Rail trail lobby group backflips on promise to work collaboratively Hans Lovejoy

Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) have reneged on plans to co-operate with re-elected mayor Simon Richardson and rail advocate group Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) for a shared multi-modal use of the disused Byron Shire section of the railway. Mayor Richardson convened a public meeting on August 25 between the two opposing parties, with all agreeing to explore the possibility of shared use and a feasibility study. And while the ‘Byron Line’ proposal was presented as an opportunity to work for a common goal, it did not include funding from either government or the private sector. A press release by NRRT now ac-

cuses mayor Simon Richardson of saying he would support their plans for a rail trail from Billinudgel to Crabbes Creek, but voted against the idea at the last Council meeting. That Council meeting was on the same day as the Byron Line meeting. It reads, ‘Simon [Richardson’s] actions have given us no choice but to withdraw our co-operation with the Byron Line proposal. NRRT fear the Byron Line proposal will result in [the] sale of the corridor to private interests.’ NRRT’s decision to reject collaboration comes just after a press release from Don Page, a former NSW National Party MP, who is now chair of the northern rivers Regional Development Australia (RDA).

He threatened the electorate by claiming any attempt to find unity and a shared use will result in the infrastructure being sold off. Mr Page said, ‘The northern rivers region needs a united commitment to the rail trail uncontaminated by unrealistic ideas that will only ever serve to undermine a viable rail trail.’ ‘If the region can’t agree to support the rail trail, it’s inevitable sections of the corridor would be sold off. It’s a case of use it or lose it!’ Mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo, ‘It is well known that Don Page is a long-term supporter of a sole rail trail solution for our rail corridor, which would negate the possibility of any other transport options continued on page 3

Voters have given progressives a clear majority at Saturday’s Council elections, ending a four-year tumultuous term led by conservatives. In both the mayoral and councillor races, the Greens were the dominant force at voting booths across Byron Shire. The majority of voters were faithful to returning Greens mayor Simon Richardson in the north, south and middle of the Shire. The likely lineup – as of going to press – is all four Greens, Our Sustainable Future’s Basil Cameron, Country Labor’s Paul Spooner and National Party-aligned Alan Hunter. The remaining spots may end up going to Country Labor’s Jan Hackett and Cate Coorey from Community Byron; however, Gail Fuller and Rose Wanchap are still believed to be contenders. The Echo understands the electoral commission will complete counting by Friday.

Mayoral vote Richardson took all 11 booths on first preference votes, including at Sydney Town Hall, and won the pre-poll counts at Ballina, Mullumbimby, Byron Bay and Sydney. As of Tuesday morning electoral commission figures show that Ocean Shores had yielded him 1,020 votes, the two Byron Bay booths 1,227 in total and Mullumbimby 1,192. His closest mayoral contender, Labor candidate Paul Spooner, picked up 450 votes in Byron Bay, 605 at Ocean Shores and 357 in Mullumbimby. Alan Hunter, who

had run for the National Party in the 2010 federal election, took 352 at Ocean Shores, 202 at Mullumbimby and 194 at Byron Bay. Close behind Hunter in total votes, Our Sustainable Future’s Basil Cameron received 310 at Ocean Shores, 331 at Mullumbimby and 159 at Byron Bay. And close to Cameron’s home in the hinterland, Federal (Jasper Corner Hall) gave him 93 votes, ahead of Spooner’s 70 and Hunter’s 41 – but no contest to Richardson’s 347. In the councillor contest, the Greens group ticket took all booths with the Country Labor ticket second. Cameron’s OSF and Hunter’s Byron Shire in Balance shared the spoils of third place between them. At the Byron Bay booths the Greens polled 945, Country Labor 377, Byron Shire in Balance 150 and OSF 129. The Greens scored 774 votes at Ocean Shores, Country Labor 525, Byron Shire in Balance 384 and OSF 248. Mullumbimby awarded the Greens 976 votes, Country Labor 331, Byron Shire in Balance 184 and OSF 259. The prepoll booths got a fair bit of action at Mullumbimby and Byron Bay – a lot of people must have been working on the weekend – pulling in 4,397 votes in total in the mayoral race and 4,179 in the councillor contest. Informal votes totalled 1,658 in the group ticket votes and 545 in the mayoral race, or around 3.3 per cent of the total vote. Q Full vote breakdown is at www. votensw.info/byron-shire-council.

Plans for Bruns public lands spark outcry Luis Feliu

Controversial plans, which went on exhibition just days out from the council elections, to use prime foreshore public land in and around holiday parks at Brunswick Heads for commercial purposes have sparked a public outcry. Longtime opponents of encroachments and use of

public Crown foreshore land by the NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust (CHPT) say new management plans for the parks provide ‘a huge windfall’ to the trust and ‘a big loss for the community’. CHPT runs the town’s three tourist parks and is planning a major redevelopment of the public asset. The trust’s claim that its raft of proposals for its parks at Ferry Reserve, Massey Greene and Terrace Reserve ‘will open up the public foreshore for families and reduce the parks’ impact on the environment’ has been ridiculed by residents, who want to keep foreshore lands for public use.

Boundary expands Opponents say the new park boundaries and expansion plans are ‘outrageous’ and ‘a land grab’ as they reduce public recreation space in and around the village and hand the foreshore land over

for commercial use by the operators of the holiday cabins. Secret meetings between Council and the trust this year led to a deal last month by which the proposed contentious amendments to the holiday parks’ plans of management were adopted for inclusion in the parks’ operating licences. This, campaigners say, put public open space and recreational foreshore land in the parks’ operational boundaries, ‘effectively undoing decades of community work’ to keep it outside the park boundaries. Trust CEO Steve Edmonds said that ‘following consultation first with park residents’, the community would be invited to park ‘walkthroughs for feedback in the coming weeks’. Byron Shire Council general manager Ken Gainger said in a press release that Council and the trust ‘had been working through issues raised by the Brunswick Heads community and the council was pleased that most of those issues had now

been resolved through further amendments proposed to the plans of management’.

Major new developments But Foreshore Protection Group (FPG) convenor Michele Grant told The Echo the plans ‘fail to mention the park boundaries are being changed and large swathes of prime foreshore land will be converted from public use into commercial use, with major new development proposed’. Brunswick Heads Progress Association secretary Patricia Warren told The Echo that ‘any developer, be it a private person or otherwise, knows they can only develop within the boundaries of their property’ but, ‘in the case of the caravan parks in Brunswick Heads, the location of those boundaries has been controversial since 1988’. The proposed amendments can be viewed at http://nswchpt.com.au/media-releases. Q Full story on echo.net.au

New Bangalow chamber named A new Bangalow chamber of commerce board has emerged after the recent resignation of president Carolyn Adams, vice-president Jeff Lovett, treasurer Greg Clark and committee member John Gray. In a statement last Friday, acting president Jo Millar announced appointments until the next annual general meeting (AGM). They are acting vice-president Mary O’Connor, treasurer Ishwinder Thind and executive committee members Ruth Ryan and Mark Perkins. Ms Millar said, ‘We are all 2 September 14, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

equally disappointed with the sudden changes of the executive, and hold respect for all the years of hard work of the previous executive.’ ‘We were left saddened by not only the loss to the chamber, but the way it was communicated and the accusations raised.

Perplexed ‘We would like to first assure you the remaining executive feel we have continually acted in an honest and very fair manner and feel quite perplexed by the variety of

rumours circulating. ‘The remaining executive committee had its first chance to meet this week. We have an extremely motivated and cohesive team who are passionate about ensuring the Bangalow chamber plays a vital and wide-ranging role in supporting and advocating for our business community. ‘You will be pleased to know we believe that the way forward will be to work in an open and inclusive manner with all members and stakeholders.’

Local News CZMP returned First on the agenda for the newly elected Greens majority will be asking the state government to return the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) for redrafting. Cr Richardson told ABC radio Monday he would use the progressive majority to recall the ‘flawed and unpopular’ coastal plan, which proposes building a rock wall and boardwalk along a 1.5-kilometre stretch of Belongil beach.

Culture heard firsthand

Over-valued properties ‘Even the Office of Environment and Heritage and the coalition state government believe that we overemphasised and over-valued the individual properties and we under-emphasised and under-valued the environmental and social uses,’ he told ABC radio..

Each year young people in programs at Byron Youth Service (BYS) Mullumbimby Cottage participate in the Dolphin Dreaming program at the Byron Bay Lighthouse. Deb Pearse from BYS says, ‘It’s one of our favourite things to do. Each time it’s a little different but always fun, informative and interesting. This session, the girls heard Delta Kay describe life for our traditional owners of the land as she was growing up in the shire, how we preserve and protect the land and its birds and animals, how we take care of country.’ Photo Deb Pearse

Rail trail lobby group backflips continued from page 1 such as a rail shuttle – which our community clearly wants.’ ‘It concerns me that his statement suggests he hasn’t read the Byron Line proposal. The purpose of the document was to put all the options on the table with the view of creating a fully costed proposal which we can put to the state government with the backing of the entire community.

Not shovel ready ‘The solo rail trail option was unsuccessful in receiving state funding so it’s not shovel ready. It’s clear the government wants Byron Shire to come back with a fully costed option for activating the rail corridor that unites instead of divides our community.’ The Echo asked Mr Page to respond to Cr Basil Cameron’s claims the rail study on which he relies upon is flawed.

Mr Page replied, ‘It was not flawed. It simply didn’t deliver the conclusion he was hoping for. It specifically covered the public transport needs of the region. ‘It studied the whole track. From an engineering perspective I’ve been consistently advised that heavy and light rail require a similar high level of safety which doesn’t vary much regarding bridges etc.’ ‘The study was comprehensive and gave the community and the government the facts and figures needed to know if rail was viable. ‘The study clearly states it’s not viable. On the other hand, a subsequent study that looked at rail trail viability said it clearly was.’ Mr Page did not reply to why the study excluded examining the effects of the Shire’s 1.3 million or so yearly visitors. The Echo also asked Mr

Page that given his statements claiming the railway would be sold off if a rail trail is not established, ‘does that indicate that the Baird government can’t be trusted with public assets?’ He replied, ‘Governments of all complexions regularly require government agencies to report on assets they own that are surplus to requirements.’ ‘Surplus assets are sold or leased and the proceeds used to build new schools, hospitals and the like to meet demand. ‘We have a disused asset that’s been sitting there for more than 12 years. ‘Don’t you think it’s time to do something viable with it to keep it in public ownership?

‘I do. If rail ever becomes viable in the distant future the infrastructure needed will be different from the decayed infrastructure we have now in any event. ‘We can have the best rail trail in the world if we all get behind it and stop using spoiling tactics promoting uncosted, unfunded, unrealistic and unviable proposals that only generate false hope and jeopardise a very sensible low-impact and job-creating rail trail through our region. ‘Sitting on the fence and pretending you can have it both ways does not display leadership.’ Q Editorial page 8

Festival breath-testing results wakeup call for P-platers Results are back from a youth safe-transport project, which claims to have provided more than 2,000 breath tests and conducted more than 300 surveys at the recent Bello and Splendour music festivals. The tests and surveys were undertaken by STEER, a youth safe-transport project that delivers and supports a range of presentations and programs to educate young drivers. STEER’s Phil Preston says the results were surprising. ‘At both Bello and Splendour almost half of all patrons surveyed had no idea of their

blood alcohol count (BAC).’ ‘At Splendour, 92 per cent of green P-platers intending to drive had BACs over 0.0; STEER Project coordinator, Phil Preston says, ‘Our results suggest awareness of blood alcohol concentration among the general population is surprisingly low.’ ‘Perhaps the biggest surprise was associated with young drivers. We surveyed many P-platers who had been drinking alcohol and hoped their BAC would be zero. Almost all of them recorded some level of alcohol

in their body.’ Phil recommends urgent action is required. ‘Our reports suggest increasing awareness of standard drinks and individual ability to process alcohol among the general population, and particularly for young drivers.’ Phil encourages everyone to visit STEER voluntary breath-testing at community events and major festivals. ‘Even if you are not driving, it is a great opportunity to test yourself and increase awareness of how your body processes alcohol.’

