Cars were shut out of the main street of Bangalow on Sunday as competitors of all ages took to their hand-made vehicles in a downhill race towards a ‘crash barrier’ of hay bales. Organiser of the annual Bangalow Billycart Derby, Tony Heeson, said, ‘The Billycart Derby is a wonderful example of a community event because there are no barriers to entry.’ Drivers Cam Hollows and Dana Perrignon took a fairly laidback approach to their entry.

Mining PR blunder reveals NSW sell-off deposits’ identified across the state were packaged into promotional materials and used at various overseas mining ‘investor conferences’.

No prior knowledge The materials that relate to the northern rivers area have been withdrawn, and a spokesperson said that ‘neither the minister, nor his staff or any other member of parliament, reviewed or had prior knowledge of this material before it was published.’ ‘The NSW Division of Resources and Energy is fully aware that the NSW government policy is that

Complaints and threats embroil coastal policy

Bangalow’s race day

Despite the promise of a gas-free region by National Party MPs, a bungle by state government bureaucrats has revealed efforts to sell off the northern rivers, as well as large swathes of NSW, to overseas mining investors. It was all on offer at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada conference in Toronto, Canada, which attracted around 20,000 people in March, according to its website. Staff from the NSW Division of Resources and Energy (DRE) released a letter on Friday with a ‘full and unreserved apology’ for the gaffe, which admits ‘gas finds and mineral

there will be no further petroleum or gas exploration or production in the northern rivers region of NSW’. On February 11 this year, the Division announced on its website that it had finalised and rebranded an interactive CD containing a mining resource directory, called XplorPak 2016. That webpage has been deleted; however, it can be accessed via web tool www.archive.org/web, which serves up webpages that no longer exist. Remarkably the blunder also extends to trying to sell uranium continued on page 2

It was all going swimmingly for the council majority at last Thursday’s meeting. Plans to publicly exhibit a major coastal policy – albeit incomplete and with major legal uncertainties – was passed with the usual vote, accompanied by the usual rhetoric and noisy residents in the chamber. Those in favour of protecting Belongil landowners with beach frontage are Councillors Ibrahim, Woods, Alan Hunter, Cubis and Wanchap. Those in the minority are mayor Richardson, Crs Dey, Spooner and Cameron, who are against possibly losing the iconic world-renowned Belongil beach. A 1.6km rock wall is planned. But a last-minute recission motion by Cr Duncan Dey threw the coastal zone management plan Byron Bay Embayment (CZMP BBE) into chaos. A recission motion allows councillors to revisit previous motions that have been passed, and in this case, puts even more pressure on whether the policy can be done and dusted by the June 30 deadline. Cr Dey’s recission motion – which will most likely be rejected at this Thursday’s council meeting – attempts to seek more information on planned retreat options, extend public consultation past the minimum time frame and asks for ministerial and department advice. It enraged Cr Sol Ibrahim, who immediately instigated a Code of Conduct (CoC) complaint against those who signed the recission motion: Crs Dey, Cameron and mayor Richardson.

Cr Ibrahim claims the trio intentionally delayed the CZMP BBE. He told The Echo, ‘The Local Government Act 1993 has been amended so that the use of rescission motions to impede the proper functioning of a Council is misconduct and therefore subject to Code of Conduct complaints.’ But mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that he has every right to contest the motion, owing to so many problematic issues identified within the CZMP BBE.

CoC threat It also turns out that Cr Ibrahim previously threatened Cr Dey with a CoC complaint, after Cr Dey recently announced he intends to publish a press release by a committee overseeing the CZMP BBE. Cr Dey is chair of the Project Reference Group (PRG), and he will ask Council this Thursday to support him in providing the public with more information over planned retreat. And while Cr Ibrahim claims going to the media contravenes the PRG constitution, it appears that section 15 allows it. It reads that, ‘PRG members, unless authorised by Council, are not to promote or advertise the group’s activities or to speak on behalf of the committee with the media. Only the chair can speak on behalf of the Committee with the media.’ The Echo understands that Council staff are considering the CoC investigation into the three councillors who moved the recission motion. And as a result of Code of Conduct inquires, those under investigation are forbidden to talk to the media, as it is treated as confidential.

Dog owner fined $5,000 over attack The owner of a dog which attacked and bit a woman in a Byron Bay park last year was fined $5,000 in Byron Bay Local Court last week. The court also ordered the owner never be allowed to own another dog and that her Rhodesian ridgeback cross, which had been subject to numerous complaints to Byron Shire Council and been declared dangerous, be destroyed.

Pulitzer prize-winner and staff writer at The New Yorker, William Finnegan, is set to join more than 150 writers, poets, journalists, politicians and thinkers for the Byron Writers Festival over August 5 till 7. This year marks the 20th anniversary, which will see 20 extra sessions, and has been made possible by the newly opened Elements resort. Director Edwina Johnson says Cheryl Strayed, Charlotte Wood and Madga Szubanski

will also join the lineup. ‘There’s a new website coming soon, and the buzz for the festival has truly kicked in,’ she says. Ms Johnson says it is a coup to attract lauded US journalist and author William Finnegan to the festival. ‘There is appealing synchronicity too in the fact that his Pulitzer prize-winning memoir Barbarian Days carries the subtitle A Surfing Life.’

‘Owing to the win, he’s now touring the country – previously he was just coming out for the festival.’ ‘Last year, we had sell-out days on festival Friday and Saturday, so I encourage everyone to order tickets early to avoid disappointment.’ Earlybird tickets are on sale from May 18 and the full program will be announced June 15.

Draft rural strategy submissions close May 20 Hans Lovejoy

Cr Sol Ibrahim influenced a major rural planning document after conferring with ‘several local planners’, yet has declined to name them. The draft Rural Land Use Strategy public submissions close May 20. The strategy has been mired in controversy after Cr Ibrahim sprung large changes upon councillors two days prior to their voting for it to go before the public. It was clear that not all councillors understood or had read the changes. Cr Ibrahim assured the council chamber at the time that he had collaborated only with Council’s planning director, Shannon

Burt. He also admonished those councillors for not having read his last-minute email. Yet mayor Simon Richardson told BayFM last week that ‘a certain councillor’ had conferred with not only staff, but a town planner, over his last-minute changes. When asked, Cr Ibrahim told The Echo over the course of its formulation, the number of planners he consulted was ‘from memory four,’ including ‘extensive discussions with the previous director of planning before his retirement’. He said, ‘Over the past few years, planners have also commented in a number of forums on the existing plan’s weaknesses and recommendations

for a new one. The director judged that most of the amendments were minor, and did not object to any of them from memory. The amendments are rational.’ Throughout, the mayor has remained optimistic and previously told The Echo he was looking forward to seeing public feedback. This is despite voting against it going before the public, and then putting his name to its press release. Progress associations, residents’ groups and former mayor Jan Barham have been highly critical, saying adopting the strategy will lead to open season on development.

Gone are the days when stethoscope-clad physicians were god, and you went home and took a pill. Twenty-first century medicine looks very different, and in Mullumbimby, the Integrative Medical Centre are taking health care that one step further into holistic wellness management. Under the leadership of Dr Oscar Serrallach, the practitioners at the Dalley Street centre are forging new paths with their individualised health approach. Dr Oscar says, ‘Integrated medicine is not just throwing a few herbs and some acupuncture at the disease model. You’re only going to get so far with that.’ ‘It’s kind of up to the patient to make and follow up appointments, and things can

being, the aim is to focus on preventive health strategies that will not only restore good health, but keep patients going further in that direction. The team includes three doctors, a nutritionist, a psychologist, an acupuncturist/ physio, as well as nurses – the interesting thing is that all of the practitioners are not only qualified in their chosen vocations, but they are all also trained in other modalities, which helps to create a very rounded view of health issues. Oscar says this clinic is well suited to the area. ‘People who live in this area are often more open to things outside the square.’

Kindergarten Information Session

A local video production company is seeking people who may be feeling unhappy in their life, or perhaps feeling trapped or stuck in their current state, to form a small group willing to participate, and be filmed, in evidencebased workshops. Victoria Armstrong from Psychwire says it has partnered with world-leading expert, best-selling author, and educator Dr Russ Harris to develop his book, The Happiness Trap, into an online video program. Ms Armstrong says, ‘The Happiness Trap is based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a revolutionary mindfulness-based model, developed from cutting-edge research in behavioural psychology. The aim of ACT is to maximise human potential for a rich and meaningful life, and a wealth of published scientific studies prove its effectiveness.’ The workshops will be filmed across three weekends in June and July.

Visiting multi-award-winning filmmakers Nandan Sazen and Kavita Bahl will present their powerful film, Cotton for my Shroud, at the Mullumbimby Drill Hall, May 25 from 7pm. It explores how the agriculture policies of the Indian government and GMO corporation Monsanto have created a cycle of debt and misery for farmers. It’s estimated that 250,000 Indian cotton farmers have committed suicide over a 16 year period. The filmmakers were invited to Australia by Monash University, and were introduced to Screenworks by local documentary filmmaker David Bradbury. Mr Bradbury says he was moved by how powerfully the movie brings out the voice of the farmers and exposes the scourge that genetically modified crops and multinational corporations has released on India. He says, ‘The Indian state has created conditions that are not conducive to the survival of small farmers.’ ‘They want them to go, just as the small farmers are being

In their place will step in large corporations that own vast swathes of farmland, growing pesticide-laced, genetically modified food for an unsuspecting nation. ‘You’ve got to hand it to Monsanto,’ Bradbury said. ‘They’ve got all bases covered from the cradle to the grave

when it comes to making money. Even down to the very burial material the poor cotton farmer is buried in.’ The filmmakers will also give a one-day practical camera-and-documentary production workshop on May 26, hosted by Mr Bradbury at Wilsons Creek. Phone 6684 0015 for more information.

