Water supply critically low

Soul Street and Falls bring in New Year

Paul Bibby

With up to 20,000 patrons attending the three-day Falls festival daily, police say they were ‘generally pleased with the behaviour of patrons.’ And for the first time, NSW Health provided drug amnesty bins at the festival entrance. A police statement said they recorded ‘50 drug detections and one drug supply offence, predominantly for MDMA.’ Cannabis, ketamine, cocaine and LSD were also detected they say. Meanwhile, an estimated 20,000 people celebrated the start of 2020 at Soul Street, on Jonson Street in Byron’s CBD. Pictured is Vera Blue, who kicked off New Years Eve at Falls. Photo Jeff Dawson

Average daily water consumption in Mullumbimby has not fallen at all despite the introduction of water restrictions, Byron Council says. Council’s director of infrastructure services and acting general manager Phil Holloway said the daily water use remained at around 270 litres of water per person per day, even though level four water restrictions have been in place for more than two weeks. The target for the region is 160 litres per person per day. ‘Since November [when water restrictions were introduced] the average water consumption per person in Mullumbimby hasn’t really diminished,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘The water supply into Lavertys Gap [Mullumbimby’s water supply] is roughly 0.5 megalitres a day, but water consumption in Mullumbimy is roughly one mega litre a day.’ ‘That’s obviously a pretty dire situation.’ Mr Holloway urged those in the community who were not limiting their water use to start doing so immediately. ‘We need to really get out there and educate the community about what we need to do, and to emphasise the importance of doing it,’ he said. ‘We need to start knocking on doors, perhaps doing a pop-up [stall] in town. ‘We need people to recognise that water is a precious resource.’

He said that Council had activated the Rous emergency water line – a pipe that connects to part of Mullumbimby from the main Rous County Council water supply. This was currently balancing out the usage in the town, but could not be guaranteed as a long- or even medium-term solution. ‘Rous County Council already has responsibility for providing supply to the rest of the Byron Shire along with Lismore, Ballina, and Evans Head,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘We can’t draw on their supply indefinitely. ‘The next step is to introduce level 5 restrictions. Obviously we’re not there yet, but if we don’t reduce our consumption and we don’t get any rain then that will become the option’.

Level 5 : supply limited Level 5 restrictions are emergency level restrictions, and can involve limiting supply to homes and businesses. Measures that locals can take to reduce water consumption include making sure your washing machine or dishwasher is full before use, no more than one short shower per day, limiting toilet flushes, turning off or fixing dripping taps, especially before going on holidays, and recycling water as much as possible. Mr Holloway said Council had not been cruising the streets looking for those breaching water restrictions, but was considering ▶ Continued on page 3

The Mullumbimby Pool would get solar heating, a hydrotherapy pool, disability access, and a kids’ ‘splash down’ area under a proposal from a local residents’ group. The Mullumbimby Residents’ Association (MRA) is hoping to make the pool a more accessible and enjoyable place that is open 12 months of the year as opposed to the existing eight-month season. The group is lobbying Byron Council, which owns the complex, to apply for state and federal government grants to fund the redevelopment. The group said in a letter sent to residents and stakeholders: ‘The Mullum pool is the only 50-metre pool in the Shire and an important focus for school events and swimmers of all ages.’ The group has also been seeking support and feedback from the local community, setting up at the Mullumbimby Markets with the plans and a petition. It is understood the group has around 700 signatures on paper and online for the project.

Water restrictions result in slight reduction Paul Bibby While water restrictions appear to be having little effect in Mullumbimby (see page 1), it is a slightly rosier picture in the region more broadly. Figures from Rous County Council show that in the first week that water restrictions were introduced in the

Ballina, Lismore, Richmond Valley, and Byron LGAs (not including Mullumbimby), the community used 33 million litres per day. This was down 15 per cent from the previous two weeks, where locals used 38 million litres per day. However, it appears that water use increased again as December went on.

The average for the whole month, up to December 24, was 34.2 million litres per day. This is slightly higher than the average use for December over the past three years, which was 34.1 million litres. Rous say they are concerned that daily water use will increase further, owing to the many tourists who come into the region over summer.

Local News Climate change protest Friday A protest in Byron’s Railway Park is planned this Friday at 10am to call for immediate action in the face of the bushfires that are devastating much of the country. Their key demands are emergency relief and support for communities affected by fires, improved consultation with and increased funding for the RFS, an immediate pledge to decrease carbon emissions, and forest regeneration and habitat repair. ‘This peaceful protest represents an opportunity to show our support for communities affected by the ongoing bushfire crisis and to demand real action on climate change,’ the group said in a statement.

Mullum’s water supply critically low: Council ▶ Continued from page 1 increasing its compliance activities. ‘It’s normally an honesty system. We haven’t got the water police out there. ‘But if you see someone who’s blatantly breaching the restrictions we

encourage you to report it to Council.’ Byron Council itself has significantly reduced its water consumption and increased its use of recycled water. ‘We’ve increased our recycled water use from one

megalitre to two megalitres,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘That’s being done through using recycled water in our toilet facilities, road works, and irrigation operations. Of additional concern is the increased use of water by

tourists visiting the Shire. ‘People are a bit more relaxed about things like water use when they’re on holidays,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘We need to get the message out there so that people know it’s an issue and to be really careful.’

Festival tents headed for Cobargo Inspired to help after fires raged through Cobargo on the NSW south coast, youth worker Nicqui Yazdi has assembled a crew to assist impacted residents. She says she was ‘shocked at the extent of the damage to this small community,’ after seeing footage posted on social media by former Byron locals Mike and Khilass Nicholas. ‘Realising that there would be lots of tents discarded from the Falls Festival, I contacted [coorganiser] Brandon Saul and asked could we potentially go in and collect tents and other camping items. Of course he said yes’. She says, ‘I then started to put a crew of volunteers together to do some sort of collection’. Yazdi says Brandon connected her with Grace, one of the Falls workers, and they set a plan in motion, which incuded recruiting volunteers to sort and load tents onto a truck. ‘Grace organised for alerts to be sent to camping patrons at the Falls Festival, via SMS and through social

Volunteers from BUDDI, the Schoolies HUB, the Community Centre and YWAM (Youth With a Mission) with Nicqui Yazdi and the Mullumbimby Removals crew. Photo Jeff ‘In Tents’ Dawson media and their own message boards, asking patrons that if they would like to donate any of their tents, and sleeping and camping goods, to pack them up nicely and take them to the campground marshals in their areas as they were leaving. ‘I contacted a few people I knew who had trucks and someone suggested calling Mullumbimby Removals, and in just one quick call it all

came together perfectly. ‘Adam from Mullumbimby Removals told me that they already had a truck headed for Cobargo, due to be there early next week, and that we would have to pack it on Friday.

Perfect timing ‘It was perfect timing for the end of the Falls Festival and the camping pack-down.

‘When the loaded truck from Mullumbimby Removals leaves the depot, the drivers won’t know what they are headed into, as these fires down south are a long way from over. ‘But their planned destination at the moment is the Cobargo Showgrounds, made infamous last week when the PM visited there on Thursday and no-one wanted to shake his hand’.

‘The idea is to share real life stories of homelessness in an attempt to foster some community understanding, empathy and support for homelessness in the Byron Shire,’ said Laili Corrigan from the Byron Community Centre.

Local News Police chase ends in drug bust A man and a woman will appear before court after allegedly ramming a police car on New Years Day. After reports of a stolen Mazda 6 sedan in Lismore, it is alleged the driver of the vehicle failed to pay for fuel at a Brunswick Heads petrol station on January 1 and was involved in two separate police pursuits near Alstonville. Police say, ‘The second pursuit was terminated after a police car was allegedly rammed, causing it to come to rest’. After the car eventually hit a tree at McLeans Ridges the pair fled by foot but were later found and arrested. Police say cannabis, tablets and ammunition were seized.