Crown land sell-offs/leases not transparent: AG An independent body that helps NSW parliament hold government accountable has released a scathing report over the sale and management of Crown lands in the state. NSW auditor-general Margaret Crawford says management of the sale and lease of Crown land is ‘not effective because oversight of decision making is inadequate and community involvement is limited.’ ‘Crown land comprises approximately 42 per cent of all land in NSW,’ the AG’s department says, and includes parks and open spaces to coastal beaches, lands and waterways.

cilities operate on Crown lands also, such as town halls, sportsfields and racetracks. Ms Crawford says the manager of Crown lands, the Department of Industry/Lands, ‘has only just started monitoring whether tenants are complying with lease conditions, and does not have a clear view of what is happening on most leased Crown land.’ ‘The majority of guidance provided to staff has not been updated in the past decade, contributing to staff not correctly implementing policies on rental rebates, unpaid rent, rent redeterminations and the direct negotiation of sales and leases on Crown land.’

Remarkably, decisions on sale and lease of Crown land are not transparent to the public, claims Ms Crawford.

Secret deals ‘Between 2012 and 2015, 97 per cent of leases and 50 per cent of sales were negotiated directly between the department and an individual, without a public expressionof-interest process,’ she said. ‘The department manages around 8,500 leases, of which 275 are classified as “high value” (with an annual rental return greater than $20,000). Between 2012 and 2015 there were 225 sales of Crown land and 27 “high value” leases

Director and BPS assistant principal Larissa Polak said, ‘Our school musical is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the creative efforts of all our students. It is a dynamic example of teamwork, cooperation within our school

community and above all creativity at Bangalow Public School. Watching our students grow in confidence through creative arts opportunities is immensely rewarding. The smiles on their faces at every performance said it all.’

‘The BPS production of Alice in Wonderland could not have been possible without the efforts of all the brilliant teaching staff at Bangalow Public School and the wonderful parent community. BPS would like to thank

Byron High School principal Peter King and the support of the Byron Bay High School students who led the backstage and lighting crew. ‘This was a wonderful opportunity to work with our local feeder high school.’

GNOME WHAT I MEAN?

Mullumbimby-based organisation Rainforest Trust–Australia has added another block of exceptionally high-conservation value rainforest in far north QLD to its portfolio. The one hectare residential block brings the total number of blocks purchased in QLD by the group to 36, says CEO Kelvin Davies. ‘It is the last privately owned block on a Daintree service road, which will lead to the road eventually being closed and revegetated,’ he says. Davies says he intends to have the land added to the national park estate; it is a

known cassowary habitat. ‘This is the last piece of the jigsaw and we can now make moves to permanently close the service road and replant it with habitat for cassowaries and other endangered species,’ Kelvin said.

Threatened species ‘The Cassowary is listed as threatened by the Australian government and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature,’ he said. ‘We are totally committed to extending cassowary habitat and helping to slow plummeting population numbers.’

Dangerous dog stolen from pound A dangerous dog that has a history of attacking people was stolen from the Byron Shire Council pound last week. The desexed male Rhodesian Ridgeback cross Siberian Husky is tan in colour with a white chest and answers to the name ‘Rush’. The dog was declared dangerous back in early 2016 as

a result of five reported incidents. In April it also attacked a cyclist in Byron Bay. The attack was reported and Byron Shire Council successfully prosecuted the dog owner. The court ordered the destruction of the dog. Council staff said the owner was appealing the decision in the courts.

State and National News Press Council pushes for editorial standards on world’s largest media platform Social media behemoth Facebook was widely criticised last week over its attempt to censor the iconic ‘Napalm Girl’ war photograph. The photo has been widely published since 1972 and is often referred to as ‘the photo that helped end the Vietnam War’. While Facebook later reinstated the photo onto its feeds, the Australian Press Council (APC) issued a statement saying the issue ‘shines a spotlight on the growing

power of Facebook to shape the world’s news agenda without an adequate and clearly stated editorial policy.’ APC chair Professor David Weisbrot AM said, ‘Far too many people have fought for free speech and press freedom to have it threatened because a major news distribution platform like Facebook adopts unthinking, one-sizefits-all standards that censor images and information the world needs to see.’

Professor Weisbrot urged the multi-billion-dollar US corporation to review urgently the way it aggregates and disseminates the world’s news and to make public the editorial policy, ‘if there is one.’

‘Any attempt to impose universal, but lowest-common-denominator, rules that ignore context and cultural differences or operate to censor newsworthy images and information, must be avoided.’

Clumsy

‘Facebook must also address the clumsy and ineffective way in which its moderators and computer algorithms make crucial editorial decisions on behalf of Facebook’s users.

Ah, the smell of sizzling pork as the grilling of NSW budget estimates rolls out. It’s where opposition MPs hustle in a small room to skewer the ruling ministers and their top bureaucrats over how well they and their departments are doing. The following is a very brief take on what took place in Macquarie Street in Sydney the previous week.

Major criminal case dropped With the backdrop of the NSW Liberals being wrapped up in charges of evading electoral funding and disclosure laws, industry, resources and energy minister Anthony Roberts (former John Howard adviser) was asked to explain why a Liberal donor and quarry company director had a criminal court case against him dropped. Labor’s Adam Searle said Hunter Quarries had a series of cases in the Industrial Court of NSW and were up ‘for a serious criminal offence arising from a workplace death.’ ‘Intriguingly,’ he said, ‘no reasons were provided to the court as to why the prosecutions were discontinued [by the state government].’ Further, Searle said that by discontinuing proceedings it, ‘exposed your agency and the state of NSW to paying Mr Grugeon’s, presumably very considerable, legal costs.’ Roberts replied that he has created the NSW Resources Regulator, which is ‘responsible for compliance and enforcement functions right across the state’s mining and energy sectors and, of course, providing regular improvement with those regulatory functions of the department.’

‘I want to make it quite clear the importance of having a separation of powers here between those that develop the industry and drive it and those that enforce compliance and regulate the industry. ‘I am very happy to take it on notice and will come back with it as a matter of urgency.’

People v planet A sparring match then ensued between Roberts and Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham, with Buckingham attempting to gain acknowledgement from the mining MP that coal is cooking the planet. In return, Roberts instead attempted to paint the MP as wanting to destroy the coal industry that supplies 80 per cent of the state’s power. Roberts said, ‘NSW would be $7 billion worse off. Goodbye steelworks, infrastructure…’ But the core of any argument on fossil fuels is – and should be – about a transition to renewables, which Roberts accepted. ‘We support a national RET,’ he said. According to www.environment.gov.au, the Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme aims for renewable energy to power 23.5 per cent of Australia’s electricity needs by 2020. Buckingham pointed to more progressive state-based RETs and asked why NSW has fallen behind other states with renewables. Roberts referred to solar farms in Nyngan and Moree. Roberts also said he believes that a nationally set RET is better for investment and it

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

provides a ‘stable baseload.’ Later, Labor’s Adam Searle pressed Roberts on the decline in NSW renewables and his government’s plan which, Roberts again replied, is a national RET. Searle asked, ‘What are you doing to increase the overall proportion of renewable energy in this state? You can support the Commonwealth target, but unless your government does some heavy lifting it will not be met. What are you doing?’ He replied for the second time, ‘We have 7,700 megawatts of projects that are either approved or progressing through the NSW planning system.’

Electricity prices Searle asked about the rise in electricity bills since the coalition government ‘removed retail electricity price regulation in NSW in July 2015.’ Prices charged by the retailers overall ‘have jumped between ten per cent and 15 per cent’, Searle said, and ‘the Electricity and Water Ombudsman has said that although there are about 20 retailers, there is no real competition because the products are hard to understand. It is hard to compare like with like…’ Roberts retorted, ‘This is from a party that when in government saw rises of 20 per cent a year. I understand your point…’ ‘The Australian Energy Market Commission [AEMC] annually reviews the makeup of electricity prices as part of its competition re-

Mate, it’s the hard right at work

Volume 31 #14

September 14, 2016

I’m taking my bat and ball and going home The Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) has decided to welsh on its previous commitment to work cohesively with all parties regarding the disused railway in the Shire. This presumably includes their support for a shared-use feasibility study specific to the Shire (see page one story). Why? NRRT accuse the mayor of saying he would support their plans for rail trail from Billinudgel to Crabbes Creek, but when he had the chance to vote in favour at a Council meeting, he voted against. So all deals are off, say NRRT. Apart from being petty, the logic is inconsistent. At the August 25 council meeting, the mayor did vote against the Billinudgel rail trail proposal (and was defeated along with Crs Dey and Cameron). That night – straight after the meeting – the mayor convened his Byron Line meeting in Byron Bay that night. There was a warm fuzzy feeling of unity in the room. NRRT could have said they were unhappy with the mayor at that meeting. But they didn’t – instead, a press release was sent out the next day claiming they, ‘will assist with the TOR [terms of reference] in order to expedite this new feasibility study and business plan.’ NRRT said at the time, ‘It is important that all parties have their questions and concerns addressed by this study so we can move forward as a united community.’ Strangely, that press release is not on NRRT’s website. So what changed? Was it former National Party MP Don Page’s press release intervention on September 8, just days before the council election? Mr Page has been around for eons and after quitting politics in 2015 landed a cushy job as the northern rivers Regional Development Australia (RDA) chair. Apparently part of the job includes scaring the electorate by saying that the unscrupulous state government will flog off this public asset if we don’t do what he says. You know – the unscrupulous government he was once part of. The Libs and the Nats cannot be trusted with anything that concerns the common good, and NSW Auditor-General Margaret Crawford said as much last week with her report into Crown lands. Moving on… when The Echo asked NRRT about Mr Page’s press release comments, treasurer Marie Lawton said, ‘We have changed our mind about supporting Simon [Richardson’s] project and Sol [Ibrahim] sent out a media release.’ This suggests the former conservative Byron Shire councillor is not content with a disastrous term in public office but is now pushing around a barrow on behalf of the NRRT board. If true, Ibrahim is causing division and ruining the credibility of NRRT – just as he did with Council. The most remarkable part of NRRT’s long-winded and somewhat passive-aggressive press release was the last statement: ‘The benefits of the rail trail to our Shire and the region are too important to be used as a political tool.’ Just who is being the political tool? A feasibility study is clearly needed to provide some clarity and trust in process, as NRRT previously pointed out. Tweed Shire Council did one and so should we.

raham Richardson called his memoir Whatever It Takes, which was not only his own credo, but also the mantra of the NSW Right faction of which he was supremo. He learnt at the feet of John Ducker, who was in turn the protégé of Ralph Willis; these were the hard men, fired in the furnace of the great ALP split of the 1950s. Their relentless campaign against communist influence in the party and the unions prevented the schism that developed in Victoria from spreading over the border, and for that they were regarded as heroes. Victory should have been declared but, as so often happens, the war continued for far longer: the battle against the Left and all its works became a self-perpetuating reality, often overshadowing the need to engage against the real enemy, the conservative coalition. The Right became known as The Mob, the Sussex Street Death Squad; one federal leader, Bill Hayden, said that being called ‘mate’ by the faction was like being presented by the Mafia with a bunch of flowers; the next step was a severed horse’s head on your bed. One capo of the Right, Mark Arbib, claimed the reason he had moved to destroy Kevin Rudd was not that the people had stopped listening to the prime minister: ‘He stopped listening to me,’ boasted the enforcer. And over the years the culture of the Right became, not more cooperative, but more intransigent, more triumphalist; Whatever It Takes morphed imperceptibly into Whatever We Can Get Away With. This was the school which produced, among many others, Sam Dastyari, once an enthusiastic foot

soldier, later to become a warlord in his own right. He was a man of respect, a Don; his colleagues were expected to follow his counsel with reverence and fear. This is the explanation a frustrated press corps could not extract while investigating why Dastyari had asked a Chinese firm to pay off his election expenses, a relatively paltry sum which he happily declared to the Electoral Commission. Eventually he admitted that he simply did not want to pay the debt. The real question was not ‘why?’ but ‘why not?’. If there

retire to his lair to plot, manipulate and connive, and he will probably return fairly quickly; Shorten, and perhaps more significantly Richardson, have suggested that he is too valuable to sideline for too long – too valuable to the NSW Right, if not for the country at large. And in the end, it may even be beneficial in the medium term for the Labor Party and further down the track for the Australian body politic. Dastyari’s example has provided a focus for the venality of the politicians at all levels – perhaps, finally, the age of entitlement