A NSW government department set up for the purpose of selling off the state to the highest bidder made a massive boo boo and included the northern rivers in its promotional material for overseas mining investors. The Echo asked follow-up questions to The Division of Energy and Resources (DRE) regarding this edition’s page-one story. The department says the materials were used at ‘various investor conferences’. The Echo asked ‘How many, exactly?’ They replied, ‘This material was distributed at only two conferences. At the Prospectors and Developers Association event held in Canada (estimated to have attracted 20,000 guests) the Division provided 200 USBs to guests who visited the Division’s booth. The other event was an internal DRE conference.’ The Echo also asked, ‘Will the department be taking any disciplinary action against those responsible? If so, what would that likely to be?’ They replied that the division ‘does not comment on staffing matters,’ but were ‘greatly concerned by this unfortunate situation.’ If the NSW government was ‘greatly concerned’ by an ‘unfortunate situation’ like climate change, it wouldn’t exacerbate it by trying to open up more fossil fuel mines. April broke the global temperature record, NASA said this week, marking seven months of new highs. When will these fools stop selling the place from under us and work towards a clean-energy future? Maybe big media can help?

The Byron Shire Echo

ear and greed, say the cynics, are the most elemental of human motivators; in the end, the gentler emotions will inevitably succumb to the sinful duo. And so it has been for Malcolm Turnbull in his first official week of campaigning. The fear he has brought on himself: the rhetoric on Bill Shorten’s modest proposal to limit negative gearing has now reached tornado proportions. This is in spite of the Reserve Bank, almost all economists, Jeff Kennett, Joe Hockey, even, at one stage, Scott Morrison accepting that some gentle reforms would not be a bad idea. Interestingly, the opposition has not daunted Turnbull in the least; but what should worry him is an onslaught of friendly fire from the Real Estate Institute. Yes, the spruikers, speculators and profiteers of the property market are joining forces with Australia’s prime minister. Can secondhand car salesmen, cancer quacks and tabloid journalists be far behind? With friends like these…. And the greed also came from friendly fire – or at least those who could normally be counted on to support the Liberals. Australia’s richest four per cent are outraged – white hot with anger – at the suggestion that they might reduce one of their tax lurks for the common good. They had planned for their future, and now it was to be taken away from them – retrospectively! Well, perhaps not, but that doesn’t assuage their indignation, and there is a precedent. Way back in 1980, Malcolm Fraser’s treasurer John Howard enacted legislation to outlaw what was known as “bottom of the harbour” schemes – a blatant form of

tax avoidance. The fury of those who were affected by that nice little earner was violent and prolonged; the repercussions dragged on for years and may even have contributed to the demise of the Fraser government in 1983. The current spat may not be so drawn out, but while it lasts, it is likely to be a major headache for Turnbull and Morrison; the only consolation is that the super rich involved are not likely to vote Labor as a result. But their greed is boundless; the idea that they might not be allowed to work their

problems, but there is no immediate prospect of that happening, so we have, as they say, moved on. Shorten has also got his lines somewhat confused about the education revolution – just how much and when will it tickle the hip-pocket nerve? But once again, this is something of a non-event. Just about every parent and every teacher will tell you that extra funding for schools, provided that they are targeted properly to afford the most valuable outcomes, is simply a no-brainer. And Gonski, although not yet elevated

Their greed is boundless; the idea that they might not be allowed to work their tax schemes at will is all but defiance of a law of nature.

by Mungo MacCallum tax schemes at will is all but defiance of a law of nature. In fact there will be still substantial considerations: they will still be able to dip into the public trough. But not quite to the extent that they feel entitled to. And at least part of it was Morrison’s fault: he did not consult them first. They wouldn’t have taken much notice but at least they could not have claimed that they had been ambushed. As it is, their government has betrayed them. It will end in tears – or worse, serious recriminations. For Shorten, things are not so serious. The persistent trawling to unearth candidates who are not entirely happy with the Pacific Solution and Operation Sovereign Borders is providing plenty of victims, but there is no real indication that the public cares – the boats have stopped. If they started up again there would certainly be

to the giddy heights of Medicare as a national icon, is still a huge positive for Labor. The nay-sayers are a bit confused about it; last week The Australian ran a breathless front page explaining that money was not the answer because the Chinese only spent half the amount Australia paid, and everyone knew how clever their children are. This was too silly even for the regular readers of the paper, who went straight to the letters columns to debunk the absurd comparison. There will, at the very least, be a major trickle-down effect for implementing Gonski in full, and of course the social and political dividends are simply unarguable. And it is worth remembering that trickle down is all that is credibly promised from the National Economic Plan for corporate tax cuts. And the last distraction of the week came from the wily

Richard di Natale, who presented a shopping list in the event of a hung parliament, averring that Shorten would inevitably fall to the bait rather than subject the nation to a second election. Shorten denied this indignantly, but his bluster was unconvincing: politicians, as di Natale pointed out, exist to gain power. But it should be added that Labor would not be the only bidder in the auction if the all but unthinkable occurred: the coalition would be in it with at least equal zeal. It is worth recording that in 2010 Abbott was in it with his ears back; he reportedly told Tony Windsor that he would do anything except sell his arse to become prime minister. Even Turnbull’s most assiduous and irritating propagandist, Matthias Cormann, refuses to commit to a new poll after the marathon of the last one. And the climax, to give it an importance it does not deserve, was the set piece in western Sydney, an event endlessly masticated by the political tragics and almost entirely ignored by the general public. The first of the debates, or forums, or whatever they are supposed to be called, gave the audience a clear win for Shorten. Some of the commentators said that this was because almost all of the questions were on his agenda, but this is precisely the point: Shorten was talking about a lot more than Turnbull, whose maunderings about his national economic plan simply did not cut through. But there will be other opportunities, and Turnbull will have to reprogram fear, greed, jobs and growth if he is to connect with the masses. He can’t hope to win on the backs of the super rich and the Real Estate Institute.

Coastal sacrifice The extraordinary meeting of Council on Thursday May 12 was aimed at getting the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan out on public exhibition for just over the minimum three weeks required under the Coastal Protection Act of 1979. Most of Council’s strategic documents get exhibited for a couple of months, not three weeks. The public have not

yet seen the draft, which proposes building rock walls along the beach at Belongil (stronger than the current private ones). The draft plan ignores the long-term effects of walls, like sacrificing the sandy beach in front of the walls and damaging the shorebird nesting area north-west of them. Unbelievably, it sets examining such issues as something for the future.

The 2016 draft is a BjelkePetersen ‘don’t you worry about that’ plan. It also ignores the fact that future generations will pay forever to keep the wall intact after storms until a smarter generation wakes up to the fact that fighting nature is unsustainable. Most modern countries are currently buying back privatised water frontage. Here in the colony, this dinosaurian plan

proposes the opposite. Four of your nine councillors believe the draft plan should get maximum exposure and that the public need to understand what is to be sent to NSW planning minister Rob Stokes on their behalf for him to certify into ‘law’. After the meeting on Thursday, three of us lodged a rescission motion against the exhibition process. This was announced at the end of the meeting. A majority councillor with a legal background then lodged with the general manager a complaint under Section 440F(1)(e) of the Local Government Act. He says that our act of lodging a rescission motion ‘is intended to prevent the proper and effective functioning of the council’. He asks the GM to advise us to withdraw the motion. The GM has responded by advising that while the rescission motion is valid, there may be a case to answer under s440F. That’s how desperate the majority councillors are to get their CZMP past you, the public, with as little scrutiny as can be arranged. When exhibition does start, please consider making a submission against it. Cr Duncan Dey Main Arm

continued from page 9 long-term reasons the land should remain undeveloped at this time. A look at other situations where cottage hospitals have been replaced by a district facility can explain. Four years ago an attractive new seniors’ development a long stone’s throw from Lismore Base Hospital was opened. Its position close to medical services was considered to be an advantage. The last thing we seniors considered at the time was the effect on us of the growth of district health needs and the

expansion of the hospital and its parking requirements. Now that the new wing of the Base Hospital (ten storeys above ground topped by a helipad) looms over us, our street has been developed for paid and time-limited parking and the state government has built a five-storey car park for hospital staff and visitors across the street from our homes. After enduring ten months of excavation and construction noise and dust, twelve hours a day, six days a week, we can find nowhere to park, our immediate aspect is a

monster car park construction with hundreds of bright lights shining into our homes from all floors twenty-four hours a day and we have helicopter noise to look forward to. The need for hospital expansion and attendant parking requirements are as assured in Byron as they are in Lismore. At a conservative estimate of five per cent per annum, growth in Byron Shire would more than triple in under 23 years. By that time many more in the Byron area will be looking towards seniors’ accommodation.

Spare them the horrors of living in the shadow of an expanding hospital and its needs. Keep the land around your new facility to accommodate that growth. House your seniors where they can touch the grass and see the stars. Rhonda Ellis Lismore

Bruns laneways Clarification is needed re the naming of the sevenlaneways in Brunswick Heads (Letters, May 11). Council’s exhibited names are a ‘conversation

starter’ only. They have been pulled at random from an overarching street directory register. Given the subsequent interest in the issue, Council has given an extension of time until May 26 for submissions. A report will go to Council in June for decision making. Here is an opportunity to honour the memory of people, both European and Aboriginal, of Brunswick Heads, keeping in mind that names of streets and laneways already in the Shire cannot be duplicated.