Disruptive women and the Country Witches Association On Sunday, some of the new members of the Country Witches Association met for a Sunday swim to raise money for the Women’s Resource Centre. The Boobs and Bubbles social event featured a topless swim at Torakina and is the creative coupling of musician Áine Tyrrell and comedian Mandy Nolan. Nolan says it grew out of an offhand remark, that with all the fundraising they did, they were like an aberrant version of the CWA, except more like the Country Witches Association. She says, ‘It stuck!’ ‘The girls put on a show and a group of like-minded women have started gathering around them – ready for action’. ‘We aren’t making fun of the actual CWA – we think they’re amazing – we just made a joke and it became a thing!’ Nolan says, ‘We intend to present shows, have conversations and gatherings by disruptive noisy women’.

or have been surgically augmented. ‘It’s important for women, particularly young women, to see real breasts – they’re as unique as the women who own them!’

Two upcoming gigs ‘The Country Witches Association presents two shows with Gretel Killeen: on February 1 at the Byron Brew House at the Byron Brewery and a Speak UP performance workshop to give a voice to your rage on Sunday February 2.’ More information on the events is available on mandynolan.com.au.

Quiet voters urged to celebrate while the joint burns The Byron Shire Echo Volume 34 #31 • January 8, 2020

How good is it to lose democracy? ‘I am not a big fan of the word hope, I am a big fan of the word determination. Being determined is a moral position, when you are depending on the word hope, you are lazy’ Ece Temelkuran Turkish journalist and author Ece Temelkuran knows how quickly and easily a society can collapse into tyranny from democracy. It all unfolded around 2016 from a failed coup attempt against Turkish president Erdoğan, which led to mass incarceration of tens of thousands of military personnel, academics, and judges. As one of the most read journalists in Turkey (she has 2.7m Twitter followers), her new book How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship is described as a ‘field guide to spotting the insidious patterns and mechanisms of the populist wave sweeping the globe.’ They are: 1) Create a movement; 2) Disrupt rationale/terrorise language; 3) Remove the shame: immorality is ‘hot’ in the posttruth world; 4) Dismantle judicial and political mechanisms; 5) Design your own citizen; 6) Let them laugh at the horror; and 7) Build your own country. On the positive side, the checklist that makes Australia, or indeed any Western nation, a highly educated and wealthy successful country includes a constitution, the rule of law, separation of religion and government, a free and independent press, free speech, and transparency/oversight of government operations. It’s a challenge to explain how important these essential democratic foundations are, let alone defend them in the age of populism. Temelkuran describes populism as the ‘act of politicising and mobilising ignorance to the point of political and moral insanity’. She told Vikas Shah Mbe in a September 2019 interview, available at www.thoughteconomics.com: ‘It’s not about the maturity of your democracy, it’s not about the strength of your institutions either… [populists] have this very specific way of paralysing political mechanisms and dismantling the fundamentals [of] human logic’. It’s perhaps worth considering in the context of the ongoing drought and fire catastrophe. Fires of this magnitude will impact on the nation’s food supply for example, not to mention the immense loss of biodiversity. Vladimir Lenin said, ‘Every society is three meals away from chaos.’ How good is our food and energy security? Sure, the bumbling incompetence of populist politicians such as the prime minister are an embarrassment and are sending the nation backwards, yet in his populist mind he is immune to shame (point three of How to Lose a Country). ‘Hard times create strong men,’ wrote G Michael Hopf. ‘Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.’ Clearly we are in hard times with weak leaders. At least good times are on the way, right? Hans Lovejoy, editor

or the last three months the headlines have been dominated by bushfires, and the grim prospect is that this will continue for at least another three months to come. Unprecedented, obviously – to all but the deliberately perverse. The latest line from the deniers and refuseniks is that sure, the bushfires are less than desirable, but hey, we’ve always had bushfires and we always will. We can rely on no greater authority than Dorothea Mackellar, who has now been resurrected as a climate scientist – she called Australia a sunburnt country of droughts and flooding rains, so just suck it up, cupcakes. And her droughts (forget about the flooding rains for the moment) were worse than our droughts – they led to more fires, more damage, more loss of life. Why, the Victorian Black Saturday holocaust of 1939 killed 71 people and burnt some 2 million hectares. Then, even our Queen, sheltered safely in her fastnesses on the other side of the world, sent a telegram of commiseration – a courtesy she had not extended at the time of writing. So this time we have got out relatively lightly – some deaths to date, although far less than the scores that were feared, and lots of destruction, but even that, not on the scale the pessimists predicted. We should be relieved and grateful. Well, sure, and we are. But the comparison is utterly misleading. Communications, technology and fire fighting innovations have changed a bit over the last 80 years. We have been forced to become both faster and more efficient in our responses, and it’s this, not some irrational claim that the fires have somehow become less severe, that has saved us from worse losses. In fact, the fires have become longer, hotter, more widespread and far more regular – just as the scientists have always told us they would. However, after bitter experience we have become more prepared. The internet, for all its drawbacks, has proved an unparalleled method of issuing instant and near-universal warnings of danger, the need to get ready for the worst and evacuate when necessary. And our irreplaceable ABC has been constantly on the job, updating information, and providing succour and advice. Fire fighting remains a mix of professionals and volunteers, but both teams are now far better trained and resourced than they used to be. Water bombing,

WATCH OUT MULLUMBIMBY! COMING SOON TO FRIDAY NIGHTS AT THE EMPIRE...

once considered a rare, expensive and often risky last resort, is now, if not quite routine, certainly a normal and effective part of the job. Co-operation between all tiers of government – federal, state and local – has been vastly improved. And, somewhat belatedly and reluctantly, the armed forces have become involved in logistics at least, if not on the front line.

Fires have become longer, hotter, more widespread and far more regular – just as the scientists have always told us they would. Mungo MacCallum Obviously we are neither fireproof nor foolproof, and probably will never become either. But as the disasters increase – as they will – we are holding back the worst of the onslaught. The problem remains that we will have to keep doing better, year after dreadful year. It’s not a solution – it’s a palliative, one which may offer some comfort, but will not heal the afflictions, let alone offer hope that they might be alleviated altogether. The best Scott Morrison and his climate sceptics can offer is a form of stoicism – last week we were repeatedly adjured to remain calm and steadfast, to look after each other and trust the authorities – meaning, basically, him. And, of course, pray for rain – the flooding rains, the drumming of the army Mackellar remembered. But, as events have shown, that drumming is becoming far more of an exception than a rule. Drought is pretty much the norm in large parts of Australia, and while there will be areas which will escape – and even prosper – as a result of climate change, vast tracts on which we relied for providing our food, for local consumption and for export, are going to be all but unviable. The government’s solution, as demanded by the beleaguered Nationals, is to try and buy itself out of trouble – more compensation, more subsidies. And obviously the farmers and graziers, having been assured for a couple of centuries that successive governments would look after them, have every right to expect help. But they would also like

something like a plan, some hope that somewhere, somehow, someone is in charge and, if not ready with a silver bullet, can at least show an ability to find his arse with both hands. Which brings us back to the tin-eared ScoMo. Having returned from his family sojourn in Hawaii, the prime minister urged his quiet voters to celebrate, to fling themselves into new year festivities with mammoth fireworks displays, even in places where a total fire ban had been imposed on ordinary mortals. Business as usual – pyrotechnics have proved to be hugely profitable, especially for those in Sydney. Even the NSW National leader, John Barilaro, found that a touch crass and insensitive, but Morrison was unfazed – we mustn’t become depressed just because our homes are burning and our friends being killed. So watching a couple of tonnes of cordite explode on television is just the fillip needed. And then, back to the real fire front – not that the exhausted fire fighters and their potential victims had ever left it. And they are unlikely to be assuaged by another distraction emanating from those determined to play down the ongoing catastrophe. This is the sudden realisation that some of the fires were probably deliberately lit – arsonists may have been involved. And a few may have been, although most flare ups are more likely to have been caused by badly extinguished camp fires, lightning strikes, electrical faults, even tossers who still throw their lighted cigarettes out of car windows. And anyway, it hardly matters – they still have to be put out. But the implication is that the fires, like everything else that goes wrong in the best country in the world, can be blamed on greenie lefty latte sippers intent on – well, what? Elevating the great climate change conspiracy to a new height of evil? Very likely – after all, they are the ones who oppose massive burning off in the increasingly rare intervals when nature is not doing it for them. Presumably this is yet another escalation of the culture wars, a ramping up from the identity politics of the lunar right in which ideology – their ideology – will always be more important than science, logic and common sense. And of course, it provides a few more headline anti-Green diatribes for the Murdoch media. And that, perhaps, is the most important thing of all.