Dastyari’s example has provided a focus for the venality of the politicians at all levels. by Mungo MacCallum was loose change to be picked up, he had every right to trouser it; he was a Made Man, who was going to challenge him? Whatever you can get away with. In the old parlance, Dastyari was what was called a wide guy. In the end – or at least the end of this episode, there may well be more to this saga – he did not get away with it, or more correctly his party didn’t; as he belatedly realised the damage to the collective was too great to manage. His colleagues hung on to him for a while – probably rather longer than they should have, although it must be said that Bill Shorten was far less stubborn than Tony Abbott had been over the lingering political death of Bronwyn Bishop, and less suicidal than Abbott’s protection of Joe Hockey and Peta Credlin. Dashergate was embarrassing, but not fatal. Slippery Sam, as he is now known, will

may be, if not over, at least being somewhat stalled. The political game has always been transactional; there is very seldom a free lunch. Whether it is a direct payment to a politician, a freebie for a trip, some gratis accommodation or expenses, a hefty donation to a party or an electorate, a promise of support or a bargain struck over policy, almost everyone expects, if not demands, something in return. Almost the only altruists are the long-suffering idealists who hand out the how-to-vote cards at election time, and even they may occasionally dream of advancement. The public knows all this, or at least suspects it, and as a result is deeply cynical about the whole process: politics is seen as, if not actually corrupt, certainly compromised. There is a hunger to reform the system, but few expectations that the

politicians are willing to do so – until, occasionally, a headlinegrabbing example of an obviously over-the-top outrage such as that of Dastyari. So now, suddenly, reform is back on the agenda. Malcolm Turnbull, having spent much of his time overseas inveighing against the Dasher, says he is willing to consider the whole regime of donations. Even Tony Abbott has jumped on board. Bill Shorten has long been an advocate to ban foreign donations, limit domestic ones and make disclosure somewhat faster that the current tortuous delay. But unfortunately there are multiple problems of implementation, ranging from the constitutional to those of simple self-interest. Those with most to lose from reform are the party apparatchiks – the bean counters and the bagmen. They are quite happy with things as they are, thank you very much; the idea of actually having to rely on raffles and lamington drives, or still less to resort to old-fashioned street meetings and door knocking in place of television campaigns and robot calls to woo the punters is too terrible to contemplate. And so it is unlikely to be contemplated: the more likely outcome is that yet another inquiry will be shunted off to yet another committee until the whole controversy dies down and the parties can resume business as usual. The Augustine formula will prevail: Lord, make me pure, but not yet. And so the Sam Dastyaris of the world will receive forgiveness and absolution, the NSW Right can continue its thuggery, and the rest of the politicians will, as usual, rejoice in the belief that there, but for the grace of God, go they. Whatever it takes.

In regards to L Cronin’s ‘Water is coming’ (Letters, September 7): After the 2035 and 2040 mega-cyclones which wiped out Clarkes Beach and made their way all the way up to Lawson Street, surfers can now catch one of the longest rides in the world. The council is providing a shuttle service from Lawson Street to The Pass for all surfers. This allows surfers to catch a wave from The Pass and make their way to Lawson Street. Good news is that tourist numbers have gone from 1.6 million (2020) to 6.5 million (2050). Also Byron has been lucky to have held two world title surfing fixtures in the last four years. Word is that Byron is now the surfing mecca of the world. Also council revenue has

skyrocketed since the introduction of the $10 all-day pass for surfers. Locals are exempt. B Hinchcliffe Mullumbimby

Don’s dummy spit

What a nasty dummy spit and attempt at bullying the northern rivers community from Don ‘you can have your trains back’ Page, who states ‘if the Rail Trail (on the Casino to Murwillumbah train line) does not go ahead it is likely the corridor will be sold off ’. Charming. Obviously the overwhelming support for a train service, and lack of community interest in his rail trail idea, is getting to Mr Page. The corridor cannot be sold off while it is protected by current legislation and the community has been united in opposing any change to the legislation. We know from

the cost of the repairs to the Byron Bay section of line that repairs to the line for a rail service will cost a fraction of what Mr Page and the National Party have been telling the community. Nothing Mr Page says can be believed. You would think they’d have learnt their lesson after campaigning strongly for a rail trail in the state election and losing the state seat of Ballina to the Greens. The northern rivers community has spoken and there’s a strong commitment to have Trains On Our Tracks. It’s ludicrous to suggest that over two million people will get off a plane at Coolangatta, put their baggage on the back of their bicycle, and ride all the way to Byron Bay. Nor will they get off the train at Casino and do likewise. Don Page, the National Party and the Labor Party

Surfer’s wet dream

Any developer, be it a private person or otherwise, knows they can only develop within the boundaries of their property. In the case of the caravan parks in Brunswick Heads, the location of those boundaries has been controversial since 1988! Under the Local Government Act’s s68, Byron Shire Council has the legislative power to determine what is called the ‘operational boundaries’ within which the caravan parks are developed and operated. Plans of Management (PoM) put out by Crown Lands do not. Council used its s68 power in August 2012–May 2013 to set the boundaries for the pending PoM. The guts of Council’s resolutions was to keep prime foreshore parklands outside the operational boundaries of the caravan parks. These resolutions were ignored in the PoM that went out on exhibition and was subsequently approved in 2014. In December 2015, Council again reaffirmed its previous decisions on the boundaries. In confidential meetings with NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust and a subsequent report to Council on August 25, 2016, councillors approved the proposed amendments to the controversial

continued from page 9 PoM. By default, they have given public open space and recreational foreshore land to be included in the caravan parks’ operational boundaries. This effectively undoes decades of community work to keep these prime lands outside those boundaries. Paralleling that decision, and of which all parties would have been well aware, are moves by the state government to strip councils of their s68 power to determine boundaries and to sell/lease selected Crown land to the private sector. Councillors need to explain why they didn’t stand by their decisions on the location of the boundaries of the caravan parks and allow NSWCHP to use the controversial land under conditions, eg camping at Christmas and

again at Easter. The community would have been accepting of that. Instead, they opted to include the controversial lands within the operational boundaries of the caravan parks and set conditions during the licensing period on how they may be used. There is no sense of permanency in this. These conditions could readily be changed in the next licensing period. In the meantime, it is highly probable Council will have lost its s68 power to set the boundaries. Patricia Warren Brunswick Heads

employee, Mr Gainger. Why was an employee for 23 years suddenly disgruntled enough to resign? One of the reasons I became disgruntled was seeing the amount of competent staff resigning from Water and Recycling Operations Wages Section between 2002 and 2005. There were 17 resignations over this period; noone asked why. Mr Gainger, your statement that you require advanced technical skills to operate West Byron is nonsense. Your own utility manager states none of the STPs in Byron Shire are manned on a daily basis. On most days someone attends the plants to carry out maintenance duties that would require advanced technical knowledge, for sure. If you have all this highly qualified staff why was GHD, a consulting firm, needed to be brought in to tell BSC that West Byron would last another decade? Tom Tobart was the only councillor willing to take any action to stop bullying and harassment of staff by management while I worked for Council, but the boys’ club remains the same. Mr Gainger also states the West Byron STP design was

award-winning. The concept was that to close South Byron STP West Byron STP had to supply a quality of effluent suitable for reuse and 100 per cent of that effluent was to go to reuse. That has never been achieved; the fact is that West Byron STP has been causing effluent to encroach on privately owned farmland for over a decade. The whole strategy developed by previous elected councils and community waste-water steering committees for Byron Shire’s wastewater plants was a significant reuse program and getting effluent leaving these plants out of our rivers. The management of water and recycling have had 15 years and spent millions in ratepayers’ funds and still effluent from our STPs is going into our rivers and the reuse program is a non-event. Mr Gainger, you as GM should be questioning them rather than me and Mr Tabart. Alan Dickens Brunswick Heads As another professional once said, ‘He would say that wouldn’t he?’ I refer of course to GM Gainger’s ‘response to his detractors’. The purpose of my criQ

tiques of Council has not been to denigrate Mr Gainger, who appears to be an average product of the limited GM pool. Rather, I am attempting to raise the awareness of incoming councillors (both old and new) to issues that will (or should) confront them but may be expensively delayed owing to staff sensitivity. It is unfortunate that Mr Gainger has sought to deflect constructive criticism by accusations of bullying of staff by previous councillors (me) and the ‘apparent disgruntlement of a former employee’ (Alan Dickens). Refuting such allegations is a ‘he says she says’ dichotomy but I would ask what logical motives we could have other than the good of the Shire and Council governance. Contrary to his accusation of us ‘peddling misinformation’, we receive a constant flow of information from his staff, have professional qualifications, extensive experience in Council, know the history and seem far better informed in some areas than Mr Gainger. On the same day as my meeting with him I received phone calls from a current and a recent employee; both confirmed my assessment of

netdaily.net.au poor morale. One also mentioned that the GM had immediately instigated one of his ‘regular anonymous staff surveys’, apparently the first for a couple of years. However, as a former senior army officer, I question the use of such surveys to gauge morale. A leader should know the state of their organisation’s morale at all times without having to resort to doubtful bureaucratic ploys. At our meeting I recounted some of the less-than-reassuring history of the previous council of which Mr Gainger appeared to be unaware. I also mentioned names of staff ‘worth watching’ – perhaps those providing him with character assessments. I hope he took some of this on board. I see no point in continuing this current discourse but invite councillors and staff (including Ken) to contact me if they feel I can help with council matters. Tom Tabart Bangalow

Engaging with the lives of elders Out of a desire to enhance the quality of life for our elders and people living with earlystage dementia, the managers from Byron Community Centre’s (BCC) Community Services, together with students and volunteers, have developed The Life Journey Project. Volunteer facilitators are paired with an older person who may, or may not, be diagnosed with dementia, to assist them to creatively document their life. Through group work and one-on-one sessions of meaningful and light-hearted engagement, the facilitator helps in the gathering-up of the participant’s life. Using photos, images and favourite phrases, they produce a series of collages that represent the elder’s life stages from childhood to now.

Isolation risk Isolation is one of the main risks for our elderly, particularly those living with dementia. The development of personal biographies in the form of life review or life stories is a means of preserving identity and therefore a way to improve communication and social connection. Research has shown that older people with dementia experience enhanced memory, selfesteem and wellbeing when they participate in programs similar to that of The Life Journey Project. This year the project’s coordinator, Nina Bishop, has been inspired by research about the value of personalised music and its effect on our ageing brains. Music and songs, particularly songs filled with meaning, favourite songs or popular songs from previous page the last part of our Arakwal native title claim over lands in the north of Byron Shire. The claim has been a long, hard process dealing with government, and my aunties were determined to protect their ancestor land for generations to come. My aunties left a great legacy for our people and spent countless hours at meeting after meeting to save and protect their ancestors’ land. I hope that in years to come they will be remembered for this. How many towns are wrapped in a national park and have a marine park at the front? Only one that I know of and that is Byron Bay, Arakwal lands. My aunties were

‘After listening to original soundtracks of the songs, she became lively, singing along and talking about her life. It was fabulous to see the change and connect with her more fully’. The next day Nina received a text from the daughter: ‘I spoke with Mum last night and lots of words tumbled out. It was so lovely to hear an almost complete sentence.’ The use of headphones reduces distraction and is a

very proud of that, knowing the developers could not get their greasy hands on it and destroy it. The native title brought hope back to our people and gave us a say in managing our traditional lands so the land of our ancestors could be protected from developers for ever. One of the benefits from the native title claim was being able to get our old campsite back, from where my aunties were removed as kids by government policy. The aunties could go back there to live out their lives. Unfortunately this didn’t happen; we got the land back but we didn’t get to build the houses in time. My three aunties passed away still fighting to

the end to see their native title finished. Anther benefit that came with the native title was joint management with National Parks of Arakwal Park. It was the only way to protect this significant land for our people. It also created jobs for our people and our boys still work in the park today. Our boys are proud to say they are taking care of their grandmothers’ land. My aunties also were successful in negotiating Broken Head caravan park to be given back to our people, to generate an income for our community to be able to manage Arakwal affairs into the future.