Regarding Elements’ recent letter to neighbours and an article in The Echo, Sunrise Progress Association sent a letter to neighbours. Here is an abbreviated version. Elements says the train will be quieter than the XPT. They have no acoustic measurements. They use a meaningless description for the train’s horn [sounded every time it crosses Kendall St], as ‘gently sounding.’ The train has an air horn and it will sound like a train horn. The resort admits it will be using toxic diesel, saying the same diesel used in trucks will be used in the train, stating, ‘There is not a special kind of more toxic diesel fuel for our train.’ The train does not have particulate filtration. Elements planners are using their 1987 DA as if community standards about the environment haven’t changed since then. They make ‘minor amendments’ via S96 submissions which are significant amendments. They got approval to run the train 7.30am–10.30pm regardless of residents’ concerns aired at Council. Elements’ letter says this train ‘ticked all the boxes,’ for running. It doesn’t tick any boxes for environmental sensitivity, frequency of operation, proximity to housing and tourist accommodation and the changes of community standards since 1987. It defies belief that a socalled ‘eco resort’ operating in a ‘zero emissions’ town like Byron Bay could proceed without any evidence of environmental assessment or scrutiny. Stay informed with ‘No Dirty Diesel Train Byron’ Facebook. Lee Cass Byron Bay Q Elements of Byron. Judging by their name, they appear to be tapping into Byron Bay’s

netdaily.net.au now largely fictitious reputation for being at the forefront of the new age. Since the vast majority of people in the world are now, to some degree, environmentally concerned, this is a growing market as many Byron operators are aware. Diesel locomotives are a terrible fit. Light electric railcars, subtropical resort vehicles, would do the job better, would be far less intrusive and a well-publicised solar installation would not only enhance their image enormously, it would remove their fuel bills. Considerably more attractive, more passengers, less expensive to run and a PR coup for their resort. A tip for operators tapping into this market: The world is beginning to understand what we in the sustainability movement have known for some time. Sustainable practice makes far better economic sense. Don’t just talk the talk; it could be far more profitable to walk the walk. Robin Harrison Binna Burra

Rock wall fiasco And so the rock wall fiasco at Belongil beach, on one councillor’s agenda since day one, finally goes on public display for a mere three weeks. Originally 100 metres at Manfred Street, suddenly it’s 1.6km with a walkway on top. Why? To avoid litigation from a handful of wealthy dune dwellers. How? With the assistance of four conservative councillors. Result if built – loss of beach, tourism dollar, endangered species of birds nesting at the mouth of the Belongil estuary and further possible litigation from Elements resort for loss of their own foreshore and amenity. Argued to be the cheapest way to save half a dozen properties camped on the dunes themselves, it will more likely be the costliest ‘solution’ to appease Council’s most vocal litigant. Think of the massive cost of replenishing sand by pumping from Tallow Beach. In 1864 the sea penetrated from Tallow Beach as far as Belongil Creek! Could that happen again once sands are dug from there and those dunes disturbed and eroded? Then there are ongoing maintenance costs for the wall itself. And if punitive levies aren’t imposed on Belongil residents and the entire electorate to cover the cost of sand replenishment, then tourism businesses will suffer greatly from the loss of our greatest continued on page 12

Commission. The above attacks stand in stark violation of human right principles and must not be tolerated. Are we to condemn the remarkable work of drivers who drive the aged/infirm/ young/ailing/poor/dying to the Tweed Hospital? These people are aged, retired and work for nothing. In the 1990s now-retired councillor Ross Tucker stated that Cr Anudhi Wentworth, who was blind, was unfit to execute her duties owing to her infirmity. This was remedied by the Byron Environment Centre and MP Richard Jones, who lobbied for her human rights. Anudhi was given support of readers and continued to do great work for the community.

bunch of old retired, misfits, loose fits and unfits, with political motivations who know diddly squat about economic development and are totally opposed to everything, spreading fear and distrust.’ These are the sentiments of Councillors Hunter, Cubis, Woods and Ibrahim to describe the Shire’s many community associations during a recent Council meeting debating community participation in the shire consultation process. During this derogatory attack they also said community associations are regressive,

with no structure, no charter and questionable membership, thus recommending that the council not allow community associations representation in any debate re the future of the Shire. I am involved in several community associations and most are incorporated bodies with a charter and hold formal monthly meetings but to my knowledge no-one in any of the committees is a member of a political party. Community associations are made up of residents giving their time freely, volunteering to work in and for the community. The life skills and credentials they bring to the table are extensive, with professional backgrounds at executive level, educational and medical fields, and holders of tertiary degrees. Some have worked in or owned small businesses, others currently run small businesses, some

are home-keepers raising the younger members of our community while supporting their neighbours, friends, the elderly and homeless. Not sure what ‘diddly squat’ Cr Cubis thinks we don’t know but obviously judging by his outbursts he must know a lot about diddly squat! At the last Suffolk Park Progress Association public meeting we had over 160 community members attend. We have 218 followers on Facebook and as of last week our page reached 726 posts, with 260 subscribers on Mail Chimp. The Suffolk Park association has been operating since the 1950s, holding monthly committee and regular public meetings. Is this representative enough for these councillors?

(‘Wallaby deaths around Cape Byron prompt dog baiting’, Echonetdaily, May 5). We cannot, however, support the use by the NPWS of 1080 baits. 1080 is a notoriously cruel poison and indiscriminate killer which causes disorientation, diarrhoea, vomiting, convulsions, and slow agonising deaths which can take more than 24 hours. Affected animals may be consumed by birds or may leave the park and their bodies be consumed by companion animals who will suffer the same fate. PETA does not believe that the culling of animals is a suitable or effective method of limiting populations. In fact, culling can often lead to an increase in the number of animals present, as it creates

a more suitable habitat for increased reproduction. Humane, long-term population-control techniques do exist. Possible long-term solutions include immunocontraception for target animals. In one European study, a long-lasting fertility suppressant succeeded in establishing an 89 per cent reduction in the fertility of feral female goats that lasted for at least two years after treatment. And immunocontraception has already been used on companion dogs in shelters in some situations. Other humane methods include reducing the availability of appropriate shelters and placing exclusion fencing at appropriate points. Torturing and killing animals will never restore balance to the natural

environment. The only reasonable solution is either to make the land itself inhospitable to the animals or to work on controlling animal populations by reducing their fertility. Funding should be concentrated on nonlethal methods rather than poisons and other inhumane slaughter options. Laying baits that leave dogs and probably many other species of animals dying slowly in agony is not an acceptable solution. Desmond Bellamy Special Projects Coordinator, PETA Australia Byron Bay

FLAWED LAWS ANOTHER FLAWED LAW:

Suspects’ rights taken away The Law Society of NSW say they are concerned that children and those with cognitive impairment could be held for up to 14 days, without access to lawyers or family, under a new law that passed ‘without amendment’ by the coalition government on May 10, 2016. The NSW Law Society scrutinises and comments on legislation being considered by parliament. President Gary Ulman said the Terrorism (Police Powers) Amendment (Investigative Detention) Bill 2016 could lead to the arrest of children as young as 14 who can then be detained for up to 14 days and questioned for up to 16 hours a day, or longer in some circumstances, without access to lawyers or their families. ‘The definition of a “terrorism suspect” in the Bill is so broad that a person might fall within the scope of the Bill simply for possessing a “thing” that is connected with the commission of, or the preparation of planning for a terrorist act.’ Mr Ulman added Article 9(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Australia is a signatory, states that no-one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention.

continued from page 12 export brochures and regional planning documents. The first possible explanation is that the ‘no CSG for northen rivers’ policy is just one big lie. This is hard to believe. Every poll tells you that if CSG in the northern rivers is in fact the government policy they are destined to be in opposition for a very long time. I think we can dismiss this one. The second possible reason is that they are in total denial. They are having a hard time mentally adjusting to the fact that those hippies have had a win and are convinced that finally we will all see some common sense and CSG will be back. This fits nicely with the observation that so many coalition ministers have a born-to-rule attitude emanating from their landed-gentry background and/or their private school educations. The third possibility is that it was gross incompetence. That the departments left it in the plan and the export brochures and neither minister read them. Surely they would have been across their desks for approval. They are important documents. In many ways this third and most likely possibility is the most chilling. It shows just how little the mining and planning ministers are in control of their portfolios. And how the departments rule just like Yes Minister. That is why we get so many poor decisions from them especially in rural areas. They are out of touch. No doubt faceless and nameless bureaucrats will be blamed and multiple arses will be kicked in Macquarie \

Tripping down memory lane A popular annual feature of the early Echo was Shred Potomac’s predictions. These are from December 18, 1991.

25 things to worry about in the New Year The stars say it is going to be a doozy. If you stayed awake at night in 1991, wondering if your watchband was the right colour, then 1992 could have some lovely anxieties in store for you. Try these for starters: 1. Men/women could turn out to be illegal aliens and be asked to leave the planet. 2. Scientists could discover passive sitting next to cappuccinos and mobile phones is more harmful than secondary inhalation of cigarette spoke. 3. Byron Shire councillors could hire a Gold Coast firm to build the Big Bagel on a ridgeline. 4. You could be trapped in a telephone booth with the Tactical Response Group just as you’re about to make a threatening phone call to your local RSL. 5. The Pastures Protection Street but we can be absolutely sure that no minister will lose their job despite delivering this crushing blow to the National Party just eight weeks out from an election. After all, they are born to rule. Tony Gilding Knockrow

Applying Sharia My thanks to Subhi Awad for reading and responding to one of my letters (Letters, May 12).

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm While Australia’s Open Olympic team looks familiar, there are two new faces in our women’s team headed for Baku in September. Heather Richards (pictured), available to play for Australia for the first time despite living here for a decade, makes her debut on board one thanks to an outstanding result at Canberra’s Doeberl Cup. Richards, 33, was one of England’s top juniors before completing her tertiary education in Australia at the University of Newcastle and deciding to stay for good. After her career best result in Canberra in March her place at the top of Australia’s Olympic team was assured but Richards may have to work hard to keep that position, as Chinese Woman Grandmaster Zhang Jilin last month emigrated to Australia, using a rare visa category which recognised her chess skills. Zhang will be eligible to play for Australia in time for the Batumi Chess Olympiad in 2018. The other debutante in

Board could decide your pet cat is a noxious animal and smother it under four tonnes of paperwork. 6. You could sit on your crystal. 7. You and your girl/boyfriend could discover an echidna in your condom pantry. 8. You could be trapped in a telephone booth with a festival organiser. 9. You could explain the rites of Pan in loving detail to your new friend only to discover he is a fundamentalist Viking. 10. The Roundhouse could turn out to be an alien spaceship which has been transmitting mediocrity rays into the atmosphere for the last 20 years. 11. You could suddenly remember you forgot Christmas. 12. The Echo could turn out to be a front for the Call To Australia Party. 13. The Northern Star could turn out to be a front for a baked beans manufacturer. 14. You could be trapped

in a telephone booth with an amorous 40-kilo cane toad. 15. Your mother could reveal you’re the love child of her affair with Andy Warhol. 16. You could wake up on the Gold Coast. 17. You could discover that tantric sex has ruined your appreciation of chocolate. 18. You could be trapped in a telephone booth with a journalist. 19. The Council ranger could bust you for sniffing lines of sand at Broken Head. 20. Dolphins could turn out to be extraterrestrial pack rapists. 21. You could go to a trivia night and find out there is no category on Lithuanian speed clogs. 22. You could live in Mullumbimby all your life without realising there is a tunnel to Atlantis under Burringbar Street. 23. The United Nations could declare your birthday International Wimp Day. 24. You could start liking daytime television. 25. You could be trapped in a telephone booth.

