul Spooner (pictured) 

is leading the ticket, and 

describes the focus of candidates 

standing for the group as, 

‘Community values, cultural 

activities, local economy and 

environmental sensitivity’. 

Mr Spooner says, ‘the group 

will provide a voting alternative 

between the Greens and 

the conservative candidates.

‘We will be people who are

A letter from Rose 

I am offering an $8,000 kick start to 

approved buyers by passing on all 

the commission earned on the sale 

of each lot in this estate. 

I am honoured to support this development. It is providing true affordable housing for our 

community in an estate that is extra-ordinary. See their web site www.tallowoodridge.com.au 

At this price - it is possible to own your own home in the Byron Shire. 

Meet Rose at a property walk at Tallowood Ridge next Saturday the 16th June, 1pm to 

2pm to see how together we may be able to help you secure your own piece of paradise. 

This estate is not just another “suburbia”. Huge tracts of land are being developed into a sports field complex 

with a football field, cricket pitch, 2 tennis courts, basket ball court, community gardens, toddlers play park, 

several kilometres of pathways and close enough to town to do away with your car for true sustainable living. 

This is an amazing community in the making and I am really proud to be able to help 

our young people, first home and/or low doc buyers to get off the rental treadmill.

A benefi t to the community 

Many community groups have 

benefi tted from the Northern 

Rivers Community Foundation 

and this year they are hoping to 

double up on last year’s gift s. 

In 2011 the Foundation dispersed 

$50,000 in grants to 23 

organisations, ranging from 

the a new oven for the Lismore 

Soup Kitchen to writing 

workshops for people fi ghting 

addictions. Last week founding 

chairman Christopher Dean, 

pictured centre, caught up with 

the BUDDI project for an impromptu 

jam and a tap on a 

drum at the YAC in Byron Bay.

New draft rezoning changes to LEP 

Hans Lovejoy 

It’s a case of ‘wait and see’ if 

sweeping new draft rezonings 

will aff ect property prices aft er 

Council signed off on changes 

to the LEP (Local Environment 

Plan) last Th ursday. 

Potentially most at risk is the 

value of properties in coastal 

areas, says Belongil property 

owner John Vaughn. 

In Th ursday’s Council’s public 

access he asked mayor Jan 

Barham, ‘What impact will the 

new zonings have with mortgages 

and property prices?’ 

Ewingsdale multi-purpose facility fl oor replaced 

A new timber fl oor at Th e Byron 

Regional Sports and Cultural 

Complex (BRSCC) has 

been successfully installed, 

says Council, bringing the 

multi-purpose facility a step 

closer to being ready for use. 

Th e construction contractor 

has given the keys to Council 

staff and will brief them next 

week on the facility’s operation. 

Th e fl oor was replaced following 

an inspection by the 

builder in April, who found 

the original fl ooring unsatisfactory. 

Th e replacement fl oor 

has come at no cost to the com- 

Cr Barham said she would 

take the question on notice. 

When contacted by The 

Echo, Council’s executive manager 

of planning Ray Darney 

said it was ‘impossible to 

quantify what impact, if any, 

the draft LEP may have on any 

land values.’ 

‘Land values not 

planning matter’ 

‘Land values can be aff ected 

by a broad range of factors…’ 

he said, adding that values 

are not a planning matter for 

munity, say Council. 

Th e new facility features two 

multi-use courts marked for 

basketball, netball, futsal, volleyball 

and many other sports. 

Managers to be 

appointed 

In addition, there are two 

meeting rooms and two multiuse 

activity rooms suitable for 

dance classes, karate, art classes 

and many other community 

uses available for hire.

Planning and Assessment 

Act 1979.’ 

Th e LEP is being overhauled 

by the state and a new template 

provided to councils require 

that the current land zonings 

are transferred to a ‘like’ category. 

‘Th e current 7(f2) urban 

coastal lands zone is proposed 

to be zoned as E2 environmental 

conservation zone within the 

new draft LEP,’ says Mr Darney. 

‘The E2 zone within the 

new draft LEP, together with 

clause 4.2A, is consistent with 

the current 7(f2) zone and fea- 

Greg Ironfield, said the next 

stage is to appoint permanent 

managers for the facility. 

‘We’ve engaged casual staff 

to assist with the running of 

the building until a permanent 

management arrangement is 

secured. 

‘Management is currently 

considering submissions from 

relevant parties to run the 

complex and these will be reported 

to Council at the end of 

June for consideration, he said.

He says the proposed objectives 

of the E2 environmental

Mr Ironfield said procedures

Comment 

Volume 27 #01 June 12, 2012 

Slavery and imperialism still rule 

Genocide is on our doorstep and it looks like we are complicit. 

One of our closest neighbours, the West Papuans, are being 

systematically murdered and enslaved by the Indonesians, says 

indigenous activist and musician Ronnie Kareni. 

It’s a topic we don’t hear much about in the mainstream press, 

he says, because both Australia and Indonesia benefit from stripmining 

the region’s resources and subjugating its inhabitants. 

To most Australians, it sits to the left of Papua New Guinea. It’s 

not something I am proud of, but until I met Kareni and Blue King 

Brown’s Natalie Pa’apa’a, I had little idea about the place. And that 

appears to be how the Australian and Indonesian governments like 

it. The ‘free press’ like it as well, because advertisers who pay their 

wages are also profiting from the mining and rainforest logging, 

says Kareni. In light of that, it’s always worth thinking about where 

your next outdoor ensemble originates from. 

Since the Indonesian military occupation in the 1960s, it’s 

estimated over 100,000 West Papuans have been killed, according 

to www.freewestpapua.com.au. But Ronnie says studies from 

Sydney University in 2009/10 claim it to be around half a million. 

Its population of 3.5 million has been reduced to around 48 per 

cent indigenous, with the other half mostly Indonesian. It’s a stark 

difference to the time before the occupation, he says. 

Perhaps invading underdeveloped countries is not personal; 

after all, the indigenous are just getting in the way of expected 

returns on investments (ROI). Case in point is that the Freeport 

gold mine in West Papua is one of the largest on the planet. 

It harks back to the days of King Leopold II of Belgium, possibly 

the most evil imperialist to ever live. This fucker is responsible for 

the death of an estimated five to 15 million Congolese around 

the late 1800s. Eventually he was forced to hand over his private 

enterprise to the Belgian government, but that wasn’t before he 

extracted a fortune from the Congo. Initially it was ivory, but after 

a rise in the price of rubber, he enslaved natives to collect sap from 

rubber plants. 

It’s an uncomfortable truth that almost all wealth in human 

history has been created from slavery and the consumption of 

finite and polluting resources. Even more uncomfortable is a 

news cycle generally wasted on petty crime and celebrity gossip. 

At least we can be thankful that there are other options. To learn

Michael McDonald 

The latest gabfest on how to 

stop the human race – and by 

extension, the planet – stewing 

in its own juices will be held 

at the home of summits and 

street parades, Rio de Janeiro, 

on June 20–22. For those interested 

in historical coincidences, 

on June 20 in 1947 

Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel was 

murdered at the mansion of his 

girlfriend Virginia Hill, in 1977 

piping of crude oil from North 

Alaska began, and more auspiciously 

in 451 Flavius Aetius 

had a victory over Attila the 

Hun at the Battle of Chalons. 

Will the 2012 United Nations 

Conference on Sustainable Development, 

otherwise known 

as Rio+20, provide any history 

as significant as the above examples 

or will it just add more 

hot air to the sum of warmth 

enveloping the Earth? The excitement-free 

UN website on 

the gathering is at www.uncsd2012.org/rio20/index.html 

while the non-government organisations 

(NGOs) have set 

up camp at www.earthsummit2012.org. 

According to the UN, ‘… 

world leaders, along with thousands 

of participants from governments, 

the private sector, 

NGOs and other groups, will 

come together to shape how we 

can reduce poverty, advance social 

equity and ensure environmental 

protection on an ever 

more crowded planet to get to 

the future we want.’ Ah, the future 

we want – do our wants for 

a cheap coffee conflict with the 

needs for clean water in east Africa 

or the lifestyle of the pretty 

birds in PNG?

Donne noted in Meditation

30 per cent of threatened species 

are at risk because of consumption 

in the developed 

world. The study mapped the 

world economy to trace the 

global trade of goods implicated 

in biodiversity loss such as coffee, 

cocoa, and lumber. 

‘Our findings can be used 

to improve the regulation and 

product labelling of thousands 

of internationally traded products,’ 

said lead author Professor 

Manfred Lenzen optimistically 

in a media release. 

The study evaluated over five 

billion supply chains connecting 

consumers to over 15,000 

commodities produced in 187 

countries. This was cross-referenced 

with a global register of 

25,000 endangered and vulnerable 

species. 

‘Until now these relationships 

have only been poorly 

understood,’ Prof Lenzen continued. 

‘Our extraordinary 

number crunching, which 

took years of data collection 

and thousands of hours on a 

supercomputer to process, 

lets us see these global supply 

chains in amazing detail for the 

first time.’

‘Among exporting countries, 

where the species losses actually 

occur, on average 35 per 

cent of recorded threats can be 

linked to export-led production. 

In Madagascar, Papua 

New Guinea, Sri Lanka and 

Honduras, this figure is 50 to 

60 per cent. 

‘Papua New Guinea, for example, 

has 171 listed species 

threatened by export industries 

including mining, timber, coffee, 

and cocoa, to a few large 

trading partners, including 

Australia. Agricultural exports 

from Indonesia, another Australian 

trading partner, affect 

294 species, including tigers. 

‘Australia’s trove of unique 

species means that despite its 

high consumption, it is a net 

exporter of implicated goods 

including mining and agricultural 

products whose production 

often drives habitat loss 

and pollution that threaten 

particular species.’ 

The researchers hope sustainability 

labels become the 

norm, not the exception, 

helped by the information in 

their study. 

‘We shouldn’t let retailers 

make sustainability labels a 

premium product,’ said Barney 

Foran, a co-author of the 

study. ‘We should ask that they 

always stock products that are 

made responsibly, from the 

bottom shelf to the top shelf.’ 

On the production side, the 

authors recommend companies 

be required to make foreign 

suppliers accountable to 

the same production standards 

they hold at home. The authors 

also say countries should harmonise 

environmental laws so 

producers don’t simply relocate 

to the country with the least 

protections. Good luck with 

all that, and kiss cheap TVs 

goodbye. See the full report at

Soft Power 

On the occasion of the opening 

of Macquarie University’s Soft 

Power and Advocacy Centre 

(SPARC) the originator of the 

term ‘Soft Power’, US Professor 

Joseph Nye, was invited 

as the keynote speaker. In the 

university’s words, ‘Soft power 

is the power of attraction. It 

is constituted by institutional, 

cultural and place magnetism’. 