Reinventing everything We both distrusted ‘isms’ because we thought we had to reinvent everything, including dissent, since the culture we grew up in – his in Wahroonga in Sydney and mine in Blackburn in Melbourne – was crumbling, or already crumby. Rejecting ‘isms’ was, and still is, a great Australian tradition. In the early 1900s, young Aussies who were rowdy and also mavericks were called ‘larrikins’, and a few years ago, on a walk through the rainforest in Coorabell, Richard and I agreed that larrikinism is one ism we could embrace. Back in the 1970s, our politics evolved. He shed his conviction that the counterculture was ‘designed for raving hippies with sparklers to wander the planet dropping acid forever’, and came to describe it instead as ‘a leap towards… colour, movement and tolerance.’ And beneath that hippie-hippie-shake meme

of his, he also knew there was a deadly serious side to politics: the drive toward war, plunder, and subjugation, which he saw in American policies as much as in those of empires never distracted by notions of democracy.

Sleeping giant I shared that perspective, but I noted, in my review of his book Playpower in 1971, that ‘One area of liberation Oz and Neville have only gradually come to admit is women’s liberation [and] with exactly half the world in this army [it’s] the biggest sleeping giant of all.’ In 2007, Louise Ferrier recalled the Oz years, during which she was Richard’s partner, as ‘a new dimension opening up. But,’ she told The Australian, ‘a lot of shit went on, too – men beating their chests, putting each other down, showing off their intellect. At least there were people like Germaine [Greer]… She could write, talk, sing, act, cook, knit and crochet. And argue!’ On Q&A last week, Germaine said of Richard: ‘I used to tease him and say that he was the ad man for the revolution, because he didn’t actually have any ide-

When Russian Chess Federation chief (and billionaire) Andrey Filatov decided to become captain of the Russian open team at the Baku Chess Olympiad, little did the other teams know that their enjoyment of the Olympiad was to be severely curtailed. Perennial top seed Russia has failed to win team gold since 2002 and perhaps Filatov (pictured right) surmised that the other teams must have been cheating. He insisted on draconian new rules at the Baku Olympiad and the world body FIDE was happy to oblige him. Filatov did not trust the traditional security measures such as metal detectors on entry and proposed that players must alert the arbiter whenever they need to use the toilet. The arbiter must count these visits and report any player going too often. (One prominent cheating case a year ago saw a player hiding a mobile phone in a toilet cubicle.) At the pre-Olympiad meetings of captains and arbiters, opposition was almost unanimous, but a quiet word from Filatov saw

I met Richard Neville in the ‘Summer of Love’ in San Francisco. That was 1970 when hippies were smoking joints and dancing on the grass in Golden Gate Park to Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Richard was taking a break from editing Oz in London while I was taking a break from editing my pop music paper GoSet and my new counterculture paper Revolution in Melbourne and Sydney. We were formally introduced at the Rolling Stone San Francisco office by its founder/editor Jann Wenner. Richard and I enjoyed reading each other’s magazines, but sharing four days exploring the sex, drugs, rock, and politics culture in Frisco, Berkeley, and Bolinas, we found more common ground: we shared a commitment to working for the common good, and a passionate rejection of authoritarian school principals, politicians, preachers, or parents.

ology. His ideology was endlessly supple, but in some ways that’s important; that you are open to new ideas in that way, and not doctrinaire like me.’ I would argue that Germaine was and is another great Aussie larrikin, even with her doctrines. She was, after all, like Richard, embroiled in an obscenity case in the 70s when she posed naked for a double-page spread in Suck magazine. Not that being obscene is essential to larrikinism – I was charged with obscenity for publishing Helen Garner’s first article in The Digger in 1972, but I was also charged with ‘inciting diverse persons unknown to commit larceny in supermarkets’, and that’s clearly a larrikin act. Let’s then remember Richard as a larrikin, a high-end one perhaps, but a fair dinkum larrikin. As Louise Ferrier said: ‘for all my ambivalence I do miss the energy and idealism of Oz. There’s no heart any more. It feels like we’re returning to a barren pre-Oz time.’ Q Richard Neville died last week in Byron, aged 74. Phillip Frazer writes from his larrikin’s lair at coorabellridge.com.

Instead of a flawed law, here’s a flawed ‘independent’ government department

FIDE ignore the protests. As the Olympiad wore on, restrictions on the players and captains became tougher and tougher as paranoia over electronic cheating reigned. Pens were banned, then watches, then cameras and finally books(!). Press were severely restricted and sometimes manhandled by the Olympiad security guards. For many lower ranked countries there will be no photo record of their participation in Azerbaijan. Yet Filatov may soon be just another failed Russian captain; at the time of writing Russia is not even sure of a medal.

For developments too big for councils to determine (according to the state government), there is the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP). What is it? Directed by the NSW planning department, there are six panels across the state that assess and generally approve big-ticket items, ‘independently’. These may include hospitals, bypasses and mega-festivals. The word ‘approve’ is used here owing to an almost 100 per cent approval rate from the entire JRPP over the last few years. It’s all on their website. The ‘independently’ appointed positions are generally made up of former bureaucrats and MPs and the one for this region is chaired by Garry West, a former National Party MP. So how is appointing a former politician an independent post? And given its almost 100 per cent approval record, is there any oversight or committee that reports on their conduct? Good luck asking the planning department or its minister regarding these issues; The Echo is yet to receive a reply. Mr West was reappointed on July 12, the department announced.

Letters continued from page 11 of the Arakwal people and it was a special place of my great-great-great-grandfather King Bobby. We were also able to secure land at Wategos to develop so that this could generate an income for the future of our Arakwal people, and land to build a culture centre so that we can preserve our culture and educate the international visitors who flock to Byron Bay. But now I’m saddened by my people. All the hard work my aunties achieved for their people is left in the hands of the Arakwal Corporation board, in whom I have little faith. I now live down the south coast in Narooma in my husband’s beautiful country, Yuin Country. He stood by my side and my aunties every step of the way. I want to thank many people who made this claim possible – the Byron Shire community for the support and respect that they have given Arakwal people, Byron

Dog ownership

Alan Ramsay’s comments (Letters, September 7) concerning Brunswick dog exercise areas are ill-informed and illogical. The only comment that makes sense is ‘pet dogs have major health benefits for older people’. Mr Ramsay needs to acquaint himself with the large number of on-lead and offlead dog exercise areas in the shire by examining the 2011 Byron Shire Council Companion Animals Policy. I’m sure Mr Ramsay is a responsible dog owner. BSC is required to follow

the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 Number 87. Section 13(1) states, ‘A dog that is in a public place must be under the effective control of some competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash that is attached to the dog and that is being held by (or secured to) the person.’ Under state law the maximum penalty is $1,100. BSC charges $220. During extended visits to the UK, I invariably observe dogs in public places on a leash and under the effective control of owners. Signs are provided in some public spaces to indicate when dogs should be on a short leash. Responsible dog ownership is ingrained in the culture. A responsible dog ownership cultural change needs to occur in Byron Shire. Mr Ramsay says that ‘dogs poop on sidewalks as well’. They certainly do. Responsible dog owners would remove their dog’s faeces. The Animal Companions Act section 20(1) states, ‘If a dog defecates in a public place the

owner of the dog must immediately remove the dog’s faeces and properly dispose of them. Maximum penalty: 8 penalty units ($880)’. Mr Ramsay should promote responsible dog ownership and for owners to abide by the law rather than implying that the hard-working and under-resourced Council rangers are ‘anti-dog Nazis’. Rangers are required to uphold the law. Give them a break. D Wallace Suffolk Park

Need and greed

In the case of Roden v Bandora Holdings Pty Ltd [2006] NSWCA 220 (24 August 2016), the first ground of appeal was whether the approved development was for a ‘tourist facility’ prohibited in land zoned 1(a) General Rural Zone (zoning of the subject land) under the 1988 Byron LEP. In contrast to the Land and Environment Court determination, the Supreme Court of Appeal considered

the definitions of ‘tourist facilities’ and ‘rural tourist facilities’ in the 1988 LEP and determined that they did not provide exhaustive lists of examples of prohibited uses. The court also concluded that the definitions did not provide mutually exclusive categories. The second ground of appeal with regard to development on a ridgetop had no bearing on the outcome of the case and was not given consideration as the first ground of appeal had succeeded. There are several implications and questions flowing from this case. Does this case mean that all DA approvals for weddings (and possibly other uses) granted by Council under the 1988 LEP are now invalid? How does the 1988 LEP differ from the 2014 LEP with regard to prohibited uses? As the ‘hills are alive with the sound of wedding bells’, what does Council intend to do about it? I note a bundle of development applications

SUSTAINABLE HOUSE DAY NORTHERN RIVERS

netdaily.net.au for wedding venues in Council’s in-tray. There are already several unapproved wedding venues functioning in the hills. Is everyone getting married? How many wedding venues do we need? Where do we need them? Do we need one on every property? If not, then perhaps the most remote properties might be considered. Is it acceptable for people to be driven out of their homes so absent landlords (residing in Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, etc) can make a fortune out of the misery of the neighbours, the wildlife and domestic animals? Residents contribute to the community financially but more importantly through a vast investment of their time and energy in voluntary work, including environmental conservation and community building. Sustainable development is necessary but rape and pillage of the countryside for sheer profit is not. Hilary Bone Federal

Property insider Sustainable House Day Expo Saturday 17th at Mullum Civic Hall The annual expo includes a display of more than 40 entries in the 2016 Tiny Homes Design Competition, with some amazing creations from both professional and amateur designers on how to live small, simple and sustainable. â€˜This yearâ€™s professional category theme has focused on how we can live together in pocket neighbourhoods to minimise urban sprawl. Small houses simply mean we can use our resources wisely, which of course also has a positive financial and social impact. There is no downside to going sustainable, and people are really catching

on to that,â€™ event coordinator Sandi Middleton said. The popular free event also includes a number of talks focused on sustainable building materials and affordable home ownership. â€˜Along with the desire for best-practice housing designs that have a light environmental footprint is the ability of our community to be able to afford to build them,â€™ says Graeme Herne, event sponsor from Summerland Credit Union. He urges locals to take advantage of this unique opportunity and attend the talks.

The 2016 Sustainable House Day Expo also includes a Speed Date a Designer segment and a Green Building and Living Trade Show, where local businesses will be selling eco-friendly products and services. Visitors can also get handy hints from the Love Food Hate Waste cooking demonstration and children can explore the Dorroughby Environmental Education Centreâ€™s interactive energy efficiency trailer.

Itâ€™s women and children sleeping in their cars. â€˜Itâ€™s young people having to beg a couch from friends and never knowing where they will be the next night.

Russel Shaw, credit adviser with Acceptance Finance, sent through some interesting information on the Reserve Bank of Australiaâ€™s decision to keep the official interest rates on hold. Russel says given they dropped rates only last month, itâ€™s common for them to wait to see the economic impact of the previous cut before making any further changes. Russel goes on to add that keeping track of your home loan rate and how it compares to the market is a challenging

exercise given how each bank has a different standard variable rate and their discounts and promotions offers are constantly changing.

Mark Lang Photographer Known principally for his landscapes, photographer Mark Lang also shoots portraits. Musicians, writers and artists have been his subjects − people whose work he loves. Recently he spent seven years on the road photographing the Australian landscape, during which time he spent two years working with Kakadu elder ‘Big Bill’ Neidjie, recording his words and photographing his country for the book Old Man’s Story, which was published by Aboriginal Studies Press and launched at Parliament House, Canberra, in 2015. The portrait that he took of Bill Neidjie is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery. He has since returned to Byron Shire and is still shooting portraits. Please call 0412 122 772 or email mark@ marklangscapes.com if you’d like a portrait taken by him.