Unfortunately Subhi has strayed somewhat, suggesting I should be writing about corruption, mega-development, and CSG. Regular readers will be aware that I absolutely do, perhaps ad nauseam. Ask the mayor! I berate the poor bastard every other week. Subhi seems to be upset about my letter pointing out the public agenda of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, which has called for Sharia to be selectively

applied, on the basis of ethnicity, religion, and gender. One might suspect Subhi’s reaction is that of a supporter of… who knows who? Subhi, do you believe we should be equal before the law? It’s a fundamental principle people sacrificed their lives for, through centuries of struggle, and a task not yet complete. How do you feel about Sharia? Matt Hartley Byron Bay

ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH AN ADULT LOVED ONE’S ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUG USE?

Australia’s 2016 team is also a Queenslander, Alex Jule, 26. Jule was in the first wave of juniors who came through the legendary Gold Coast Worongary Primary School, which at its peak more than a decade ago could boast a school chess club of 450 members. In early 2015 Jule became the first female to win the New Zealand Championship title – her eligibility determined by her birth there – and solid results after that were enough to ensure an Olympic debut in 2016. 2016 Olympiad Teams

Anne Leigh trained as a mediator, counsellor, alcohol-and-other-drug (AOD) therapist and educator, and has been helping families confronted by problematic drug use since the 1990s. ”I know what it’s like when you’re trying to manage someone else’s drug-taking. Whether it’s alcohol or illegal drugs, the stress on family members is constant and it can corrode the relationships between other family members too; family occasions become something everyone dreads.

Articles

Are you a libertarian? What does it mean these days? Phillip Frazer

Libertarianism is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek individual freedom of choice, emphasising political freedom, and voluntary association – edited from Wikipedia Sounds pretty good eh? Note the key concepts: liberty, choice, freedom, voluntary, and individual. These notions entered the mainstream (in Europe and the US) only recently, in the late 1700s, when scientific discoveries allowed us to grasp that everything – the universe, our existence – could be understood through rational thought and experimental practice. What this ‘enlightenment’ meant was that we had no further need of gods or other mysterious and inscrutable forces to tell us what to do or how to do it. We could, among other things, rule ourselves. Since then there has been unending debate and violent disagreement (eg wars) about exactly how we might rule ourselves – split between

the principle of every person for themselves versus everyone has a responsibility to everyone else, also visiting all points between. Libertarianism has been the big tent for people who reckon individual freedom trumps (that word will never be the same) group welfare, with major cross-rifts around gender – including women and people outside the maleor-female box – and ‘race’ or cultural differences. Ownership has also caused a fundamental division, between those who believe natural resources can be claimed and owned by whoever got there first versus believers in common ownership of everything now and forever… and again, the many options in between. As things stand today, libertarianism in the USA tends to mean private ownership and exploitation free of government interference, which is why most American libertarians are rich white guys like David Koch, the $43 billion heir who funds Republican politicians so long as they sign up to his program of dismantling regulations on his businesses, such as allowing

oil and gas mining without safety laws or environmental controls. Koch was the Libertarian Party candidate for vice-president in 1980. (The Koch brothers refuse to fund Trump because they, correctly, see him as an authoritarian.)

The Push In our own fair country, libertarianism got a grip in the 1900s in a community of artists and Sydney Uni students who drank at the same pubs and were known as The Push. Famous members included Germaine Greer, Clive James, Robert Hughes, Frank Moorhouse and Lillian Roxon, all of whom shared this charming notion of libertarianism: a rejection of the rationality or finality of history (eg Marx’s ‘historical inevitability’) and the proposition that anarchic protest against those in power, not the capture of power, is at the core of freedom. On the philosophical or political level, I believe all these people, from the enlightenment folks through Emma Goldman to The Push and the Koch brothers, have been overtaken by the facts of life. Over the past 50 years we have come to understand that

we don’t live on a blank slate upon which we may write whatever destiny we wish for ourselves. We exist as a species, one of millions, on a planet, one of trillions, which requires us, as a species, to do certain things such as not poisoning air and water, or not blowing things up on a global scale, and not transforming animal and plant life so drastically as to make the planet unlivable for ourselves and most other species. All that assumes, of course, that we as a species agree that preserving our species is a common goal. (I know people who say the universe will be better off if/when our species is flushed down the dunny of history.) This new science of ecosystems changes everything. ‘Freedom’ raises questions like, do I have the freedom to plant genetically modified seeds – in the earth or in the wombs of animals including humans? Am I at ‘liberty’ to belch billions of tonnes of CO2 or acid rain into the air because I have a right to pursue profit without nannies getting in my way? All those old-time religions (that still inspire mass

6 Lawson St Byron Bay NSW 2481 Call (02) 6685 6040 or book online nationaldentalcare.com.au Preferred Provider

murder by the hour) provided us with fundamentals about what life is, and thus, how to live it. People like some rules and limits, which is one reason they embraced religions, and now we have limits that are based in reality – the laws of the universe and earthly eco-systems that we disobey or ignore at our peril.

Rand’s system A diehard libertarian might say that’s not my problem, I’ll decide what I wanna do and I’ll do it. (This was Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand’s ‘integrated philosophical system’, and even though many libertarians reckon she’s the ant’s pants, she hated libertarianism for its focus on politics. She lived out her old age with the support of medicare and social security payments.) Today, the libertarians most mentioned in our local media are Liberal Democratic Party members, led by crossbench senator David Leyonhjelm, and the Centre for Independent Studies and the Institute of Public Affairs think tanks. All these guys (and they are overwhelmingly blokes) have adopted

the American pro-business line, railing against the ‘nanny state’, evil unions, Greens who put trees before people, and wimps who want us all to get along. Neither the Australian nor the American parties have much of a following. Leyonhjelm is likely to be voted out under the new electoral rules, and the US party’s biggest bragging right is that it has a spot for its own presidential candidate (Gary Johnson, exgovernor of New Mexico) in every state. Gary might get more votes than any previous libertarian, because he’s not Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and if he gets a new haircut. Libertarianism, a preplanetarist ideology, might seduce you with its rejection of top-hat capitalists, fistwaving socialists, and nannies of all sorts – but do understand that the ‘will’ your are free to exercise is constrained by the planet, unless of course you freely choose to go live on another one. Q Phillip

Frazer writes from coorabellridge.com and believes that good nannies are a good thing.

BLENDED FAMILIES AND WILL MAKING A common issue that arises when making a Will are: 1. how to leave your estate to your spouse and prevent children or step-children from making a claim on your estate; and 2. how to leave your estate (predominantly to your spouse) while ensuring your children beneďŹ t on the death of your spouse. Itâ€™s been years since the attitude of, â€˜itâ€™s my stuff, I can leave it to whomever I likeâ€™ has been acceptable. The duty to â€˜adequatelyâ€™ provide for your beneďŹ ciaries must be given very careful consideration if you want to minimise the risk of a Family Provision Claim against your estate. Leaving children a â€˜token amountâ€™ does not prevent them from making a claim on your estate. Sometimes this can be like â€˜waving a red ďŹ‚agâ€™ in front of a bull. Family Provision Claims can be expensive, stressful, antagonistic and disappointing; and costs are often borne by the estate. Do you need to review your current Will?

The Good Life Food Wine Travel With a view like this, pigs should fly Vivienne Pearson It’s a view fit for pigs, even if they don’t appreciate it. With a sweeping vista down the hills and across to Cape Byron, Byron Bay Pork has one of the best views in the Shire. The pigs also probably don’t appreciate the fact that they are award winners. The trophy room of owner, John Singh, is well filled, even though he stopped entering his pigs into shows after consecutive wins. Last year his pork took out third place in the Best Australian Pork Awards. John is a third-generation local farmer. His grandfather first arrived from India in the 1890s and, in the 1930s, John’s father started selling vegetables via horse and cart. As John grew up, he and his brothers gained experience on the family farm. Now the family land is divided among three brothers: one with cattle, one with bananas, and John with pigs. The tradition continues into the fourth generation, with John’s sons having started their own piggery. Since the early 2000s, John has concentrated on Berkshire pigs, with a few Duroc also for cross-breeding. It is the pregnant sows and piglets that stay at the farm with the view. ‘It’s good to have them near the house, where we can keep a close eye on them,’ says John. The other pigs are at John’s Tenterfield farm. John attributes the high esteem his pork is held in to the Berkshire breed, as well as their carefully selected grain diet. ‘The meat is more slowly grown and therefore has a different eating quality,’ John says, adding, ‘it is marbled meat, like Wagyu beef, so doesn’t dry out during cooking.’ Locally, you can buy at the pork at John’s Byron Bay Pork &

Cooking school at Harvest The Real Food Cooking School, based in Redfern, will now be holding weekly classes in Harvest Café’s 107-year-old bakery. Putting the spotlight on the best artisans, farmers and chefs in the region, the classes will be teaching students how to cook from scratch using local, seasonal and native ingredients. The first classes include jam, pickles, fermenting, barbecue 101, stock and broths, cocktail essentials (think DIY tonic water, bitters and shrubs) and good old sausages.

‘The Real Food Cooking School shows people simple ways we can change the way we cook, shop and think about food. Giving people the knowledge of where their food comes from and the skills to make amazing and nutritious meals from scratch is one of the best ways we can fix our broken food system,’ said Kate Walsh of the school. Alongside Kate, the Harvest chefs, baristas and cocktail masters will be getting out of the kitchen and in front of students to showcase their passion and skills. On-staff forager at Harvest, Peter Hardwick, will also be helping source unusual native ingredients for as many classes as possible.

Photo Jeff Dawson Meats butcher shop in Mullumbimby. In addition, the butcher stocks John’s lamb and goat meat, both grown at the Tenterfield farm. John estimates that around 60 per cent of the meat sold at the butcher’s is from his farms, with other meats sourced from as locally as possible. The range includes gluten-free sausages, rissoles and crumb coatings. You can also buy Byron Bay pork as part of a trip to a farmers market – either Byron Bay or Mullumbimby. Like many stallholder farmers, John really enjoys getting to know his local customers. Along with not appreciating the view or awards, the pigs certainly don’t care about publicity. They didn’t give me a passing glance, and John reports that it was business as usual during filming for Channel 10’s The Living Room. The segment is to be screened later this year and I’m sure the view will captivate everyone… except for the stars of the show. Q Find Byron Bay Pork at their butcher shop (70 Dalley Street, Mullumbimby, open 7–5 Mon-Fri and 8–12 Sat) and at the Byron Bay Farmers Market (each Thursday 8–11am, Butler Street Reserve). ‘I’m so excited to be working with team at Harvest – a restaurant and community who also has the same passion for local, seasonal and ethical produce and a commitment to feeding people delicious food,’ said Walsh.