Their website www.mq.edu.au/ 

research/centres_and_groups/ 

sparc/ expands on this. 

Professor Nye was more explicit. 

He explained that power 

is the stuff you use to ‘get what 

you want’ and that this existed 

in various forms – economic, 

military, Soft etc – and he believed 

that Soft Power would 

become more important in the 

future, though ‘wars would still 

be important’. (Not regrettable, 

disastrous, unfortunate ‘last resource’ 

– just ‘important’!) 

But the strongest reality 

check came when Professor 

Nye cited Libya as a good ex- 

Better Start for Children with Disability & 

Helping Children with Autism Early Intervention 

Service Provider Panels 

Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) has 

established panels of early intervention service providers to deliver evidence based services to 

eligible children as part of the Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) package and the Better Start 

for Children with Disability (Better Start) initiative. The purpose of the panels is to improve access to 

targeted and appropriate early intervention services for eligible children. 

FaHCSIA is now seeking further applications from eligible organisations and sole providers who wish 

to apply for membership of one or both panels. 

Allied health professionals who are qualified and experienced in the disciplines of audiology, speech 

pathology, occupational therapy, orthoptics, physiotherapy or psychology are invited to apply for 

membership of the Better Start Panel as sole providers. 

Multidisciplinary early intervention services and consortia which include or can demonstrate a 

professional relationship with an allied health professional from the listed disciplines are also 

encouraged to apply. 

Early intervention providers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and child psychologists 

can deliver services as individual practitioners or form consortia to deliver services through 

membership of the HCWA panel. 

Applications for membership of the Better Start Early Intervention Service Provider Panel can be 

submitted online at anytime. For further information go to www.fahcsia.gov.au/betterstart 

Further information about applying for the HCWA panel and the application package can be found at

The long struggle for the health services we deserve 

� Having been involved in the 

long saga of trying to bring to 

fruition the proposal recommended 

by the NSW Health 

Department to have the Byron 

Shire served by a single, central 

hospital I can very clearly 

understand the disappointment, 

anger and frustration 

expressed at the recent public 

meeting held at the Mullumbimby 

Ex-Services Club. This 

single shire hospital, to replace 

the then Bangalow hospital 

together with the hospitals at 

Byron Bay and Mullumbimby, 

was first proposed in 1982 following 

an extensive regional 

review and study covering the 

whole of the state’s north-east. 

During the 30 years since 

the adoption of the then NSW 

Health Commission’s recommendation 

to close the Bangalow 

hospital and retain the 

other two shire hospitals until 

a new single hospital was built, 

with the promise of no diminution 

of services, the only positive 

has been the purchase of 

land for the new centre. Sadly 

the facts are that services have 

been constantly eroded despite 

numerous, hollow assurances 

given to the community that 

this would not happen. These 

reductions, which include, 

among many others, a significant 

reduction in the number 

of available beds, have resulted 

in large numbers of patients 

now having to be sent out of 

the shire for treatment which 

was available locally in 1982. 

I can assure Janine and Gill 

that they have the full support 

of all the other members of the 

Byron Shire Health Services 

Community Action Group as 

we continue our long struggle 

to ‘look after our own closer 

to home’.

all bring thousands of extra

this size – both permanent

The absence of a night-shift 

doctor will make things more 

stressful for the night nurse 

and will likely require more 

ambulance transfers to Tweed 

Hospital. Such costly transfers 

will negate any imagined cost 

saving flowing from the proposed 

cut in our local service. 

The ‘low use’ argument is also

stand-by fire-fighting rosters 

for the night shift because this 

is a low-use time?

Local council contenders get their mojo working 

� I believe Hermann Goering 

may have been misquoted 

on the back page of The Echo 

last week when referring to 

the new Byron Council election 

group the Community 

Independents. However, perhaps 

HG and some currently 

elected councillors may have 

cause to reach for their guns 

when prospective candidates 

begin to speak about community 

consultation and common 

sense approaches to problem 

solving in the Shire. 

‘Shoot first and ask questions 

later’ was also originally popularised 

by Hermann and seems 

to be a sentiment alive and well 

in Byron when it comes to installing 

CCTV in its streets. I 

agree with Paul Spooner (Echo, 

June 5) when he suggests that 

we should explore more creative 

solutions to ensure our 

streets are safe places to be at 

night. 

We all want our streets to be 

safe, but CCTV is expensive, 

arguably invasive and may not 

prevent crime at the end of the 

day anyhow! Security cameras 

are already prevalent in town. 

See how many you can spot 

on a walk up Jonson Street. 

Nine out of ten people walking 

around Byron are carrying 

high-definition video cameras 

in their pockets masquerading 

as mobile phones. 

Perhaps a community Facebook 

page entitled ‘Behaving 

Badly in Byron’ where residents 

and visitors can post video 

of offenders online might 

prove more effective? It would 

certainly be cheaper!

we will be hearing from him 

shortly regarding his plans 

for consumers to have more, 

more and more on the green

(‘Byron two-event policy confi

he please let us know via your

I imagine are circulating 

throughout the Shire: 

1. Will Gina Reinhart be joining 

him to present Eurovision at 

Tyagarah in my lifetime? 

2. Was his petition actually 

gathered at the Munich Beer 

Festival where signatories 


need artifi cial stimulants. 

Night time is a time for sleep, 

rest and regeneration, a meditation 

where we connect with 

our subconscious and receive 

messages of our truth. Staying 

awake all night is blocking our 

spirits’ directions. 

Byron is a small coastal 

town. People love it for its 

natural beauty and alternative 

lifestyle. If you want to ‘party’, 

go to that other place over the 

border. Let’s keep Byron a place 

of peace, meditation and spiritual 

connection with ourselves 

– that’s what people are looking 

for. Byron is a soul place, stop 

trying to make it like everywhere 

else – sleazeville.

While fully supportive of our

if Mr Noble considers it 

even mildly ironic that the oft -

Bard Bob, a recent guest at Mr

Comment/Pin This Up 

The future we want has a golden age for humankind 

Our immediate and longterm 

future is full of the 

promise of a golden age 

for humankind. We are now 

on a precipice, at a crossroads 

in our history where for the 

first time humanity has a 

collective enlightened vision. 

Science and religion are 

almost inseparable with their 

understanding of the sense 

of Oneness, which connects 

everything from the smallest 

organism to the vast expanses 

of the universe – and, perhaps, 

beyond. 

In the past these understandings 

and glimpses into such 

expanded realities have been 

restricted to the elite few. Up 

until now we have been able to 

count the number of standout 

visionaries and enlightened sages 

who have guided, predicted 

and fashioned our future. Now 

there are many alive today who 

exist with this expanded awareness, 

so many that we are all 

being touched by it. 

Regardless of our circumstances, 

we are all getting a 

part of this action; we are all 

becoming part of this globally 

enlightened consciousness that 

is hastening us towards this 

glorious positive future. The 

future we want. 

The future we must have 

is essentially one of co-operation, 

not competition. This 

new future depends upon 

�� 

Local environmental artist John Dahlsen was invited by the United Nations to write an essay for 

the upcoming Rio+20 conference – www.un.org/en/sustainablefuture/dahlsen.shtml 

communities forging together 

to create balanced lifestyles. 

This is already happening on a 

grassroots level in some of the 

more advanced communities 

worldwide, where people are 

beginning to farm and share 

their freshly grown produce, 

whether it be vegetables or 

fresh-baked bread and eggs. 

People realise that the way we 

have been treating this planet 

is unsustainable. It’s also unsustainable 

for us to treat our 

bodies with neglect by eating 

overly processed foods. 

We don’t need to revert to 

becoming cave men. However, 

we do need to safeguard our 

future by planning to become 

more natural in just about every 

way. Unsustainable ways of 

living have been at best a misunderstanding 

through accepting 

this reality for so long, and 

at worst a sign of enormous 

greed on the part of big business 

and ourselves. The future 

we want will bring a natural 

end to these outdated modes 

of living. 

The future will have love and 

awareness of higher consciousness 

as the basis of our interconnectedness. 

This will be the 

future we want, a world where 

business develops safeguards 

for consumers that ensure only 

products with awareness and 

have expanded consciousness 

at the core of their inception. 

In places of greatest population 

concentration, for example, 

the future we want will 

have in all buildings fresh water 

captured from their surfaces; 

energy needs will be generated 

only from renewable sources 

including solar and wind. 

Our future methods of 

transport will of course also be 

transformed, as a result of the 

cessation of carbon-emitting 

modes of transport. Bicycleways 

and walkways will be 

prevalent and more popular as 

people wish to stay healthy and 

fit through regular daily exercise. 

In the future there will 

be no poverty and all nations 

will join together as a global, 

borderless reality to ensure all 

people of the earth have adequate 

food and a balanced, 

prosperous lifestyle. 

All forms of visual and airborne 

pollution will be nonexistent 

so that once again we 

will be able to visit and walk 

among our cities and enjoy 

streetscapes with beautiful 

gardens and terraces complemented 

by contemporary art, 

architecture and design, all of 

which will be created with ecologically 

friendly intention. 

As a way of further achieving 

these future wants, we need 

to take note of organisations 

such as Transition Towns, for 

example, a grassroots network 

of communities dedicated to

LETTERS from page 15 

Meanwhile in our particular 

universe, with carbon emission 

rates still growing, it is 

obvious that the the fossil fuel 

multinationals are succeeding 

in making suckers of at least 

half the world with their global 

doubt and disinformation 

campaigns. When and if the 

frogs in heated water finally 

hop out and realise they have 

been duped, then we will get 

some real preventative action. 

At present we are headed for 

global disaster. Let’s not kid 

ourselves, our only escape will 

be a zero carbon economy, fast! 

What we need is investmentfriendly 

legislation to underpin 

installation of large-scale renewable 

energy. The Germans 

are doing it pretty well with a 

three pronged approach: 

�� 

and size of renewable technology. 

�� 

market participants to accept 

renewable electricity production. 

�� sion 

providers to build transmission 

connections to new 

installations. 

While individual installation 

of home power systems is attractive 

to the independently 

minded, the national cost, at 

present, would be a least twice 

that of solving the problem collectively.

Obfuscation

about the arbitrary chopping 

down of large roadside trees 

in Broken Head. Readers will 

recall that Jan Barham ordered

then supported by an urgent

actions in a report to the next

responsibility of manager Phil 

Holloway – was a classic example 

of the kind of obfuscation 

that elected councillors regularly 

have to deal with. It failed 

�� 

commence this work without 

the councillors’ knowledge or 

why it was necessary to chop 

down so many trees in a high 

value conservation zone and 

in disregard of explicit council 

policy, or what was done with 

the timber, or why the contractor 

was chosen without a 

tender process, or where compensatory 

trees will be planted. 