Lost pleasures There are no ‘Simple Pleasures’ for local residents and ratepayers in Brunswick Heads and surrounds – including native flora and fauna. The once-regular sightings of dolphins, turtles, goannas, fish diversity, and even echidnas have been usurped by noisy, smelly boats, and hordes of people who are ignorant at best, or, with a ‘don’t give a stuff attitude’ at worst. They are entering and trampling areas of sensitive habitat, often with dogs (eg cordoned off areas for endangered nesting birds). Our recent encounter with a ‘Bondi Cigar’ (human poo) floating in Simpsons Creek near the footbridge was the latest affront.

Mellow out Ms Kitty In last week’s Echo I read the interview with the hilarious Kitty Flanagan. To my mind Australia’s best comedians

are female. With such laughable luminaries as Kitty, Mandy Nolan, Hannah Gadsby, and Judith Lucy, I don’t understand why the male comedians get all the TV hosting jobs. To get to my point, Kitty was quoted as saying she has just published a book on rules, and her most important bathroom rule of all was FPC – Flush, Pause, Check. Leave nothing behind. It seems Kitty has moved to this Shire and it is important that city people must adjust their way of thinking in regards to water consumption. People who live in the

country have a water-wise mantra – ‘if it’s yellow, let it mellow, if it’s brown, flush it down’. Sure it smells a bit, but every time you don’t flush, you save litres of water. In Mullumbimby we are on Level 4 water restrictions. I hate to think what happens if we get to Level 5. Maybe we won’t be able to flush our toilets at all. Perhaps we will be told to plant lemon trees in the back yard and water them with our piss. Lemons like that sort of thing. Magenta Appel-Pye Mullumbimby

Articles LëŕĎƆȒşŕ Ĳĕōż ŕĕĕĎĕĎ ëĪƐĕſ ĎĕưëƆƐëƐĶŕī Ǖ ſĕƆ Aslan Shand It is devastating to see your work of 18 years destroyed in less than ten minutes. But for local Bart Vanarey, who lives in Byron Bay, the destruction of his and his partner’s 600 acres 30km outside of Tabulam at Pretty Gully in early December by fire is the least of their worries. More important is the devastation that has been wrought on their farming neighbours and local community and what they can do to help. ‘One of my immediate neighbours lost her house. She is in her 70s and she and her daughter had to run across the paddock while it was raining embers to escape the fire that took her home. Two of the other neighbours’ houses were saved through the efforts of the local fire brigade and the RFS,’ explained Bart. On the Thursday they had been told that there was a fire in the area but that it was not that bad. By 12.30pm on Friday locals were fighting for their houses and lives. ‘I rang Jason, one of my neighbours, who is also in charge of the local RFS on the Friday. He took my call

What is left of the tractor in the machinery shed after the fire raged through the property in early December. but had to tell me that they had lost our property. He told me that everything was gone and not to come up. Then as he was hanging up I could hear them all yelling that they needed to get everyone in the truck and get out of there.’ Between 13 and 15 houses were lost in the local farming community and thousands and thousands of acres have been burnt out leaving farmers reliant on hand feeding their animals. ‘I got up there on the Sunday and the shed and caravan we stay in, the machinery shed, everything that we needed there to reforest the property was gone,’ said Bart, who is obviously

devastated by the loss. ‘My initial concern was for my neighbours. I rallied some friends together and we raised $35,000 to buy feed for neighbours’ cattle. We were able to purchase 60 tonnes of hay that has been driven up from Victoria. My neighbours were blown away to feel that someone cares about them. ‘The hay has given them breathing space hopefully till mid-February so that they have time to get back on their feet.’

Need helping hands While with preparation the farmers were able to save most of their stock the majority of fences were

destroyed by fire. They are currently having to keep their livestock in small paddocks that still have some basic fencing. Blazeaid is helping to supply the materials they need to get their basic fencing back in place but they need hands on deck to help them get the work done. ‘They need help to build their main fences as we just don’t have the workforce to get the work done,’ said Bart. ‘We need some ablebodied people who can come to our aid. We need some people who can spare from four days to a week to help with fencing work to get the perimeters of the properties fences’ done.’ Bart says they can supply tents, mattresses, some camp-oven cooking, and company for anyone who thinks they might have the time to spare. While Bart says he will also get back to reforesting their property, helping get his neighbours back on their feet is his priority at the moment. You can contact Bart to volunteer your time for a bit of fencing on 0427 856 281 or email: bbbart@me.com.

BYRON BAY WEDDING DJ Call Max on 0427 875 066

www.byronbayweddingdj.biz CHESS

by Ian Rogers The latest world rankings see Magnus Carlsen streets ahead of his two main rivals, Fabiano Caruana and Ding Liren, yet the World Champion starts 2020 being seriously disgruntled at being overlooked in the Norwegian Sports Awards. Carlsen was not nominated for ‘Name of the Year’, a title he won in 2014 and for which he was a nominee in 2018 after a modest year. It has become clear that Carlsen’s omission for the 2019 award is purely political: punishment for Carlsen’s role in lobbying for the national chess federation to accept a major sponsorship deal from gambling interests. When the NCF declined to accept the money, which would oblige it to lobby government to allow private betting companies into Norway, Carlsen paid membership fees for a massive new chess club he created in an attempt to rig the NCF vote. The effort failed and Carlsen subsequently resigned from the NCF, although he continues to represent Norway.

Carlsen’s pro-gambling efforts generated an enormous backlash in Norway, especially by the major sporting bodies, and his snubbing at the awards is the consequence. Yet Carlsen, apparently in a bubble of adulation from fans, his team and other players, seems oblivious to the negative image he created in 2019. While insisting, ‘This is not so important to me,’ he lashed out at the nomination committee, saying, ‘When they make choices that are one of two things, either political or inept, they deserve to hear it. It’s not my job to say, but I thought that it was so obvious that I deserved it.’ After a successful post-HSC month on the European circuit, Anton Smirnov is also far ahead as Australian number one on the January list, and also topped the 2600 level for the first time. Three players are vying for second place, with Temur Kuybokarov expected to move ahead of Bobby Cheng and Zhao Zong Yuan after the ongoing Australian Championship in Sydney concludes. Q Championship games can be seen daily at 2pm on Chess24.com.

Jan Barham’s article Will Byron Shire Achieve an Ecologically Sustainable Future? (24 December, 2019) needs to be compulsory reading for all who wonder how and why Byron Shire might be seen as ‘uniquely different’; particularly against the background of current world-wide crises. It is all about a broad vision and local action. For the newcomers, it’s a pen-sketch of where we’ve been. For the rest of us, it’s a reminder of the critical milestones along the path we have trod and the fact that there is no end to that road. Jan writes lucidly about the concept of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) and, most importantly, reminds us that ESD is ‘very much a YES statement’. Jan explains best practice strategic planning, speaks to us of the community activism that drove many of [our past] achievements, and of the visionary policies and strategies which emerged. Jan also addresses the inevitable disappointments and road blocks we encountered on the way. Ultimately it’s a timely reminder of not only why ESD should be part of the future but why it should always be embedded in our strategic planning and our thinking! The only element missing from the article (not surprisingly) is about the massive amount of energy and achievements which Jan brought to her role as both a local and state representative. At a time when there is no shortage of psychopaths and charlatans masquerading as community leaders, it’s timely to be reminded of the debt that we owe some very special individuals.

