Rushed coastal plans expected
Noni, front, with Amelie and their mum Scrap joined about 300 who planted 1,000 young rainforest trees along Mullum Creek on Mothers Day, Sunday. The council-managed slice of land buffers the Shearwater school and neighbours, and runs down to a creek. The day was co-ordinated by Mullum Music Fest, Byron Shire Council, Brunswick Valley Landcare and sponsored by Uncle Tom’s Pies and The Echo. It saw the planting of the six-thousandth rainforest tree as part of the initiative started by the Mullum Music Fest six years ago. Photo Jeff ‘Motherless Child’ Dawson
The Council majority looks set for a steady course into ‘inevitable uncertainties’ at this Thursday’s extraordinary meeting regarding its highly contentious and incomplete coastal zone management plan (CZMP). National Party-aligned councillors Sol Ibrahim, Di Woods, Alan Hunter, Chris Cubis and Greens defector Rose Wanchap are expected to vote for the CZMP to go on public display. This will be despite it not including expert comment from the state government or details of sand-nourishment plans owing to losing the beach. Their CZMP aims to overturn years of planned-retreat policy in favour of a 1.6km Belongil rock wall. It’s the first of two extraordinary meetings planned, and The Echo understands it is because councils with near-complete CZMPs have been instructed to submit to the state government by June 30. The Coastal Protection Act 1979 is expected to be repealed on that date. The next extraordinary meeting is one day prior on June 29, which presumably gives enough time to continued on page 2
Restoration of the Belongil railway track into the Byron CBD and the construction of two platforms is expected to begin this month, say North Byron Beach Resort management. One platform – along with a shed to store the train – will be located between Simmo’s garage and the First Sun Caravan Park, while the other will sit beside the track on Bayshore Drive, Sunrise Beach.
Contamination assessment in April A letter to residents says that the work will be completed within five months and that ‘no asbestos was detected during the contamination assessment carried out in April.’ The Echo has asked the resort’s management repeatedly for a copy of that assessment but is yet to receive a reply on the matter. The letter reads, ‘There has been misinformation spreading regarding the train so we have provided some information…’ Noise and pollution issues are then addressed; however, the train’s frequency remains an issue with some residents, with Council approving the operating hours of 7.30am till 10.30pm. Management says, ‘During the early stages of operation we will ascertain the patronage demand and structure an ongoing timetable in line with this and operating costs.’ continued on page 3

40 per cent downturn after highway diverted Hans Lovejoy
The owner/manager of the Macadamia Castle in Knockrow has accused the NSW Road Maritime Service (RMS) of being a law unto themselves and that ‘repeated requests’ for a second meeting with the minister responsible, Nationals MP Duncan Gay, went ignored. The Macadamia Castle lost its
highway frontage after the new highway was recently opened and says that as a result, there has been an almost 40 per cent downturn in business. Manager Tony Gilding told The Echo, ‘In February 2015, I said my worst fear was the highway opening but our signs were not ready, and that’s what actually happened.’ ‘The signage plan was ready, but the signage was not when the

Collateral damage ‘The RMS priority is getting the cornflakes from Brisbane to Melbourne in the fastest possible time
and local communities are treated as collateral damage. ‘Dealing with the RMS is a nightmare. It takes months and months to get a meeting. Then we wait weeks and weeks for minutes. It’s an incredibly frustrating process – I have no trouble with the number of meetings, just the outcomes. I did not ask for more signs, I just continued on page 2

Rushed coastal plans expected continued from page 1 lodge the plans. Serious allegations of improper process have been raised by former Greens mayor Jan Barham. She says the plans are ‘deeply flawed’, and ‘disregard the potential for a major financial burden on the community in the future in addition to extensive construction costs.’ She also raised concerns that Council’s general manager, Ken Gainger, allowed such poor process to proceed. Ms Barham says the failings include inconsistency with current coastal planning legislation, the absence
of legal advice in relation to future risk and legal action, and ‘the dangerous future risk of losing the beach, which is the priority drawcard for the tourism industry.’ Cr Ibrahim told The Echo that ‘Our cost benefit analysis, which is fully compliant with OEH advice, proves that planned retreat is unaffordable, with an estimated cost of $40 million to implement. There is no ideal solution. We can only do what is affordable and lawfully achievable. Planned retreat is neither of these.’ Q For full comment by Cr Sol Ibrahim and Jan Barham MLC visit www.echo.net.au.

Congratulations to the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre, which has just turned ten. The centre’s Allison Rogers says it is quite an achievement for a self-funded Accredited Visitor Information Centre (AVIC), which is open 364 days a year. The centre also relies on 20
different revenue streams and a staff of volunteers to stay open, she says. ‘Of course, this would never have been possible without the passion and determination of Kim Rosen, who has worked full time – and some – for the last ten years for Bruns, for the love of it.’

continued from page 1 wanted them clearer. There are no environmental or cost factors involved.’ Mr Gilding also says a request for a follow-up meeting with RMS minister Duncan Gay (Nationals) went unheeded. ‘We met once in March 2012, where he instructed the RMS to have the signage plan ready by 2013. It was completed in 2015. All the responses by mail were prepared by RMS and signed by the minister.’ Additionally, Mr Gilding says that promises made by Nationals MLC Ben Franklin have ‘already been broken by RMS.’ ‘The RMS rely on Critical Infrastructure legislation, which says no matter what
the issue, there is no court of appeal and the RMS are the judge and jury. ‘We will survive, but only owing to the support of local community. The Animal Park has done well, but fine food and nut sales are down. ‘That has a big knock-on effect to the local suppliers. Dollars coming in from interstate tourists are a real boost to our local economy, and it’s ironic that a NSW government institution is the biggest handbrake on maintaining and developing small-scale tourist business.’
RMS replies A Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) spokesperson told The Echo that there had been discussions and

face-to-face meetings with the business owner regularly since 2006, ‘with more than 220 interactions recorded in the past four years.’ ‘Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight [Nationals MP Duncan Gay] has met the business owner and responded to more than 60 ministerial letters. Mr Ben Franklin, Nationals MLC and Don Page, former member for Ballina, have also met with the business owner. Changes were made to the permanent and temporary signage for the Macadamia Castle, and there are now nine separate, permanent signs providing motorists with information about the business from the upgraded corridor.’ Mr Gilding replied, ‘This is RMS speak. We have one sign from the north and one from the south. The other seven are direction signs once you leave the freeway to find us.’ The spokesperson continued, ‘It was clearly communicated that the project would be opened in stages and temporary signage would be installed during the interim.’ Mr Gilding replied that information was communicated a week before opening.

Local News NSW Biodiversity Act overhauled and on display A proposed new native vegetation and biodiversity law entitled Biodiversity Conservation Bill 2016 has been released for public comment, and is available at www.landmanagement.nsw.gov.au. Conservation groups were quick to reply to the plans, describing it as wholesale repeal of the Native Vegetation Act 2003 as well as parts of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. The bill is a ‘blueprint for environmental destruction,’ according to NSW Greens MP Dr Mehreen Faruqi. She fears it will lead to more land clearing, habitat loss and will be devastating for biodiversity.

They claim the diesel train will be energy efficient owing to a ‘small amount of diesel used’, and it is ‘nothing like the old trains spilling out diesel smoke.’ ‘Our train uses less diesel fuel than a Sydney bus and we have more than twice the capacity for passengers. ‘The engine is fitted with exhaust-emission controls which have been progressively updated over the years.’
The trip will consume approximately 3.5 litres per 7km round trip, claims the resort’s management. As for noise, they say, ‘The engines in our two-car train are quieter than those fitted to trucks and buses and the train itself is much quieter than the XPT or other large locomotive-hauled trains people may be familiar with.’ ‘Only one engine will be operating at any time. Safety regulations require the train to

New bill to give unprecedented discretionary police powers Sound familiar? There’s another piece of legislation before NSW parliament that aims to give police more powers while eroding civil liberties. It follows from the recently passed Inclosed Lands, Crimes and Law Enforcement Legislation Amendment (Interference) Bill 2016. That law increases penalties from $550 to $5,500 and jail time of seven years, as well as increased police powers for ‘locking on’ to mining equipment. Called The Organised Crime and Public Safety Bill,
When did you last feel like this? Mindful, watchful wisdom
the resort’s management says, ‘We have never reported our train to be light rail. ‘The term “light rail” is commonly used to refer to what was traditionally called trams. Having said this, our two- carriage train, at 78 tonnes fully loaded with 106 seated passengers, is lighter than a Gold Coast light rail “tram” at 84 tonnes fully loaded with 80 seated passengers.’ For more visit www.northbyronbeachresort.com.au.
it has, like the previous law, been roundly criticised by lawyers and the Greens. According to the NSW Council of Civil Liberties, it will give police unprecedented discretionary powers to stop a person (or ‘class of persons’) from attending public events, premises or areas. ‘The police officer has only to be “satisfied” that the person’s presence poses “a serious risk to public safety or security” and that the imposition of a public safety order is “reasonably necessary”.’