Othello Bell Shakespeare The Object of Flight

J787 No 1, Damien O’Mara

A violent exploration of the thin line that separates love and jealousy, Othello is a relentless journey of vicious passion.

One of William Shakespeare’s most famous and passionate tragedies, Othello is directed by Bell Shakespeare’s Peter Evans and plays only two shows on 11 October at the Arts Centre on the Gold Coast. The story follows a warrior on the fields of war, felled by the sharpness of whispered words. Othello is a man swept up in desire, quickly turned to murderous rage when he is betrayed by his military brother-inarms, the cynically destructive Iago. Presented as Australia’s premier Shakespeare Company, this gripping production that will touch audiences to their core.

Northern Rivers Community Gallery’s (NRCG) latest Art at the Airport at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport showcase features the works of artist Damien O’Mara. Visitors will experience the complex structure and industrial designs of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Series. O’Mara’s Dreamliner Series seeks to challenge the symbolism of the industrial form as established through modern art photography. Further information visit the website at www.nrcgballina.com.au.

Artist in Focus Born in Coraki and living most of his life in Lismore, master craftsman Geoff Hannah is one of the finest cabinetmakers in the world. Awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study the work of the great cabinetmakers of Europe in the 1980s, Geoff has been passing on his passion for wood and uncompromising attention to detail to a significant band of students, some of whom have been attending his classes each week for more than twenty years. Lismore Regional Gallery is currently honouring Geoff ’s contribution to the field with the exhibition In Glue and Dust We Trust, revealing his latest work The Chinoiserie Cabinet, alongside more than sixty works by his students. The exhibition features a behind-the-scenes documentary Secrets and Sawdust: A master and his students prepare by Cloudcatcher Media and commissioned by the Gallery, showing the creation of his latest masterpiece and the journey of his students preparing for a major exhibition. Geoff ’s fascinating life story is also revealed in the biography Geoffrey Hannah: Never a Less Likely Bloke: from Relinquished Child to Renaissance Man written by Meg Heggen. Record numbers of visitors have been flocking to the exhibition In Glue and Dust We Trust, which continues at Lismore Regional Gallery until 24 September.

Brookfarm goes to Melbourne

Hats off to the winners Story and photos by Vivienne Pearson We take our hat off to locals awarded hats in the 2017 Good Food Guide awards, announced last week: • • • • • • •

Two hats (last year one hat): Fleet, Brunswick Heads Two hats (new): Paper Daisy, Cabarita Beach One hat (retained): Town Restaurant, Bangalow One hat (retained): Fins, Salt/Kingscliff Best NSW Regional Restaurant: Paper Daisy Regional Wine List of the Year: Fleet Service Excellence: Astrid McCormack, Fleet

second hat and won Best NSW Regional Wine List. And, as will come as no surprise to anyone who has dined at Fleet, Astrid McCormack was presented with an award for her exceptional service.

Fins has also held a hat (sometimes two) for 21 of its 23 years of operation. Paper Daisy, based at Halcyon House in Cabarita Beach, been awarded not only two hats but Best NSW Regional Restaurant. Chef Ben Devlin (ex-NOMA) says: ‘Being recognised alongside the top restaurants… is such an unexpected but fantastic result for all of us… it’s a great reward for everyone’s hard work’.

The awards were presented in Sydney last week in an event described by Steven Snow as: ‘The NSW Academy Awards for restaurants.’ Steven enjoys attending as Steven Snow (Fins) puts on his hat. a chance to catch up Fleet were awarded two hats. with his industry friends. Katrina and Karl (Town) enjoy The Fleet crew also were wearing a hat. there, combining their attendance with a welldeserved break. Katrina and Karl Kanetani from Town sacrificed attendance to focus on the Sample Food Festival as well as simply keeping their restaurant open. ‘Being the only two chefs makes it hard to get away,’ Katrina says.

Fleet, the tiny restaurant in Brunswick Heads that was awarded Best NSW Regional Restaurant last year, have this year added a

On the back of these awards, our region continues, quite rightly, to be the subject of much talk in food circles.

More Awards!

Together with his partner Massimo, Michael developed their local product over about a year, working with Markwood Fisheries in the Tweed.

Another big food win has been announced for the region with Byron and hinterland awarded Outstanding Region in the Delicious Australia Produce Awards 2016.

‘Our local bottarga is nowhere near as salty and fishy as the European product’, said Michael, ‘here we use a sweeter, more delicate flavour that is more suited to the Australian palates’.

Northern Rivers Food’s Anne Briggs congratulated ‘all the local farmers, food producers, food service providers and food manufacturers in this region, who have collectively won this award, and who make this region so tasty!’

Josh Lewis from Fleet restaurant in Brunswick Heads was announced the ‘Unearthed Next Gen Chef’ winner. They are certainly onto something at Fleet, with front-of-house Astrid McCormack deservedly winning a Good Food Guide award for excellent service, ‘the restaurant’ won a second GFG hat and winning best regional NSW wine list (see article above).

Run by Fairfax Media, the awards are reportedly based on anonymous and independent reviews, with reviewers booking under assumed names and receiving no ‘freebies’. Karl Kanetani, from Town Café and Restaurant, confirms this is the case. ‘If someone such as Terry Durack [one of the reviewers] turns up, you recognise him,’ Karl says. ‘But you won’t know until he arrives, so you won’t have prepared any differently. They don’t want to be treated specially.’ Town has been awarded one hat each year for the six years they have been in operation.

‘Special congratulations must go to local food manufacturers Salumi Australia for their gold medal win in the From the Sea category for Bottarga, which is such a great new product and a real delicacy to be grated over a seafood pasta or on pizza’, Anne said. The Viagra of the Sea Michael Dlask from Salumi said that bottarga is, ‘in all seriousness, the viagra of the sea’. Bottarga is a dried, pressed and salted mullet roe, sourced from two kilometres off the Salumi factory during the May-June mullet run. ‘Bottarga made with mullet is a Sardinian delicacy, and a gentleman from Sardinia used to come to the northern rivers each year at the end of the mullet run, take ten tonnes of it back to Sardinia and then export processed bottarga to Australia. The food miles used to drive us crazy’.

Our unique region Why is our northern rivers region so successful? Northern Rivers Food convenor, and co-founder of Brookfarm Pam Brook, says, ‘The one thing we do uniquely up here is to really connect everyone from paddock to plate. In some regions it’s everyone for themselves, but when people come to this region they don’t have to reinvent the wheel: we help to connect them. There is a unique culture of collaboration and sharing.’

Martin Brook makes sure he has a good breakfast before heading to Melbourne

Story and photo by Vivienne Pearson These days, there’s an expo for everything. The big one for food is Fine Foods Australia, which is held annually, alternating between Sydney and Melbourne. This week, with more than 1,000 exhibitors, it’s in Melbourne. This is no ‘wander in off the street for a squizz and a bite to eat’ style food expo. Fine Foods Australia is all about business, so admission is open only to those in food and hospitality industries. Exhibiting is no minor undertaking – it costs big bucks (there is a whole industry based around creating stands for these expos). Brookfarm is one local company that is in Melbourne this week. Martin Brook, chairman and co-founder, sees attendance as an investment. ‘People come from all over the world to see what Australia has to offer,’ he says of the expo. Brookfarm products are currently sold in 17 countries and aims to increase this over the coming years. Martin attends along with CEO Pam Brook and a couple of key staff. Attendance meets multiple goals: solidifying existing customer relations, catching up with distributors who are based in other states, and finding new corporate customers. It is an opportunity to showcase new products – for Brookfarm this year this is a baked Florentine bar and two flavours of granola (‘a more heavily baked product than muesli,’ Martin describes). As a bonus, Martin says he enjoys Fine Foods as a chance to catch up with friends who are in the food business in other parts of Australia. While Martin enjoys visiting Melbourne or Sydney for such events, he has no interest in moving permanently, no matter how much Brookfarm grows. ‘Companies of our size drift to cities but we don’t want to,’ he says. ‘Bangalow is where we started from – our first customer was the Bangalow Post Office – and we are passionate in supporting local employees.’ Plans for larger production premises just outside Bangalow are currently with the state government. Martin is genuinely excited about the possibilities this site would provide – including custom-designed spaces (‘beautiful and sustainable’), solar panels (‘that could power a huge chunk of Bangalow’), and planting up to 3,000 trees for ingredients and beauty (‘rainforest regeneration is my hobby’). ‘Byron Shire can lead the way on this – no-one else has done dedicated and sustainable food businesses in a way that encapsulates all these things,’ Martin says. It would also mean that Brookfarm could remain in the region. Martin won’t be drawn on what the alternative would be – simply repeating that he has no interest in leaving the region. Except for short visits, that is. Brookfarm are not the only locals visiting Melbourne to exhibit at the Fine Food Festival. Baraka Foods (makers of dips, based in Bilinudgel) are making their third visit, and The Byron Bay Cookie Company have been more than 20 times – all promoting this area’s food wares to the wider world.

The Good Life An ode to dishwashers Story and photos by Vivienne Pearson It’s true that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I have never appreciated an electrical appliance so much until my dishwasher was out of action for three whole weeks. I did load after load of dishes. My entire kitchen bench space was draped with tea-towels, and they, in turn, were covered with a sculptural mass of glasses, plates, cutlery and pots. My plight got me thinking about cafes and restaurants and the overwhelming number of dishes that they have to deal with, day in, day out. What about the people employed as dishwashers, who turn take the dirty dishes we leave behind and return them as clean, shining pieces of crockery and cutlery, ready for the next person. Are they appreciated, like I now appreciate my dishwasher? Or do the old days of kitchen hierarchies and ‘dish pig’ denigration still exist? I visited a couple of local eateries to find out. In all three, I was happy to find a culture of respect between ‘dishies’, chefs, frontof-house staff and owners. I also found some fascinating stories

Byron Bay Brewery re-opens its doors Sean, Miguel and Dan (Republik) a dishwasher. Owner Steven Kirkpatrick started in the bar equivalent – as a ‘glassie’ (someone who collects and washes empty glasses). This is a team who truly know what it’s like to walk in each other’s shoes.

OTHER JOINT CAFE

Stephen and Ayano – (Fins)

FINNS RESTAURANT Steven Snow, owner and head chef at Fins Restaurant, has full respect for his dishwashers. ‘It’s a hard job, with lots of pressure,’ he says. ‘If a dishwasher is no good, everything falls over.’ He goes further: ‘A dishwasher is more important than a line chef.’ Steven learned this lesson very early – he was in fact a dishwasher in his first restaurant job. ‘I quit doing Commerce and Law at uni to make entrees and be a dishy,’ he recalls. Fins employs a specific dishwasher for most shifts but Steven notes that apprentices and even fully qualified chefs are called on for dishes duty, especially during quieter mid-week nights. I meet Ayano Fukuhara, a dishwasher at Fins since June. She came to Fins with no hospitality experience; in fact she worked as a skateboard designer in her home country of Japan. She acknowledges that the job can be boring at times but says she enjoys working with, and being respected by, the Fins team. ‘Everyone is so kind and friendly. They say thank you,’ she says.

Another team with great respect for each other’s roles is at Mullumbimby’s Other Joint cafe. Benjamin Wajcman works three days each week as a dishwasher. He happily does tasks that are a far cry from his previous work – as a biosecurity officer. ‘Equine ‘flu arrived on my second shift!’ he recalls. Benjamin stuck with customs work for 12 years before taking a tree-change-enabling redundancy package. He credits the team for keeping him happy at work. ‘They are generous, passionate and happy,’ he says. He also genuinely enjoys the work. ‘It is consuming,’ he describes. ‘I’m in the moment – it’s mindful.’ Another benefit mentioned by all three dishwashers I spoke to is the food. ‘There’s coffee on tap,’ Benjamin says happily. ‘And I love taste-testing dishes – Chef Dave’s risottos are particularly amazing!’ The Other Joint co-owner, Eva Polo-Angeli, is happy whenever she needs to take a turn on dishes duty. ‘It used to be frowned upon but I’ve never had a problem with doing dishes,’ she says. ‘It’s kind of a refuge, it can even be therapeutic.’ Eva recalls a job she had in a busy Sydney restaurant: ‘The one day the dishy called in sick, the place fell apart.’