I’m also under-impressed, 

Mr Holloway, that an other old 

trick was sprung on the council 

and the public: a complex 

document (about ecological 

damage, apparently) delivered 

for councillors’ consideration 

on the very morning of that 

council meeting, with a recom- 

�� 

– and no opportunity therefore 

for public input. Well, the 

council did vote to go into con- 

�� 

�� 

that the document itself was 

�� 

no problem in me getting a 

copy of it, should there? 

�� 

couldn’t believe that Jan actually 

proposed rejecting the roadwork 

grant money that has to 

be spent by June 30 and propose 

instead merely doing the 

minimal roadwork required 

to complete what’s already 

been started. You’re ‘giving 

this money away’, he grieved. 

‘I must be missing something’, 

he said over and over again. 

I agree, Ross, I heartily agree. 

Just because it’s somebody 

else’s money doesn’t mean we 

have to waste it on whatever 

springs to mind, does it.

Gone Fishing 

SIX-PIECE REGGAE/DUB OUTFIT KINGFISHA HAVE TAKEN JAMAICAN 

RHYTHMS AND INFUSED THEM WITH HONEST SONGWRITING AND 

STRONG MELODIES TO CREATE THEIR OWN SOUND… GENUINE, 

AUSTRALIAN REGGAE. SEVEN CAUGHT UP WITH THEM ON THE EVE 

OF THE LAUNCH OF THEIR SELF-TITLED CD AT THE BYRON BREWERY 

BUDDHA ON SATURDAY. 

You guys are often compared to Fat Freddy’s Drop… are you flattered, or do you 

think that this overlooks your own very distinct sound? We are flattered that you 

find a distinct sound in our music. As with most musicians and artists we are influenced 

by a wide range of sounds and music and lots of the music that has come out of NZ 

over the years has definitely left its mark on our sound. 

What did you set out to do with your album? We set out to create the best recordings 

of the best songs we had written up to that point and we also wanted to create a strong 

album as a whole and not just a collection of songs. It gave us the opportunity to 

explore some different moods and ideas and hopefully it will also introduce the band to 

a wider audience. 

How did you feel about the results? We are really happy with the final product and 

have been getting some good feedback, which feels great. It is a very satisfying feeling 

to work towards and achieve a long-term goal, especially when at times it felt like it 

might never happen. 

Sat 16 June 

FAT ALBERT BAND 

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

Do you feel that this album really brings your five years of work together? Without 

wanting to sound to dramatic or romantic, it really is the culmination of many years’ 

work for us. Some members of the band have played together for more than a decade 

and this is the first full-length album we have recorded and released. It definitely 

reflects the sound we have developed over time. 

How has your sound developed and changed since those early days? Our sound 

has changed as different members have come and gone. We are also moving from a 

predominately guitar-based sound to a more synth-influenced sound. Reggae is roots 

music and dub is technology and our sound will always draw on both. 

What do you think is the essence of a Kingfisha gig? We avoid 

hype and try to draw the audience in, and we try and engage the 

audience in a more subtle way, letting the music speak for itself. 

How do Australian audiences respond to Kingfisha? We’ve had some great shows 

around the country and we really hope to get to places like WA, Tassie and some more 

regional tours in the coming years. 

What should we be expecting for your show at the Buddha Bar? Byron is always a 

great place to play and doing the show with friends Kooii means it will be a fun night 

for all involved. Expect to hear a bunch of songs from the album with some old tunes 

getting a makeover especially for the tour. 

They play Byron Buddha Bar on Saturday with Kooii from 8pm. Tix are $15 pre-sale 

(from the venue) and $20 on the night.

WEEKLY UKE 

Stukulele, the brains behind the monthly phenomenon at the 

Courthouse in Mullumbimby called Uke Mullum, expands his evil 

empire by ensuring there is not a man, woman or child in the shire 

who cannot hold a uke with pride. Stu is kicking off Uke Club, a weekly 

gathering where new and wannabe users can gather for instruction. In 

a live setting the crew can learn how to play, indulge in a bit of group 

practice, as well as get some time behind the mic if they are feeling 

game. At a very reasonable $10 per head (usually $25 for a group 

lesson). From 7pm at the Mullum Ex-Services every Monday night. 

BEACH BABY 

Shybaby heat up the Beach Hotel this Thursday from 8pm with a 

refreshing and eclectic selection of great songs delivered with energy 

and gusto! Lead singer Shiney Lefai and drummer Mel Greensil bring 

a sassy rock-chick fl avour to the band that has the delicious scent of 

girls just wanting to have fun. Together with guitarist Mick Lonsdale 

and Greg Buckman on bass, this fabulous four generate a rockin’ good 

vibe. So brave the cold, put on your fake fur and fun boots and come 

out and play. 

DIANA TAKES THE RAILS 

Diana Anaid takes time out from recording her fi fth album to do what 

she loves most – getting on the road and playing gigs. 

Her music possesses what Rolling Stone describes as an ‘emotional and 

sometimes primal energy’. It is as if all she has survived has removed 

any fear of total emotional surrender to the music. Diana’s organic 

and honest approach to songwriting has garnered a loyal fan base 

as well as critical success for her albums including 2004’s Beautiful 

Obscene, which crossed Diana into the mainstream and saw her fi rst 

young people matter 

A LIFE LESS EMAILED 

Once upon a time people functioned without email. When Adam 

and Eve approached the tree in the garden of Eden they didn’t send 

God an email for permission to eat forbidden fruit. Nor did God send 

a warning message. No, his was a pre-technology wrath, delivered 

directly from the jaws of a talking snake. 

Every day for hour upon hour I trawl through messages marked by 

little blue dots. I have nightmares that everything in my life that 

needs attention has a blue dot in front of it asking for my attention. 

A blue dot on the cat to remind me to feed him, a blue dot on the 

toilet paper holder to remind me to replace the roll, a blue dot on the 

sink to remind me to wash the dishes, a blue dot on my husband to 

remind me to… 

I can’t even begin to fathom how I ever got anything done before 

the invention of email. I don’t remember what it was like sitting at 

my desk uninterrupted by a constant stream of urgent demands, 

pleading requests, deadlines, proposals and spam. I don’t know how I 

managed to tell anyone anything. I don’t know how anyone managed 

to tell me anything either. I guess they phoned me up. Or they sent 

me a letter. Or, heaven forbid, they actually dropped around. Only

crazy people and Jehovah’s Witnesses come around these days. 

Ironically these are the people who I’d prefer sent me an email. So I 

could just press DELETE. It’s very hard to delete an actual person at 

your door. I tried dragging them into the trash, but apparently that’s 

called assault. 

In the old days we had an ‘IN’ tray. This was an actual tray that sat on 

your desk housing various things you needed to give attention. They 

went IN. When completed, they found themselves neatly in the OUT 

tray. The existence of jobs on paper seemed to make them more real. 

More concrete. More achievable. And when they moved to the OUT 

tray it was clear that you had achieved something. 

Emails power the daily rat wheel of incessant grind. Every day I wake 

up to a thousand tiny requests like ‘can you email me a new bio?’ or 

‘please fi ll in this form’, ‘do you have a logo?’, ‘can you perform at our 

venue?’, ‘when will you be paying your account?’. ‘Please fi le your story 

by tomorrow.’ ‘Can you do an interview with Blah about Blah?’ They are 

all perfectly reasonable requests. And while I am happy to supply the 

information or perform the required task, the volume and speed at 

which this incessant nagging persists does my head in. It is like being 

pecked to death by ducks. Death by a million paper cuts. The constant 

nagging tap on the shoulder, distracting you from your attempts at 

creating your earthly genius. 

The email beckons with the same repetitive urgency of an inpatient 

child going ‘Mum Mum Mum Mum Mum Mum Mum’ ‘WHAT???!!!’ ‘Ah, 

Nothing.’ Then ten minutes later ‘Mum Mum Mum Mum’, after you’ve 

struggled from the car laden with 10 bags of shopping, falling as you

speed to answer this urgent cry for help. ‘What? What is it?’ ‘Oh Mum, 

can you get me some water.’ 

It seems every day emails pour in, some I read, some I mark for 

later, some I forget about, some I completely miss. Right now I have 

13,482 messages received sitting in my inbox (and that’s just for the 

last 12 months) and 248 are marked as unread. It frightens me. As I 

set about to complete the myriad tasks set for me by the random 

multiplicity of masters who create my daily destiny, it occurs to me 

that my responses have initiated an avalanche of emails requiring 

more information. I am drowning in a world of cyber-expectation. It’s 

so easy just to pop off an email requesting someone forward you a 

phone number, confi rm a meeting date, and blah and blah and blah. 

It’s a piercing cyber shriek. When I think of an icon that best suits my 

inbox and how I feel about it, it would be Edvard Munch’s The Scream. 

One of the great feelings when one has a job is to reach the end. Like 

walking away from a lawn that has been mowed, or a house that has 

been cleaned. A sense that one has worked hard to earn a clean slate. 

Ah, a clean slate, job done, and the ability to walk away. It is my thesis 

that the rise in anxiety and stress conditions is 

correlated with the uptake of email as a daily 

form of communication. I don’t think I’ve had an 

unbroken thought in a decade. It’s something I 

was planning on writing about. But fi rst I have to 

send a few emails.

IS BRINGING THEIR 

BREATHTAKING LIVE SHOW 

TO BYRON COMMUNITY 

CENTRE AS PART OF THEIR 

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TOUR. 

MANDY NOLAN CATCHES UP 

WITH THIS WORLD FUSION 

SENSATION. 

Why do you think your music is so sensual? I think it’s the 

combined power of the rich music and pulsing rhythms as well as 

the connections between each player on stage. We feed off each 

other’s and the audience’s energy and because the music is so 

uninhibited and bold, I think it invites people to let go and feel like 

they’re part of an organic, yet exotic and intoxicating, experience. 

How do you transcend cultural boundaries? Mzaza’s aim is 

to create music that has a flavour that will interest many. With 

influences from a number of different traditions and our own 

original spin, we combine traditional and contemporary elements to 

create something that everyone can enjoy. We hope that through 

this we can spark an interest for the broader audience in some of 

these less-well-known and obscure music traditions so they might 

endeavour to learn more about them. However, Mzaza also believes 

strongly in maintaining a deep integrity and consideration when 

using music from foreign traditions. All the members of Mzaza strive 

to learn as much as they can about the music and how it operates 

within these cultures. We always aim to communicate traditional 

elements in an authentic way so that audience members from some 

of these cultural backgrounds are able to appreciate and connect 

on a more cultural level. 

What goes through your mind when you are playing? Of course 

we are thinking, feeling and listening to what each other is doing. 