Choose your turkey wing wisely
24/7 VET ON DUTY
A beginner’s guide to navigating through the 2016 election If you don’t know much about politics, think of it as being two wings on a turkey. After baking, both turkey wings are seasoned with propaganda, framing and narrative. Mmm… turkey wings. The right-wing turkeys, the Liberals and Nationals, attempt to paint themselves as fiscally responsible and focused on ‘jobs and growth’. But they do tend to ignore the widening wealth gap and limit opportunities for upward social mobility. For them, such inequalities are addressed through a ‘trickle down’ theory, which is allowing the wealthy to operate without much regulation and taxes so they can pass the crumbs down the line. The left-wing turkeys are Labor and the Greens, who bleat about a fair go for all. For example, why not provide everyone with the basics of education and health? But such ‘luxuries’ come with a price, says the prime minister who hoards tax-free millions offshore. We must live within our means, or meanness, and besides, the left turkeys are not the best at leading, we are told. And while it’s all clearly propaganda, consider the global stage; it appears you need psychopathic reptilian virtues to be in the game. It’s just whether playing that game gives hope and a future. What’s wrong with destabilising entrenched oligarchies? How about questioning the predatory financial system and the idea of endless growth? So with the election on July 2, The Echo will prod, poke, squeeze, grill, enquire, analyse, probe, query, scrutinise, examine and explore the

candidate’s positions as much as possible. Reader questions are welcome of course – email editor@echo.net.au. The most obvious for this week is: What did our local incumbent and aspirational politicians have to say of last week’s budget?
Sitting Labor MP
Labor MP Justine Elliot, who has held office in this electorate since 2004, condemned the budget, ‘as it puts big business over battlers, gives tax cuts to millionaires and it continues with harsh cuts to vital services like health and education.’ ‘Individuals who earn the most will get a double tax cut – someone on $1m will get a $16,715 tax cut while three-quarters of Australian taxpayers receive absolutely nothing. A couple with a single income of $65,000 with three children in primary school are $3,034 worse off a year – and receive no tax cuts.

‘A single mother with an income of $87,000 with two children in high school is $4,463 worse off per year.’ She also says a single pensioner will be $366 a year worse off while couple pensioners will be $550 a year worse off. ‘Already, more than 330,000 pensioners have had their pensions cut.’
Greens candidate
The Greens saw it in a similar way, with candidate Dawn Walker saying, ‘Just like Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull is taking the axe to the young, the old, the sick and the poor while handing out tax cuts to high-income earners and big business.’ ‘Shamefully, the treasurer failed to mention global warming once. His speech had no plan to deal with the single greatest challenge facing our economy: the transition to clean energy that would power the new economy. Most disturbingly, while subsidies continue to flow to
Meanwhile, Nationals candidate for Richmond, Matthew Fraser, welcomed what he described as a ‘fair and deliverable budget’. He said, ‘When I listened to the budget, what I heard was tax cuts and incentives for small businesses and hardworking families. This budget shows that we as a nation are standing up for the little guy. ‘This budget will ensure that multinationals pay their fair share of tax, the banks pay their fair share for regulating financial misconduct, and that generous superannuation tax concessions for the wealthy are closed off. ‘In a big win for our area, small businesses will have their tax burden reduced so they can grow, improve and put on more workers.’
Enrol to vote by Monday May 23! Politics is one of the few tools that humans have to selfregulate and avoid bloodshed. And since governments are mostly run by an elite privateschool club that only helps their corporate mates, the importance of participation by all can never be understated.

Plan for regional future ‘vague’: EDO A major planning document for the future of the region – now on display – comes with the warning by a community legal organisation that ‘mining and extractive industries are on the agenda.’ The Draft North Coast Regional Plan is on public exhibition until June 2, but has been criticised by environment groups after it suggested mining the Clarence Moreton Basin for CSG could invigorate the economy. It was launched by north coast Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis. Nina Lucas from the Environment Defenders Office
(EDO) NSW says, ‘many of the draft plan’s proposed actions are somewhat vague and it is unclear how councils are to “give effect” to the final plan if it is made, and what this will actually look like in practice.
Reforms unclear ‘It is also unclear how the actions under the plan will fit in with the NSW government’s proposed reforms to coastal management, biodiversity and Aboriginal cultural heritage.’ Ms Lucas says it focuses on jobs, development, homes,
transport and protecting the natural environment and heritage. She raised issues such as conflicting land uses. ‘While zoning for future rural residential areas is restricted, the draft plan does not address current conflicting land uses and zoning. ‘Options for the community to review the plan after it is made are very limited. ‘Having your say on the draft plan may be your only opportunity to have input.’ Submissions close June 2 and can be made at http://bit. ly/1T59EfQ.

Volume 30 #48
May 11, 2016
Plastic not so fantastic Hey, the state government actually did something useful! No, it didn’t sign up to anything that will seriously address climate change, nor did it wind back its draconian broad-ranging vague laws aimed at eroding our civil liberties (they are actually proposing more of those). Out of all the smelly unpleasantness that emanates from NSW Parliament House, one piece of goodness was produced. It’s a container deposit system (CDS), which aims to curb litter by placing a price on rubbish: 10 cents per bottle. South Australia and the Northern Territory have been running it for years, and it is a proven economic and environmental success. So why has it taken so long to adopt here? It would surprise no-one that it has been resisted for many years by major drink corporations and their key lobbyist, the Australian Food and Grocery Council. And politicians have, until now, been taking their advice that a container deposit system is not good for (their) business. But the integrity of the industry came into question in February last year, after Fairfax reported leaked emails revealing that ‘beverage giants Carlton and United, Lion and Coca-Cola colluded in a secret plan to attack the Baird government’s proposed cash for containers recycling scheme.’ ‘Fifteen company executives [held] regular conference calls to report back on lobbying of politicians.’ So starting July 2017, common sense and living with less rubbish will have trumped big profits, its associated lobbyists and political donations in that sector. It’s also a good example of triple-bottom-line economics, where the waste product of a consumable is given a monetary value.
Byron Shire plastic free in July Locally, keep an eye out for the Byron Shire Plastic Free July campaign, which is being led by Santos Organics and is in collaboration with other community organisations. They are aiming to engage schools, farmers markets and business, ‘to become aware of the issues of plastic and look at solutions to reduce our shire’s consumption of it.’ It’s being organised by Paul Crebar, who says such a program could see, ‘Byron Shire as being the first shire in Australia to initiate a shirewide campaign to encourage a reduction of plastic waste. ‘From this campaign, we are aiming to have 1,001 visual ideas/tips for Byron Shire residents to reduce their plastic usage.’ For more visit www.plasticfreebyron.com.

Correction on Byron Bay Brewing Co Further to last week’s story regarding the sale of Byron Bay Brewing Co to Lion, The Echo incorrectly stated that Lion ‘have interests in oral care, beauty care, fabric care, living care and pharmaceuticals. It also owns milk, yoghurt, cream, custard and cheese companies, as well as companies that produce juice, drinks and water’. A Lion spokesperson told The Echo that Lion’s parent company, Kirin, owns those businesses, not Lion. They said, ‘While Kirin became the parent company of Lion in 2009, Lion is still managed locally and employs close to 7,000 people across Australia and New Zealand, with operations in all Australian states. ‘We have business interests in beer, wine, cider, dairy, juice and soy.’

ur economic plan for jobs and growth … jobs and growth… jobs and growth… jobs and growth … sobs of mirth … Hobson’s Choice … blobs and froth … The trouble with endlessly repeating slogans is that they become meaningless babble. Just what the Turnbull/ Morrison mantra will sound like in another eight weeks beggars the imagination. And while we’re at it, the transition away from the mining boom is bad enough, but its ugly and illiterate derivative, transitioning the economy, is downright horrible, guaranteed to drive the sensitive listener mad within a fortnight. But the irritating terminology is not the real problem with the budget. Turnbull and Morrison insist that it is not an ordinary budget – not a budget at all. It is a PLAN, and a plan not for a mere budget, but for an election campaign – perhaps for a decade. But the immediate reaction was not to admire and analyse this solemn document, but to ask one simple question: Can the government sell this manifesto, at least for long enough to win the forthcoming election? And, fortunately for the government, the answer seems to be a qualified yes – if only because there isn’t much to sell. It hasn’t produced a lot of winners, but it hasn’t produced a lot of losers either. And that, in the somewhat parlous circumstances in which Malcolm Turnbull finds himself, is just about the best that can be hoped for. They will also hope that the electorate will fail to see the inherent contradiction in the stitch-up. Even as Morrison was

by Mungo MacCallum in the days – no, weeks – ahead. When it was already clear just 24 hours after the budget was brought down that it had become something of an anticlimax, the government’s spin doctors tried to bring it together into six succinct dot points. But if anything, these only revealed the piecemeal nature of the document. Point one: The great innovation strategy. But that was last year, and in any case, it never really explained just what, if anything, was actually proposed. Point two: The colossal defence announcement, setting to high-tech spending throughout Australia. But that too was old news – last month, and widely regarded as an a electoral fix for South Australia with the rest way over the horizon. Point three: The various free-trade deals.