Following a three month extensive refurbishment, the Byron Bay Brewery is ready to reopen its doors on Friday September 16th, 2016. Gordon Treanor, Craft Director at Lion, said the venue will continue to offer the highest quality, fresh and flavoursome craft beers as part of a reinvigorated food and beverage experience and would remain an integral part of the Byron community into the future. ‘We are excited to open the doors to the Brewery and share the revitalised space with locals and visitors alike. We believe we have developed a high-quality yet accessible food and beverage experience that showcases what the Byron region has to offer. We also know how important the Brewery is to the local region and we are looking forward to finding new and innovative ways to engage the community and give back to those who continue to support us’. Local craft beers will be brewed onsite, according to Head Brewer Alastair Gillespie, who has been with the Byron Bay Brewery since June 2015. ‘I’ve seen the work that’s gone into the renovation and I can’t wait for people to come in and see how great it looks. Anyone who pops in will really enjoy the new experience on offer and I am really looking forward to brewing some of the popular ales made at the brewery over the years and also sharing some new lagers.’

I can tell you that when my dishwasher ‘called in sick’, my house fell apart. The only upside from my three weeks of being dishwasher-less is that I dedicated some time to teaching my daughter how to wash dishes. It turns out that she’s good at it – methodical and careful. She’s a bit young for a paying job but I now suspect that a career in hospitality, starting with dishwashing, might be on the cards.

REPUBLIK RESTAURANT Another restaurant with a team who appreciate their dishwasher based on experience is Byron Bay’s Republik Restaurant and Bar. Dishwasher Dan Calvo spoke of the need to find a rhythm in his role as dishwasher. ‘It gets hectic at times – you need to have a regular inflow and outflow,’ he says. Like Ayano, it is the team that keeps him happy while at the sink. ‘We know how to crack down and get to business but everyone is goofy and a lot of fun.’ Republik chef Miguel Guardix started in the same building (under a different business) as a dishwasher and progressed through kitchenhand duties to cheffing. Head chef, Sean Meehan started working at age 15 as a… you guessed it…

THE LION’S FRESH ROAR

L-FRESH THE LION IS RENOWNED FOR HIS POWERFUL PRESENCE, INSPIRING LIVE SHOWS A N D T H O U G H T - P R O V O K I N G LY R I C I S M . In a short time, the Western Sydney artist has gone from underground community events and ciphers to national tours and festivals. He is an MC with a sense of purpose and self-belief and will be playing the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

Tell me about the place where these two intersect. They intersect in me. I am the embodiment of it. A brown, bearded, turbaned Sikh rocking a black hoodie and hi-tops with a mic in my hand.

As an MC, what are the issues or the What are the major challenges for you, stories that you want people to hear? navigating two very different cultures? I’m all for giving people a complete picture. We have a tendency to see This is a tough question to answer in a things in black and white, but there’s so short paragraph. many important colours in between that I deeply explore this question on my complete the story. new album, BECOME, and even then it sometimes feels like an introduction. This has been my life experience: navigating, not just two, but many different cultures as they meet in me. It’s not an experience that’s unique to me; it’s one that is common to many Australians, whether they’re conscious of it or not. My album explores it from my point of view as I tell stories from my life. There’re moments of pure strength, resilience and power, which contrast with those moments of weakness, vulnerability and tension.

Let’s get into the nitty gritty, the complex, the uncomfortable, the honest and the vulnerable. Those stories make art special. How did you get started? I started out making beats and writing raps in my bedroom after days at school. I spent every afternoon working on music. Once I had enough songs, I got up on any stage I could find to perform them. I started at age 14 and haven’t stopped since then.

Who are the musicians who influence you? I’m influenced by a wide range of music from traditional Sikh music as introduced to me by my parents through to all styles of hip-hop. From Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill and Public Enemy through to Tupac Shakur, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, The Roots, Kendrick Lamar, Nas and J Cole. I’ll listen to anything, learn from it and then build. What do you want to do to your audience? Simply put, my music is all about movement and I want my audience to reflect that. When people hear my music, I want them to move physically, mentally and emotionally. I’m trying to get you to move, think and feel at the same time. What should we expect for your show at The Hotel Great Northern? Expect a lot of energy, passion and positivity! I’ll have my seven-piece band with me so it’ll be vibes, that’s for sure! Mirrah (my hype MC) sometimes describes our show as a workout for everyone who’s there. There is a lot of movement!

Seeing Bluesfest 2017 feature act Nikki Hill sing her arse off is a whiplash moment. This woman does things to songs that probably aren’t even legal. Ms Hill got up close and personal with the songs that mean something to her. What is the one song that reminds you of growing up, and why? Little Red Corvette was on a mixtape of a friend of mine in middle school. We hit it off in homeroom, and started going to live shows and getting into trouble together, sneaking out of town, cutting each other’s hair in the bathroom at school, and all of that. She had this mixtape that was punk rock and 80s stuff. We would play each other new tapes/ CDs of bands we liked, but that mixtape was always the go-to. Driving around with nothing to do but blast this tape and harmonise to the songs together was one of our favourite things. We’re still friends and those moments are just as important as a lot of the wild shit we did! What is/are the song/s that get you on the dancefloor every time? If Al Jackson Jr or Howard Grimes or Phil Rudd played drums on it, I’m on the dancefloor. Plain and simple! What is/are the song/s that are always busted out when no-one is around? Why? Tom Jones singing It’s Not Unusual. Although I would play this with people around too. It’s a catchy song. Tom Jones is a killer singer, and sexy as hell, and if you grew up in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air era like I did, that song holds a special place. We all know the ‘Carlton dance’! What is/are the song/s on high rotation in your car at the moment?

Jodi Martin has always focused on the coalface: songs and people.

Another night he threw her clothes outside and locked her out of the house. That night we slept in the bush behind our house. There was nowhere to go. No-one wanted to get involved. We had neighbours just 20 metres away on both sides, the police station was maybe 100 metres away, but no-one ever came to see if we were okay. We had no phone. It didnâ€™t matter because there wasnâ€™t anyone to call. She had her collarbone broken. She had black eyes. He pushed her. He threatened to kill her. Home was hell. I canâ€™t even explain what it feels like to not feel safe where you live. To be terrified of your own front door. As a small child I lived with a heavy sense of dread. Every day. It was no wonder I ended up with OCD. I was the child at preschool who never wanted to be picked up. I remember thinking that everyone lived like this. I thought every family had a monster who broke doors down with chairs while you were sleeping. Who punched holes in walls. Who came home with cops in hot pursuit screaming for his gun: â€˜Thereâ€™s only one way out of this â€“

â€˘

As a kid my childhood is cleaved in two. BD and AD. Thatâ€™s before the death and after the death of my father. I was six when he drove his powder-blue Valiant into the oncoming car of what I was to later discover was a school friendâ€™s grandfather, killing him as well. Of course he was drunk. He didn't drive any other way. The police came to our house to deliver the news and I quietly watched it all play out while the adults in my life sobbed and writhed in a spectacular hysteria. It was like watching TV with the sound off. I was small but I understood what being dead was. He wasnâ€™t coming back. Ever. Good. Better than Christmas. I didnâ€™t cry. I didnâ€™t ever experience grief. Only profound relief. This was the day I had prayed to arrive. And it had. I remember taking my motherâ€™s hand and whispering, â€œItâ€™s okay, Mummy, at least now weâ€™ll have peaceâ€™. She remembers that, too. A kind of chilling thing for a child to say on learning of the death of her father.

Back in 1974 in regional Australia there were no domesticviolence services. There were no refuges. No counselling lines. There were no safety strategies. No-one ever turned up to see if you were okay. I was a child who wasnâ€™t afraid of monsters. Nothing was more terrifying than the monster I lived with. My dad was a classic Jekyll and Hyde alcoholic. When sober he was warm and affectionate and funny. When drunk he was cruel and violent. He was a binge drinker. Heâ€™d drink past being wobbly or embarrassing; heâ€™d drink for days headlong into full-scale blackout. It was a madness. He wasnâ€™t slurring or stumbling. He was demonic. You wouldnâ€™t have known he was drunk. He was a tower of rage seeking to torment my poor mother. To humiliate her. To degrade her. One night he smashed all her things on the floor. He held up each piece of crockery and would ask â€˜who gave you this?â€™ And sheâ€™d say â€˜my fatherâ€™. She loved her father and heâ€™d just died so then my dad would smash the plate on the floor. Then he held up the next piece and repeated the question, â€˜Who gave you this?â€™ until the

Iâ€™m going to shoot my way outâ€™. That day Mum had taken the gun and hidden it. If she hadnâ€™t acted on that impulse Iâ€™m certain that day would have ended with his shooting us and then himself. About 12 cops tranquillised him and dragged him out. But it didnâ€™t stop the violence. It continued. It escalated. He was never charged. There were no violence orders. Either weâ€™d die or he would. Luckily for us it was him. I finally had a chance at a childhood. A lot has changed in the 40plus years, and thanks to people such as Rosie Batty, domestic violence is no longer seen as a â€˜privateâ€™ issue. Itâ€™s moved to the forefront of the public domain. Domestic violence is now a political issue. And it should be. These days women have options. With innovative strategies such as Staying Home Leaving Violence, instead of women being removed the violent offender is removed. Police and workers engage in safety meetings to assess risk levels. There are programs for violent men. There are places to go. There is support. And there is a growing conversation asking bigger questions about domestic violence, and how we, as a community, perpetuate a hypermasculine culture that continues to support it. But even with that, women are still dying. Two a week. We need to get that statistic down to zero.

NATIONAL TOUR

BANGALOW BOWLO SAT 17 SEPT, 8PM with special guest ROBYN MARTIN

Been listening to Lee Mosesâ€™s Time and Place album on repeat. Adorable One just tears me up! Iggy Pop and the Stoogesâ€™ Search and Destroy, Amy Winehouseâ€™s Just Friends, Seratonesâ€™ Chandelier, Gary Clark Jrâ€™s The Healing and Toots and the Maytals has probably been my go-to for the past, well, forever. Iâ€™m really studying Tootsâ€™s singing style right now. I just saw him live for the first time this summer, and I was so blown away. Iâ€™ll definitely never forget the impact his sound had on me! What was your wedding song (or what would it be)? Our wedding song was Otis Reddingâ€™s I Love You More Than Words Can Say. Your favourite song/s to cover at the moment? You Canâ€™t Put Your Arms Around a Memory. If you could sing a duet with anyone dead or alive who would it be and what would be the song?

Letâ€™s do alive and dead because this is just killing me, okay? For someone no longer with us, I would have loved to do a duet with Lemmy. I think doing a rockâ€™nâ€™roll version of No Good Lover by Mickey and Sylvia would have been so much fun. Alive, from my gigantic list of dreams, I would say Mavis Staples. I would sing whatever the hell she told me to, because I donâ€™t really think Mavis could steer me or anyone wrong. Your all time rockâ€™nâ€™roll hero isâ€Ś? Why? Sister Rosetta Tharpe â€“ She could walk the walk, talk the talk, was incredibly innovative, emotive, and passionate about her music, and looked good while doing it. Sheâ€™s a pioneer as far as Iâ€™m concerned. Nikki Hill is one of the incredible artists playing Bluesfest in 2017. To find out more about the program go to bluesfest.com.au.

FROM BANDSTAND TO BALLINA Jade Hurley OAM, with more gold, platinum, and double-platinum albums than he can count, forged a career that has left him with legendary status in a tough and demanding industry. From Six Oâ€™Clock Rock and Bandstand to his own regular segment on The Mike Walsh Show, Midday with Ray Martin and Kerri Anne, to now regular guest appearances on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton on the TEN Network along with many others, he has always, over all of these years, been in huge demand. Still, after decades of touring, Jade performs to packed houses, audiences of all ages and to standing ovations. His â€˜over the topâ€™ flamboyant costumes and performances coupled with his unique ability to mix his classic rockâ€™nâ€™roll hits with country music brings every audience to its feet.