Sprung!! On Sunday night at the Drill Hall, I saw the other side of The Echo editor. No longer will he be the hard-nosed iconoclast ripping into councils or other collective fools. For ever, etched into my mind, will be the mild mannered, gentle double bass

player. Not only is he note perfect, but he shows a wonderful sense of harmony. The two other musicians were excellent, as they would need to be. Unlike so many others, the drummer was hardly noticeable, but he would be missed if he was not there. The keyboard player/singer matched the other two, but I think she would contribute more to their sound had she been able to play on a traditional piano. Oh, their support – Mandy Nolan, and guests, were not bad either! John Davies Mullumbimby

Racism deleted (PS) I have discovered that the Mullumbytes Facebook group has 11,652 members and is moderated by one white man (admin). There is another moderator listed who, I believe, is the same person! I posted the letter published in The Echo, (December 24) on the Mullumbytes page. Despite many positive comments and discussions around the topic, admin deleted it, four times, over as many days. Admin has muted anyone he disagrees with (he muted me for a week). Mullumbytes purports to be a community page, but I am left frustrated with the way one individual wields so much power. We are a mostly white population here and while there is surface support for First Nations culture there are also murky depths of racism, white supremacy and bigotry that emerge when anyone talks about racism, injustice and rights for First Nations people; and the voices speaking out against that should be heard. Vashti Easton Wright Byron Bay

Taking a swipe In response to Tim Harrington’s letter (January 1), taking a swipe at Phillip Frazer’s FU article (18 December, 2019). After some deep breathing and lots of chamomile tea, here’s my take on the inaccuracies you expressed. On matters that have escaped Mr Harrington’s peripheral vision; the

reason Mr Frazer was perplexed as to why voters chose Slomo, is simply because he is an educated journo with a professional approach and a capability for deep, analytical, political commentary. Regarding Hillary Clinton losing the election – she won the popular vote by three million. And Hell the British people were prepared to vote for Boris Johnson for a swift BREXIT outcome. As for Bill (Shorten) the media indisputably staged an anti-Bill campaign from the word go. ‘It’s not terribly smart to claim the mass media and politicians are biased towards the bosses’ – so says Mr Harrington. To claim that the media is controlled by the far Left; well I do hope I live to be 157 to see that. The Murdoch press devours most of our media and Fairfax media that he ‘assumes’ is independent, merged with Channel 9 last year. The Fairfax name is soon to be ditched. In late 2017 the federal government changed long-standing laws to remove restrictions that prevented mass media monopoly ie owning TV, radio and newspapers. The Feds also abolished the ‘reach rule’ which prevented a single TV broadcaster reaching more than 75 per cent of the population. So much for the leftie media having any power. To claim that our beloved ABC tells people how to think and what to think – man I wish that were true. If it was, then we would have a far more educated and enlightened voting populace. Praise the Goddess for the ABC and The Echo I say. Last, but not least (where’s the chamomile tea trolly?), you expect the ‘lefties’ to solve the burgeoning tourist traffic issues, why not blame them for the black holes in the cosmos? Speaking of black holes in our roads, please grow up, there are many more important issues to concern yourself with. Slow down, drive around them, and as we are in a climate emergency, there won’t be that much rain any more, so there will be fewer potholes. Welcome to the Apocalypse… Lindy Stacker Binna Burra

Bless the RFS and Yay for the CFA! The bushfire fundraising T-shirt certainly seems to have struck a chord with so many as we watch the once-green bushland of Australia burn, and witness the dedication and selflessness of the Rural Fire Service vollies, as well as the incredible co-ordination efforts by those behind the scenes. It’s emotional stuff witnessing such loss and such heroism. Running up to Christmas the fundraising T-shirt sales went pretty steadily with a few sold every day. Creator Tamsin Smyth was humbled and chuffed to see so many people get on board and support the fundraiser. ‘It’s a little frustrating trying to raise funds with such a small profit margin, set at twenty per cent by the platform,’ says Tamsin. ‘It’s not like the olden days when you had a shed piled high with hand-printed T-shirts. Someone has to absorb the production costs.’ The T-shirts are print-to-order and, after much trial and research, Redbubble proved to have the best sustainability and social responsibility practices, a great quality product, and the same profit margin as most of the other platforms. ‘Unfortunately, without the support of a T-shirt printer who donates the production costs and product, this is the best deal I can find. So if anyone with T-shirt printing facilities would like to come on board to help with the fundraising effort, that would be fabulous!’ Tamsin says. And in the meantime, a new ‘Yay! for the CFA’ T-shirt is now available also. Every little bit helps.

You can contact Tamsin via tedheadcreative.myportfolio.com. Go to tedhead.redbubble.com to order a T-shirt, cotton bag, or sticker. All proﬁts go to the RFS & CFA.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH

If you’ve seen War and Treaty at BluesFest then you don’t need to be told they’re something special. Husband and wife Michael and Tanya Trotter came from different paths, and when they converged, magic happened. After winning a talent show when she was 13, Tanya knew singing would be her life. Growing up in a tight-knit community just outside of Washington, DC, Tanya had a voice that was already hinting at the force it’d become: honeyed and bold, guttural but angelic. She’d discovered writing, too, and every blank space was an opportunity.

Michael started writing later, and for different reasons. He spent part of his childhood, with his family, in and out of homeless shelters – a limbo Michael would experience again as an adult. He became a soldier and was sent to Iraq. Stationed in one of Saddam Hussein’s demolished palaces, he had access to a piano that had emerged, miraculously, unscathed. A captain heard him play and sing with his once-in-a-generation volcano of a voice, and he encouraged Michael to pursue music. When that same captain was killed, Michael sat down to write – really write – for the first time. Officers noticed the tribute, pulled Michael from the front lines, and gave him a new charge: write and perform songs for the fallen. So whenever a brother- or sisterin-arms died, Michael spoke to buddies, uncovered the story, and penned a song for the memorial. When Michael returned home, he was booked on a festival that also featured Tanya Blount. After his set, Tanya approached him and asked if he’d written his songs. He had. The two exchanged numbers, but Michael, battle-weary, scarred, was daunted

by Tanya’s beauty; when Tanya called, he didn’t call back. He didn’t know why she would be calling him! The two eventually hooked up though, and the rest is history. Tanya reflects on meeting Michael. ‘I was running across the field, at the festival where he was playing, in my heels, telling him I wanted to work with him – I gave him my number and he told me he threw it away! ‘I’m not normally like that,’ says Tanya. ‘But I wanted to get to know who he was as a person, and I wanted to write with him. ‘There’s a level of genius that comes with Michael, and without him trying to challenge it, he receives a song. He gets the music and the beats and the lyrics – I have never seen anything like it before. He is prolific. ‘He writes four or five songs a day. I didn’t know when we got married that he had been in the military – I didn’t know that story of his writing; I didn’t know that about him for three years! The soldiers weren’t received well by Americans. So there was a shame about having been there,’ says Tanya. Gospel is the most natural genre for the Trotters.