not new, and in any case Turnbull and Morrison had very little to do with them. It is likely that the unilateral deals with South Korea, Japan, China and perhaps India will eventually prove fruitful, and just last week Singapore was brought into the mix. But the Trans Pacific Partnership Turnbull boosts so extravagantly is much more dubious: it appears to favour American corporations rather than Australian consumers. So on to point four: tax.

ing Australian corporate rates. The government argues that this is in sharp contrast to Labor’s schedule for tax increases: but hang on. Labor has no plans for major tax increases – it is just intending to withhold the tax cuts the government proposes. This is not an increase – it is in fact a saving from revenue; it is government that plans to spend them. But not, alas, on Turnbull’s plan – on its own. And Labor would maintain the Temporary Deficit Levy, on the obvious ground that the deficit has not been reduced – it has multiplied threefold. Surely the need for the levy is greater than ever. Not much joy there. Point five is superannuation: the retrospective tax you are having when you are not having a retrospective tax. And then point six: the clumsy acronym PATH, to reduce
youth unemployment. Well, it might be worth a try – nothing else has worked. But it at least counts as a positive. The rest, unfortunately, appears very wishy-washy for an eight-week election campaign. Perhaps, just perhaps, Turnbull really does not get politics. In the meantime, in spite of Morrison’s fervent plea that the voters are now past the stage of finding winners and losers, they, with the help of enthusiastic media, will get on with doing just that. Morrison announced, in the tones of one proclaiming the Second Coming, that the class war is over. This, of course, is the constant assertion of the rich and powerful; what they actually mean is that the poor and underprivileged should bloody well shut up and accept their fate. As the old hymn puts it, ‘The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate: God made them high and lowly, He ordered their estate’. Way back in 1945, the founder of the modern Liberal Party, Robert Menzies, delivered his edict: ‘We believe that the class war is a false war…’ But it wasn’t then and it isn’t now. And Bill Shorten has sought to capitalise on this old and simple truth. Shorten, it may be said, is trying too hard; but Turnbull risks being positively smug. By asserting his superiority over Shorten and everyone else, he is making what should be a straightforward election campaign a debate whose complexity threatens to unravel. Let’s just keep it simple: jobs and growth … jobs and growth … jobs and growth … The Grapes of Wrath … Smokers’ Cough … The Glugs of Ghosh…

Council’s rural land use strategy too big to bear Q Council’s Draft Rural Land Use Strategy is really ill-conceived, aimed at destroying our rural areas at the expense of the amenity and safety of people who live there. The strategy targets 320 possible new houses in a 2km radius of Main Arm, a small hamlet of 16 houses 10km from Mullumbimby. Plus, another 420 for The Pocket and Middle Pocket areas. It will ruin our rural landscape and amenity by imposing a whole series of unwanted, unneeded suburban subdivisions all over our beautiful hills and valleys. Council seems so intent on maximising the potential number of houses; they really loosened the strategy’s selection criteria, allowing subdivisions to be built here and the rest of the Shire on land with very steep slopes up to 32 per cent, with high bushfire risk, that’s flood liable and even in wildlife corridors, scenic escarpment zones, and on prime agricultural lands –
Naming of lanes It is very disappointing that we are not able to maintain the names of the lanes in Brunswick Heads already being used as, rather than being confusing, we think they are quite distinct and an easy and logical way to locate these addresses. We would urge Council to resubmit these names to NSW Land & Property Information. However, if a change is forced upon us, we are sure there are more relevant and imaginative names than those proposed, eg, names of local birds – Corella or Merops; or marine life – Bream, Pippi, which would have relevance to both visitors and the current population of the district.

all prohibited in the previous strategy. Our areas are surrounded by forests with a high bushfire risk, and are periodically isolated from towns during even minor flooding events when the substandard roads and causeways become impassable, sometimes for a few days at a time. Purposely locating so many new residents here makes no sense and is very risky. This type of development belongs closer to towns in areas on flatter land with few constraints and good roads. Please write a submission by May 20 to Council opposing this strategy so we can save our beautiful rural areas here and the rest of the Shire from clearly inappropriate development.

scape, and protects its high biodiversity values. We care, yet we are being given the two fingers by the current crop of pro-developer councillors, who without a mandate at the ballot box are determined to undermine those values by opening up the Shire to unprecedented levels of new development, particularly rural. It might help stem the tide if members of the community take a few minutes to write a submission objecting to the proposed Rural Land Use Strategy currently before Council and on public exhibition until May 20: submissions@byron.nsw.gov.au, see also www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ rural-land-use-strategy. Nino MacDonald Billinudgel Draft Rural Land Use Strategy is an ambiguous, schizophrenic mess. Parts of it, like the seven new towns/ suburbs areas, show some strategic foresight. This sort of foresight 15–20 years ago
might have resulted in an appropriately located regional hospital and an alternative to the new West Byron suburb in a swamp. Maybe we could have had other successful new villages like Federal has become. The rest of the strategy is mired in a red herring, a contradiction, an ill-advised reintroduction and several absences. The red herring is the Main Arm and Pocket rural residential concentrations, because even if this part of the strategy were removed the new performance rules built into the strategy would probably allow more development in these locations than is currently stated. The contradiction is the heart of the strategy; look at figure 4. This is a set of poorly-defined performance rules for all new rural residential development, so loose and badly thought out that lawyers must be salivating already. There is a lack of any

Muslim bashing There goes Matt Hartley again, with his thinly disguised Muslim bashing (Letters, May 4). He told us in a previous letter that Islam preaches death to unbelievers but not surprisingly failed to mention that the Bible (and
Torah) also do so no less than five times. These religions also preach death to non-virgins on their wedding nights, rape, pillage and murder many times over. Why is it that we only talk about what is wrong with others’ religions but not our own? Where are your attacks on the child-raping priests that get protection from the Vatican? Matt then talks about Sharia as if it is coming to Australia – mate, seriously, do you really think we are going to be interrogated by the Ayatollah of Byron Bay any time soon?
Perhaps some people might accuse Hartley of Islamophobia, but my understanding of a phobia is that it is something that people suffer from, as opposed to deliberately choosing to be a bigot and spreading intolerance and hatred. Maybe you should take the log out of your own eyes and find ways of addressing the problems in our community, like corruption with regard to developers, the betrayal and lies by the government with regard to CSG, and the new disastrous mega-development plans in Main Arm. No, Matt, instead of addressing any of these important issues facing us, you have chosen to continue with your Muslim bashing. Well done! Subhi Awad Mullumbimby
Rewarding refugees So, our treasurer is hoping to make heaps from the backpackers. I don’t have an issue with them contributing to our tax revenue. However, I think there is a much more lucrative way for our farmers to find the workforce and for our country to get some financial reward at the same time. We have refugee camps full of able, willing people who have shown their resil-
ience and enterprise in escaping from a country of danger and suppression. I am sure they would make excellent workers, pay their taxes and free up some of the billions of taxpayer dollars that are needed to keep them locked up. Even if they have to return to the camps after the work period, they would be better off than without this ‘holiday’. Of course, since our treasurer is also the ex-minister for cruelty to refugees, logic and common sense will not get into the way of his xenophobia. Ron Bay Suffolk Park

Wrong paradigm In response to the article by Dailan Pugh regarding Council’s draft Rural Land
netdaily.net.au Use Strategy and subsequent responses from Council staff and community members – the issue is not who’s wrong or who’s right on the details of that document. The issue is the reality of a ‘jobs and growth’ paradigm that grips modern Western ideology, and the pressure it will continue to apply on Byron Shire. I and others fought hard in the 1990s to curb rampant and inappropriate development when then Cr Ross Tucker was the leader of the pro-development majority faction of councillors who were, in my opinion, hellbent on seeing Byron Shire developed. History shows that at the 1995 election, a pro-community Council was swept to power with a 7–3 majority. The new Council went about holding forums to truly gauge and include community sentiment and vision for our Shire’s future. These forums were called ‘The Big Picture Show’ and it was the best example I’ve ever seen of an elected body truly being inclusive of the people they represent. Elected representatives have a duty to regularly monitor the mood and wishes of their constituents, and act accordingly. Being elected does not give one the right to continued opposite