Growing talent at the grassroots is what Mullumbimby Music Festival is all about.

GYAN â€“ THE LONG WAY HOME It ends where it began. Gyan will wrap up this yearâ€™s Australian tour at Byron Theatre on Saturday, celebrating This Girlâ€™s In Love, her latest successfully crowdfunded album produced locally at Museagency studios. With international performance and songwriting credits, including Ricky Martin and Leanne Rimes, as well as divers awards including an ARIA, Sydney Theatre Award for Sydney Opera House shows with Leunig, and short-listed by the Childrenâ€™s Book Council, Gyan remains artistically true while maintaining a strong career parallel to, but not quite in, the mainstream. This Girlâ€™s In Love is an artistâ€™s odyssey into the musical minds of the singers and composers she has always admired. This perfectly crafted collection features classic and less-familiar love songs plucked from the songbooks of great composers from Burt Bacharach and Henry Mancini to John Lennon and Tom Waits. Focus tracks are: Johnny Guitar by Peggy Lee/Victor Young, Tumbleweed by Neil Young and a pared-back version of her hit single from 1989, Wait. Byron Theatre on Saturday. Tickets at the venue.

As a region that strongly identifies as music focused, many of our kids have grown up at festivals. Some were even conceived there! Their parents are musicians. They grow up not listening to radio, but live music. Sleeping behind the PA at gigs out in the hills. Or at five years of age theyâ€™re up the front dancing at a Sunday arvo live band at the pub. When your love for music is seeded like this the breadth and depth of young talent in our area is no surprise. For young musicians seeking to find a path in the music industry, a mentor can be life changing.Â Winners of each section receive a double pass to the 2016 event, a one-hour mentorship with their category mentor, and they get to play this yearâ€™s festival. With hundreds of festival applications each year, this is a huge opportunity for anyone wanting to make their mark. The 2016 Youth Mentorship entry categories and mentors are:Â Band â€“ Mentor: Natalli Rize (AUS/JAM) Singer/songwriter â€“ Suzannah Espie Vocal â€“ Shelly Brown Under-15 â€“ Chris MalloryÂ For the first time, a WILD CARD entrant will also be selected. So, if youâ€™re a budding artist 21 years or younger, entries are open now at www. mullummusicfestival.com. For more information phone 6684 6195.

KILLING ME SOFTLY

– A PLAY ABOUT A DAUGHTER’S SUICIDE Just last week was ‘R U OK’ day – a day that promotes suicide prevention by reminding people to have those difficult conversations with the people around us about how they are travelling.

Mark’s last show How Deep Is Your Love? took him onto LNL with Philip Adams and the Solomon Islands on an aid project (along with 30 shows from Darwin to Melbourne) so god knows where this project will end up! Mark Swivel is a writer and performer (and lawyer, bless him). His last show How Deep Is Your Love? played 30 times, touring to Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Darwin, Mullum and a former nudist colony in Gympie! His play Water Falling Down was on at QTC in Brisbane and B Street, Sacramento in 2011–12.

Depression and suicide are the key themes in ’Night Mother, the powerful two-woman play being presented at the Drill Hall by actors Linda Rutledge and Amanda Sebasio-Ong and director Alka (Penelope Chater). The trio chose the piece because they wanted to present something meaningful. ‘I like deep and challenging,’ says Linda, who admits that a piece of substance that featured just two female actors was surprisingly difficult to find.

MARK SWIVEL PRESENTS DAD. JOKE. 2 AT THE MULLUMBIMBY EX-SERVICES ON FRIDAY Mark took Jeremy Boutsakis to Edinburgh in 2007. He moved to Mullum in 2013, is a director of Spaghetti Circus and very proud member of Mullum’s leading all-male Russian choir Dustyesky. In Dad. Joke. Swiv, as Mark is known, is writing a speech for his son’s 21st and needs help! Lots. Come on a free dive into the absurd heart of Swiv’s family, politics and banana muffins. It’s a middle-aged man’s hilarious howl of rage and joy. Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club (Club Mullum), Friday 7pm, Tix: $10 at door or online at www.mullumexservices.com. au/what-s-on.

between feeling something and going all the way.’ Linda was excited to be working with Mandy again. ‘I love Mandy’s work – she is really present and she listens so that it’s really fresh and different every time. I think it needs to be like that, because different thoughts come up, and so different feelings emerge and that feeds into the performance.’

This is sure to be an evocative and moving piece, as both the actors and director are known for their skill with delivering This is the story of a mother and daughter brought together emotionally intense and authentic performances. In this case, by grief, and in the end torn apart by it. they all feel extremely passionate about the piece because ‘They have both lost their husbands, that's why they are living they believe the subject matter is so important. together. The whole thing is around fear and around loss and ‘There is a lot of shame around suicide and mental health grief.

TAURUS: For the coming twelve months, Jupiter in your service sector exerts its friendly influence on co-workers, colleagues and your social support system, adding creativity and pleasure to what you do, how you do it and who you do it with. Caution? The Big J sets an abundant, indulgent table, so keep an eye on the calories.

GEMINI: Mercury retrograde in purging Virgo offers a fabulous chance to slow down and edit repetitive thought processes for a cleansing clear-out of mental habit patterns and some healing peace of mind. The reward? Jupiter in your house of fun for the coming year. Think Gemini Mike Myers as Austin Powers: Yeah, baaaaby!

ARIES: Jupiter visiting your zone of alliances promises a

s r a t S with Lilith With this week’s sky story featuring grand sugar daddy of the cosmos, Jupiter, joining Venus in the sign of peace, justice and the arts, what’s not to love…?

year-long boost of goodwill and growth opportunities, though as always, conditions apply: which are first cleaning house for your influential guest. This week recommends a dose of self-enquiry, followed by a course of rearranging your internal furniture, as in attitudes and strategies.

CANCER: Home’s where a Crab’s heart is, so what could be more fortunate than auspicious Jupiter’s moving into your family sector? Make the most of its stay by deleting some boring old ingrained behaviours to make room for expansion: of your living quarters, extended tribe – and waistline unless you’re careful.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians coalesce information into beliefs and world views, which are after all only your personal opinions. Be extra-vigilant when emailing, tweeting or posting on social media while Mercury’s retrograde, because this week poetic licence or proselytising isn’t likely to be appreciated. Good news? Jupiter in easy-pleasy Libra for the coming year…

CAPRICORN: Capricorn Paul Kelly co-wrote the song From Little Things Big Things Grow, your personal anthem while Mercury in the sign of analytical sorting and sifting makes slow but incremental progress on self-improvement. All necessary prep for the coming twelve months of Jupiter boosting your career ambitions and professional reputation.

LEO: Jupiter presiding over your zone of ideas, information exchange and local events looks set to beef up the bank balance and heat up your flirting skills. So what do you need to bring to this party table? Charm, smarts, graciousness, gratitude, consideration, appreciation and praise – in short, your best game, majesties. VIRGO: This week’s a mixed bag of good news combined with perplexing disinformation and misunderstandings, but insisting things be a certain way only sets you up for disappointment. With Jupiter supporting your values, physicality and everyday routines, you’ll locate the sweet spot by getting stuck into taking care of the small stuff. LIBRA: With the planetary bonanza of beneficent Jupiter in Libra joining up with Venus, goddess of pash, the urge to merge could be insistent – making this week’s brief to use that word of two letters and one syllable you hate saying. And distance yourself from people of dubious character or questionable loyalty.

For mother of twins Ellen Briggs, becoming a comedian happened by accident. ‘I started writing a book. The content was getting funnier and funnier and I realised that no-one was going to buy my book and so I went and did Mandy’s comedy course. I didn’t tell anyone and honestly never thought about a career in standup, but the very first time I got up I loved it. I clearly needed the attention. It hasn’t changed now!’

More than a decade on Ellen is one of the most exciting comedians on the circuit. While she headlines across the country in major metropolitan venues, it’s the country gigs that she loves best. ‘I’m a country girl so I feel at home there,’ says Ellen. ‘People feel more real and open minded to me than inner-city people. They seem more relaxed and ready to have fun because, let’s face it, often the only entertainment they get is tribute bands and magicians! Not that there’s anything wrong with magicians – they just freak me out. Ooh, and I also love the big breakfasts you get in regional cities and towns – loads of gluten, butter and dairy. You can’t get any of that in the cities these days! And the men with beards and flanellettes aren’t those creepy hipsters – they are proper farmers. I think farmers are sexy.’ Being a woman on the circuit is certainly an eye opener. ‘I listen to some of these blokes talk about how busy their lives are, having to work an hour a night, then go back to their lives where they have no responsibility, and it’s hilarious. I’ve often been up since 6.30am, exercised, got kids to school, cleaned the house, done grocery

AQUARIUS: With Jupiter in your adventure sector for the foreseeable future, life-expanding experiences are already percolating in the pipeline, Aquarius. So no need to push, especially when the impetus to act this week might override your inner tactometer. Boldness definitely isn’t your best friend right now – sensitivity is. PISCES: This isn’t shaping up to win any medals for September’s easiest week, with Friday’s full-moon lunar eclipse in your sign highlighting the perennial Piscean tug of war between what’s ideal and what’s real. Best practical strategy? Praise rather than blame – everyone responds more willingly to compliments than criticism.

shopping, admin for our business and some farm work before I’ve even got to the gig! Busy my arse!’ The two-hour feast of standup comedy gluttony that is Women Like Us has been packing houses and ruining mascara up and down the coast. Ellen believes it’s testament to the fact that she and Mandy really are ‘Women Like Us’. ‘We can connect with people because we are tapping into their everyday struggles about parenting, marriage, how women are perceived in society, what we eat, what we watch on TV and what we thought our lives would be like! Men are always surprised at how much they enjoy the show – I mean funny is funny as far as I’m concerned; whether you’re male or female is irrelevant. Women love us because we speak directly to them about their lives and men love us because they can see their partners in us… Oh, and they’re glad they’re not married to us!’ Women Like Us takes the stage at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre Friday 23 September. 18+ Tix are $30 either at the club or online at byroncentre.com.au.

ENTERTAINMENT VIRGIN SACRIFICE HEATS UP The latest crop of standup comedians are busy writing their routines and preparing for their big first standup cherry-popping night. Fifteen people from around the community have spent the last month pushing those comfort zones, delving into their deep subconscious, revealing their idiosyncrasies in what promises to be a crazy night of show and tell.

I think that is what makes the end performance so exciting!’ Mandy Nolan hosts Virgin Sacrifice – the standup comedy graduation – at the Byron Services Club on Monday 26 September at 8pm. Tickets are $10/15 and are available at the door or by booking on 6619 0529.

After twenty years of teaching standup comedy, teacher Mandy Nolan never tires of the thrill: ‘I love it,’ she says. ‘People never cease to amaze me. They have such courage. It’s terrifying, it’s risky, and they’re standing on the precipice shaking like a leaf.

cinema Reviews CAPTAIN FANTASTIC SULLY

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

I recall Margaret Pomeranz, when reviewing Grand Torino (2008), suggesting that as a director, Clint Eastwood spoke more directly to men than to women. It was not meant as a criticism, merely an observation… and I have come to think that perhaps Margaret was right, for my lady companion thought this was good, while I thought it outstanding. Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger was the pilot who landed that airliner on the Hudson River back in 2009.

We are all familiar with the incident itself, but its immediate aftermath of hearings and investigations into Sully’s actions is less well known. That all 155 souls aboard the plane survived seemed at times to be of less importance to officialdom than being able to nail Sully for making an inappropriate or even careless response to the crisis.