We’re all pretty familiar with the rhythms/forms of these kinds of 

music but we’re conscious of the overall sound and those stops, 

THE POSTMORTEMISTS’ LIVE 

KARAOKE JUKEBOX AT THE 

BANGALOW BOWLO ON SATURDAY 

STRANGE DAYS INDEED 

Dr Strange were originally a three-piece, until these guys used to rock 

the north coast music scene more than 20 years ago. These days there 

is a much younger outfit filling the shoes, playing pop rock classics as 

well as a mix of random surprises, and thriving on the enthusiasm of 

the audience. Check out the new blood for yourself, Sunday at the 

Hotel Brunswick. 

MERRY MEN 

His Merry Men are Brisbane’s freshest funk band sporting some of the 

town’s finest young musicians. With the group’s rich musical training 

and diverse backgrounds, HMM creates a non-stop, dance-your-feet-off 

show. 

Their unique style is a potent fusion of funk, reggae, and Latin, 

combined with suave outfits and great energy, and His Merry Men 

wowed the crowd. No encouragement from the band is needed to get 

punters up the front grooving. Friday at the Beach Hotel. 

FREE WORKSHOP FOR MUSICAL MAMAS 

There aren’t too many things offered free these days but that is exactly 

what mother of four and music coach Kathryn Jones is offering 

the lucky mothers of the shire. With her latest MOTHERS IN MUSIC 

WORKSHOP, Kathryn helps women wishing to create a clear pathway 

back into music whilst juggling the all-important role of being a 

mother. Her philosophy is simple: motherhood and music need not be 

mutually exclusive. 

A professional musician herself, Jones is a veteran who started 

gigging at 14, paused at 24 to start a family, then plunged back into 

performing when she knew the timing was right. Kathryn is excited to 

introduce four inspiring speakers contributing on the day: Jim Kelly, 

Phil Sheridan, Pollyanna Darling and Lydia Storey, all professionals 

in their fields who, along with Kathryn, will share their industry 

builds and tempo-stretches of eastern European and Middle- 

Eastern music that make it energetic and moody. 

How did the six of you come to be playing together? Some of 

us met through a Middle-Eastern and Balkan music session called 

Waziz. It’s a group of musicians who meet weekly to teach each 

other songs. Nowadays we meet at the Multicultural Development 

Association but over the last 10 years have mostly had our sessions 

hosted at a variety of West End cafes. Pauline and Greta are ‘original’ 

Mzazans; they have been playing together for seven years! Jordan 

and Stephen joined a couple of years later and John and Gwen 

have been with Mzaza for a year. Originally Pauline found Greta 

by leaving her number in cafes and asking Lebanese shopkeepers 

if they could pass it on to anyone they saw play Middle-Eastern 

instruments so I guess it was a bit of a fluke! 

How do you ensure that so many creative minds end up sharing 

the same vision? In a way it is our shared love for different cultures 

and traditional sounds that have brought us together. So we know 

we are together for that reason first and foremost. In terms of how 

we create music that reflects this and how exactly we put our touch 

on those traditional sounds – we keep an open dialogue and make 

sure we are all happy with what we are doing. We also discuss 

our vision for the future of the band to ensure we are all working 

toward the same goals and everything we do reflects our journey. 

The great thing is that for us it is about the journey, the gigs we 

play, the music we are working on, the people we meet. So we 

enjoy every step! 

What are the challenges that face Mzaza on a daily basis? 

Travelling with a double bass! It means we have to drive around in 

a 12-seater bus! And the double bass was broken during a plane trip 

coming back from the National Folk Festival! Apart from logistics 

we are a happy bunch really. Singer/manager Pauline dreads tour 

booking, but the reward of going on tour is a good motivator! 

What should we expect for your Byron show? Magic in the 

disguise of music! Expect to be transported to another world, and 

lifted above the daily grind, leaving you refreshed, inspired and 

rejuvenated.

FROGS ON TOAST 

Frogs on Toast has been called arguably the funniest show in 

Australia, has recently won the Australian Entertainment MO Award for 

Best Show Band. This follows their MO Award win for Best Showband 

and the Four Kinsmen Production Show. People often ask how the 

name ‘Frogs on Toast’ came about and the simple answer is that ‘Frogs’ 

refers to the French theme that features throughout the show and the 

‘on Toast’ is part of a northern English expression meaning ‘without 

effort’ or ‘easy’. The fact that frogs’ legs are a favourite of many French 

people complements the name overall. 

Saturday at the Ballina RSL. Doors 

open 6.30pm, show and dinner 

starts 7.30pm. Tickets available on 

line or at the club, $45.90pp. 

A TRIBUTE TO A KING 

Elizabeth Lord and Leigh James 

have created an exciting new 

tribute show, titled You got a 

Friend. The two musicians honour 

two of their favourite artists, 

people who have played a pivotal 

role in their own music careers: 

Carole King and James Taylor. Says 

Elizabeth, ‘There is quite a story to 

all this. Leigh went to the States 

to celebrate his 50th birthday in 

2009, and while there saw James 

Taylor and ended up with an 

invitation from the man himself 

for us to come back and meet him 

and Carole when they were here 

for their Troubadour reunion tour 

in 2010. Now, three years on, I am 

doing the same trip to celebrate 

my own 50th, and will meet James 

again, and, hopefully convince 

him to record one of our songs! I’m 

couch-surfing my way around the 

entire month of July and taking 

a video camera with me to take 

footage for a film clip for a song 

I have just recorded with Bobby 

Singh and jazz bassist Jonathan 

Zwartz called Lifting The Veil. 

They are joined by sax player 

Martha Baartz, where they will 

be featuring some of their new 

material as well as the cream of 

the Taylor/King covers. Saturday 

at the Ballina RSL, and the 

following Saturday 23 at the 

Mullum Bowlo.

Older women with 

attitude: biddies 

take the stage 

THIS FRIDAY NORPA PRESENTS BIDDIES, A SHOW 

ABOUT WOMEN WITH A PAST. ACTRESSES LINDEN 

WILKINSON, ANNIE BYRON, AND JULIE HUDSPETH HAD 

A CHAT WITH THE ECHO. 

Tell me about the show Biddies? 

LW: Biddies is a comedy based on a group of women, who discover 

through an unexpected turn of events they can let go of their pasts 

and look forward to a better, brighter future. 

AB: The best thing about Biddies is the phosphorescent wake of 

laughter and delight it is leaving all over the country. 

What are the kinds of stories that it tells? 

LW: The interesting thing about Biddies is that it directs its attention 

towards women’s education as the source of the characters’ 

diminishment; the characters discover in the course of the play 

that from very early on they were made to feel limited or stupid 

or inadequate. So all their subsequent decisions and choices were 

therefore based on a fl awed premise. Being a comedy, the play 

doesn’t dwell on the underlying story too heavily but just touches on 

it, letting the audience slip into refl ecting on their own lives, if they 

want to. 

AB: The play tells stories from the lives of ordinary women – which is 

why there is such a high level of recognition. 

The big-picture story of the play is the challenge of fi nding 

authenticity, independence and self-knowledge in the face of habits 

of meeting the expectations of others – teachers, parents, husbands, 

children, society in general. The conceit of the play is to put them in a 

situation that challenges them to reconsider their lives, and support 

each other through this challenge. 

Do you have to be careful when stereotyping older women? 

LW: Our great challenge in the script development/workshop process 

is to keep connected with women’s education as it was pre-60s; 

keep seeing their world through their eyes. I think one always has 

to be careful about playing a stereotype no matter what the role 

or drama is… you always have to look for the truth, which makes a 

character more complex and allows for the possibility discovery every 

performance. 

AB: Stereotyping anyone is something to be avoided. Our work as 

actors is to fi nd the truth in the character that ensures they are not 

stereotypes. 

CREATED BY 

We work with what our (male) writer has given us, and one of the 

wonderful opportunities of being with this play for so long is fi nding 

more and more moments of subtlety and connection between us. 

Why do you think older women become invisible? 

JH: Older women become invisible because they are not seen 

as potent and their wisdom is often not acknowledged or taken 

seriously by society. 

LW: I wonder if they still are as invisible as they were… invisibility 

is related to income, I think. The more income, disposable income, 

the more visible you become. With an ageing population, which has 

super to spend, I think we can expect more wrinkles on billboards and 

in magazines. 

AB: Many audiences have, understandably, been primarily women 

over fi fty. It’s great to have a show that celebrates this demographic. 

This recognition is one way to honour older women, many of whom 

do tend to feel somewhat ‘invisible’. 

Though that raises the question ‘invisible to whom?’ 

Every night in the theatre we see women who are not afraid to be 

who and what they are, past trying to impress those who deem 

themselves to have the ‘power’. 

I am reminded of Gloria Steinem’s prediction that the revolution to 

change the world for the better will be led by an army of grey-haired 

women! 

I’ll be one of that cohort. This play is a weapon in that arsenal, 

encouraging women to stand in the glory of who they are, and laugh 

out loud! 

How does your show deal with sexuality? 

JH: Sexuality is dealt with in an indirect way. There are six women in 

the play; each has her own take on relationships. Sex is also treated 

with humour in the play. 

LW: Rather than focusing on performance – sexual performance – or 

availability, getting it and not getting it – jokes that belong to other 

generations, sexuality in Biddies is more poignant, I think – its absence 

is couched in terms of loss of another, grief, loneliness. Also its 

absence is a source of joy, particularly when it’s been a battleground 

for abuse. So sexual humour is derived from the spark of allure, of 

future dalliances, rather than orgasmic aspirations. The ‘C’ word here is 

Companionship ! 

AB: The play alludes to sexuality in a number of diff erent ways – 

whether they are getting any or not. Relationships with men hold 

a big part in the lives of all these women – whether they have 

had no husband or three, whether these husbands are living or 

dead, whether or not their husbands are confi dent of their own 

heterosexuality. 

Do you think we value our elder women enough, and if not, how 

could we honour them more? 

JH: No we don’t value older women. We need to acknowledge they 

are a source of wisdom and have skills that are underutilised. 

LW: We need to value everyone more – wouldn’t that be great? 

What are the reactions you are having to the show from women, 

particularly younger and older? 

JH: Older women fi nd it affi rming and recognise the individuals. 

Younger women have a more varied response: but overall most fi nd 

the show humorous. 

LW: We thought we would be really only relevant to older audiences 

but that doesn’t seem to be the case… younger female audiences 

love us as well. Guess we remind them of women they know really 

well!

BYRON THEATRE COMPANY: BECKETT 

Samuel Beckett (1906–1989), novelist, poet, playwright, and theatre 

director, is considered one of the most important and infl uential writers 

of the 20th century. Born in Ireland, he lived and worked most of his 

life in France, where he was highly decorated for his participation in 

the French Resistance in WW2. Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize 

for Literature in 1969. His play Waiting for Godot changed drama forever 

and he continued exploring his unique vision with the plays Endgame 

and Happy Days. He is often labelled an ‘absurdist’ and his extraordinary 

theatrical images have burned their way into the collective unconscious. 

They continue to defi ne (and challenge) the avant-garde in theatre. 