‘We write about humanity, love, and peace – that’s how we approach it, what people are going through… gospel still touches people – it is the good news, people want to hear the good news – there’s so much bad news on TV, and in the paper; you want to have moments of inspiration.’ Rivers feature in a lot of their work. ‘Water is life,’ says Tanya. ‘It is cleansing, it revives you – it keeps you alive. When you are trying to clean yourself up from a situation, it’s symbolic for that, so you hear a lot of people sing Take me to the River. It’s where we go to renew our soul.’ Tanya believes that, through music, you can make a tiny neighbourhood out of the world. ‘Everyone looks different, they have different stories, but you can make a neighbourhood out of your world.’ That’s pretty well what War and Treaty do, every show! War and Treaty are at Bluesfest this Easter. Tickets and program info from bluesfest.com.au

MANDY NOLAN’S

SOAPBOX

CHANGE FOR SCOTT MORRISON Change is coming. I can feel it. I can even smell it. It smells of dust and death and is tinged with the acrid stench of smoke. Change is pulsing on social media, in the street. It’s the conversation around dinner tables. It’s on the radio. It’s in evacuation centres. On beaches. In the last few weeks, as our country burns, one thing has become evident: It’s impossible to be complacent. People are waking up. They are waking up to the reality that their government has betrayed them. Their prime minister takes a holiday in Hawaii while the country he has been elected to lead is on the critical list. On New Year’s Eve, Scott and Jenny hosted an exclusive dinner party to watch the Sydney Fireworks – meanwhile 500,000 animals burnt, 17 people died, and 28 are missing. At least 10.1 million hectares of country has burned. More than 1,000 buildings are lost. The people don’t need the trivial indulgence of fireworks. They want compassion. They want recognition. They want change. They want responsibility. Leadership. Renewables. Corporate accountability. They want the kind of change old white men just can’t bring. Distractions just aren’t working anymore. It’s hard to enjoy the spectacular sky formations of Sydney’s NYE fireworks when the climate disaster rages around us. You don’t need fireworks when you’re actually on fire. This country is burning because of our government’s lack of action, their neglect; they’ve left us in the car while they’ve gone to the pub. And they’ve left the windows up. We’ve been abandoned by those we elected to care for us. The country burns because of denial and self-interest and corporate greed. Try telling the family of one of the volunteer firefighters we’ve lost that climate change is a hoax. Climate change is real, and our government’s lack of action puts them at the heart of the crime. Scott Morrison lit those fires. Maybe not with a match or a discarded cigarette, but with his dangerous disregard of a worldwide climate emergency. The man who stood in parliament defending our commitment to fossil fuels by brandishing his ‘harmless’ lump of coal must have that same lump of coal for a heart if he can’t recognise the devastation he and his government have caused. His denials, and lack of action, were an incendiary as potent and as deadly as that of any arsonist. This is not a time for standing still. This is a time for action. Our fire-action plans have to go beyond packing our cars and leaving our homes. Our plans need to extend to how we intend to make systemic changes that address climate change. There is a feeling of anger, of despair and a call for action. For too long we’ve been passive bystanders, expecting our government to facilitate the changes that are needed to navigate our uncertain future. They are the government we’ve elected. We get the inactive government that a disengaged population deserves. But our comfort zones are gone. They’ve been razed to the ground. The people are becoming dangerous. It’s hard to govern a population when they realise that real power is with the people, not with the government. To address climate change we need a political climate change – where passive voters become active constituents demanding environmental responsibility. We need innovators, visionaries, and most importantly we need new leaders. Fires, Mr Prime Minister, are not an opportunity to raise money for the Liberal Party, as you did in your ad campaign. The people are taking charge. They’ve raised tens of millions of dollars. This has been the wakeup that Australia needs to avoid more catastrophes. So if this government isn’t listening, then they need to go. #dismisstheprimeminister #dismissthegovernment #stopdismissingclimatechange

SINGING FOR YOUR SOUL

THE BYRON CRUMPET The Byron Surf Festival has decided to run all of its indoor events in the one venue this year, with the Byron Brewery playing host to talk sessions, bands, and films. This will make it the hub of the festival with punters able to go from event to event in just moments. Heading the rock stage are Perth’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, delivering their signature powerful sprawling rock’n’roll. Somehow you can still feel the vibes of night-long jam sessions, belting out worksite frustrations, and the almost romantic memory of the neighbouring rat trash mansion. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets jump on stage at Byron Bay Brewery band room to close BBSF 2020 with support from local legends The Violent Monks and 100!! Also performing are super fun time rock’n’rollers Goons of Doom, the charismatic Didirri, Cupid & The Stupids, Fiona Franklin, The Violent Monks, and Wash and Tay Oskee. The BBSF runs 14–16 February with tickets from eventbrite.com.au

Did you know that group singing is cheaper than therapy, healthier than drinking, and more fun than working out? If you are hankering to laugh, move, and sing your way through 2020, now is your chance to check out Big Sing. Local singer, teacher, and performer with The Mighty Loveys, Janet Swain, is offering a two-hour workshop this Friday, 4–6pm, at Marvell Hall in Byron Bay. Participants will learn vocal warm-ups, fun exercises, simple chants, improvisation and circle singing, lullabies and rounds, as well as deepening their connection with their own authentic voice. Through sighing, yawning, laughing, and deep breathing, combined with the practice of deep inner and outer listening, they discover ways of using singing as a simple and extremely effective way to de-stress, enrich, and enliven their lives. Participants love the freedom of the Big Sing format – the connections that are made, the laughter, the effect that the harmonies have on everyone, and the magic of singing together in a circle. The two-hour workshop is also a chance for people to check out if Big Sing is for them before signing up for regular weekly classes in Brunswick Heads, Kingscliff, or Byron Bay. Janet Swain’s Big Sing – Own Your Voice classes started at Brunswick Picture House in 2018, and have grown in popularity, so much that Janet has started a Big Sing in Kingscliff, and this year will start a regular pre-dinner Big Sing at the wonderful Marvell Hall in Byron Bay on Friday afternoons 5–6pm. Janet also runs the slightly more formal Bowlo Community Choir with Adrian Williams Brett from Dustyesky Choir, on Monday nights at the Brunswick Heads Bowlo. Regular Big Sing classes resume on Monday 13 January at 9.30am in Brunswick Heads, Thursday 30 January at 10.30am in Kingscliff, and Friday 31 January at 5pm, at Marvell Hall in Byron Bay. Bookings online via songdynastymusic.com ($30 online or $40 at the door). Email Janet at sdynastymusic@gmail.com for more info.

CULTURE GRETEL KILLEEN A few weeks ago TV personality and program host Gretel Killeen said what the country was thinking when she told her Sunrise anchor and the other guest that she was ‘gobsmacked’ at their attitude that it was okay for PM Scott Morrison to have a holiday in Hawaii while the country burned. She went on to say this was a time when we needed good leadership and questioned whether Scott Morrison had the credentials. The segment went nuts on Twitter and viral on social media. Generally people in the mainstream media don’t speak like this. They toe the line. They back the government. Gretel isn’t someone used to staying quiet. She has politicised and been outspoken on a number of issues. In keeping with their commitment to present disruptors, at the end of January the CWA (Country Witches Association) presents Gretel Killeen in a comedy blurt of wit, wisdom, and witchcraft to stop the freaking nutters ruling the world. With two sittings at the Brew House Theatre in Byron – 5pm & 7pm. Tix are $30 from mandynolan.com.au.Gretel also co-presents Speak Up – a half-day workshop, on Sunday 2 Feb ($150) – with Mandy Nolan at Mullum Ex-Services. Places are limited.

LUCY’S LOVE STORIES

MR WOODLEY GETS FRANK

Judith Lucy recently reflected on her entire history with men and concluded that maybe it was time to shut up shop. At 51 she said, ‘Whatever it is that I’m selling, a lot of straight guys simply aren’t that interested in buying it, and I’m including people like my father.’ In amongst exploring stereotypes and her own desires, Judith Lucy will recount her full history with the opposite sex, and leave it up to the audience to determine whether she should hang up her vagina for good. In 2019, Judith did a massive sellout tour of the capital cities asking this question, but now she wants a second opinion. Brunswick Heads – the decision is yours! She plays the Brunswick Picture House, Wednesday 8 Jan–Sunday 12 Jan. Wed–Friday at 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 5pm. Tix are $40/45 from brunswickpicturehouse.com.