Articles/Letters Byron boom fears unfounded, says Council Luis Feliu
Byron Shire Council has hit out at claims it is planning to double the Shire’s current population. A senior planning officer says there is no intention in Council’s draft Rural Land Use Strategy, now on display, to release 3,800 hectares of rural land for residential living. In an opinion piece in The Echo last week, local conservationist Dailan Pugh said the 3,800 hectares in question was ‘the biggest land release in Byron’s history’ which, in gross area, was ‘equivalent to ten new West Byrons plus ten new Ewingsdales’. ‘If you allow them to get away with this, they will include these lands in the current regional strategy and, like West Byron, there will be nothing you or anyone else will be able to do to stop them proceeding in the future,’ Mr Pugh said.
Maximum But Council’s director of sustainable environment and economy, Shannon Burt, said Byron Shire has been forecast to have about 3,750-4,500 additional dwellings by 2036, equating to ‘a maximum of about 10,000 people over the next 20 years throughout the entire Shire’. Ms Burt said the draft strategy was primarily an ‘enabling’ document ‘that identifies future rural settlement opportunities in appropriate locations that best suits community needs’. ‘It looks at potential areas where development could take place and there is no intent to release 3,800 hectares of rural land for residential living,’ she said. Ms Burt said the draft strategy aimed to ‘ensure that our rural hinterland is highly regarded as a place to live, work and enjoy’. ‘We need to look at how we can ensure our agricultural farms remain viable, protect the biodiversity, support small businesses to prosper in the hinterland, safeguard From previous page
doggedly achieve one’s own goals during the term of one’s incumbency.

the lifestyle and plan for infrastructure needs to support additional growth, should it occur. ‘Importantly the draft strategy recognises that while rural lifestyle living remains a relevant part of the housing mix, most of our Shire’s future population growth will be housed in our urban areas. ‘We’re keen to hear what the community thinks and encourage feedback by May 20,’ Ms Burt urged. But Mr Pugh stuck by his claim saying that ‘contrary to their claims, 3,800ha is the gross area that they have mapped for residential release’.
Available ‘Council has mapped 2,700ha for release as largelot residential, community title or multiple occupancy; this is rural residential development,’ he told Echonetdaily. ‘They have mapped another 1,100ha for potential release as urban land, and if they later decide not to develop it for urban lands it automatically becomes available for rural residential development. ‘Council’s strategy doesn’t just limit rural residential developments to the mapped areas; they also allow them throughout the Shire subject to limited constraints. ‘As I pointed out, only part of this gross area is developable as some is constrained. ‘As we found at West Byron a lot of land mapped as constrained can later be and work together to make the community at large aware of the issues facing us, and who are the individuals and/ or groups who will truly represent us – and also to see that these current pro-development councillors, who have shown their contempt for the community, are not reelected.

released for development. ‘At Ewingsdale the whole area that staff recommended for development was mapped as constrained. So we will have to wait to see how much will actually be developed. ‘Council has gone over the top in allowing large-lot residential, community title and multiple occupancy throughout our rural areas. It is totally outrageous that they have identified enough land for urban development for 15,000 houses.
To the state ‘Once land is identified as potential urban land in a strategy the developers can take it straight to the state for approval. They must remove those lands surplus to the regional strategy’s targets,’ Mr Pugh said. Ms Burt in her media release issued a list entitled ‘Let’s check the facts’. It states, ‘There is no proposal to release 3,800ha of rural land for residential development. The draft Rural Land Use Strategy identifies a number of localities to be investigated for possible village or urban settlement in a Residential Strategy (in preparation), which collectively total just over 1,000ha. ‘The potentially developable area of all localities

identified is around 750ha but not all of these localities may be suitable for urban/village development. And for any that are found to be suitable (in a Residential Strategy) the amount of “developable� land may be considerably less than area identified for investigation. ‘The draft North Coast Regional Plan identifies housing targets for Byron Shire of between 3,750 and 4,500 additional dwellings between 2011 and 2036. Discussions with Department of Planning and Environment confirm that this figure already includes dwellings yet to be constructed in existing ‘undeveloped’ residential zones as well as new dwellings to be used for holiday letting.
Large lots ‘Council’s Rural Land Use Strategy identifies another six rural areas totaling 2,732ha for large-lot residential, multiple occupancy and community-title developments. Some 88ha of this is specifically tagged for large-lot residential. ‘Of the six rural areas identified in the draft Rural Land Use Strategy for large-lot residential, multiple-occupancy and community-title development opportunities, approximately 680ha is mapped as potentially developable subject to more detailed investigations. However, such opportunities can only be realised where there is sufficient landowner interest to provide an acceptable standard of road infrastructure at no cost to the wider community.’

What could stump Trump? Money! Phillip Frazer
Donald Trump is the Republicans’ ‘presumptive nominee’, meaning nearly all the Republican poobahs have given up trying to stop him. But conservative journalists have raised an issue that might ruin his whole presidential bid – which is money. All along the media hasve assumed that part of Trump’s appeal is that he’s so rich he doesn’t need corporations or other billionaires to fund his campaign, which means he’ll be uncorrupted by his backers. It’s true that Trump can’t be corrupted because he already is, but he’s also nowhere near as rich as he says he is, plus he’s way too selfish to waste whatever cash he has on buying an election. So far he’s put up only $36 million of his own, and that’s a loan \

to his campaign, to be paid back whenever someone else makes a contribution; but will they? Last week the conservative Washington Examiner reported that ‘The Republican donors who helped Mitt Romney raise $1 billion in 2012 have a target figure in mind for Donald Trump: zero. ‌’ Hillary Clinton (who
continues to lose primaries to Bernie Sanders who continues to be ignored by the media) is aiming to spend $2 billion to win in November, and she has thousands of old-school experts and new-wave hipster social media mavens hauling in the millions. Trump might be left with only free media to get his voters out on election day, and

Monkey see, monkey do: perils of the bystander effect of what we learn. But it has downsides. Psychologists have long pondered why bystanders, for example, will often do nothing at the scene of an emergency to help those in trouble. A sort of paralysis takes hold and witnesses stand around like dorks. Social proof is a theory many favour that explains it. People are responding to what they see others doing, and if no-one makes the first move, nothing happens.
Daniel Sage
When you are tired of London, wrote Samuel Johnson in 1777, you are tired of life. As it happens, these were also the last words of restaurant critic Wilkes McDermid on his food blog, before he made the ultimate review and jumped from the roof of the restaurant where he was dining. Le Coq d’Argent – the Silver Cock – is perched atop an odd and alarmingly confronting postmodern edifice known as 1 Poultry on the corner of Bank and Cheapside. It’s seen everything over the years. But since the topfloor restaurant opened in 2007, six diners have leaped over the edge to the pavement below, despite the installation of a two-metre fence to stop them.
Paralysis
Following on It might seem a bizarre coincidence that so many should choose the same spot. Certainly the chefs would like to think so. But in fact, many people who decide to take their own lives choose a method or a place where others have gone before. The phenomenon is welldocumented in psychology and has some disturbing statistical features. For example, immediately following certain kinds of highly publicised suicide stories, the number of people killed in commercial-airline crashes increases as many as fourfold. Similarly, a significant spike occurs in car crashes in the weeks after front-page suicide stories. And the kicker is, the people who cause the poststory incidents tend to be of

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sought a court order allowing PETA to administer all proceeds from the photos for the benefit of the monkey, identified as six-year-old Naruto from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. In January this year US district judge William Orrick said that while Congress and the president can extend the protection of law to animals as well as humans, there is no indication that they did so in the Copyright Act.