Once seen, his plays haunt us forever. His late plays are both 

experimental and the assured master-works of one of the greatest 

theatrical minds that ever lived. Don’t miss the Byron Theatre 

Company’s Avikal, Linda Rutledge and April Galetti when they present 

this challenging work at the Drill Hall, Mullumbimby, Friday and 

Saturday at 7.30pm and 6pm on Sunday. Tix at Barebones Bangalow, 

Mullumbimby Bookshop or at the door. 

EXTREME SNOW 

The Carlton Dry Snow Collective is a stunning documentary fi lm that 

takes audiences on a global adventure with adrenaline-fuelled skiers 

and snowboarders as they challenge themselves on the biggest 

mountains in Europe, USA and to the wilds of Alaska. The fi lm follows a 

handful of snow athletes as they make a northern-hemisphere winter 

journey preparing for the World Heli Challenge in the Southern Alps 

of New Zealand. Join them on their annual pilgrimage through the 

well-known snow destinations and big mountains of Chamonix, France, 

Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the soaring peaks of Alaska. Screening 

Sunday at the Hotel Great Northern. 

ARTY FARTY PARTY AT BANGA BOWLO 

The Arty Farty Party is a night for artists of all walks to get together. It 

kicks off this Thursday at the Bangalow Bowls Club and features the 

house band, also named The Arty Farty Party. AFP is Lenny Bastiaans 

on vocals, bass and guitar, Azo Bell guitar and vocals and Nick Fisher on 

drums. Each week the Arty Farty Party present special guests; music is to 

be mainly improvised, funk, jazz and avant-garde. MCs are Frank Coorey 

and Angus Thurgate, poets with comic verse at hand. This week’s 

special guest is comedian Akmal Saleh. It is also the vision of the AFP to 

promote art each week by hanging the works of local artists. Artists are 

invited to express interest by emailing a short blurb and attaching jpegs 

of three works to the artyfartyparty@y7mail.com. 

It’s a cultural feast at the Bangalow Bowlo, Thursday from 7pm. 

ROAR GENIUS 

Wake up and Roar is the art exhibition by Gito von Schlippe at the Space 

Gallery in Lismore. 

Hailing from Germany, where he has lived as an artist with exhibitions 

in Switzerland, Italy and USA, Gito has expanded his artistic expression 

to ceramics and sculpture. Now he lives with his family in the Australian 

rainforest. Here he creates life-size sculptures and colourful paintings 

at his handbuilt home and nature studio. In this collection we see the 

metamorphosis of a sheep turning into a cougar throughout various 

paintings and sculptures. On show at Lismore TAFE Gallery until Friday.

This week needs you playing it cool. Thinking 

courteous instead of assertive. Reasonable rather than 

righteous. Unflappable, not reactive. Taking things slow 

and steady rather than fast and furious during midweek 

Aries moon, when uncontrolled outbursts could burn 

bridges and leave scorch marks on sensitive situations. 

��TAURUS: Talk’s cheap, and this week there’s lots going 

on. Everyone’s talking the talk, but not everyone will 

walk the walk so don’t rely on promises – not with 

Venus in the sign of unreliable. Minor drawbacks aside, 

this week livens up your smarts, style and social cred. 

��GEMINI: With this week’s triple blitz of Sun/Venus in 

Gemini joined by Jupiter for the next twelve months, 

you’re this year’s fortune cookies and lucky ducks. So go 

ahead and flaunt your stuff, but know that exhausting 

your nervous system isn’t a smart start to your brilliant 

year. 

��CANCER: Since this week’s stressful aspects could 

include sudden unsettling turnarounds and angry 

clashes, smart Crabs will keep clear of over-assertive 

advances or expectations. Which won’t in any way keep 

Mercury in Cancer from having its say about what’s no 

longer acceptable in your life.

MENOPAUSE RETURNS 

After a successful performance in Byron last April, the stylish 

international sensation Menopause The Musical returns for one night 

only to have audiences once again laughing out loud to parodies of 

classic tunes from the 60s, 70s and 80s. 

Menopause The Musical IN CONCERT crystallises all of the magic, the 

entire script, songs, laughter and tears of the original stage show, 

slips it into a cocktail dress, and pours it into an evening of fun and 

elegance in equal measure. Designed with a classic palette of white, 

sultry red, and moody blues on blacks, then overlaid with the shimmer 

of starcloths and disco balls, this is a cabaret event both dazzling and

THE HOTEL GREAT 

NORTHERN ON 

SUNDAY 

karmic accounting’s coming up, during which it’s 

advisable not to aggravate antsy situations by insisting 

on having the last word. Get a reality check from 

someone who’s not afraid to give you fearless feedback 

– then go party. 

��VIRGO: This week’s ask is finding positive, therapeutic, 

constructive outlets for irritations and frustrations… 

Could be riding a bike, or taking a hike, sorting drawers 

or deleting desktop detritus. Make it your own personal 

feel-good activity, and if that’s pleasure spending or 

indulgent pampering, go right ahead… 

��LIBRA: With misjudgment this week’s downside, 

filtering truth from junk information won’t be easy. 

So ask questions. Be discriminating. Hold off making 

decisions till you’re sure of the facts. And if you don’t 

think you’re achieving much, be assured there’s plenty 

going on at the cellular level. 

��SCORPIO: If you made a commitment to drop one 

grudge, resentment or painful memory per day, life 

could look very different by the weekend. Your heart 

would feel clearer, your mind lighter and you’d be able 

to gracefully handle any resentments or projections this 

week aims your way. 

��SAGITTARIUS: Your expansive planetary ruler Jupiter’s 

intimate. Imagine if Marlene Dietrich 

came from Dubbo, had borrowed Mae 

West’s sense of humour, and decided 

to share her experience of ‘The Change’ 

in Rick’s Cafe (Casablanca). If you can, 

you are close to the collusion of stylish 

cabaret – catch Menopause once more

Centre on Monday, 8pm. 

BUNYIPS IN LISMORE 

Do you know what a Bunyip is? Have 

you ever seen one? What about other 

secret spirits and creatures that live in 

Australia? Would you like to meet them? 

I, Bunyip is a unique performance 

of puppets, visual effects and multimedia 

that takes audiences deep 

inside the mysterious heart of 

Australian imaginings. Long known 

for their magical, lifelike puppetry 

and performances, Erth’s shows have 

transfixed children across the globe 

including their hugely popular Dinosaur 

Petting Zoo which delighted children 

in Lismore last year. I, Bunyip promises 

to be equally mesmerising, with an 

inimitable cast of unique Australian characters brought to life on stage.

the evening is Dave Thornton. With his accessible humour and freeflowing 

style, Dave’s success as a comic has quickly broadened into a 

range of performance credits on TV, radio and stage. Always a hoot. 

8pm. $25 at the club. 


move brings benefits through connections, networking 

and your ability to communicate. It opens up new 

possibilities and multiplies options. But its downside 

is speediness, so pace yourself to avoid the stressful 

consequences of moving too fast – like accidents, 

errors, miscalculations and faulty judgment. 

��CAPRICORN: With the present star scenario enhancing 

your confidence and charisma, expect a saucy week of 

wining, dining and brainstorming. Your presentation’s 

impressive, your organising skills awesome, and there’s 

nice vibes in your collaboration sector. But this exciting 

week also has surprises up its tricky sleeve… 

��AQUARIUS: If the planetary trifecta in a fellow ideassign 

has you mental as anything and taking on too 

much, then for your health’s sake chillax that busy brain 

and pay attention to your needs and moods. Because 

TLC is important right now, both for yourself and 

towards others. 

��PISCES: A week to pay attention – to listen, learn and 

adjust. If eruptions and upheavals send life into wobble 

mode, phone a friend who refuses to let existence 

lose its lustre. That way, no matter what’s happening, 

you’ll get to enjoy some of this week’s amazing 

entertainment.

ARTIST 

IN FOCUS 

JOHN DAHLSEN 

John Dahlsen has extended the sale of 

his environmental art, including driftwood 

and assemblage art and Byron Bay 

paintings, for the whole month of June 

after a successful initial four weeks of 

trading in May in his new temporary 

gallery. 

John now has the dual role of artist 

and gallery director, so there is no 

commission on the works. So for the 

month of June only, all works are 

reduced for another 30 per cent off the 

already massively discounted prices. The 

works are priced to sell. John wants the 

works to all move on to happy homes, 

FIVE DECADES OF 

CONTEMPORARY ART 

On display until 24 June, Almanac presents the generous 

donation made to the MCA by Ann Lewis and provides an 

extraordinary road map of Australian art practice over the last 

50 years, shaped by the vision of one of Australia’s best-regarded 

collectors. 

be it in Byron Bay or in the homes of our 

visitors. 

John and his partner Rago invite you to 

come and look for yourself and choose 

a work you may have always liked and 

can now afford. John and Rago want 

these artworks to end up on your walls, 

knowing that you will have something 

of meaning and beauty that you will 

treasure for a long time to come. 

John plans to devote his attention to 

the completion of his two books on 

environmental art at the end of June 

The exhibition begins with a 1953 abstract painting by modernist 

Ralph Balson, and later works by John Firth-Smith and Richard 

Dunn, and continues through to more recent works by Aboriginal 

artists from remote regions. 

The diversity of materials and approaches is reflected in the media 

and methods employed by the artists – from Robert Klippel’s 

delicately teetering metal sculptures to Hany Armanious’ hotmelt 

sculptures that solidify the negative spaces of various wine glasses. 

Similarly, works by Rosalie Gascoigne and Neil Roberts use found 

objects which carry the aura of their history. 

The exhibition includes a number of photographic works by artists 

such as Rosemary Laing and Anne Zahalka, which combine wit, 

scale and observation alongside compelling portraits and street 

studies by photojournalist Jon Lewis

LISMORE REGIONAL 

GALLERY 

Currently showing is children’s book illustrator/author, Roland 

Harvey. Engaging for all ages, this exhibition traces the 

development of some of Harvey’s best-known books with 

original sketches and watercolours. 

Steven Giese’s figurative images communicate ideas about 

the human condition, and often throw light on social and 

environment concerns, while Ted Harvey documented many 

international rock acts in 1972 such as Pink Floyd, Elton John and 

Cat Stevens. 

Adjoining the Gallery is Palate, a cafe for all seasons, run by 

award-winning chef Perry Hill (formerly executive chef of The 

Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay, Sydney). Perry’s passion for 

cooking with local seasonal produce led him to a simple concept 

– the daily menu. 

To celebrate the famous Lismore Lantern Parade, Palate will be 

hosting a Harvest Tasting Dinner based on some of their favourite 

suppliers on the evening of June 23rd. 

Lismore Regional Gallery: 131 Molesworth Street, Lismore.