For Frank Woodley, comedy is like one of those oldfashioned washing machines with the wringers on top. Frank loves to push any topic or tale into the wringers and squeeze as much laughter out as he can. Occasionally, he pushes a little enthusiastically and gets his fingers mangled, but that can happen. This is your chance to see the master of daft creating a brand-new show, before he heads off on a national tour.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF A COWBOY The world’s wildest record breaker, Space Cowboy, presents Metamorphous, an action-packed show with thrilling stunts and mental marvels. Watch sparks fly as this daredevil take centre stage and risks his life with a 500,000 volt Tesla coil! Inspired by great thinkers of the past and present in the field of psychological persuasion and mind-reading, the Space Cowboy performs some of the most direct and precise thought-reading demonstrations that can be found in the world today. Witness his curious antics as he draws pictures from people’s minds and twists spoons in their hands. You are invited to bring your own cutlery for the Space Cowboy to bend – with no apparent physical force! As the holder of over 50 Guinness World Records, the Space Cowboy is leading the frontier of extreme performance. Experience him sword swallowing, chainsaw juggling, and more, as he pushes the boundaries of possibility. His bizarre demonstrations highlight the incredible power of the human mind and the physical body, and are so unusual that they have baffled doctors and scientists around the globe. Performing to sellout crowds and making headlines around the globe, The Space Cowboy’s truly unforgettable ‘mind bending’ show promises to do just that. Brunswick Picture House, Friday 10–Sunday 12 January at 2pm. Tix from brunswickpicturehouse.com.

He performs at the Brunswick Picture House Wed–Sunday. Wed–Friday at 8pm. Saturday and Sunday at 7pm. Tickets $30/35 from brunswickpicturehouse.com.

TONY’S REHEARSAL FOR HEAVEN Tony Backhouse, international choir leader, composer, innovator, and singer will lead a public workshop in a cappella singing on Saturday 11 January, at the Byron Community College in Mullumbimby, 1–4pm. Under such inspiring guidance, no previous singing experience or musical knowledge is needed to get the joy of singing in instant harmony with a big group of strangers! Renowned as the founder of Sydney’s Cafe at the Gate of Salvation choir, the Honey Bees, and the Heavenly Light Quartet, Tony’s compositions have graced the big screen (Jane Campion’s Sweetie and Peter Jackson’s Braindead), and have been recorded by Joe Walsh, Renee Geyer, Jackie Orszaszcky, Jenny Morris, and many others. Backhouse has received awards from the Contemporary Acappella Society of America, and composer commissions from The Song Company and the Australia Council. In 1990 he received an Australia Council International Study Grant to research black gospel traditions at Memphis State University. In 2006, his song Lost in the Heavenly Light was nominated for the Australian Classical Music Awards for Vocal Work of the Year.

HANSARD ON STAGE The Byron Theatre presents Hansard screened live from the National Theatre performance in London. Two-time Olivier Award winners, Lindsay Duncan ( Birdman, About Time ) and Alex Jennings ( The Lady in the Van, The Queen ), perform in this brand-new play by Simon Wood. It’s a summer’s morning in 1988 and Tory politician Robin Hesketh has returned home to the idyllic Cotswold house he shares with his wife of 30 years, Diana. But all is not as blissful as it seems. Diana has a stinking hangover, a fox is destroying the garden, and secrets are being dug up all over the place. As the day draws on, what starts as gentle ribbing and the familiar rhythms of marital scrapping quickly turns to blood-sport. Don’t miss this witty and devastating portrait of the English governing class. Saturday 11 January, 1pm at Byron Theatre. Tix from byroncentre.com.au.

Flickerfest remains a platform for celebrating the most entertaining and innovative short filmmaking from Australia and around the

best in short filmmaking that Australia and the world have on offer. The Flickerfest 2020 program in Bondi is selected from 3,600 entries, from 100 countries, giving local Flickerfest audiences the first look at the hottest short films in the world today.

STARS BY LILITH

Will this new decade arrive quietly? Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, plus a full-moon eclipse and edgy alignment to dwarf planet Eris, named for the Greek goddess of discord, say ‘Maybe not… ARIES: This week of highprofile energetics and unexpected change could have you feeling both wired and tired, but with Mars in fiery, rash, reactive mode, it’s crucial to stay flexible and edit before you speak. Execute the dance between the urge to blurt, and what will serve the highest interests of the situation very, very carefully.

LIBRA: Eclipse energy can pressure indecisive situations into action, so this week’s full moon could activate a significant shift. As a Mercury/Saturn/ Pluto trinity audit and inventory what needs rejigging in the life of Libra, remember your guiding planet Venus is the diplomat of the zodiac, and if you need to disagree, offer a workable alternative.

TAURUS: With Mars heating up alreadyincendiary temperatures, this week’s call to truth is too loud and persistent to ignore. If full moon presses Play on an honest, airclearing convo, which you know is way overdue, use this opportunity to start making changes while the ball’s still in your court.

SCORPIO: Liploosening Jupiter has you speaking up and out this week, which makes self-regulation more important than ever. Honestly monitor the signals you’re transmitting, both expressed and silent. The good news? Full moon could bring together the connections for something big that’s been a long time in the works.

GEMINI: Argumentative Mars and righteous Venus are this week’s downside, so flip the script – stop bickering about who’s right or wrong. As Uranus moves forward, a creative venture gets legs. The triple merger of Sun, Saturn, and Pluto help ditch old baggage and smash addictive patterns. And this full moon could bring money with it. CANCER: With a rare cosmic consortium of five planets in your relationship sector, plus late-week dramatic fullmoon eclipse in Cancer, the Crab clan can expect a sudden change of plans, a situational or relational turning point, the confirmation of something you already anticipated. Look for silver linings as conditions shift. LEO: As a healing full moon helps release behaviours, attachments, or attitudes blocking growth and forward progress, this week issues an invitation to transformation you can’t refuse: the organisational imperative to declutter, simplify, and streamline. If ever there was a time to embrace the art of graceful change, this is it. VIRGO: Hot-headed, red-tempered Mars has emotions running high, so right now it’s crucial to keep cool, especially in the domestic arena and specifically with nearest and dearest. Go easy on this week’s messy, distressy world and use your Mercurian superpowers to make life more enjoyable for others.

SAGITTARIUS: Mars in Sagittarius puts Archers in the mood to gallop. But this week’s five-planet conglomerate in Capricorn likes to take its time – or, more specifically, to align with right timing. This power package energising your sector of money and stability, routines, and work, suggests open listening, accurate assessing, then moving or waiting, as indicated… CAPRICORN: With this week’s game-changing coalition of celestial luminaries in Capricorn, we wish the Shire’s goatfolk happy birthday, year, life. You’ve worked hard getting Chateau Cap in order, now the pieces fall into place, and it’s your time to fly. Who rules this week? You do. Whatever you pursue, the force is with you. AQUARIUS: As your ruler Uranus moves forward after a five-month hiatus, so do you on certain things you’ve been ambiguous about. Mars in your house of collaborations is pushing the benefits of teaming up, while Jupiter’s on a mission to change the ways you do this – this year’s work in progress. PISCES: This year’s about giving back. This month expands your efforts, connecting you to prime movers on a similar mission. And this week’s full moon could see you standing up and speaking out for your ideals. With power dynamics at play, it’s always advisable to press Pause before going public.