Degustation at Ballina RSL

7 night harvest

If you think that’s an offer too good to be true, unfortunately you are correct. If you noticed that very small line of text in the Good Taste advertisement for the upmarket Restaurant @ Rae’s last week, and called them, you weren’t alone. Rae’s said that they were ‘inundated’ with people wanting to take up the offer, which came about solely as a result of an error within The Echo, for which we not only apologise to Rae’s, but also to the very disappointed punters of the Shire. Having spent last Sunday at Wategos Beach myself, in absolutely stunning weather, all I can say is save up your pennies (or $10 notes) for a special occasion; it’s a wonderful view from the lunch deck there. This Sunday for example, is their special ‘long lunch’ with Luke and Sebastian playing. It’s a very special time in a special location, but Rae’s is open seven days for lunch and dinner so if you want to feel special every day, you can.

Newrybar is a lovely place to have weekday breakfast at the Harvest Deli (next to the cafe) from 8am weekdays (takeaway coffee from Harvest Deli from 7am, seven days). The cafe itself is doing the weekend breakfast: Saturday and Sunday from 8am, with lunch seven days from 12pm. At night, try the Harvest Happy Hour seven nights 4–6pm, with dinner seven nights from 6pm.

The degustation evening at Ballina RSL is one of their most popular dining experiences, with guests enjoying six courses by chef Blake Seymour plus live music and a welcome drink, with the option of adding matching wines. The next dinner is 27 May from 6pm: book on 6686 2544.

Davidson’s Plum There are a number of species of Davidson’s Plum around. It’s a native rainforest plum, with Davidsonia jerseyana (otherwise known as Mullumbimby Plum) and Davidsonia johnsonii being particularly special because they are local bushfoods of our region that are classified as endangered in the wild. Davidsonia puriens is the third species, otherwise known as the Queensland Davidson’s plum. A fourth and highly edible species grows in chocolate, in a companion planting with caramelised ginger, and can be gathered in relative safety from the Puremelt Chocolate Lounge in Mullumbimby at the moment. They make all their chocolates in house. You can watch through the window the chocolate being made if you get your timing right, and they’ll even give you a box to take home your harvest in.

New Farmers The northern rivers needs more innovative farmers, but as farmer and food activist Joel Orchard says (Echo 6 April) access to land is the most pressing need for those who will not one day inherit a farm. A recent call by The Farm for groups interested in being given the use of a half-acre plot of land and expert backup at the high-profile location has seen a new crop of farmers visible to the passing traffic on Ewingsdale Road. The high startup costs of providing hand-tools, wheelbarrows, machinery, coolroom storage, sheds and irrigation have also been met by The Farm, whose generosity in providing all this overcomes what is a real barrier to entry to gaining skills in farming. One group of these ‘new farmers’ is four avid foodies who believe in paddock-to-plate, organic, regenerative and ecological farming methods and ethics. Thomas Dutton has been caretaker of a 10-acre banana farm and has ten years’ hospitality experience; Mark runs a property-maintenance business and has a hospitality background; Luke has been working for several retail fruit and vegetable outlets and has sales and market know-how; and Grant has just moved to Byron after four years running a successful cafe in Canberra. Together they hope to learn the fine art of market gardening at what they call their ‘passion plot’, together with The Farm and Three Blue Ducks.

FROM DYLAN TO COHEN –THE MUSIC OF BARB JUNGR

LIVE MUSIC...P32 | CULTURE...P34 | CINEMA...P35 | GIG GUIDE...P36

BARB JUNGR IS SOMETHING E L S E : F U N N Y, I N S P I R E D , B R I L L I A N T, M E S M E R I S I N G . S H E TA K E S T H E S O N G S YO U KNOW AND TURNS THEM I N S I D E O U T A N D M A K E S YO U LOVE THEM ALL OVER.

She comes to Byron for a very special show at the Community Centre on 4 June. This is the first instalment of her two-part interview. Don’t miss her.

What more do you think you bring to the table when you step into these works – does re-interpreting contemporise them in some way? Or are the themes timeless?

What is it about the songs of such distinctive artists such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen that attracts you to re-imagining them?

Well I think you are spot on. I wish they were not timeless. I wish we weren’t still killing people and hating and warmongering and treating some people as different from others and killing and maiming in the name of what exactly? I wish that were not the case. So I think the songs represent the human condition, our ultimate tragedy of seemingly being unable to learn from our own historic mistakes. And what I think I bring to the table is being a woman and singing them, which immediately lends the ear a different sense of the song. So when I do them people come up – they did it just two days ago here in Lytham, a queue of guys who said: ‘I thought I knew these songs and it was like I heard them new’. That’s what I hope to do and want to do.

It’s the sheer majesty, brilliance and laser-like precision in their analysis of the human condition. They both look at something – war, life, death – and see it in full colour and from every angle, and then they respond so poetically to that that it’s mind blowing. Singing the songs is like a learning; it’s like being connected to a font of wisdom; it’s transformative and energising. To me Dylan is the American Shakespeare, and Cohen is a kind of alchemist of the emotions. How do you approach a classic such as Blowin’ in the Wind? Oh lordie lord, that one was such a journey! It took ages. We messed about and messed about and I was adamant that I wanted it in – obviously, cos there was no way I could leave that out, no way! And it was tricky, like a naughty child; it just wouldn’t bend where you wanted it to. And I was in despair with it. I was ready to kick it out the window. Then I was walking home, onto my estate in Pimlico, and it was a beautiful spring dusk, and the moon was coming up in a darkening sky, and I was walking and singing to myself and I found the riff and spun it around the lyric and I got my voice notes out and sang it into the phone to make sure I had it and got home and sent it to Simon, with whom I worked on the arrangements and who produced the album. He and I went at it again the next morning and boom, when bam, thank you ma’am, we had it. It slipped into the bag like a jelly.

You studied Botany… and after some encouragement found your way into music. Why was that, do you think? Did it seem unrealistic to consider a career or were you passionate about plant science? Neither actually. I came from a time and place where to study music meant being an opera singer or violinist. I did study violin to quite a high level, and was clearly musical, but pop and soul and folk and jazz and blues stole me away and I formed groups and sang through school and into university. I went to do Botany because I love the outdoors and trees and lifeforce and nature. I didn’t quite realise just how scientific it would be and was pretty surprised when I did well with it. But I left to move to London and fell straightaway into music again, and music had always had its grip on my heart and has never let it go. I love forests and trees

and walking and I grow plants and they go wild, so I guess it’s my love and passion but music is my flesh and blood. I go to sleep and whatever I’m working on spins around and around my head and as I write these answers I’m listening to my Great Tracks playlist and it’s the B52s right now and they’re blowing my mind. I love in your bio that you talk about understanding competition by being part of a convent netball team! Tell me, just what does it teach you? Oh our convent was incredible. We were part of the Catholic League of hockey and netball and, honestly, winning was everything. There was none of this modern ‘it’s the game and not the result’. We did everything to win. We were killers! We went in with our sticks – hockey, at the legs of anything that moved and stood in our way – and in netball we were like Mad Max! I was wing defence and I recall our playing Loretta College and they were tough, man, they were tough! But I stuck to their attack – whose name was Basher! And we were even at the end. I used to go home covered in bruises like I’d done five rounds with Mike Tyson! What are the passions that drive you? I don’t know. I think maybe I don’t want to know. I’ve done all the usual talking therapies, and in my now-extraordinarily long life because I feel about 200 this morning on the day before my birthday, I think I’ve been so lucky. I had my ecofeminist warrior period, and my people dying being in therapy period, and my mad wild period, and it all feels like segments of an orange or pips in a pomegranate. I love people. I love stories, I always did. I love music and walking and conversation and politics and life.

SOAPBOX S E E M O R E O F M A N DY O N E C H O N E T DA A I LY W W W. E C H O. N E T. A U /S OA P - B OX

I used to hate going to bed. When I was a child I was convinced that the time when I was sleeping was when all the interesting stuff happened. Thatâ€™s why adults wanted children to go to bed. So they could do the good stuff. I got this idea one night when I snuck out of bed and hid behind the couch while my mum was watching The Box, the 1970s Aussie drama about a TV station. It was basically an early version of freeto-air porn. In black and white. It was so much more interesting than The Mike Walsh Show. I would have been six or seven. I was hooked. Iâ€™d never seen anything like it. One of the ladies looked like someone Iâ€™d seen on Play School. Another bloke looked a bit like Big Ted. There was a lot of action in the nude. Mums and dads in the nude. A lot of them in bed like I was supposed to be.

Ironic that Mum would be up watching a show about people who were going to bed. It seemed strange that they were supposed to be in bed too but none of them appeared to be sleeping. They were doing a lot of jiggling. Bouncing up and down. When I did that on the bed I got into trouble. But apparently it was okay if you were in the nude and had a friend over. The Box was all big boobs and afros and moustaches. (And that was just the women.) So that was what my mum was doing when I was asleep. Watching The Box. I thought she was doing the dishes. Or praying to Baby Jesus. No. She was gripping her cup of tea in the dark, even more enthralled than I. Thatâ€™s clearly what adults did when kids went to bed. They watched The Box.