similar age, gender and ethnicity as the individuals in the stories. It’s the kind of statistical analysis that is a serious blow for advocates of porn and on-screen violence and the wider idea that seeing bad behaviour on TV doesn’t lead to more in real life. Yes, most people most of the time know the difference, but for some troubled souls it is enough of a prod to commit rash deeds.
We humans like to copy and to share. More than any other monkey, more than any other creature, we share what we do and we show each other how to do it. Copy, mimic, learn, repeat. It’s our glorious, empowering, defining quality.
Impressionable The understanding that we are all impressionable and easily influenced is a cornerstone of modern psychology.
Not surprisingly, it has made its way into the armoury of marketeers trying to sell us stuff, where ‘social proof ’ is offered at every turn. Eightynine people like this; 3,000 viewed that; here’s a shampoo used by Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, and so on. When a lot of people are doing the same thing it is considered the right thing to do. The phenomenon of copying accounts for much
Many studies have been done, in particular by two American professors, John Darley and Bibb Latané, into what they dubbed the Bystander Effect. As well as outlining why it occurs, why the paralysis happens, they came up with some useful tips on what to do should you ever find yourself in trouble and need help from passersby. Firstly, especially in a crowd, do not expect people to respond immediately. Instead, if you can, be the prime mover and be specific about it. ‘You, sir, in the yellow shirt, I need help. Call an ambulance.’ It might sound daft but this will immediately cause one person to stir to action, with the effect on those around to join in. Voila, rescue. There are other things we can do to stave off the negative effects of social proof. In his seminal book Influence, Robert Cialdini looks at how widely social proof operates, from laughter tracks on television to copycat crime waves. He reserves a special contempt for the presence
everywhere of manipulative advertising and recommends that if ever you see through fake promises a company or product makes, write in and let them know you won’t stand for it. Cute. Even though he was writing in 1985, the principle remains sound. Be aware, he says, and ‘check the data’. In journalism, it is recognised that reporting certain kinds of events can lead to copycats of a harmful sort. Different countries have different codes of practice to help cut the ripple. In Norway, for example, it is forbidden to mention suicide or attempted suicide at all. Most countries here follow the guidelines of the World Health Organisation that advise ‘extreme restraint’, without using the word suicide and limiting the number of stories.
Hope Australia is one of the few countries where journalism students are taught expressly how to handle the subject with an excellent program put in place by the Mindframe national media initiative. ‘Hope is necessary in every condition,’ Johnson also wrote. He’s one to watch. May we follow only that which lifts and nourishes. Q Once an inhabitant of

designs with the only conditions being a weight under 75kg and good steering and brakes. Safety is paramount and more than 600 bales of hay are brought in to line the high street. The main focus of the day is not the speed of the entries but family fun for participants and spectators. The grand parade is a highlight, taking place at 12.30pm and featuring local bands, vintage cars, schools, local clubs, scouts and celebrities. Racing will commence at 9am with all participants marshalled from 7am. Full rules, cart classification, and the race schedule and entry forms can be found on the website and registration is on the day from 7am when the carts are inspected for safety. Registration is in the front room of the Bangalow Hotel from 7am.
Event organiser Tony Heeson has been instrumental in the success of the event for many years since it began in 1993, and says the popularity of the derby can be attributed to its inclusive nature. ‘The Billycart Derby is a wonderful example of a community event because there are no barriers to entry. It showcases good oldfashioned fun regardless of age or social status. Everyone can take part whether as individuals, families, workplaces or schools’. There are races for everyone – for boys and girls from five years of age, through to ‘opens’ and celebrities. Former MP Don Page is a regular participant in the celebrity race and the oldest participant is claimed to be ‘Bangalow Bill’ at 80+ years of age. Cart categories range from traditional and homegrown

If you wish to downsize, this is the property for you. This three-bedroom and one-bathroom home certainly offers prospective buyers value for money. The fully fenced yard is low maintenance and flat, and it’s an easy walk to town. Do not be afraid to turn on the split-system air-conditioning during those hot summer days or those cold winter mornings, as the eight-panel solar electricity will absorb the cost. Also with solar hot water your new electricity bill will be not such a ‘shock’. The successful purchaser will be able to move in and just unpack as the maintenance, such as painting, fencing, carpets and turf have all been recently attended to. Call David Holden to inspect.
This quiet and convenient community is located in an enviable position in Byron Bay. Moments to the town’s vibrant centre, schools and the beach. Only three blocks remain in this sought-after enclave and this brand new stage is ready to purchase off the plan. The townhouses are beautifully designed with 3 bedrooms and 2 spacious bathrooms. Quality is key here and the finishes of the homes include energy-efficient appliances and superior fixtures. There is also a double remote-controlled garage with internal access. Popular for its security and privacy, the Seadrift complex features a security gate, in-ground pool, sundeck and entertaining pavilion.

There is a lot more to evaluate, audit, inspect and observe with rural properties, farms and acreage than urban properties. Buyers can only access limited detail via websites, short visits, vendors and their agents, pest and building inspections. The Local Knowledge Report is an independent, comprehensive, multi-media report for buyers that covers the entire property and landscape beyond the house. Using a sustainable land management foundation, the report includes detail regarding assets, flaws, water issues, fencing, driveways, flood & fire risk, livestock, maintenance loads, management priorities & development potential. The LK Report is ideal for comparing choices, evaluating suitability, price negotiation and forward planning.

Voilà – A touch of magic at Muoi’s Story by Caz Parker
The first time I heard about Muoi’s Feast was as I was being captivated by my hairdresser, while she raved about the virtues of Muoi’s duck spring rolls. I’ve since learnt that Muoi’s has claimed a special spot in the heart of many locals for their consistently good grub and affable service. As my dinner buddies and I lingered over the menu on a recent visit, a neighbouring diner chimed in to help. She gushed, ‘We’ve been ordering the exact same meals here every time for the last ten years. Muoi’s is our favourite place in Byron, and we always have Shanghai oysters, Vietnamese lamb shanks, wicked duck
(and yes…) barbecue duck spring rolls. It’s always a-mazing.’ Our job was done! We feasted on the same, and she was spot-on. Sensual oysters, and succulent meat bathed in scrumptious sauces. That combination is worth a decade of return visits. Head chef Bertrand Barreau grew up in France, in ‘the playground of kings’ – Loire Valley – surrounded by castles. Bertrand says, ‘My brother is a chef in France. One day, when I was 14 years old, I helped him out in the kitchen, and I was hooked.’ After his formal French cooking training, Bertrand became a ‘seasonal chef ’, bouncing between the
popular tourist destinations of Europe. He says, ‘It was a great opportunity for me to travel and to learn new techniques from many different chefs, in both the Swiss and French Alps and the Mediterranean islands’. Bertrand travelled extensively throughout Asia. He says, ‘I always go to cooking school in every country I visit, to learn the local techniques’. An Aussie traveller tripping through Europe, Stacey Luck, stole Bertrand’s heart. So he’s since swapped his backdrop of castles, Alps, and islands for a lighthouse, and moved with Stacey to the playground of beach worshippers. ‘When we
came to Byron, I really fell in love with it. It felt like home. I also loved the al fresco feel of Muoi’s, so… voilà.’ Another heart stealer for Bertrand is Azura, their two-year-old daughter. Azura is his inspiration for the forthcoming name change from Muoi’s to Azura’s Garden. With plans to add a water feature and more ambient lighting, Bertrand says, ‘I want to make the place like a garden where you’d like to stay forever, and make it feel magical’. We may not be able to stay forever, but we’ll certainly be back. Q 11 Fletcher Street, Byron Bay. Ph 6685 7557

FEDERAL HALL TALKS IT UP
THE ECHO CAUGHT UP WITH ALAN GOLDMAN ABOUT THE UPCOMING FED TA L K S , W H E R E C O M M U N I T Y E N G AG E S I N C O N V E R S AT I O N AT F E D E R A L H A L L . T H I S I S T H E F I F T H E V E N T P RO M OT I N G DISCUSSION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION. What is the concept for FED Talks? Engaging the community in conversations around issues that affect us all and to bring big topics into open conversation to help ideas grow. Why have you chosen Luck? We were thinking about the idea of a panel discussion on The Lucky Country and what that means in today’s terms. We had an idea about whom we might have on that panel but those fish weren’t biting and others were. More evolving from panel discussion to an event that would be a little more fun for our annual fundraising event and slightly different from our usual construction. The community loves to come together for food and conversation and we have been listening to storyslam programs such as The Moth and The Truth and instantly the stars aligned over Story Slam and Luck. What does it mean to you?
Our eclectic group of locals have just five minutes to tell a personal story from their life around the theme of Luck. They can take that theme in any direction they like. That’s the fun bit – everyone has a story and they are all different. What should people expect for the stories? Who is speaking? Is it funny, sad, true, pretend? Stories from their lives that could make you laugh or cry but will always always very personal. • • • •
Actually maybe not every community has an event like this and maybe not every community has a FedTalks type of group but it is always amazing to me what does go on in small communities and towns, especially in the northern rivers. There is a rich seam of activity in many communities; you just have to let yourself get involved. Why did you decide to get involved in the Federal Hall and the associated projects?
For me it has been about doing my bit to create a sustainable and functioning local community around me, where I live and where my Kate Veitch: a much-travelled novel writer, essayist and tree-hugger. kids grow up and where many of my friends live. We are so lucky to have many amazing artists, minds and activists amongst us. It is great Sam Cutler: poet, layabout, author, film producer and former tour to have opportunities to see them perform or exhibit their talent to manager for the Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead. their fellow community. Sustaining the community spaces in Federal Danielle Purcell: Yoga teacher, former US military, Gulf War vet with – The Hall (Jasper Corner) and The Park – is vital to retaining the heart extraordinary childhood to match wild adulthood. of the community. These are places that keep us connected, local and having fun. Jack Long: Mostly raised in Mullumbimby, recent high school graduate, onetime BayFM presenter, a natural talent. What is the event in aid of?
• Sheldon Lieberman: the split business-and-creative brain behind digital agency Bigfish and award-winning short films. • Jim Hearn: Teaches creative writing at SCU, ex-chef, wild child. • Victor Marsh: TV producer, film reviewer, researcher and author. • Mandy Nolan; a true renaissance woman: comedian, author, journalist, humour therapist, comedy coach. I don’t imagine many little communities have functions like this. What is it do you think that makes the village of Federal unique?
FedTalks events are usually entry by donation but once a year we do something different like this as a small fundraiser to help cover our costs for the next twelve months. Another social event in Federal, light on in the village, community building, great affordable dinner, good company and moving stories all for $25! Expect the unexpected – Fed Talks Five tackles ‘Luck’ at Federal Hall on Saturday 21 May . Info and tickets on 6684 9313 or 6684 7171.