CINEMA ROCKET MAN AT FEDERAL Federal Films kicks off 2020 on Saturday 11 January at 8pm, with the dazzling Rocketman , a fantastic musical extravaganza about the life of Reginald Dwight, or, as he’s better known, Elton John. When fate brought Elton and Bernie Taupin together, a collaboration was formed that created some of the most iconic songs of the past fifty years. Come and sing along! This month’s caterers are Amrita in Australia, who are raising funds for the Galupa Homeland Project, working with Yolngu Elders in East Arnhem Land to establish a Community Art Program to keep young women safe with purpose and connected to their culture and land. Dinner is available from 6.30pm and includes: chickpea and vegetable tikka masala, mushroom and vegetable korma and roast vegetable salad with haloumi. Tea, coffee, and delicious cakes are available at intermission. For more information call 6684 9313, or email federalfilmsociety@gmail. com. www.federalfilmsociety.com or www.facebook.com/federalfilmsociety

JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL If you walk into the cinema thinking ‘I’m not expecting much from this film, I just want to be entertained and have a laugh’ then this film doesn’t disappoint. As most people expected, there is no real depth to the story or the characters in the film; however, the characters are forever in the middle of some elaborate and ridiculous action sequence – so it will keep you watching.

The sequels in the Jumanji franchise don’t have the same feel about them as the original, mostly owing to the absence of Robin Williams, who made the first film (1995) truly special. Now starring big names like Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, this sequel is loaded with extensive CGI, and very obvious humour. For a family trip to the cinema or for a bit of light-hearted action and comedy, Jumanji: The Next Level will leave you feeling totally satisfied. For those looking for complex characters and a gripping plot, you might want to skip this one.

ſşƐĲĕſƆ Ĳëưĕ ƱĲëƐ bĶŕīƆĈōĶǔ ōĶŊĕƆ The hospitality industry may not seem like a likely fit for two veterans of several tours of Afghanistan, but ‘brothers by choice’, Daniel John, Brad Butson, and Maryann (Mez) Butson have built a team with years of experience, and together they had a pretty clear idea of what they wanted when they joined to make a restaurant in Kingscliff where there’s ‘something for everyone’. In fact, the team listened to exactly what their loyal customers wanted when they merged Byron Gourmet Foods with The Burger Guru to create what the locals thought Kingscliff really needed – a venue with a welcoming and laidback vibe. You can order a coffee and sit there on your computer, enjoy a breakfast or lunch with friends and family, a night of live music with dinner, have drinks with friends and family, or a romantic dinner for two. Its bar means that it’s perfect for those birthday parties and weddings that go late into the night. Just looking around the beach and foreshore on a beautiful summer day I could see how easy it would be to gather at the restaurant, get married on the foreshore, and then come back across the road for the festivities. Brothers is fully licensed of course. Brad likes whisky, so they have a whisky for everyone; Dan loves his beers so they offer a range of beers. They have two tap beers, one of which is Stone & Wood, and a feature keg on the second, as well as other local craft beers and your usual suspects. Mez loves her wine and is always bringing in new Australian wines from all around the country. Grace and Cody are the managers and have years of experience, and they bring you a different $10 special every Thursday, as well as an ever-changing cocktail list. ‘We’ve called our place Brothers, in the sense of family’, says Brad, ‘but really our motivation is to be a positive part of, and serve, the Kingscliff community. We live locally and love

Kids’ Fishing Comp

where we live’. Brad and Mez got married in Kingscliff before they lived here, and Dan and Tayla are soon to be married in Kingscliff as well. They support the local suppliers, and are involved with the Surf Club, the local chamber of commerce, the Kingscliff RSL (having helped coordinate last year’s Remembrance Day) and

they try and help out local groups with fundraising, as well as running their own fundraisers for military groups and other charities. The menu deliberately offers a great selection of light meals, up to what the ‘brothers’ call ‘eat-your-heartout’ portions. And for those who are thinking of having dinner on a summer night on the foreshore at Kingscliff, the menu offers entrees such as polenta fish fingers or calamari with yogurt tartare, warmed olives or woodfired Turkish bread and fresh-made dips. You can follow that with woodfired pizza, seared salmon; ribs; a delicious eye fillet steak; Balinese satay chicken or chickpea dahl for example, because at night Brothers is a restaurant. ‘We’ve been told that we have the best steaks in the area, but we do still do delicious vegetarian and vegan food too,’ laughs Brad. Perfect for summer! Brothers cafe, restaurant and bar, 36 Marine Pde, Kingscliff. Ph 02 6674 8499 Facebook: brotherskingy Brotherscaferestaurantbar.com

Ballina RSL are all set to host their annual Australia Day Kids’ Fishing competition, in collaboration with Ballina RSL Fishing Club, Ballina Bait and Tackle, Shimano and Frogley’s Offshore. Registration kicks off from 10am on Sunday 26 January, followed by the competition, and the last weigh-in is at 3pm, at Ballina RSL Club. A presentation will be held in The Boardwalk area, on the ground floor, from 3.30pm. This is free for all children, and for the first 100 kids that enter, Shimano are offering an epic sample-bag full of goodies. Open to kids 4–16 years of age. Prizes for 4–9 years and 10–16 years. Plus random-draw prizes. Fun for all the family to enjoy! See ballinarsl.com.au for full competition details.

Visitors There were 2.21m visitors to Byron in the year ended 30/6/2019. About one million of those were domestic day visitors (think SE Queensland and Brisbane) and one million were domestic overnight visitors (70 per cent of whom came from Brisbane, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne, in that order). The biggest category of visitors is ‘friends and family’. International visitors are about 220,000 pa. While the number of visitors has not increased much (it was around 2.1m two years ago) the number of visitor-nights has increased quite a lot recently.

It’s a great time to be in Byron: the water is warm, there’s a buzz in town, and if you need to chill, sunset on the rocks at Main Beach still has a wonderful appeal. Just metres from Main Beach, overlooking the wonderful menagerie of sun-kissed humanity, is Loft where you can sit back in a venue that has the ultimate Byron feel. There is the open terrace, airy interiors, natural elements in furniture and textiles, and the whole place has a welcoming beachside vibe. The food is European-style modern Australian, with an all-day food and drinks menu – including snacks, smalls, sides, mains, and desserts, and featuring dishes from the Deli & Oyster Bar. Loft Byron Bay has a $35 lunch special every day 12–3pm, with a choice of Loft beer or wine, plus two courses. For example: Starters choices: oysters; or chicken liver pate served with pickles, sweet onion and croutons; or ceviche – with tomato, watermelon, and purple basil. Mains choices: crisp battered fish & chips – served with pea puree & tartare; or pan-roasted market fish – served with asparagus, almond & goats cheese; or 300g rump cap – served with fries & red wine jus. Of course, if you want to step it up a notch, the cocktails are sensational, some featuring local spirits and innovative flavour themes. There’s a very good wine list and a beer menu – they have ten beers on tap, including a choice of local brews, as well

as beer from outside the region. And, of course, the party vibe kicks in later in the evening, and if you do stay late, you can still chill on the rocks overlooking Main Beach in the moonlight. Loft Byron Bay. Open every day noon–midnight, and from 11am on Saturday and Sunday for brunch. Loftbyronbay.com.au

Property Insider

For one thing there’s the need to comply with new building codes, which have been improved to ensure buildings take into account their potential exposure Email us: propertyinsider@echo.net.au to bushfire. This is likely to increase costs by 20 per cent or more, but is rarely made clear to insurance customers.

A crisis of underinsurance threatens to scar rural Australia permanently This article was originally published on 7 January in The Conversation. theconversation.com

A further contributing factor is that banks can claim insurance payments to pay off mortgages, meaning the only way to rebuild is by taking out another mortgage.

Authors: Chloe Lucas, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Geography and Spatial Sciences, University of Tasmania Christine Eriksen, Senior Lecturer in Geography and Sustainable Communities, University of Wollongong

‘People who owned houses, any money that was owing, everything was taken back to the bank before they could do anything else,’ said a former shop owner from Whittlesea, (about 30km west of Kinglake and also severely hit by the 2009 fires).