Prometheus 

There is no getting away from 

it; Noomi Rapace is simply 

indestructible. If you thought 

she did it tough when she had 

that hideous dragon tattoo 

on her back, you should see 

what she has to endure with 

an astronaut’s perspex bubble 

on her head. Her self-enacted 

Caesarian – she does for 

pregnancy what Hitler did 

for vegetarianism – is a mini 

gore-fest. It is 2093, we’re on 

a planet an unimaginable 

distance from Earth and, with 

the blokes on her space ship 

dropping like fl ies, mighty little 

Noomi is entreated by David 

(Michael Fassbender) – ‘Doctor 

Shaw, I need your help!’ Which 

is obvious, for by this time he 

is just a severed head on the 

fl oor. In a fi lm that takes itself 

way too seriously, the scene 

was foot-stompingly idiotic, 

drawing guff aws from those 

around me. A sort of latter-day 

replicant, David is deliberately 

if enigmatically made to 

resemble Peter O’Toole’s TE 

Lawrence, but the early excerpt 

from David Lean’s masterpiece 

only renders all that follows 

as so much bunkum. Director 

Ridley Scott, with two classics 

of the sci-fi genre to his credit 

– Alien 1979), to which this is 

a prequel, and Blade Runner 

(1982) – has sadly and rather 

tiresomely bombed out with 

this messy and overblown 

fantasy. The opening sequence, 

while the credits are rolling 

and in which the 3D can be 

most keenly appreciated (you 

forget it’s there after a while), 

has a spellbinding menace, 

but it doesn’t take long for the 

wheels to fall off . For a start, 

there are too many characters 

vying for your attention,

including Charlize Theron, 

looking uncannily like a female 

Lawrence, as the daughter 

of a galactic Godfather (Guy 

Pearce). There are enough 

good bits to be amused by – I 

especially loved the snaky 

things that came out of the 

black oil to slaughter a couple 

of hapless crew members 

– and lip service is paid to 

deep philosophical questions, 

but CGI prevails. It’s all very 

confusing; is a giant octopus 

really the master of the 

Universe? ~ John Campbell 

Trishna 

After having a crack at Jude (1996), 

the always-stimulating British 

director Michael Winterbottom 

has turned again to Thomas 

Hardy for inspiration. This time he 

has gone so far as to transplant 

his story from Hardy’s dour and 

damp, nineteenth-century Wessex 

to the heat and dust of Rajasthan 

and the bright lights of Bollywood. 

Based on Tess of the D’Urbervilles, 

Trishna (Freida Pinto) is a dirt-poor 

country girl whose humble life of 

low expectation is turned upside 

down by a chance encounter. 

My recollection of the novel 

was vague, but throughout this 

adaptation of it I kept wondering 

‘where’s the other bloke?’ and 

‘what about the tragic heroine’s 

disputed lineage?’ The latter 

question is tenuously dealt with 

by Trishna’s connection with 

both rural poverty and big-city 

glamour, but Winterbottom has 

dispensed with the two men in 

Tess’s life to embody them both 

in the patrician Jay (Riz Ahmed). 

The fi lm fl ounders in long 

periods of torpor, its sluggishness 

accentuated by the extreme 

passivity of the central character. 

Trishna, as an everywoman of low 

social status, is a victim of others’ 

demands and expectations. 

Her beauty catches the eye of 

Jay, who employs her in one of 

his father’s hotels. Seduced by 

him, she returns in shame to 

her village, but the lovers are 

reunited and happily set up 

house in a swank apartment in 

Mumbai. The relationship frays 

when Jay returns from a trip to 

London. His transformation from 

besotted to hateful is a soap 

opera turnaround, his sudden 

caddishness and Trishna’s reaction 

to it not quite credible. Flawed 

though it is, the movie has a 

sublime soundtrack and is a visual 

mnemonic for Indophiles who 

thought that The Marigold Hotel 

might have been a bit heavy- 

handed with the 

air-brush – one 

fl eeting shot, of 

a crowded night 

market with two 

monkeys caught 

in the light as they 

scramble along the 

telegraph wires, is 

fabulous. You get 

the impression 

that Winterbottom 

may have been 

captivated by all 

that he pointed his camera at, 

which is fair enough. ~ John 

Campbell 

The Best Exotic 

Marigold Hotel 

What a joy… A disparate group 

of discouraged, jaded codgers 

in grey, stodgy England 

arrive at the awful truth 

that they have irrevocably 

entered their autumnal 

years. But need those years 

necessarily be ‘declining’? 

In India, an exuberant if not 

terribly businesslike young 

entrepreneur, Sonny (Dev 

Patel), has hit upon the idea 

of converting a crumbling 

Rajasthani palace into a 

retirement home for cashedup 

foreigners – ‘there are many 

countries,’ he explains with 

brutal innocence, ‘that don’t 

like old people.’ Director John 

Madden spares us the sweat 

and grime of Calcutta and the 

grim clutter of the twenty-fi rst 

century Indian metropolis, 

but he also sensibly averts 

the yellow brick road of ‘cute 

and quirky’ – though Madden 

wants to warm the heart, this 

is no sanitised, patronising 

travelogue. Unprepared they 

may be, but the characters 

involved will be changed 

in some way by their new 

surrounds – ‘all of life is here’, 

Graham (Tom Wilkinson), a 

lawyer who grew up in India, 

tells the xenophobic Jean 

(Penelope Wilton). Graham, 

gay and guilt ridden, is seeking 

out a lost lover; Evelyn (Judi 

Dench) is trying to fi nd her 

feet following the death of 

her husband of four decades; 

randy Norman (Ronald Pickup) 

is after a bit of boudoir action; 

Muriel (Maggie Smith) has 

made the trip to get a cheap 

hip replacement; Madge (Celia 

Imre) is the gold-digger, while 

Douglas (Bill Nighy) hopes for 

something better than the 

unsatisfactory options left

Café communities 

VICTORIA COSFORD 

Cafes, by and large, appear to be thriving 

in this gloomy economic climate. And it’s 

not only in Byron Bay either – home to a 

great array of them – but other little towns 

I happen to be visiting. At some cafes you 

cannot find seating; at others the customers 

spill outdoors, occupying any available 

surface to prop themselves up; in the case 

of Byron Bay’s perennially popular Top Shop 

throughout summer, the very lawn out front. 

It has much to do with the fact that, for less 

than $5, you become briefly part of a small 

community. Most cafe regulars are loyal to 

one or two: this is where the barista knows 

your name and your poison, where you bump 

into acquaintances, where you might even 

have a favourite seat. Perhaps, with so many 

of us feeling financially fragile, the cafe offers 

us a tiny piece of luxury in our otherwise 

unremarkable days, a smiling waitperson 

bearing a fleeting treat in a comfortable 

space with music and laughter. 

Statistics bear out their popularity. A recent 

Sydney Morning Herald article mentioned 

that the latest ABS figure show spending on 

restaurants, cafes and catering services up by 

10.6 per cent in April, $148 million ahead of 

April 2011, with NSW seeing growth of more 

than 30 per cent. The area strongly affected 

is the middle sector, the category into which 

most contemporary cafes fall. 

When I first moved to the area I was drawn to 

Espressohead, then in Jonson Street where 

cafe One One One now stands. Perhaps it 

had been recommended to me; at any rate I 

became swiftly seduced by superbly wrought 

Merlo coffee, and rarely went elsewhere. 

Maybe it’s the location – most definitely it 

continues to be the coffee – but I am still to 

be found sitting in that geographical position 

except that, several owners and a dramatic 

facelift later, it’s now an entirely different cafe. 

Espressohead moved over the road for a few 

years until fairly recently when it set up shop 

in the premises opposite the courthouse 

– another site that has seen its share of

cafe incarnations. I am chatting to Sam the 

owner, who had previously confided that 

he is the grandson of the man who founded 

the Nanda pasta business in Queensland. 

Hospitality very much in his veins, then. 

Alessandro di Pasquale – his full name – has 

been a part of Espressohead since 2004. 

He could well be an example of the new 

breed of hosts, roots firmly embedded in 

old European traditions but tuned into 

contemporary trends and demands, mindful 

throughout of achieving a sensible balance 

between work and play. Sam tells me that 

he worked as production manager for the 

Nanda family business for twenty years, 

then moved to the US where he alternated 

working in restaurants in San Francisco with 

playing music. Burnt out at a certain point 

he returned, aged 25, to Australia, where 

he spent a decade as concierge at the Gold 

Coast’s Marriott Hotel. 

It takes a certain type of personality to 

operate cafes, especially in a front-of-house 

capacity. I watch as Sam periodically slips 

away to welcome customers, make them 

coffees, bear them plates of cake. It’s a midweek 

mid-afternoon, for god’s sake, and 

mostly women turning up inexorably. How 

can he stay so nice? And yet even to the one 

woman who has brought along her own 

carton of lactose-free milk (please!) he is the 

essence of charm and hospitality; even to 

another, who has answered his question as 

to how her job was going with the flip reply 

that she’s too busy to work these days, he 

is unfailingly courteous and affable. ‘I come 

from a very hospitable family’, he tells me, 

‘I wake up every day enthusiastic – I work 

about forty hours a week and I surf. I’m very 

grateful. Yes, people are becoming more 

demanding, but if I didn’t like it I’d be in 

the wrong industry.’ What’s more, he would 

recommend it as a career to young people. 

‘It’s a worthy career now. It’s really changed.’ 

The Orion Curry House has had top reviews by 

international travel magazines as the great curry house 

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

of Excellence, the Orion is also producing the best coffee 

by Segafredo, continental all day breakfast, lunch, curry 

house dinner, and the mystical ambience to match. Come

Television Guide 

Since most of the movies this week are crap, we thought 

we’d look at a couple of new series which have considerable 

merit. No surprise they’re both on ABC1. 

1. Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell (Friday 8pm and repeated 

on Sunday at 10.05pm) has been a consistently funny satire 

on current affairs (and the English language) so far, as long 

as Micallef is not inveigled into cross-promotional interviews 

for movies such as Mabo. The Goon Show is one of his major 

influences, and you can see it in the style of the program, 

which is more absurdist than many Australian outings. More 

at www.abc.net.au/tv/madashell. 

2. In our choice of forensic dramas The Body Farm 

(Saturday, 8.30pm) beats out the American CSI clones and 

its more lugubrious and self-important British counterpart 

Silent Witness. Despite some gross examples of latex and 

fibreglass moulded into human body parts – what fun they 

must have making those! – this drama has a sense of humour 

about itself. This is helped by the excellent cast which 

includes an Asbergic scientist who apologises to insects 

he kills and a detective inspector played by Keith Allen, 

the chap who did the best camp version ever of the Sheriff 

of Nottingham. More at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/

News Extra 

Byron Shire and Arakwal people 

commit to shared future 

Byron Shire Council and the 

Budjalung of Byron Bay Aboriginal 

– Arakwal People have 

formally committed to their ongoing 

relationship. On Monday 

May 28 at Council’s Chambers 

in Mullumbimby, Council general 

manager Graeme Faulkner 

and mayor Jan Barham, in 

the presence of Arakwal elder 

Aunty Dulcie Nichols, signed a 

statement of commitment. 