Ben (Viggo Mortensen) is the domineering patriarch of his own isolated tribe – not that he would admit to being such. He and his six home-schooled kids enjoy an escapist, face-painted, deer-slaughtering ‘alternative lifestyle’ in the forested mountains of Colorado. Tragedy strikes their cocooned idyll when the children’s mother, already hospitalised for psychiatric treatment, commits suicide, prompting a trip to the burbs of middleAmerica for them to attend her funeral. If you have been over-exposed to the double standards and piety of our region’s remnant and new-gen hippies, you might not easily take to heart Ben’s righteous crusade against contemporary society – as gifts, he gives the youngsters forged-steel hunting knives. I found him as irritating as I did inspiring – certainly he is drawn with more sympathy by director Matt Ross than was Paul Theroux/Peter Weir’s unhinged Allie Fox in the much more nuanced and challenging The Mosquito Coast (1986). Ben’s family’s emergence into the evil empire, travelling in an antiquated Ken Kesey bus, is accompanied by a spinetingling rendition of Scotland the Brave – which makes you think in hindsight that it’s always a shame when the highlight of a movie comes halfway through.

This is fertile ground for Eastwood, who is not so much concerned with overblown heroism as he is with his character(s) understanding what needs to be done and having the self-assurance and courage to do it.

ferry captains and others, including the city of New York itself, all contributed. Tom Hanks is faultless as the man whose integrity and judgment is questioned to the point that he has visions of the fiery catastrophe that might have eventuated had he made the wrong call, while in the part of his co-pilot Jeff Skiles, Aaron Eckhardt shows appropriate understatement as the unwavering off-sider. Building slowly and with great deliberation towards Sully’s vindication, Eastwood’s remarkable output continues with what is a celebration of the human spirit.

At 86, he retains the clearest eye for seeing the essence of a story and, with a lifetime’s experience in the business, has an unerring understanding of the weight of any given scene – in this case, the evacuation from the aircraft, the movie’s centrepiece, is filmed with incredible emotional impact. As one who has forever been a champion of the rugged individual, he is also at pains here to stress that the aversion of disaster was a collaborative triumph to which air-crew, the NYPD,

A lot of soft targets are hit in a diatribe aimed at an America that is ‘under-educated and over-medicated’, not that it is entirely lacking in self-awareness. Ben reminds the kids that ‘we don’t make fun of people’, to which the eldest daughter replies ‘except Christians’. It would be more palatable if each of Ben’s offspring weren’t such terribly attractive intellectual diamonds, able to recite the Bill of Rights at the age of eight, as opposed to the in-laws’ boys who are as thick as two planks. There is a discomfiting preachiness in tone, but I appreciated Mortensen’s performance as a bloke whom I didn’t warm too – alpha males are generally a pain in the arse – and the summation of Nabokov’s Lolita by daughter Vespyr (Annalise Basso) is spot-on. All of the child actors are wonderful, but the ending is unsatisfying for its cuteness.

Surprise, surprise! Meet the real DUSKY (Murphy last week - still waiting). If black cats needed an ambassador then they would appoint DUSKY, the young fellow who radiates good will. Just out of kittenhood, Dusky has had a tough trot, an unwanted orphan from the school of hard knocks. But that has only increased his need to interact with whoever stops by. Dusky is very friendly, easygoing and physical. Just loves to give and receive affection. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Please make an appointment 0403 533 589 • Billinudgel petsforlifeanimalshelter.net

Bella & Jimmy Jimmy is an 8-year-old desexed male foxy x and Bella is a 7-year-old desexed female Jack Russell x. Jimmy loves to play ball and Bella is a couch potato but they love each other despite their differences. If you can give Jimmy and Bella a permanent, loving home please contact the Friends of the Pound Rehoming Centre on 07 5524 8590 or Pam on 0421 017 461. Visit friendsofthepound.com to view other dogs and cats looking for a home.

It’s raining cats & dogs! Well, almost... Every year many thousand unwanted cats and dogs are born to pets that haven’t been desexed. And sadly, most end up being put down. So please...

Nick Shand started his own media empire from scratch but what he really wanted was to be a sporting champ. Nineteen years after his death the grass-stained gladiators of the social cricket comp that bears his name spend each winter buffing their boxes, polishing their pads and waving the willow in pursuit of that ineffable moment of sporting glory. This year’s grand final matched the thoroughly workshopped socialites of Byron, the Full-Tossers, veterans of countless rebirthings; against the teak-hard clannish hill-folk of Left Bank, honed by generations of vicious infighting for the control of gullies where only yowies go. Lomath Oval shone like a jewel in a sanitation worker’s ear, as Ash of Byron won the toss and asked the Bankers to bat. Openers Scruff and Russell started well enough for the Bankers but both fell victim to undervaluing the assets of Wayno (2/16). Fast Eddie’s whippy leggies and the sure hands of Adam saw the Tossers throbbing along nicely early. Bruce’s controversial

Byron Bay FC’s Northern Hotel Premier Reserves and Rails Hotel Third Division teams turned on some thrilling football in last Saturday’s semifinals. The thirds set the pace, with a brisk and hard fought battle with Eureka. Byron’s goalkeeping coach, Damien Smith put in an extraordinary performance to keep the Rams 2–0 up well into the second half. After one of many superb saves, Eureka pounced on a deflection to get back in the hunt at 2–1. The Rams turned up the heat in the closing stages and an amazing backvolley from Pete Link made it 3–1 and sealed a berth in the Third Division grand final for the Byron boys. Veteran keeper Damien Smith backed up for his second match of the day and put in an even more impressive showing in the Reserve Grade match. Will Ennis opened the scoring three minutes in when a hand ball in the box yielded a penalty to the Rams. Kari Isaac was next

dismissal had known freewheeler Sean (37no) at the crease earlier than anyone would have expected; forced into a rare state of responsibility he teamed up with youngster Hamish (27) and the pair began to grind out a total for the beleaguered Bankers. For their part the Tossers just couldn’t keep their hands off the ball and wickets to the J-team (Jamie, Jabez, Jean and Janny) saw the innings closed for an abbreviated 145 and celebrity commentator Davo Duckworth searching for superlatives. The Tossers were only a few firm strokes away from a memorable climax to the season. Byron openers Dutchy and Zac showed plenty of intent early but scalps to Sean

and Scruff and a diving catch from Rob kept the Bankers solvent. Jamie (31no) and Adam (30no) then slapped up a partnership of 70 runs either side of drinks as the spirited Tossers showed they were there to make a fist of proceedings. Their retirements ushered Eddie (31no) to the crease who batted the blistering Byronites to victory in emphatic style with nine full overs to spare. With due ceremony the fabled trophy was unearthed and libations and tributes were shared to mark the season’s many highlights. Then it was down to the essential business of wildly exaggerating cricketing deeds and abilities, and anticipating the 20th season next year.

on the board for Byron with a terrific strike from the corner of the box. Byron went into the break with a 2–0. A beautifully taken free kick put Goonellabah back in the match in the second half and with ten minutes on the clock the Hornets took advantage of a goal-mouth fumble to equalise. With the grand final spot back in play, both sides stepped up a gear and had the big crowd on their feet. The scores remained locked at two apiece at the final whistle and the match

went into extra time. Both sides dug deep, but the action was dominated by the Rams. A long-range free kick from Ben Ahern found the gleaming head of Bruce Morhaus in the box and the Rams legend slid home the match decider. Bruce’s header secured a 3–2 win and a place in this week’s Grand Final. The Reserves play rivals Richmond Rovers, at Oakes oval on Saturday at 4.15. The Third Division grand final: Oakes Oval in Lismore this Friday night at 8pm.

Glory for Mullum but heartbreak Local league for Byron Bay in rugby finals juniors shine The Mullumbimby Moonshiners rugby union team has claimed the 2016 reserve grade championship after beating the Ballina Seahorses 20–17 in the grand final last Saturday afternoon. In first-grade grand final the Byron Rugby team lost to the Wollongbar-Alstonville Pioneers 14–8, after leading for much of the game. It was a tough loss for the team that has dominated the competition for much of the season. The win for the Mullumbimby Reserves was a result of hard work and superior fitness and brought to an end ‘a lean period of roughly 10 years,’ according to team manager Nick Bird. ‘We were the better team on the day, physically fitter,’ he said, ‘despite the team’s youth and lack of experience in big matches.’ The Moonshiners took an early lead in the game played at Lismore’s Crozier Park, but Ballina soon fought back and went to the break ahead 17–12. The Mullum side showed their mettle and scored a try to even the scores, before moving into the lead through

the penalty boot of Corey Jolly with less than ten minutes to play. Mullumbimby spent the last period in high defensive mode and were able to keep a determined Ballina at bay. Better fitness and hunger on the day were also due to the efforts of the coaching staff, Satuala Siamoa and Stuart Coleman, Nick said. ‘They moulded them into a good team, and were able to get the best out of each player,’ he said.

The result also reflected the effort all the players put in through a long season and a commitment to training. It was also gratifying that plenty in the team had made their way up though the junior ranks, he said.

The Bay falls at final hurdle In the first grade final Byron scored a try and converted a penalty to lead at the break 8–7, after the Pioneers

scored an early converted try. The game remained locked in an intense contest for much of the second half until the Wollongbar side was able to capitalise on a loose ball and runaway to score the decisive try. Despite a renewed effort from the forward pack Byron couldn’t find a way through the Pioneers’ defence to claim the points they needed to bring home their first premiership trophy.

Transplant veteran looks for more gold Kingscliff local Peter Prichard is gearing up to celebrate his extended ‘second chance’ at life by participating in next month’s Australian Transplant Games. Peter, 76, received a lifesaving liver transplant in 1997 and has been a keen and winning competitor at the games, in Australia and internationally, ever since. Highlights include win-

ning gold in lawn bowls at Japan (2001), France (2002) and Canada (2007). Peter will celebrate 20 years of living with his new liver in May next year. ‘It was a life saver, before the transplant I couldn’t even walk,’ he said. The Transplant Games are a great way of meeting up with other people with transplants.

‘Some have had heart or lung transplants, others are as young as six. But they are all grateful they got a second chance,’ he said. Peter is a member of the Cudgen Leagues Club, where he bowls up to three times a week as part of his general fitness routine. ‘It is my main game at my age,’ he said. Transplants have also been given to his brother and one of his nephews. The family – Peter is one of 13 children – knows just how important transplants are to keeping families together. Transplant Australia will

stage the Australian Transplant Games, a biannual event, from September 24 till October 1 in Western Sydney to promote the benefits of donation and transplantation. Organisers are asking people to join the Australian Organ Donor Register online by visiting donatelife.gov.au. ‘For every Australian willing to one day save lives, joining the register is the clearest message a person can give their family that, in the event of their death, they have made a decision to leave a legacy donation to save the lives of other Australians,’ Transplant Australia said.

It’s only two years since the Lennox Head Dolphins and the Devils merged at Junior level, but on Saturday at the Tweed Seagulls’ ground, they found themselves in their first grand final against Goup 18 heavyweights, Bilambil. They were in it up to their necks until the final siren, falling short of the ultimate prize 22–20. As first-timers in the coaching-training roles, first-graders Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer and Joey ‘the Senator’ McCarthy were more tense than their charges as kick-off drew nearer. The boys themselves, who had beaten Bilambil in their first clash in the 15th round comp but fallen to them in their recent semi, displayed all of the nerves and anxiety that you would expect from kids their age – which is to say, they had none. The shed was full of good cheer and excitement, with only the old blokes in attend-

ance exhibiting any indication of being affected by the occasion. The game itself was an absolute cracker – it’s just a pity that the ref wanted to be such a big part of it. With all the ball and a territorial advantage, Bilambil scored first, but Lennox-Byron soon found their feet. Jedd Windle and Jasper Graham nabbed a couple of meat pies before oranges and when five-eighth Desmond Ferguson ran a mile after taking an intercept, they were ahead 16–10. Bilambil struck back with a last-minute try to Will James, to win. It was a game of the highest quality, played hard but in a sporting spirit, with every member of the Lennox-Byron mob contributing to the team effort. The year may have been a Joe Cocker for the Red Devils’ A-graders, but with juniors such as these the future is bright. Well played, boys, and good onya, Dolly and the Senator.