THE BOX, THE BUM, AND THE PATH TO KNOWLEDGE I liked it. I decided that from now on I would be staying up with Mum and watching The Box. It made me feel like an adult. Like Iâ€™d had a glimpse of a secret world. Kissing looked funny. Not like Iâ€™d ever been kissed. People were squishing their faces into each other and tilting their heads from side to side. Instead of tightly pursed lips pecking a cheek or another set of tightly pursed lips, they were wide open. Maybe they were sharing food. Or licking each otherâ€™s teeth. I remember thinking I would try kissing someone like that. Then I saw a bum. An actual hairy man bum. It took up the

whole screen. It was soo funny. I gasped and then fell on the floor laughing. â€˜Thatâ€™s a bum! Thereâ€™s a bum on TV!â€™ Mum shat herself. She screamed and launched her tea into orbit, coming down in a quiet thud on the shag. I think she was pretty well aware that it was a bum. I actually think she was quite enjoying watching it. Oh no. Mum is angry. â€˜What did you see?â€™ I didnâ€™t really know what Iâ€™d seen. But it was very interesting. Instinctively I knew that I should lie. â€˜I just saw a bum, Mum. I had a bad dream and then I saw the bum.â€™ I can still remember that fuzzed man bum. I sometimes wonder if it was my

CAT POWER â€“ AT THE STAR COURT THEATRE IN LISMORE ON THURSDAY

A special commemorative Uke Night will be held in honour of Fiona Knight, who died earlier this month after a long battle with cancer. Fiona was an early member of the Uke crew and is fondly remembered when she donned an afro wig and sang at the soul Motown Disco Uke Night back in

2014. There was no service, as Fi wished for her body to be donated for research. She has touched the lives of many people who need to remember her and say goodbye together. So grab your uke, and come to Club Mullum in The Ex-Services Club at the usual time, from 6.30pm. A bucket for non-compulsory donations will be left on the door to help cover costs and musicians. Thursday at the Mullum Ex-Services. Â

VALE THE GOOD KNIGHT

I had the whole of Year 2 captivated with my bum story. I had just done my first successful five minutes of standup, and I nailed it. I had to sit in all lunch time and say the rosary ten times. That was after Sister Rita hit me on my bum three times friend Tony Barryâ€™s bum, but Iâ€™m with the cane. I didnâ€™t care. I was on too embarrassed to ask. the path to knowledge. I could feel Mum made me go back to bed. But it in my bones. Actually, after the caning I could feel it in my bum. I couldnâ€™t sleep. All I could think of was watching The Box. And seeing That night I went for a bums. Mum was in the lounge straightforward approach. After room watching bums. I fell asleep dinner, when I brushed my teeth laughing. From that moment on all I asked Mum straight up. â€˜Can I I wanted to do was watch The Box. watch The Box?â€™ No. â€˜Can I watch It even featured in my â€˜Morning The Box?â€™ No. Then I started Newsâ€™ presentation at St Josephâ€™s screaming. And crying. And the following day. stamping my feet. I realised if I threw a tantrum while The Box I told them I had seen a bum. Not was on that Mum couldnâ€™t enjoy on the toilet. Not in the mirror.

Client Liaison have just released the video for their current singleÂ World Of Our Love. The video was produced, directedÂ and animated byÂ Melbourne-based creative houseÂ Oh Yeah Wow. Speaking about the new video,Â directors Mike Greaney and Aaron McDonaldÂ said:Â â€˜The clip is an exploration of an animated tropical paradise that stands as the personification of Client Liaisonâ€™s World Of Our Love. Itâ€™s an absurdist pastiche of cultist and Australiana iconography, retrofuture architecture, and exotic wild animals. We packaged these ideas up in a visual style that was heavily inspired by late-80s Masters of the Universe cartoons and then basically just had a blast coming up with the most outrageous ideas we could think of within that framework.â€™ With shareholder confidence at an all-time high and strong yield from the Groovinâ€™ The Moo Festival dates, Client Liaison embark on their national tour with a show at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

SO MUCH MOJO F O R M I D A B L E . E N I G M AT I C . GENRE-DEFYING. FRAGILE . B A L L S Y. A M B I G U O U S . R AW.

Mojo Juju has been called many things and yet she is forever hard to define. By her own explanation, Mojo has never felt comfortable with being categorised and is increasingly deliberate in avoiding labels and defying genres. As a result, it is only in experiencing her live shows that one can begin to understand the full breadth of this dynamic artist. How would you describe your approach to music? I guess I would have to describe it as experimental… in a very personal way because my approach changes all the time. I’m always trying to create something different every time I walk into the studio. Partly because I like the challenge, but also because I’m never entirely satisfied with what I’ve done. I’m always learning. That’s probably the best approach. What are perfect gig conditions for you? I like performing lots of different types of shows. I think as long as the sound/production is good, I’m up for any live situation. Ha ha. Can you describe the connection you have onstage with your brother? Does having that musical relationship take you places that surprise you? My brother and I have always had a strong connection. We are great friends. We also both have, I guess you’d call it a mild psychic connection. Ha ha ha. Some people just call it spooky.

It’s definitely very comfortable and very enjoyable. But maybe we’re too much alike to surprise one another. I think maybe we surprise ourselves more so.

thinking I know exactly what I want, but inevitably there are a few twists and turns. That’s part of working with other people.

something to prove. I think I was frustrated and annoyed because I felt like I was being pigeonholed as an artist.

If you could teleport to another era, at a gig in any time, where would you be?

What did you set out to all really good at what they do achieve when you recorded? and I want their input. So yeah, sometimes it evolves, but that’s I had a lot to get off my chest at the time. And maybe a little bit of part of what makes it exciting.

This also changes a lot. In the past I would’ve always said the jazz age. The 20s / 30s. But you know, to be honest right now I’m pretty happy where I am. And there is some incredible ground-breaking music happening right now in the I’m just someone who loves music world, and in particular Australia. and loves making music. The last Australian music is really blowing thing I ever wanna do is make the my mind right now. same record twice. What do you want to bring to the stage in a Mojo Juju gig? So I had to take a bit of a leap. It might’ve shocked some people, Realness. It’s got to be but I think that’s a good thing. entertaining. I like a bit of the A lot of people assume they know what you do without even listening to your music. Also, people wanna put labels on everything. I guess creatively I don’t see myself as a ‘genre’ artist.

How did you feel about the resolution from concept to album? I’m proud of the record we made. It’s not exactly what I thought it would be. In hindsight I wish I’d pushed it harder and further in some directions. But I’m really happy with it. It was a learning process that I got a lot out of. But as is the curse with most musicians I know, I’m already thinking about the next record.

How do you approach recording – do you have a firm idea about what you want Travelling together is the easiest. It also helps onstage. We at the start or does it evolve along the way? intuit one another very easily. I don’t know if it surprising. Both! Ha ha ha. I always walk in

ARIES: Mars represents forward drive. Its retrograde

As the celestial choreography of one-stepforward, twosteps-back continues, this week’s Venus sweetener reconnects us with a few of our favourite things. And people…

TAURUS: Mercury retrograde highlights the necessity of checking that others are on the same page as you, and making sure you’re on their wavelength. Looking for common ground in whatever conversation’s on the table will smooth the way through this week’s stubborn sticking points. Most flattering attitude? Flexible and negotiable.

GEMINI: This week’s edgy conditions benefit from an internal fact-finding mission, and some honest soul searching. Answers may be elusive, but don’t rush for quick-fix solutions – think things through. The squeeze starts to ease once late-week sun shines its light into Gemini for your happy birthday month.

CANCER: Another week of communication snafus? The probability’s high, and your expectations of cooperation and harmony may not be met – yet. Improvements begin when late-week sun hits your twelfth house of rest and renewal. Until then, a quick getaway, a chillout day off, even just some refreshing private time out’s recommended.

WIN A PRIZE WITH POLITICS IS A JOKE!

Take the night off

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s absolutely fabulous for organising how to revamp certain interpersonal communications. Something you thought was sorted could come up again for discussion during midweek’s cordial, conversational moon. And while you like everything up front and out in the open, late week’s moody moon needs a tread-carefully approach.

CAPRICORN: Could other people’s lack of precision planning get your Capricorn goat this week? It could. And should there be stubborn resistance to your superior way of thinking, then it’s far smarter to cease and desist pushing yourself and just do lunch. Cruise and schmooze. Let circumstances sort themselves without you.

LEO: If this week’s backing track starts sounding like Leo Mick Jagger singing I Can’t Get No Satisfaction and you try and try but mistakes and misunderstandings still happen, don’t be hard on yourself or others. You’ll soon have another chance. New opportunities are brewing and next week some satisfaction’s finally guaranteed.

VIRGO: All that undone stuff you haven’t got round to? This week’s astrologically appropriate for tying off those dangling threads in life’s rich tapestry. But be advised that even the mildest, most well-intentioned feedback may be perceived as vicious criticism, so it mightn’t be wise to offer unsolicited advice.

SCORPIO: Feeling the need of an attitude adjustment, but not sure where to start? This week offers a few valuable clues to making late-week Scorpio moon’s superjuice flow warmly rather than leaving scorch marks. A wise person knows many things, while a successful person knows many people – and keeps them on side.

The film will screen at the Mullumbimby Drill Hall at 7pm with the filmmakers present for a Q&A after. Tickets available from www.screenworks.com.au.

AQUARIUS: Finding other people’s behaviour baffling? Exasperating? Intriguing? They’re probably feeling much the same way about you. Expect a change when late-week Sun’s entry into a fellow air sign lightens the retrograde flavour of recent weeks, stimulates your social interest, piques your professional appetite and renews your playful nature.

PISCES: In the current cycle of getting to know yourself better, this week will repay with interest a reflective inspection of the interior landscape (your own motivations) and outer environment (other people’s responses). It’s worthwhile checking financial details too: during retrogrades, mistakes are easy to make and errors can be expensive.

LAST TANGO IN BUENOS AIRES In Buenos Aires in the 1940s, she was the most beautiful girl in the neighbourhood. He could not dance at all. But they had a dream and together they changed the history of tango. Our Last Tango, a feature documentary executive produced by Wim Wenders (Pina, Buena Vista Social Club), is a story of love – between the two most celebrated dancers in tango’s history, and their tremendous love for that most passionate dance form. Maria Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes met when they were 14 and 17, and danced together for nearly fifty years. In all those years they loved and hated each other and went through several painful separations, but remained partners in dance. No other man danced like Juan and no other woman danced like Maria! Now, Maria (80) and Juan (83) open up about their love, their hatred, and their passion. Our Last Tango bridges the gap between generations, as Juan and Maria tell their story to a group of young tango dancers and choreographers from Buenos Aires. Our Last Tango screens on Friday 27 May at Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Tickets $15/$13 available at Mullumbimby Bookshop and Mary Ryan’s Byron Bay, or through travellingflicks@gmail. com. Doors open at 6.30pm for chai and cakes, with a live social tango demonstration from local dancers at 7pm before the film screens at 7.30pm.