Th e commitment is designed 

to strengthen the working relationship 

between Byron Shire 

Council and the Bundjalung of 

www.venganza.org 

Byron Bay Aboriginal – Arakwal 

People. Th e relationship 

between the two groups has 

grown since Council in 1998, 

became the fi rst local government 

in NSW to establish a formal 

relationship with its Native 

Title claimants. 

Happiness study reveals happy pensioners, 

debunks ‘middle-age blues’ 

People are at their happiest at 

retirement age and their most 

miserable in their geriatric 

years, a new study has found. 

The study into the ‘happiness 

wave’, conducted by Dr 

Tony Beatton of Queensland 

University of Technology and 

Professor Paul Frijters of Th e 

University of Queensland, has 

revealed how happiness changes 

over a lifetime for people living 

in Australia, Germany and 

Britain. 

‘We all strive towards happiness, 

but we wanted to fi nd 

out at what point in life we actually 

reach this goal,’ said Dr 

Beatton. 

Th e same study has debunked 

the idea of the middle-age blues, 

blaming an over-representation 

of unhappy respondents in previous 

surveys. 

Collecting data from more 

than 60,000 people in Australia, 

Britain and Germany, the 

pair found people were happi- 

est as they entered retirement 

age (55–75), and most miserable 

close to death (80–90). 

For a representative 18-year-old 

with a happiness level of 7 on 

a 10-point scale, the peak happiness 

age was found to be 65 

in Australia, reaching 7.3, compared 

with Britain (7.2 at aged 

70), and Germany (7 at 65). 

‘Our interpretation of these 

findings is that individuals 

over 55 no longer have unrealistic 

expectations of what their 

life will be like and simply enjoy 

their reasonable health and 

wealth, leading to a marked 

surge in happiness. As their 

health starts to deteriorate after 

75, their happiness plunges,’ 

said Dr Beatton. 

The study considered figures 

from three surveys – the 

Household, Income and Labour 

Dynamics in Australia 

(HILDA) survey of 16,000 

people in Australia, the British 

Household Panel Survey 

(BHPS) of 25,000 in England 

and the German Socioeconomic 

Panel Survey (GSOEP) 

of 20,600 people in Germany. 

It found in Australia, happiness 

peaks at 7.3 by age 65 but 

then drops increasingly fast as 

death approaches, with happiness 

levels at 6.6 at the age of 

90 and over. 

In Britain, the fi gures were 

similar, with the happiness 

peak slightly later at age 70, 

and the peak itself not as high 

as for Australians, reaching 

only 7.2, then declining to 6.3 

over the age of 90. 

‘Life in old age is clearly relatively 

better in Australia than 

the UK, perchance because of 

the better weather, more generous 

public pensions, and more 

space for the grey nomads to 

roam,’ said Dr Beatton. 

The study has since been 

published in the Journal of 

Economic Behaviour and 

Organisation. 

A murder of crows 

I 

saw the crows by the roadside. It was not unusual 

around the edges of the town of Greenery. 

Motorists, running their precious cargo 

of children to school in SUVs, ignored the 80k 

zone and ran down wildlife in their haste to be 

on time – and to get back to their friends at the 

café or the morning yoga session. Echidna, possums, 

bandicoots, swamp hens – rich pickings. 

I admire the crows, if a little grudgingly. Th ey 

are smart birds and rarely fall victim to speeding 

cars. Th ey have a busy social life, if their 

calls to each other are any indication. To tell the 

truth, the roads would be a mess without their 

scavenging service. Th e only thing unusual that 

morning was that the crows were not exactly 

roadside, but a little way off , a black feathery 

tangle in a patch of swamp reeds. Perhaps a 

swamp hen had staggered there aft er being hit 

by mum’s taxi. 

Th e collective noun for crows? A murder. 

Seems appropriate, though they are more recyclers 

than assassins. Magpies come in a tiding, 

though they’re just inclined to knock off a 

small bird if the occasion arises. Butcherbirds 

don’t get a look-in in the ‘Terms of Multitude’ 

appendix to John Train’s handy 1980 reference 

Remarkable Words with Astonishing Origins. 

Handy in that I enjoy picking up odd bits of 

information – like a bowerbird perhaps. Handy 

also at trivia nights until my winning streak 

on the newspaper team paled aft er too many 

claret-soaked evenings drift ed past midnight. 

If only they culled the number of questions to 

fi ft y. An abattoir, that would be butcherbirds. 

Strange that Australians use the French for their 

slaughterhouses rather than something bluntly 

Anglo-Saxon. It can’t be handily shortened, either, 

like barbie, brekky, bikkie. Abattre, to fell. 

One fell swoop, goodbye wren. 

But I am not hired to admire crows. A reporter 

for the Greenery Post, I was headed for a 

private house in Frangipani Close, where civicminded 

residents were collecting and packing 

goods to send to fl ood victims in Queensland. 

Rain still hung in the humid air, the clouds 

threatening to send down another dump. Water 

glistened on the wing mirrors of the removal 

van, supplied gratis by a local company, outside 

the brick house of the philanthropists. I was 

not surprised to be greeted at the door by Jenny 

Rose, a do-gooder on an epic scale. Piercing 

blue eyes took in everything and did not suffer 

fools. She roused her fellow volunteers to 

greater eff ort in the same way a crime boss 

might encourage a minion to knock over more 

banks or fi nd out how walking felt without the 

requisite number of knees. 

‘Peter, you’re late,’ said Rose, smiling almost 

accusingly. When had a Post journo ever been on 

time? Who knew when the photographer would 

arrive? I shrugged, and got on with the who, 

what, when, where and why. I could have written 

it in my sleep and fi lled in the quotes myself. 

‘I’m sorry Grace is not here to talk to you,’ said 

Rose. ‘Aft er all, she’s the main organiser.’ 

Th e reason for Grace’s absence became apparent 

later when I returned to the Post offi ce. It 

seemed the weekly Post and the town of Greenery 

had grown up together, had slept incestuously 

as it were, locked together in a symbiosis 

of rumour, outrage, revelation, boredom, goodwill 

and footy. Th e Post had been there for only 

thirty years but the life of the sub-tropic village 

stretched back to the 1870s, when the cedargetters 

were supplanted by dairy farmers and 

graziers, banana growers and fi shers. Th e town 

enjoyed its own river and a harbour. Th e Norfolk, 

named aft er some dissolute English duke, 

ran lazily among mangroves to the sea, where 

rock walls protected a small harbour of prawn 

trawlers, a fl eet growing smaller each year as the 

local catch waned and imports waxed. Running 

between the rock walls was a hazard at the best 

of times and a good source of Post headlines: 

‘Fisherman Swept Onto Rocks’, ‘Pleasure Boat 

Capsized by Freak Wave’. Sometimes I longed 

to headline the real reason: ‘Pleasure Boat Cap- 

sized By Fuckwit Behind Wheel’. But in provincial 

journalism nature is always the enemy, 

not the foolish and unprepared who trespass 

on her turf. 

Th e owners of the Post, a couple of 1970s hippies 

who had moved up from Sydney, took advantage 

of the hayseed laziness of the Greenery 

Gazette, which had moved its operations south 

to bigger Ballina. By the time the original paper 

had realised its territory had been poached, it 

was too late. Th e Post owners came with publishing 

skills, with new ideas of graphic design 

and a line into the ethos of the new settlers, who 

came with marijuana and a knowledge of at least 

three diff erent types of coff ee. Just as Greenery 

was declining as an agricultural service centre, 

as the dairy farmers sold up and the fi shermen 

went on welfare, the new settlers brought new 

life and a supply of mostly-legitimate money. 

Cafés sprung up where co-ops once stood, pastries 

replaced corned beef sandwiches. Th e old 

guard jacked up at fi rst, staunch National Party 

folk who remembered when the Anthony family 

ruled the north coast like a private fi efdom, 

but some realised that a dirty hippy’s money was 

also part of honest commerce. As for the real 

estate agents, they had the sharp sensibilities of 

a murder of crows. 

My boss, Malfease John Edwin McMedicant, 

a sardonic Scot, has been the Post editor since 

1992. Originally a freelance hack, he has also 

a knowledge of pre-computer typesetting and 

layout and can spot a comma in the wrong font, 

a skill lost on the general public. We share a love 

of trivia but that’s about it. Left to his own devices 

by owners happily busy with their property 

portfolios, McMedicant gradually retreated to 

the musty sanctum of his offi ce and left the digging 

to his reporters. Th ere he spent the week 

craft ing an editorial of 500 words or so, doling 

out stories, sampling clarets sent round by 

friendly bottleshop owners, and playing on his 

computer a mindless role-playing game called 

Mages Of Morph, which went on forever and 

helped him relax, according to McMedicant. It 

helped that one of the baristas at his favourite 

café was also an addict, and they could be found 

in the morning discussing the various merits of 

staves versus swords or the best enhancements 

for armour. 

‘Murder most foul,’ said McMedicant in his 

best Shakespearean voice when I arrived at his 

doorway. 

‘What?’ 

‘Murder most foul, Sharp. While you were 

talking packaged goods and benevolence at 

Frangipani Close, Grace Cossington Palfrey was 

lying dead in the swamp just up the road.’ 

‘Oh shit.’ 

‘Shit indeed. Hop on your bike and duck out 

there again, will you? If your mobile phone 

works and the fucking photographer’s mobile 

phone works, let him know too. We have our 

front page, Sharp, and we can spend the rest of 

the week drinking. At least I can.’ 

McMedicant turned back to the Mages, thus 

dismissing me.

Siblings on the Wright path for ASP world domination 

The Wright family name is 

synonymous with professional 

surfing with Owen and 

Tyler competing on the elite 

men’s and women’s ASP World 

Championship Tours. Now, 

after a two-year hiatus from 

competition, their sister Kirby 

is breaking back into the competitive 

scene. 

Two years ago Kirby won the 

prestigious ASP Women’s Star 

event at Newcastle’s Surfest 

and was looking like she was 

headed for the Top 17, until she 

gave it all away. 

‘There were a few reason why 

I stopped competing,’ Kirby 

said. ‘But the main reason was 

that I wasn’t enjoying it anymore 

and I was keen to start 

working full time. I know a lot 

of people didn’t understand 

why I did that, especially when 

I was surfing alright and could 

have tried to qualify. I just 

didn’t want to do it anymore. 

I’ve been brought up with the 

saying “do what you love and 

what makes you happy” and I’d 

lost the love and happiness that 

competing brought.’ 