Dear Tony,
No, Stop the Boats wasn’t about hurting people. It was about I know I shouldn’t be writing this, but can you help? This immigration hurting boats. Boats kill people, minister thing seemed like a good Tony. Not governments, or war. Boats. We know that now. But it’s idea at the time, it looked good gone past the boats. People worked on paper, and kind of gave me a out what was in the boats. So now boner when I saw my business we’re fucked. I feel it in my bones. cards, but I’m jolly well out of my depth, like a child overboard as Frankly, this whole offshore you might say! (If, of course, there processing thing is getting bloody were ever any children overboard embarrassing and I’m running in the first place!) out of ideas. Especially when uncivilised nations like The bloody You were so strong on Stop Fuzzy Wuzzies start pulling the the Boats, Tony. It was a genius upper hand with some bloody election slogan. A real ripper. High Court so-called humanitarian It made people focus on boats rulings, deeming the detention of instead of what they were asylum seekers as ‘unconstitutional carrying: people. You can’t get and illegal’. Come on, it’s PNG, it too emotional about a boat. It’s wasn’t that long ago they were made of timber and marine ply. eating people… and now we’re Not flesh and blood. I mean, you the savages? could hardly have a slogan that said ‘stop the war-ravaged and country-less men, women and children’. That just makes you sound like a bit of a cunt.
I’m the bloke in a suit here, Tony. It’s not like I don’t have empathy. It’s I don’t remember where I last saw it. Last time I saw it I was in
ANY NEW IDEAS, TONY? the drug squad. We had to hand it in before a shift for safekeeping. Maybe I never picked it up…
Anyway, Tone, what’s the point of being a wannabe global superpower if you can’t manipulate more vulnerable nations into enclosing ‘boat contents’ (as I like to call them) in razor wire? What’s the point of being a colonial power if you can’t tell smaller nations what to do? I mean, PNG tourism should thank us; we bloody well put Manus Island on the map! If they were innovators with their immigrators they’d install cameras and start filming a reality TV Refugee Survivor series. No bloody vision. That’s the problem with these Third World countries. And don’t forget Bougainville! It was our ADF that put a lid on that shit. Manus Island was a thankyou card. So much for the Economic Cooperation Treaty! Too
many resources and not enough imagination. Or infrastructure.
But that’s what the money was for, Tony. They could have built brandnew prisons. State of the art. Yep, no imagination, just a lot of self-immolation. With an election coming up you can’t have people setting themselves on bloody fire. It sends the wrong message. It makes US look like the bad guys. Like we handed them the match. We’re not the Fundamentalist Muslims here, Tony. People have to get refocused on who the bad guys are. We’re the Liberal Party. The bad guys are those bloody asylum-seeker advocates. Remember how they coached baby Asha’s mum to pour hot water on her to get the family to the mainland! So, I’m going to blame the burning and other acts of self-harm on the refugee advocates. It’s a bit of a long shot, I know; it’s a bit like blaming

I know it seems like a long bow, but if you think about it, if you didn’t know it was domestic violence, if you hadn’t been subjected to awareness campaigns and told that the situation was unliveable, then would you be living in a regular Aussie marriage? Wouldn’t you’d just be living with some angry bloke who drank a lot, smashed plates and occasionally tried to strangle you? Same thing with the refugee advocates. That’s what I am saying, Tony. It’s the next generation of Stop the Boats. It’s Stop the Refugee Advocates. See, I’m doing what you did – turn the voting public away from the real suffering of real people – and I’ve found another group trying to help
Wish I was still minister for sport. It’s hard to fuck that one up. Any new ideas, or even old ones you didn’t get to?

Shit, gotta go, think I’ve left Kirilly locked in the laundry. People say I’m heartless, Tony. But I’m like you, mate. I couldn’t care less! Catcha in the canteen. Dutto xx

Barb Jungr now works extensively in New York, and has several awards for her shows and work there. She tours the rest of America and Australia, as well as mainland Europe; in short, she’s come a long way, that little girl from Rochdale and Stockport. She writes for theatre, other singers and for herself and she can still find quite a lot of today’s world hilarious. Often referred to as ‘the politicised chansonnier’ and cited as one of the world’s best performers of Dylan’s material, Barb turns to six of his most politically hard-hitting songs along with five of Leonard Cohen’s most impassioned songs of conscience. Barb’s selection for Hard Rain reflects her personal despair with the political times that we live in and she has deliberately chosen songs that resonate as strongly today as they did when they were originally

KEEPING THE HALLS ALIVE In the 60s a dance circuit was created in the northern rivers combining six halls, starting with Crabbe’s Creek Hall. These halls where independent of council funding, so they had to create ways to raise money for their ongoing upkeep. They did this by creating a dancehall atmosphere and every Saturday night one of these halls was packed and pulsating with music and dancing. The Blues Shack aims to bring back the concept that once made these halls famous, so on Saturday catch The Soulshakers, Milan Hendrik EXP, and the Camel Tones. Food will be catered by the hall.

ROD MURRAY DUO AT CLUB LENNOX ON SUNDAY
Why do you think there is such a synergy between Bello Winter Music and the Bello LeaF program? Bellingen is a real hub for eco and health awareness, has a vibrant musical and artistic community, and is a popular tourist destination given its stunning location on the mid north coast of NSW. All of these things make it the perfect region to host a music festival with a sustainability festival built in. Who tends to participate in these programs? Is it the usual suspects or did you get new rollups last year? The usual suspects were there with bells on but there were plenty of new rollups as well. It was a really welcoming and friendly vibe so everyone got involved, even kids. How did you get involved? I’m a longtime Bellingen local so I’m well aware of all of the fantastic organisations that are ingrained into our community. When Bello Winter Music director Glenn Wright suggested we work with the Bellingen Shire Learning Alliance to create a mini-festival showcasing all of these great organisations, I offered my full support. We are very lucky to live in an area so rich in knowledge and skills. Bello has a way of drawing people in and making them fall in love with the town. A large portion of the population (myself included) visited the town on holiday and vowed to move here one day. I think the Bello LeaF program is a fantastic way to get people to really connect with our community in a short time and to engage with our locals on a deeper, more memorable level. Tell me about some of the innovative programs you have happening this year. Everyone loves a primitive fire-making workshop. It was a big hit last year and we anticipate it will be popular again in 2016. I’m also particularly fond of the Edible and Medicinal Weeds tour by Bellingen’s Centre for Ecological Learning. The wonderful Damian Harrison from Chamomile Naturopathy will be taking festival-goers on a tour of the town and unmasking some of the wellkept secrets of the plant world. And while we’re on the topic of plants, the Bellingen Community Garden tour by co-founder, Steve Smith, will also be well worth a look! The garden is an everevolving and very impressive space that has stood the test of time and is surely one of Australia’s best community gardens. We are involved with more than ten different local organisations including the Centre for Ecological Learning, who are presenting the yoga and meditation workshops, primitive fire-making, and introduction to Gumbaynggirr language workshops and also the Edible and Medicinal Weeds Walk to name a few. We also have Bellingen EYE, OzGreen, Northbank Community Garden, Tallowwood Sangha, Bellingen Shire Electricity Alliance and Bellingen Urban Landcare involved, and more.
Discover how studying film at Australia’s leading creative media institute can focus your skills and help ensure your epic adventure behind the lens is all action, no drama.
What is your vision for Bellingen and the engagement of community in environmental projects? When it comes to sustainability, Bellingen is full of amazingly knowledgeable individuals and organisations with big visions for our town. Between them they have a really positive impact in our region and Bello Winter Music is proud to have them involved in the event. I think the festival is a great place for these organisations to get together and showcase their knowledge and skills to a wider audience and it adds a fantastic and uniquely ‘Bellingen’ dimension to our event. This element of Bello Winter Music truly represents our town and we are really proud of that. Any continued involvement of festival-goers with these organisations and their projects is a big win. That is exactly why we want to be involved with the Bellingen Shire Learning Alliance. Bello Winter Music (6–10 July). For tickets and program info go to bellowintermusic.com.