BROKE THE WORK OF

SARAH DALY Zakay Glass Creations, a Bangalow gallery specialising in handmade contemporary glass sculpture and luminary lighting, is celebrating their first artist exhibition of the year featuring Brisbane-based painter Sarah Daly. What training have you done in your career as an artist? Learning the trade of an artist has been a 20-year effort. I started as a teenager, when a group of us would go to life drawing classes at the Queensland College of Art after school. Coming back to a girls school with a folio full of nudes of all shapes and sizes raised some eyebrows, but it got me into college. I studied fine arts at QCA, then art history at the University of Queensland. After moving to London in my late 20s, I took on drawing and ceramics at the Chelsea School of Art and Design. When one tutor compared my style of drawing to Rodin’s watercolours, I hopped on the train to Paris to see what he meant for myself. That was a very good day indeed! Back in Brisbane a few years ago, I went to a brilliant little studio called Atelier, where they teach the classical style of drawing and painting. Now I’m developing skills in my own studio, and am experimenting with textile design. May the learning continue! What inspires you? My first inspiration when I start a painting is ‘who is this for?’ I imagine the space it will exist in, who will enjoy it, and then overlay any subjects or techniques that I’m working on at the moment. One of my favourite recent paintings was for a couple in Barcelona who have just renovated an apartment in the old Gothic Quarter. Such romance. Such high ceilings! They wanted something that would reflect the city, but was not at all traditional. I designed an abstract map after I had spent some time walking around the city myself. The colours, the pattering language, the cool rock walls, even a woman’s red lipstick was on my mind as I painted for them. How would you describe your art? Things that are common in all of my work. Texture is important. The feel of the paint, the materials I use. The sound of crisp linen canvas. Balance in design. I love using layers that become more as you look into them. I have a respect for technique in making art; quality is fundamental, and can be overlooked in favour of the idea. What I actually produce can become very different depending on who it is for. I make large abstract pieces, full of colour, for interior designers who want to add complexity to the spaces they bring together. Landscapes can bring people closer to a home they remember. Clouds help others to calm at the end of a long day. Tell us about this exhibition.

The first time I walked into Zakay Gallery, I was filled with a sense of beauty, light and openness. I wanted to make paintings that would echo that feeling, and that people could take off the walls and into their own homes. After talking with the gallery team, I was given carte blanche to be as diverse as I like with my subjects and play with a wonderful range of imagery. There will be everything from abstracts, to landscapes, to figurative work.

Denied the humungous budgets that Hollywood regularly squanders on smoke and mirrors and other juvenilia, local filmmakers need to work with cinema’s essential building blocks of story and character. For audiences seeking something that reflects the real world, something they might relate to, the rewards of going ‘off Broadway’ can be infinitely more satisfying than mainstream’s earsplitting blockbuster. Heath Davis has treated with sympathy and insight the travails of a brokendown former rugby league star in his hugely impressive directorial debut. Ben Kelly (Steve Le Marquand) is a former champion who is now on his uppers. Having left the game in which he had attained a hero’s status, gambling and the grog have got the better of him and it is only the high regard of an old fan who won’t give up on him that keeps Ben out of the gutter. Cec (Max Cullen) takes him into his home and, with his daughter Terri (Claire van der Boom), Ben starts the long journey that leads to self-realisation and redemption. But Davis does not let himself be sidetracked by the cheesy option of portraying Ben as just another bloke who has done wrong despite his essential heart of gold – life is never as cut and dried as that. Addiction does not allow for sentimentality, so Ben’s struggle will not come without collateral damage. Cinematographer Chris Bland has beautifully captured the old-school toughness of Gladstone and a stellar cast of Australian actors do justice to Davis’s at times confronting but always heartfelt screenplay. Le Marquand is outstanding – he looks the part, which is half the battle – as is van der Boom – the sexual tension that grows between Ben and Teri is a slow burn. As a footy tragic (go the Bunnies), it was fun to see Mark Graham running around again, although I did have a bit of trouble accepting the North Sydney Bears as a Queensland side, but that’s neither here nor there. Screening at Ballina on the 23rd; check it out – it is a terrific movie.

cinema Reviews BY JOHN CAMPBELL

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

The title is an obvious reference to the ubiquitous shorthand of ‘WTF’ and there are moments when that expression is applicable to the movie’s erratic structure. Set in Afghanistan in 2004–6 (the highly convincing location shots were filmed in Morocco), it follows the activities of New York TV journalist Kim Baker (Tina Fey) after she has been sent on assignment to Kabul. Concerned primarily with how armed conflict in an alien environment impacts on those who report on it, directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa make only passing comment on the war itself – one marine is given the chilling line of ‘hearts and minds, the best places to shoot people’. And if this is any indication, members of the fourth estate spend as much time boozing and getting high at parties as they do at the front line, a depiction that tends to diminish the story’s serious intent. And there is an episode that almost irreparably shreds to pieces the gritty realism that is so expertly created – a nighttime raid to free a Scottish journo kidnapped by the Taliban is accompanied by Harry Nilsson’s Can’t Live If Living Is Without You. It’s too cute by half and it turns the war into little more than the setting for a YouTube video. For all the times that the movie diminishes itself with indulgences, however, there is an honesty that shines through. The correspondents’ competitive, sometimes blinkered drive to get the headline, regardless of the danger that they might put others in, their addiction to the buzz, and the relationships of carnal gratification that they fall into – it all rings true. Fey’s urbanity does not seem quite right for her character’s rough’n’tumble career – but maybe that’s the point – and Margo Robbie’s vamp is overdone, but it’s great to see Alfred Molina back as the sleazy Afghan politician, while Christopher Abbott as the translator Fahim steals the show – his farewell to Kim at the airport is a scene of overwhelming intimacy. Screening at Tweed City – it’s well worth the drive.

Join Zakay Glass at the opening on Saturday 4 June starting from 6pm. With live music by Josh Arent and Indigo Scarlet Sparke, a solo exhibition by Sarah Daly plus organic wine by Rosnay and nibbles, this will be a night not to be missed!

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

News Extra Archaeologists find world’s oldest axe in WA The University of Western Australia’s Associate Professor Jane Balme is part of an Australian archaeology team involved in the discovery of the world’s oldest-known edge-ground hafted axe from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Associate Professor Balme, Professor Sue O’Connor from The Australian National University, and Professor Peter Hiscock from the University of Sydney have published an article in the journal Australian Archaeology which dates the axe between 46,000 and 49,000 years, which was around the time people first arrived on the continent. Lead archaeologist Professor Sue O’Connor, from ANU’s School of Culture,

History and Language, said it was the earliest evidence of hafted axes in the world. A hafted axe is an axe with a handle attached. ‘Nowhere else in the world do you get axes at this date,’ Professor O’Connor said. ‘In Japan such axes appear about 35,000 years ago. But in most countries in the world they arrived with agriculture after 10,000 years ago.’ The axe fragment was

initially excavated in 1991 by Professor O’Connor at Carpenter’s Gap 1, a large rock shelter in Windjana Gorge National Park in the Kimberley. Professor Hiscock analysed the fragment and found that it was made of basalt that had been shaped and polished by grinding it against a softer rock such as sandstone. ‘We don’t really know exactly what this kind of axe

would have been used for but we can speculate that were used to chop wood perhaps or to obtain honeybag from trees,’ Dr Balme said. ‘What is clear from this object, and from fragments of similar axes recovered from deep in deposits elsewhere in northern Australia, is that edge-ground hafted axes were an important technology for the first people settling in this continent.’ Ass o c i ate Profe ss or Balme, from UWA’s Centre for Rock Art Research, and Management and Professor O’Connor carried out the research as part of their Kimberley-based project ‘Life Ways of the First Australians’ after receiving a government Australian Research Council Linkage grant.

Only seven per cent of the Great Barrier Reef has avoided coral bleaching Final results of extensive aerial and underwater surveys of the Great Barrier Reef reveal that 93 per cent of the reef has been affected. It’s a mixed picture of very severe, moderate and little damage that changes dramatically from north to south along the 2,300km length of the Reef. ‘We’ve never seen anything like this scale of bleaching before. In the northern Great Barrier Reef, it’s like ten cyclones have come ashore all at once,’ said Professor Terry Hughes, convenor of the National Coral Bleaching Taskforce that is documenting and studying the event. ‘Towards the southern end, most of the reefs have minor to moderate bleaching and should soon recover.

‘We have now flown over 911 individual reefs in a helicopter and light plane, to map out the extent and severity of bleaching along the full 2300km length of the Great Barrier Reef. Of all the reefs we surveyed, only seven per cent (68 reefs) have escaped bleaching entirely. At the other end of the spectrum, between 60 and 100 per cent of corals are severely bleached on 316 reefs, nearly all in the northern half of the Reef.’ Underwater, teams of scientific divers have confirmed the accuracy of the aerial surveys, and are continuing to measure the ongoing impact of the bleaching. ‘The bleaching is extreme in the 1,000km region north of Port Douglas all the way up to the northern Torres

Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea,’ said Prof Andrew Baird from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. ‘Tragically, this is the most remote part of the Reef, and its remoteness has protected it from most human pressures, but not climate change. North of Port Douglas, we’re already measuring an average of close to 50 per cent mortality of bleached corals. ‘At some reefs, the final death toll is likely to exceed 90 per cent. When bleaching is this severe it affects almost all coral species, including old, slow-growing corals that once lost will take decades or longer to return.’ The scientists have found that the huge footprints of the three mass bleaching events in 2016, 2002 and 1998

are different. ‘In each case, the location of the most severe bleaching coincides with where the hottest water sits for the longest period,’ said Prof Hughes. ‘This time, the southern third of the Great Barrier Reef was fortunately cooled down late in summer by a period of cloudy weather caused by ex-cyclone Winston, after it passed over Fiji and came to us as a rain depression.

Cities face harsher flooding and rainfall extremes In the latest issue of Geophysical Research Letters, doctoral student Conrad Wasko and Professor Ashish Sharma of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales show the first evidence of storm intensification triggering more destructive storm patterns.