David Bowman, Professor of Pyrogeography and Fire Science, University of Tasmania Australia is in the midst of a bushfire crisis that will affect local communities for years, if not permanently, owing to a national crisis of underinsurance. Already more than 1,500 homes have been destroyed – with months still to go in the bushfire season. Compare this to 2009, when Victoria’s Black Saturday fires claimed more than 2,000 homes in February, or 1983, when the Ash Wednesday fires destroyed about 2,400 homes in Victoria and South Australia, also in February. The 2020 fire season could end up surpassing these tragedies, despite the lessons learned and improvements in preparedness. One lesson not really learned, though, is that home insurance is rarely sufficient to enable recovery. The evidence is many people losing their homes will find themselves unable to rebuild, owing to lack of insurance. We know this from interviews

with those affected by the October 2013 Blue Mountains bushfires (in which almost 200 homes were destroyed). Despite past disasters, more than 65 per cent of households affected were underinsured. Research published by the Victorian government in 2017, meanwhile, estimated just 46 per cent Victorian households have enough insurance to recover from a disaster, with 28 per cent underinsured and 26 per cent having no insurance. The consequences aren’t just personal. They potentially harm local communities permanently, as those unable to rebuild move away. Communities lose vital knowledge and social networks that make them resilient to disaster.

Miscalculating rebuilding costs All too often the disaster

44 The Byron Shire Echo `ëŕƖëſƷ ǯǽ ǩǧǩǧ

Construction costs also often spike following disasters, owing to extra demand for building services and materials.

Upper Malapiki, Coordination Cooperative, Tuntable Falls. Photo Kali McLaughlin of having your home and possessions razed by fire is followed by the disaster of realising by how much you are underinsured. As researchers into the impact of fires, we are interested why people find themselves underinsured. Our research, which includes interviewing those who have lost their homes, shows it is complicated, and not necessarily owed to negligence. For example, a woman who lost her home in Kinglake, northeast of Melbourne, in the 2009 fires, told us how her insurance calculations turned out to bear no resemblance to the actual cost of rebuilding.

‘You think okay, this is what I paid for the property,’ she said. ‘I think we had about $550,000 on the house, and the contents was maybe $120,000.’ It was on these estimates that she and her partner took out insurance. She told us: You think sure, yeah, I can rebuild my life with that much money. But nowhere near. Not even close. We wound up with a $700,000 mortgage at the end of rebuilding.

An extra mortgage A common issue is that people insure based on their home’s market value. But rebuilding is often more expensive.

This meant, once banks were paid, people had nothing left to restart. She told us: ‘People came into the shop and cried on my shoulder, and I cried with them. I helped them all I could there. That’s probably why we lost the business, because how can you ask people to pay when they’ve got nothing?’

Undermining social cohesion In rural areas there is often a shortage of rental properties. Insurance companies generally only cover rent for 12 months, which is not enough time to rebuild. For families forced to relocate, moving back can feel disruptive to their recovery.

Underinsurance significantly increases the chances those who lose their homes will move away and never return – hampering social recovery and resilience. Residents that cannot afford to rebuild will sell their property, with ‘tree changers’ the most likely buyers. Communities not only lose residents with local knowledge and important skills but also social cohesion. Research in both Australia and the United States suggested this can leave those communities less prepared for future disasters. This is because a sense of community is vital to individuals’ willingness and ability to prepare for and act in a threat situation. A confidence that others will weigh in to help in turn increases people’s confidence and ability to prepare and act. In Whittlesea, for example, residents reported a change in their sense of community cohesion after the Black Saturday fires. ‘The newer people coming in,’ one interviewee told us, ‘aren’t invested like the older people are in the community.’ Australia is one of the few wealthy countries that heavily relies on insurance markets for recovery from disasters. But the evidence suggests this is an increasingly fraught strategy, particularly when rural communities also have to cope with the reality of more intense and frequent extreme weather events. If communities are to recover from bushfires, the nation cannot put its trust in individual insurance policies. What’s required is national policy reform to ensure effective disaster preparedness and recovery for all.

The Red Devils relax with fans at their home ground after the last game of the 2019 season. Photo supplied. The Byron Bay Red Devils have narrowly missed out on the rugby league finals for 2019 after finishing in sixth place behind Tweed Heads, who went through on a better for-and-against tally. Playing at home in the last regular game of the season, the Byron side went down to the Ballina Seagulls 38–16. The loss meant that Tweed Heads would have gone past them on the competition ladder if they could

beat Cudgen. When that game ended in a 24–24 draw, both Tweed and Byron were on equal competition points. But Byron lost the battle for the last finals position as their for-and-against was 13 points behind Tweed.

U/18s The U/18s Red Devils made it all the way to the preliminary final where they took on Cudgen for a place in the grand final, but were beaten 24–4

Matilda attends the Shearwater Steiner school and has achieved outstanding results at the Australian Track and Field Championships held in Darwin last week. ‘She set out her goals and she achieved them all. She

wanted a gold medal and achieved this by winning the 200m sprint with a time of 26.19, becoming the 12-yearsand-under Australian Champion,’ mother Fernanda said. Matilda also ran under 13 seconds to come fifth in the 100m final, and also picked up a bronze medal in the 4 x 100m relay. ‘It takes a community, and Mullumbimby has always supported me,’ Matilda said.

The Shores United women’s football team lost their inaugural grand final 3–0 against Richmond Rovers last Sunday at Crozier Oval Lismore. The team never gave up, but a 2–0 deficit at half-time, and a late strike, proved too big to chase down. ‘It wasn’t the Shores team’s best match of the season, but nonetheless it was a remarkable year for the ladies making a grand final in just their first year in

the FFNC competition,’ club president Marc Patten said. ‘It was a fantastic season for Shores United and local ladies football. ‘Congratulations to all the ladies and we will no doubt look forward to seeing you in the red, white and black next season.’ The season got off to a great start for the team when they won their first game 1–0 in front of a jubilant home crowd at the Shara Boulevarde ground.

Diego Vazquez goes at Celtic’s defence. Story & photo Dogwhistle A double grand final showing was a fitting swan song for Byron Bay Services Club’s retiring premier coach Damon Bell. Despite a gutsy performances from the Rams’ premier division and reserve teams, they both fell short on grand final day in late September.

The reserves lost to the Richmond Rovers 7–6 in a penalty shoot out, while the top team went down 2–1 to South Lismore Celtic. In a great stint with the Rams, coach Bell has collected four premiership and two championship trophies in the Anzac Cup, as well as taking the Rams to the regional level of the FFA Cup.

The Mullumbimby Moonshiners took home the Far North Coast Rugby reserve grade premiership after beating Ballina 20–7 at Crozier Park, Lismore in September. It was the side’s second premiership win in four years. Luke Caldwell scored two tries while Josh Mudge scored one, and Andrew Jordan-Brown kicked a conversion. Byron Flynn chipped in with a penalty goal. The Moonshiners pulled away in the second half by keeping Ballina pointless, after going into the break up at 12-7. Brad Grono scored Ballina’s try that was converted by Nick Brydon.Photo supplied `ëŕƖëſƷ ǯǽ ǩǧǩǧ The Byron Shire Echo 55

Kudos to Zoey SalucciMcDermott, a young pregnant Cobargo woman filmed on Nine TV last week. When approached by the PM for a handshake, she did not take his offer and instead said she would only shake his hand if he gave more money to the RFS. While she was clearly still in shock from the bushfires, Scott from Marketing grabbed her limp hand while the cameras rolled, then awkwardly retreated, saying nothing. He walked away from a woman pleading for help who was in shock. Did you know Scott from Marketing pays $190,000 a year for an empathy coach? It was revealed during senate estimates committee hearings last year and reported in the Saturday Paper. Q Q Q Q

Cousins Freya, Fritjof, Billie, and Zoe decided to dedicate some of their holidays to raising money toward bushfire relief. Last Saturday they collected a modest $25 at the Brunswick Market to give to the Rural Fire Service. On Monday, they had set up outside Santos in Mullum to raise money for the fire victims.