This year Kirby had a change 

of heart and decided to get 

back into a competition rashie. 

She just missed out on entering 

the Australian Open of Surfing, 

then went on to win the 

trials at Surfest and made the 

6-Star Round of 48. Her breakthrough 

event was the 6-Star 

Telstra Drug Aware Pro where 

she made the Quarterfinals, 

but was eliminated by eventual 

event winner Courtney Conlogue 

(USA). 

‘When I stopped competing 

I never thought I’d go 

back,’ Kirby said. ‘But here I 

am almost six months into the 

year and loving my decision 

to come back. I just wanted 

to get back into my surfing at 

first and after two years off I 

knew it was going to take time 

and I was excited to see where 

the decision took me. After 

six months of surfing, training 

and trying to improve on 

everything I’d slacked off on in 

the two years, I thought “yeah 

why not let’s give this a go” and 

I’m having some fun with it.’ 

Kirby cites a conversation 

with her brother Owen, current 

ASP World No. 10 as one 

of her inspirations to get back 

into competitive surfing. 

‘I think what really clicked 

for me to compete again was a 

conversation with my brother 

Owen,’ Kirby said. ‘I’m not like 

Owen or Tyler as pretty much 

anyone who has met us knows. 

He knew I’d been thinking 

about coming back and just 

opened my eyes to other ways 

of competing, ways I’d never 

thought about and ways that 

suited me.’ 

Over the last two years the 

level of women’s competitive 

surfing has been going through 

the roof thanks to the likes of 

Carissa Moore, Sally Fitzgibbons, 

Stephanie Gilmore and 

the exciting crew of young 

women on the ASP Women’s 

World Championship Tour. 

‘So much has changed!’ Kirby 

said. ‘These girls have taken 

women’s surfing to another 

level, it’s awesome. It’s a shame 

there’s not as many events as 

there used to be, but the girls 

have excelled anyway, that’s the 

main thing. I wouldn’t say my 

surfing is a hundred per cent, 

but it’s the best it’s ever been and 

I still want to keep improving.’ 

Now that she’s back competing 

does Kirby see herself joining 

her sister Tyler on the ASP 

Women World Championship 

Tour? 

‘I love Tyler!’ said Kirby. 

‘She is seriously the best sister 

anyone could have. It would 

be great to qualify and travel 

around together and try kick 

each other’s butts in the water. 

I’m lucky to see the standard of 

the WCT everyday. It pushes 

me to go even harder and not 

slack off even though sometimes 

I want to. This year my 

goal is to make the top five on 

the ASP world rankings, but I 

like that I have no pressure on 

myself if that doesn’t happen. 

I’m just really happy that I’ve 

had the opportunity to come 

back and being able to travel to 

all these beautiful places and 

enjoy parts of the world that 

I never would have if I wasn’t 

competing. 

Kirby is currently seventeenth 

on the ASP Women’s 

World Ranking, six places off 

qualifying for the ASP Women’s 

World Championship 

Tour. It’s going to be an excit- 

Wright brother Owen, took a narrow second place to Kelly Slater 

during their round four clash in draining 1.5 – 2 metre waves at 

Restaurants, Tavarua, Fiji on Saturday June 9, 2012. 

Wright posted a pair of excellent scoring rides, an 8.50 and a 

9.40 (both out of ten) but they were still not enough to defeat 

the 11X ASP World Champion who won the heat with a perfect 

10.00 and an 8.83. Photo Kirstin Scholtz. 

Where surfing and gymnastics meet 

Competition surfing is more 

progressive and stylish than 

ever before. With innovative 

manoeuvres becoming part 

of main events on the international 

surfing calendar, surf 

coaching is moving to the next 

level. 

Surfing NSW and the NSW 

Academy of Gymnastics joined 

forces in an effort to develop a 

component of the SPC (Surfing 

NSW Performance Camp), that 

would breed confidence and 

build skills in young surfers. 

Specific to progressive surfing 

is the aerial practice participants 

achieved in the SPC 

camp; collaborating with the 

NSW Academy of Gymnastics 

was key in putting the young 

surfers in the right mind frame. 

Combining gymnastics with 

surfing, and the use of video 

analysis software for kids at 

this early stage in their surfing, 

will be fundamental to the 

development of these up-and 

-coming NSW juniors. 

Blake Johnson is part of the 

SNSW Elite coaching team, 

which is headed by Surfing 

NSW state coaching director 

Hamish Nelson. Hamish and 

his team are working on strategies 

that are specific to junior 

development in surfing camps 

up and down the NSW coast.

programs please contact

Ray White Group welcomes rate cut 

The Ray White Group has 

welcomed last week’s rate cut 

of 25 basis points, saying it is 

in tune with a changing tide 

in Australian property transactions. 

Ray White Group joint 

chairman Brian White said 

that the Reserve Bank cut for 

the second consecutive month 

supports a cycle shift in real 

estate, where the fl oor price, 

particularly in Queensland, 

has been found and significantly 

increased transactional 

numbers have been recorded. 

‘Ongoing doom and gloom 

in the property market appears 

to have been dramatically overstated, 

we’ve seen an unexpected 

and exciting change in our 

recently reported May fi gures,’

M r 

White 

said. 

‘ T h e 

Ray White Group hit 

the best monthly sales 

results for two years. In 

fact, that stellar May result 

followed a soft April 

month, so it’s a serious indication 

of a changing tide.’ 

He described the Group’s 

figures for the month just 

passed as ‘extremely encouraging’ 

with the total coming in 

at $2.5 billion. 

‘Both Queensland and Western 

Australia improved dramatically 

recording 23 per cent 

and 28 per cent on the previous 

year respectively.’ 

Support from the RBA 

for side-line buyers and 

existing homeowners 

paying 

off a mortgage 

is encouraging, 

Mr White 

said. 

‘We support 

aspiring homeowners 

to engage in the market 

at time when the reported 

doom and gloom is proving 

untrue.’ 

Positive trends in a volatile economy 

According to the latest PRDnationwide 

Quarterly Economic 

and Property Report, the Australian 

economy was still volatile 

but there were some positive 

trends for the future. 

It looked at 22 indicators, including 

consumer sentiment, 

population change, retail spend- 

ing and unemployment. 

The report found gross 

spending on housing finance 

was $20.3 billion during the 

month of February – equating 

to an increase of $1 billion. 

It also found home loan affordability 

had increased giving 

home hunters a reprieve. 

‘On average, Australian 

households now need approximately 

32.9 per cent of the family 

income to service their home 

loan,’ said PRDnationwide research 

director Aaron Maskrey. 

Australian property conditions 

are once again luring investors, 

according to the fi gures. 

Mr Maskrey said 33.9 per cent 

of the property market is now 

investor fi nanced and is expected 

to increase as rental yields 

across the nation continue to 

become more attractive. 

Th e research director said declines 

in property values were 

expected to slow over 2012. 

‘Looking at the macro level 

property market, the reality is 

that the rate of decline in values 

have slowed and could be even 

stagnant. 

‘Investors could now be 

tempted back into the property 

market as the rate of decline in 

values erodes away, while the 

equity market remains not only 

turbulent, but has provided returns 

inferior to fixed bonds 

over the past fi ve years.’ 

Mr Maskrey said for the 

month of February 2012, investor 

financial commitment 

increased by $400 million to 

record $6.9 billion.

At last a guernsey for Big Solar. One of Australia’s largest 

solar projects is set to go ahead in NSW following the 

announcement of a $129.7 million grant from the Australian 

government. Electricity and gas retailer AGL Energy, together 

with solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer First Solar, emerged 

as the successful grantees in the Australian government’s Solar 

Flagships Program. The $450 million project, to be built across 

two sites in Broken Hill and Nyngan, will see the establishment 

of 159 Megawatt advanced thin-fi lm PV solar plant with 

capacity to generate enough electricity to power about 30,000 

homes. See more at http://www.ret.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx.

Let the kissing of babies begin! 

Now that the Greens councillor 

Simon Richardson has 

launched his campaign as a 

mayoral candidate – gosh, that 

surprised everyone – the election 

is on in earnest and not 

a moment too soon because 

there’s only 89 sleeps to go! 

You’ll also learn in the letters 

on page 14 that Karin Kolbe 

has announced her candidacy 

for councillor and the Community 

Independents defend 

themselves against Backlash’s 

shocking scepticism. 

�� 

Th e footage of a violent acoholfuelled 

brawl and other assaults 

in Byron Bay’s notorious Jonson 

Street aired by Channel 10 

showed many of the perpetrators 

lapping up the attention 

from the TV cameras and even 

acting up to them. Th is sparked 

the question by an Echo drudge 

that ‘if they do this in front of 

the cameras, how on Earth do 

they think CCTVs will help 

deter violence?’ It was pointed 

out also that a bloodied victim 

of the brutal brawl being 

treated by paramedics ‘seemed 

to love the attention’. More letters 

on the subject on page 15.

Now the blood sport of hunting 

has been allowed into our 

state’s national parks under the 

guise of feral animal control, we 

can expect more hair-raising if 

not lethal incidents as a result 

of stray bullets from shooters 

in and around the parks. 

A young family in Royalla in 

the state’s south was lucky to 

escape injury when a shot was 

fi red through their front window 

about two months ago. 

Last week, police caught up 

with the shooter and charged 

him with the dangerous use 

of a firearm and being unlicensed 

to use it. Police believe 

WINTER CHEER 

New season 

pansies, lavender, 

daisies, and much, 

much more.

Flowering plants

Potted colour 

only 3 for $10 

the shooting was not targeted 

as the man was hunting at the 

time. Well, that’s some sort of 

relief to the family… or is it?

Seen parked in downtown 

Mullum: a van with a row of 

basil growing on the dashboard. 

Great as an air freshener, 

handy for pesto on the go.

Th e Malaysia Star is the latest 

overseas newspaper to discover 

Byron Bay. Last Saturday it ran 

an article by Graham Simmons 

about the ‘hidden delights’ of 

the town, which strangely 

enough didn’t mention latenight 

alcohol-fuelled violent 

assaults by young men with 

too much testosterone. You can 

read it at http://bit.ly/L6si5w.

Th e Australian Egg Corporation 

(www.aecl.org) likes to 

spin that it’s a healthy life for 

chooks under caged conditions, 

but Backlash, a smalltime 

grower (three chickens), 

disagrees. As the AEC says, 

‘Cage eggs or free range? It’s 

your choice’, so buy free-range 

organic eggs from your neighbours 

or your local farmers 

market or store and, if you 

must, organic chicken meat 

from a reputable local butcher. 

See more background at www. 

voiceless.org.au/the-issues/ 

meat-chickens. And this week 

in Sydney there’s the intriguing 

Animal Death Symposium 

which intends to explore ‘how 

animal and human death are 

conceptualised; how they diverge, 

diff er and also connect 

in profound ways’. See more