The Lone Goat Gallery Three years at The Goat is the first Survey Show featuring local artists who have all had solo shows at the Gallery since it opened. The exhibition runs from Friday 13 May till 1 June 2016. The Lone Goat Gallery was formed in 2013, under the auspices of The ByronShire Council’s 355 Committee structure, and is managed by six volunteer members from the community with the help of forty dedicated volunteer attendants.
Micro Milky Way, Turiya Bruce
Its vision is to provide a quality exhibition space and an innovative program that attracts artists and visitors from our region and beyond. The Lone Goat Gallery is presently without funding. The response from artists has been exciting. The Gallery has been booked solidly, changing exhibitions every two to three weeks, providing continued interest and diversity for the viewer. In fact, recently Webjet advised that the Loan Goat Gallery has been rated by their followers as one of the top 10 things to do in Byron Bay. The name – The Lone Goat Gallery – comes from the sole surviving member of the Lighthouse herd. Her strong independent spirit is a fitting parallel to the many creative and free-spirited individuals who largely make up this community.

TAURUS: Yes, there’ll be complicated situations, confusing conversations and a few bloopers, but the present triad of planets in your sign making wonderful conjunctions to other heavenly bodies means this week’s all about Taurans. You’re quite the love magnet, with others wanting what you’ve got – which currently is a lot.
J
GEMINI: Think twice this week (that’s second nature for Geminis anyway) before passing on gossip; it could backfire with unwanted repercussions, so be discreet. Domestic issues need your attention, but if midweek’s emotional moon has your energy at a low ebb, put projects on hold and take time out to replenish it.
K
ARIES: This week’s notes to self: Moderate the Aries

mojo. Avoid coming on too strong, or locking horns over petty problems. Rearrange economic priorities. Refurbish something valuable that’s been languishing unused. Step away from limiting beliefs or poison thoughts. Remember to reward self by splurging on some material comfort or delicious indulgence.
CANCER: Celestial indications are that mixed signals are set to continue this week – sorry about that. It’s not all stress and pressure though, as midweek Cancer moon eases strictures and others return your kindness. Steady and measured is May’s mantra, with results slow to show but growth definitely proceeding behind the scenes.
M
SAGITTARIUS: This week’s astral salad features an unusual blend of piquant, pungent and peppery – a tasting plate that engages your Sagittarian talents to the fullest. Meanwhile, your planet captain Jupiter in the sign of getting it right continues tweaking beliefs about how it should be in favour of working creatively with how it is.
N
CAPRICORN: As May’s strongly earth-oriented energy unfolds, practical planning slowly but surely starts manifesting tangible results this week, despite retrograde exasperations. Best day is Friday the 13th, which has excellent aspects for a launch or marketing venture, a holiday getaway or playbreak. Or just being host with the mostest…
O
LEO: Instead of complaining about delays, setbacks or disappointments, why not do the opposite? Take advantage by using the opportunity to kick back, reconnect with friends, indulge in something delicious, and enjoy something you’re usually too busy for. By late-week Leo moon you’ll be back starring in your own extravaganza again.
VIRGO: Kicking off with Jupiter’s forward move in Virgo, this week launches you out of the widespread introspective bubble into an expansive, progressive phase of mutually profitable exchange. If hot travel offers, multicultural exploration or other exciting developments come up, try not to lock in plans for another fortnight. Leave room to fine tune. LIBRA: If you’re doing the usual Libran thing of should-I / shouldn’t-I make a move, wait if you can another two weeks till Mercury’s in a more willing mood after the 22nd. In the meantime there’s oodles of indulgent Venusian delights on offer with this week’s juicy influx of extra funding, encouragement and support.
L
SCORPIO: As Jupiter’s forward drive applies correcting fluid to emotional logjams, Mars in conjunction with the scarlet super-star Antares sets up a celestial matrix that suggests taking a step back from the current dynamic would be this week’s smartest strategy. A little distance could do wonders for everyone’s objectivity and equanimity.
AQUARIUS: Whatever you call your inner guidance – higher self, intuition or basic common sense – it speaks through feelings, physical sensations or thoughts that arrive seemingly out of nowhere. All easily drowned out by the relentless mind chatter, static and white noise from our environment. It’s essential this week to tune into Channel You.
P
PISCES: This week calls for the use of your internal satnav to distinguish genuine from faux, wannabes from the real deal – and is also suggesting you refrain from unrequested rescue missions. All of which will free up space to cogitate, contemplate and recalibrate: the true purpose of the present retrograde’s enforced pause.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL
FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS The truth often hurts – but there is always more than one truth. Florence (Meryl Streep) was a New York socialite and benefactress of the arts who was so wealthy that she was able to indulge her passion for music by hiring stages on which she would sing to her chosen audiences. In 1944 she booked the famous Carnegie Hall to perform for American GIs and sailors, to whom she issued thousands of free tickets. Florence, however, was a dreadful singer – but only an extremely skilful vocalist could deliberately sing as tunelessly and out of key as Streep does. The movie is uproariously funny to begin with, as Florence swans about in blissful self-delusion, but soon enough the sad reality of her situation emerges. Her husband, the great love of her life, St Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), himself a notquite-successful actor, remained her unstinting supporter, despite their marriage never being consummated (this is not a spoiler – it’s made clear early on). His onerous task was to ensure that his darling would never be shaken from her dream. For every needy person there is always somebody willing to give, and it is Bayfield’s unshakeable commitment to his wife’s happiness that director Stephen Frears is as focused on as Florence’s delusion.
If you are wondering (like every other civilised person on the planet) how America has allowed the grotesquerie that is Donald Trump to come within a stone’s throw of the leadership of what the media amusingly refers to as ‘the free world’, this crap movie might explain a lot; it appears that the whole nation has had a lobotomy. In the opening scene we have Kelly (Rose Byrne), the young mum from the first instalment, sitting atop her stoner husband Mac (Seth Rogen), making love to him. She promptly vomits on his face. If you think that’s funny, you might need to see a doctor. Soon after, their baby girl turns up carrying a pink dildo – it’s a sight gag that is repeated ad nauseam – then a bit later we have blood-stained tampons being hurled against a window – hilarious, huh? Most out there of all, however (‘out there’ is so cool, is it not?), Mac mentions that a Jewish woman is pregnant, saying ‘another Jew in the oven’. Rogen is Jewish himself, but have we become so desensitised that such a line can be considered remotely witty? Millions of Jews were gassed to death in ovens by the Nazis – is it just me, or is there nothing humorous about that? Surely Australia can make films as bad as this, so why are we swamped by such Hollywood excreta? And why does feminism – which is the lame theme of this wannabenaughty drivel – believe that its ultimate triumph lies in proving that girls can be just as stupid as blokes? The story? The screenwriters, taking no chances, have virtually regurgitated BN1, which is probably as offensive as the tripe contained within it. But the biggest joke is saved until last; after the tear-down-the-walls tumult of the preceding hour-and-a-half, Kelly and Mac and the kids, in their shiny 4x4, resume their life in a spanking new McMansion in the burbs. The genre’s ‘bad boy’ pretence is staggering.
The outsider drawn into Florence’s orbit was her accompanist Cosme McMoon (Simon Helber). A classically trained pianist who had been playing for nickels and dimes in whatever gigs he could find, McMoon is at first astounded by Florence’s lack of ability, but he is won over by the force of her personality, and because she is so genuine and true to her yearnings. Cosme, in his own way, is also emboldened by her and seduced by his employers’ glamour. Streep is fabulous, but Grant has leapt from rom-com leading man to at last be a player of proper gravitas – he owns the movie. Poignant, gallant and, not uncommon for Frears, awash with the grandeur of the human spirit, this is one you shouldn’t miss.