Intensity ‘As warming proceeds, storms are shrinking in space and in time,’ said Wasko, lead author of the paper. ‘They are becoming more concentrated over a smaller area, and the rainfall is coming down more plentifully and with more intensity over a shorter period.

Peak rainfall Wasko and Sharma, working with collaborators at the University of Adelaide, found that atmospheric moisture was more concentrated near the storm’s centre in warm storms than in cooler ones, resulting in more intense peak rainfalls in those areas. Although the data are Australian, they have global implications, said Sharma. ‘Australia is a continent that spans almost all the climate zones in the world.’ Most urban centres have older stormwater infrastructure designed to handle rainfall patterns of the past, which are no longer sufficient. ‘The

increase is especially noticeable in urban centres, where there is less soil, unlike rural areas, to act as a dampener,’ said Sharma. ‘So there is often nowhere else for the water to go, and the drainage capacity is overwhelmed. So the incidence of flooding is going to rise as temperatures go higher.’

rainfall patterns within storms themselves.

Destructive

If both spatial and temporal changes in storms continue, as they are likely to do as the world warms, there will be more destructive flooding across the world’s major urban centres. In their Nature Geoscience paper, the duo calculated that When it comes to flash floods in some parts of Ausflooding, the amount of rain tralia would likely increase that falls over a period is by 40 per cent, especially in much more important than warmer places like Darwin. the total volume of rainfall ‘If you add the spatial pattern that a given storm delivers. from this latest paper, you This study was the first to will probably increase this 40 show that climate change per cent number to maybe 60 was disrupting the temporal per cent,’ said Sharma.

Red Devils break duck at expense of hapless turkeys Story & photo John Campbell

In the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League, there is probably no venue that oozes the very essence of bush footy like Kyogle’s New Park. Surrounded by paddocks and in the shadow of a hazy knob of weary gum trees, it’s not a place of warmth and welcome for a mob of hipsters from trendoid Byron Bay – especially with all of those knuckle-dragging John Jarratts milling around the bar with their stubbies and gravysoaked chips (yes, gravy)… but I love it. When local side the Turkeys (you’d change your name, wouldn’t you?) hosted the Red Devils on Sunday, the ground became the ‘last chance saloon’ for both sides, as neither had collected a point after four rounds of the competition. It might be overstating it to say that our boys are back in the fray but, by registering a convincing 30-20 victory,

Byron’s happy hooker, Tom ‘Deano’ Martin, was in everything but a bath at Kyogle’s New Park on Sunday.

they showed us something we’d hitherto seen scant indication of… they looked like a team. Better than that – if it was a reasonable call to label their first forty of the previous week their worst of the year,

it is only fair to praise them for a first half at Kyogle that was dynamic, focused and a delight to watch. They went to the break leading 24–0, scored soon after the resumption and then, ahead 30–0, put the

cue in its rack. In the last fifteen minutes, encouraged by the Devils nodding off, the Turkeys ran in four tries – there would be no time for Byron to allow defeat to be snatched from the jaws of victory, but it exhibited a lapse

of concentration that coach Graham ‘Easy’ Lees would do well to address. Forgetting the closing stages, though, there were numerous highlights for the Devils’ faithful to savour. Captain, Ryan ‘the Crab’ O’Connell, had assumed a roving centre commission, which suits him eminently well; Brad ‘Bruce’ Lees was wearing the number one jersey again after a lessthan-convincing stint with the pigs, and a new half/ five-eighth combination of ‘Michael’ Jordan Reed and Harry ‘Vanda’ Witt worked smoothly as a fulcrum around which the team might eventually function to optimum capacity. For the first time in yonks, the Devils were completing their sets and, as a reward, a good bounce fell their way. Reed ran on to a sloppy pass to plant the ball under the sticks. He was in again after surging runs from Witt and Joey ‘the General’ Gordon,

and when Lees collected a spilt ball to run 50 metres for another meat pie, you could see Byron’s self-belief grow… and it led to a try for the ages just before half-time. Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer, after bursting into the clear, found numerous hands in support – the game is all about support – and at the end of a gorgeous passing rush, prop Jason ‘Buddy’ Hackett was the man on the spot to plant the ball over the line. Even the one-eyed Turkey supporters had to acknowledge its sweet fluency. The Devils’ mind was not quite on the job in the second forty, especially after Gordon ran a beautiful angle on to a delightfully weighted pass from O’Connell to show scorching speed on his way to the line (must have been all the lollies he ate before kickoff). The Bay thought it was all over red rover… which it wasn’t, quite. But no carping – winners are grinners. Go, the Bay!

Byron Bay Rugby fightback leads to victory Andrew Teuma

Byron Bay Rugby jumped to the top of the Far North Coast Zone ladder on Saturday after an inspiring second-half performance. During the first half Byron showed poor discipline around the breakdown and, with lack of concentration, gifted Pioneers the first points with fullback Sam Kerry slotting a penalty over the post from inside the Byron half. Byron’s forward pack dominated the rucks and mauls, giving the Pioneers trouble in the scrum – Byron’s tight five giving the game a real battle up front. Big performances from Josh Smith and Will Aisake kept the forwards working together. After some quick play from the Pioneers halfway through the first half their backs dummied and, with some pace and skill, saw Kerry go over for the first try of the afternoon. Minutes later the Pioneers were gifted another penalty to extend the lead, which Kerry had no problem converting with the boot giving the Visitors a 0–11 lead at half time. After good inspiration from Craig Wallace and captain Jascha Saeck at half time, the Blue and White went into the first half charging. Great vision from John Laughlin set up Sean Nicholl with a darting

run that put Byron deep into Pioneer territory. The Pioneers showed the pressure mounting on them and conceded a penalty outside their 22. The Bay kicked for touch and opted for the lineout. A great catch by Jack Cooke and strong rolling maul saw Byron go over and start off their revival with Wallace securing the try. Eights minutes later and it was Byron’s forwards on the attack again with some good drives, and excellent support play saw Luke Philip drive and score over the line. Byron Bay’s second-half dominance was starting to show. The last 10 minutes were a rollercoaster for the 300-strong crowd at the Rec Grounds. The Pioneers didn’t give up and quick hands from their backs and attack led by fly half Ben Damen saw them back into Byron Bay’s 22. Byron’s defence held on with some strong standout tackles from Aisake and Cooke. With some quick ball wide the Pioneers surged to the line but Josh Smith put his body on the line for a big tackle, which later the referee deemed unsafe and Smith was sent to the bin for the rest of the game. Byron, down to 14 men, still held their defence but with the overlap the Pioneers’ flyer, Jarrod Wyllie, flew over the line to grant them the lead once more. Pioneers led 16–10

with six minutes to go. The Bay didn’t lose hope and dug in deep in the final minutes with the ball not leaving the Pioneers’ half. Discipline was starting to lack for the visitors. Some forward dominance from Byron saw them receive a penalty outside their five-metre line. Jack Cooke, wasting no time on the quick tap, crashed over the line under the post for Byron’s third try. With pressure on his shoulders, Laughlin coolly kicked the extra two points, giving Byron Bay the lead into the final minute. A quick restart from the Pioneers saw them scramble for the ball and with sheer determination won back possession; Byron were caught offside at the breakdown giving the visitors one last shot at goal. Kerry couldn’t convert from 40 metres out and with that the referee had seen enough and blew the final whistle. ‘We are absolutely thrilled!’ said club president Tim Ahern. ‘‘A great performance from the team and [head coach] Paul Jeffery, but it’s only Round 3 and we still have our work cut out for us.’ Byron Bay Rugby 17 – Wollongbar-Alstonville Pioneers 16.

Back when Backlash began, taking over this page from the entertainment section in the late eighties, the world seemed a different place. It wasnâ€™t, really. The contribution of humankind to the greenhouse effect had been recorded since the 19th century. Eminent scientists issued warnings in the 1960s. Now we are about to reach 400ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and Australiaâ€™s federal election will do nothing to stop it. The minister for destroying the Reef, Greg Hunt, even reckons there is no direct correlation between burning coal and climate change. The NSW government has been pushing CSG in northern NSW to foreign investors while promising locals mines will not go ahead. Go figure. So now it is time to look at the 400ppm mark and have a bit of a think. Or turn to the classifieds pages and look at the garage sales, which is probably less worrying. Peter Hannam, environment editor for SMH, records the imminent event: â€˜Global warming milestone about to be passed and thereâ€™s no going back.â€™ His article (http://bit.ly/smh400) notes: â€˜Within the next couple of weeks, a remote part of north-western Tasmania is likely to grab headlines around the world as a major climate change marker is passed. The aptly named Cape Grim monitoring site jointly run by CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology will witness the first baseline reading of 400 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, researchers predict.â€™ Hannam quotes Greens deputy leader Larissa Waters as saying the Cape Grim result â€˜should act as a global wake-up call and

must shock both Australian big political parties out of their blind coal-obsession which is literally cooking our planet and our Great Barrier Reef â€™. Some chance? The 400ppm milestone was first passed in recorded history in late 2015, according to data from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. At the time Dr Erika Podest, carbon and water cycle research scientist for NASA, noted that â€˜CO2 concentrations havenâ€™t been this high in millions of years. Even more alarming is the rate of increase in the last five decades and the fact that CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds or thousands of years. This milestone is a wake-up call that our actions in response to climate change need to match the persistent rise in CO2. Climate change is a threat to life on Earth and we can no longer afford to be spectators.â€™ Wake-up call? It doesnâ€™t seem so. The Paris accord of December 12, 2015, is too little, too late. It is due to kick in in 2020 and aims to â€˜hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2Â°C above pre-industrial levelsâ€™. Some scientists reckon we could be pushing on towards 3.5Â°C above. CarbonBrief

gives some idea of the consequences: http://bit.ly/carbonbrief2. As the cheesy movie Volcano proclaimed in 1997, the coast will be toast, though very wet toast under metres of sea-level rise. However, the 400ppmand-climbing scenario is not a disaster movie. Backlash is marking this significant bit of history because it is disaster

in the making. The world will be a very different place. The future of the Byron Bubble will depend on how we react to the news. Will we continue to vote for the same old tired parties who have little vision beyond saving their own seats (and bank accounts)? Will we practise sustainable survival right now? The future is here, knocking on the door.