by retaining water in harsh and arid environments. ‘Fuel cells, like the ones used in electric vehicles, generate energy by mixing together simple gases, like hydrogen and oxygen,’ Dr Thornton said. ‘However, in order to maintain performance, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells – or PEMFCs – need to stay constantly hydrated. ‘At the moment this is achieved by placing the cells alongside a radiator, water reservoir and a humidifier. ‘The downside is that when used in a vehicle, these occupy a large amount of space and consume significant power.’ Every year many thousand unwanted cats and dogs are born to pets that haven’t been desexed. And sadly, most end up being put down. So please...
According to CSIRO researcher and co-author Dr Cara Doherty, the team’s new cactus-inspired solution offers an alternative. ‘A cactus plant has tiny cracks, called stomatal pores, which open at night when it is cool and humid, and close during the day when the conditions are hot and arid,’ Dr Doherty said. ‘This helps it retain water. ‘This membrane works in a similar way. Water is generated by an electrochemical reaction, which is then regulated through nano-cracks within the skin. ‘The cracks widen when exposed to humidifying conditions, and close up when it is drier. ‘This means that fuel cells can remain hydrated without the need for bulky external humidifier equipment. ‘We also found that the skin made the fuel cells up to four times as efficient in hot and dry conditions.’ Professor Young Moo Lee from Hanyang University, who led the research, said that this could have major implications for many industries, including the development of electric vehicles. ‘At the moment, one of the main barriers to the uptake of fuel-cell electric vehicles is water management and heat management in fuel-cell systems,’ Professor Lee said. ‘This research addresses this hurdle, bringing us a step closer to fuel-cell electric vehicles being more widely available. ‘This technique could also be applied to other existing technologies that require hydrated membranes, including devices for water treatment and gas separation.’ The cross-continent team has been working together for more than ten years. For this study, Hanyang University conceived and designed the experiments. Using characterisation and modelling expertise, CSIRO researchers were then able to determine how the membranes behaved under changing humidities. The paper, Nano-crack regulated self-humidifying membranes, is available at nature.com.

Understudies show the way for dispirited Devils Story & photo John Campbell
Telling it like it is can too easily be counterproductive. The Byron Bay Red Devils are at a psychological low ebb and the last thing they need is for the boot to be put into them. But to sugar the pill could do even more harm, so, being brutally honest, the Bay’s first half in Sunday’s NRRRL clash with the Tweed Coast Raiders was the worst forty that they have produced this season. They were never in the hunt. Lucky to be trailing by only 16–0 at the break, they ended up being smashed 36–6, and the score was fair enough. In the preliminary bout, however, the reggies made it four wins from four starts, and the contrast between the two sides could not be more glaring. The B-graders are playing with confidence, unity and a steadfast belief that they will

get the bikkies if they just keep at it. A-grade are like a rudderless ship. It was a hot afternoon (will the weather never cool?) and most of the estimated crowd of 3,702 turned up expecting the home side to break their duck against the equally under-performing visitors. The early exchanges were tough, but the Devils, if
holding their own, seemed uncertain of themselves and uncommunicative – to the extent that ‘talk, boys!’ was a repeated cry from the bench. When the Raiders’ former Devil, Jared De Thierry, sent one of his forwards through a yawning gap to score the simplest of tries, a pall fell over the ground. ‘Here we go again’ was the fear that filled
our hearts. The boys struck back with vigour, but whenever they got a set close to their opponents’ line they found some way of surrendering the pill. Their current form gives the impression that they practise poor passes at training… or are unaware that it is the sixtackle rule that applies, not the four – or two. Byron managed a few raids in Tweed’s twenty, but a lack of penetration was almost as worrying as their regular inability to execute their work with any finesse – Tweed weren’t that good, but the Devils were making them look like champions.
That man De Thierry laid on a perfectly weighted chip for the Raiders’ second try and, though still early in the piece, pessimism took a stranglehold – the Old Bloke, making a welcome return to the outer but disappointed at the no-show of the lady linesman, was already talking about going home. The game irretrievably drifted further from the Bay’s grasp, but when winger Alex ‘the Goanna’ Packer scored after a fantastic 70-metre break by centre Cameron ‘Jack’ Gibson, there was a fleeting sense that maybe, just maybe, the boys would show us what they are really
capable of. Coming back from 20–6 down with plenty of time to go is doable – but only if you’re playing well. Byron weren’t, and in the blinking of an eye the Raiders had buried the contest. Glaring deficiencies in footy can be compensated for by the proper execution of the basics. The Devils at no point stopped trying, but their lack of concentration on the straightforward things was self-destructive. If they are to succeed at Kyogle next week – and they must – they might follow the reggies’ example of refusing to drop their bundle. Go, the Bay!

Rams find their form in Casino Dogwhistle
It was a much happier outing for the Great Northern Byron Bay Rams when they travelled to Casino for round five of the FFNC Championships on Saturday. A heavy injury count saw a few players stepping up a grade and the new lineup worked well in both grades. The Reserves Rams set the tone, with a dominant performance that yielded no goals in the first half. Fifteen minutes into the second half, Will Ennis was on the receiving end of a rugby tackle inside the Casino box and converted the resulting penalty to open the scoring. Minutes later, young recruit Hari Scott left nothing to chance, driving home a rebound from a goalmouth skirmish. A goal to striker Tomas and another penalty to Will Ennis took the final tally to 4–0.
The injuries to the regular Premier league squad cleared the way for the return of James Tomlinson, Herick Schuenemann and prodigal Thiago Priori with Aaron Walker taking the lead up front. The new lineup clicked from the start, with the Rams completely out-classing the tough Casino squad. A great run and cross from Priori found Walker on the run just three minutes in. Walker finished cleanly to open the scoring early. Moments later, a flanking run and cross from Emanuele Altarui into a crowded box was finished with a toe-poke from Quinn McDonald. Thiago Priori took Byron’s third goal inside the first fifteen minutes, taking the ball into a one-on-one with the keeper, playing a cheeky dummy and chipping into the net. Goal four came from a penalty from Aaron Walker in the closing minutes of the
first half. Casino rallied in the second half as Byron settled into their comfortable lead and a hand-ball in the Byron box put Casino on the scoreboard early in the second session. The Casino crew made the Rams work hard to hold their lead and, by midway through the half, the Byron boys were beginning to tire. A defensive lapse saw Casino’s Dean Casey unmarked on the back post, leaving young Rams keeper, Griffin Bambach, no chance. The Rams kept up the pressure and, with fifteen minutes remaining, James Tomlinson crossed to Aaron Walker, who drove home his third for the day to take the final score to 5–2 This Saturday, the Rams head to Lismore for another away clash with the always challenging Italo Stars. Reserves kick off at 1pm and the Prems at 3pm.
Girl-power shines on Mothers Day Dean Trevaskis
Girl-power owned Sunday footy at the Stan Thomson Oval as the Brunswick Valley Bulldogs and Murwillumbah Vulcans U9s and U13s girls season burst into life. Some were having their first taste of Aussie Rules while others looked like old campaigners with the full range of skills. The Vulcans got the bikkies
in the 13s but the Doggies fans had plenty to cheer. Sunny Hewitt split a pack, blind turned and nailed an Ablettesque goal. Kaliyah Browning led the defence with poise and penetrating kicks. Jemimah Jordan rucked gallantly to the lightning-fast Wyuna Baker and Jordan Diehm provided the run-and-carry. It was a great effort by all the girls with committed

They played with such enthusiasm and joy that parents from both clubs were cheering as one. With the women’s national league kicking off next year, girls’ footy is sport’s waking giant. Go, girls!

Lennox-based coach invited to US Emily Pierce
Local coach Nolan Pierce and his friend Ben Spiers from the UK have proposed an inspiring new way of training kids in soccer. Precision Soccer is an England-based soccer-coaching company that conducts training programs and skillsbased courses for children. Having been invited to America, Nolan’s company J&N Sports and Ben’s Precision Soccer have devised camps for several American soccer clubs. Nolan says we focus on ‘the ball skills of Brazilian street soccer’. Improving each indi-
vidual’s ball technique with freestyle moves, juggling, and fast feet helps control the ball during the game. After his trip, Nolan hopes to get camps started in the northern NSW area. Nolan says, ‘Creating a fun, friendly atmosphere
makes the kids enjoy training more. We do this by playing music on the field. The precision soccer approach is something kids haven’t experienced before.’ A smaller inflatable field is assembled to retain the children and to sharpen footwork skills. The aim is also to develop the psychological, social and interpersonal skills of young people, as well as the physical. As part of the five-day camp they will be teaching the children about healthy living, self-esteem, teamwork, making new friends, perseverance and respect for one another.
Bruns-Byron send reps Brunswick Byron Netball Rep teams headed out to Casino to kick off round two of the Regional Netball Carnival Series.

Backlash
Knitting Nannas Against Gas protested last week outside mining company Santos’s HQ in their new prison uniform, designed in response to Mike Baird’s draconian anti-protest laws. Local artist Rosie Lee printed the fabric for the north coast nannas, adapting the design of the arrows from pictures of early convict uniforms. Nannas Merryl, Rosie and Nonna Angela did the cutting and sewing. The Brisbane and Gold Coast nanna chapters improvised using disposable overalls and paint. Santos reckons it won’t be ‘bullied’ out of the Pilliga, but it doesn’t really understand nanna gumption.
