A controversial development application (DA) for a block of five flats at
27–29 Station Street, Mullumbimby,
will be decided at this Thursday’s
Council meeting.
It’s come under fire from residents
who are outraged and puzzled that
Byron Council planners have recommended it be allowed, after the developer made some minor amendments
to address bulk, scale and privacy.
More than 320 people have signed
a petition in protest against the plan.
In September last year councillors,
at their first meeting after being elected, rejected the staff ’s recommended
refusal and instead voted to allow
them to negotiate with the developer
to address those issues.
Originally, the staff report on the
plan was scathing of the design quality of the proposal, saying it has ‘a
single wall plane extending a length
of 42.5 metres, which is bulky and
austere in appearance’, and a height of
almost nine metres.
Planners at the time said the views
from each of the elevated balconies
looked straight down into neighbours’
homes and yards, which amounted to
‘a severe loss of privacy’ for neighbours.
But in his recent report, chief planner Ray Darney says that while the
revised design was ‘still bulky in appearance’ and of a ‘comparatively
larger scale’ than close residential
developments, he claimed the privacy issue had now been addressed
by the developer introducing ‘privacy
screens’ along the length of the northern side of the balconies. Additionally
the front unit has been reduced in size
to a one bedroom apartment.
Heritage ignored
Residents say it’s still far too bulky
in appearance and larger in scale than
surrounding houses, does not respect
the heritage of the town, is totally unsympathetic to the streetscape and is
inconsistent with a number of planning policies.
Immediate neighbour Simone
Ormsby fears approval of the block of
flats will set a precedent and that ‘this
style of housing may pop up all over
Mullumbimby, or perhaps the entire
Byron Shire, potentially adjacent to
lovely heritage or older-style houses,
spoiling the appeal and charm of this
great town and wonderful shire’.

CSG Free meeting snaps into action
Despite tighter state regulations on the industry, Byron presses ahead to declare itself CSG free
Hans Lovejoy
Momentum is still building against
the coal seam gas (CSG) mining industry in the region despite last week’s
announcement by the state government that CSG mining will now be
banned within a two-kilometre radius
of residential areas.
Around 700 attended Saturday’s
CSG Free meeting at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex in
Ewingsdale, and unanimously voted
to establish a survey team for the
Shire’s streets, which will ask residents

if they want their region CSG free.
While the government’s exclusion
zone – which also includes horse stud
farms and wineries – is a considerable
concession, north coast federal ALP
MPs and activists say they won’t be
backing down until the entire region
is free of CSG activity.
Byron CSG Free co-ordinator Rosie Lee said of the new zonings, ‘Too
bad if you live in a rural area, are a
dairy or cattle farmer in Kyogle, or soy
bean grower in Casino or an organic
farmer in Mullumbimby.’
But local state Nationals MP Don
Page told The Echo that ‘The exclusion of all residential and future residential zones is a good outcome, as is
the review or audit of all CSG activity
in NSW. Having the EPA as the independent regulator is also a positive
outcome.’ Mr Page said that the new
CSG measures were ‘very much the
result of pressure from the Nationals’,
who are part of the Liberal/National
coalition government. When asked if
the Nationals had further plans to curb
the CSG industry, he said, ‘I think there
could be other initiatives in future.’
Resident Suzie Mylecharane, who
was at Saturday’s meeting, told The lives! We have to make this the bigEcho she agrees with a total ban on gest social movement in Australia as

One more in a series of wild
storms caused havoc not only
on our frail roads last week,
but saw 156 calls within the Byron Shire to the local SES from
Thursday through to Sunday,
with fallen trees being the major factor.
Incident controller for the
northern rivers, Tony Casey,
told The Echo that 26 residents
suffered roof damage and 12
residences were in danger from
flood waters.
And the cost to date is about
$1.1 million, says Council’s executive manager of community
infrastructure, Phil Holloway.

Uki’s two storey heritage listed
Mt Warning Hotel went up in
flames on Saturday night.
And while the cause is still
not known, insurance assessors and fire investigators have
already been onsite.
The outside walls and frame
of the building remain standing, but look likely to be demolished. Its rich history goes
back to the old cedargetting
top of the dune escarpment
down to the beach.
Upper Coopers Creek Road
is still closed to motor vehicles
and pedestrians, but at this
stage there are still only a few
trees for the SES to clean up.
Mr Casey said that one of the
biggest problems is people who
are still ignorant to the danger
of floodwater and who put not
only themselves but their families at risk entering floodwater
in a vehicle. ‘They risk own lives
and potentially the family’s lives
and it is just plain stupidity’.
NSW minister for police and
emergency services, Michael
Gallacher, has extended a Natural Disaster Declaration to the
local government areas including Ballina, Byron, Lismore,
Richmond Valley, Clarence Valley and Tweed Shire.
The declaration makes a
number of supportive schemes
available to assist with the cost
of restoration and recovery under the Commonwealth Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery
Arrangements and the NSW
Disaster Assistance Arrangements. Anyone needing help
from the SES should contact
their local unit on 132 500.

Council has been really important as it gives young people the opportunity to engage
with democratic processes and
be empowered by it. Watching Ngurun in that process was
really inspiring and when this
came up, I thought he was the
perfect person to put forward.
‘Also, because of the role of

Byron Bay High School principal Peter King is pleased as
punch about having a state MP
under his care.
As part of the YMCA New
South Wales Youth Parliament
program, year 11 student Ngurungaeta Brown will represent
the area in Sydney later this year.
Ngurun said he felt honoured
and a bit nervous because he
didn’t know what to expect.
‘There’s a lot of training,’ he
says, ‘which is quite rigorous.’
Nevertheless, Mr King says
he’s very proud of Ngurun, who
has been a student who represented the school, ‘from the
very first day’.
‘He’s a proud Arakwal man
and he has grown into a fine
young ambassador for our
school. He is one of the key
voices in our school because he
is such a great listener and also

Ngurungaeta Brown is off to Sydney later this year
such a great advocate for others. He’s a very caring young
man and I have got great faith
in his ability to be a voice of our
community.’
The Youth Parliament gives
young people a voice in the
running of NSW. It is a place
where the opinions and con-
cerns of youth are heard by
those who have the power to
make laws. Each member of
the Legislative Council is asked
to choose a young person to
take a place in the parliament
and Jan Barham MLC asked
Ngurun to represent the area.
‘I’ve see Ngurun involved in
‘There is a need for younger
people to step up into those
roles of leadership and Ngurun
has already proven that he is
capable, and willing to do that.’
The YMCA partially sponsor
this project, and the Byron Shire
Council is also giving support,
but there are still costs to be met
and the opportunity is there for
members of the community to
help out financially.

Council aims to tackle Byron’s Council loans may help
social issues with state grant with infrastructure
Hans Lovejoy
A crime prevention grant application being prepared by
Council is set to be submitted
by early March and aims to address Byron’s social problems.
Entitled ‘Safer Community Compact’ and available at
Council’s website, its stated objectives are to ‘reduce the incidence of assault (non-domestic
violence), specifically alcoholrelated; reduce the incidence of
other theft and to increase community perceptions of safety.
Byron Shire’s Council’s acting executive manager of society and culture, Greg Ironfield,
told The Echo, ‘Staff are in discussion with key community
stakeholders on projects to be
submitted from the Safer Community Compact.
‘If successful, the grant funding will target the reduction of
alcohol-related non-domestic
violence,’ he said.
Pub caught serving minors
A Byron Bay hotel has been
issued infringements for multiple alleged cases of underage drinking during Schoolies
Week last year.
Police have issued the as
yet unnamed pub with fines
totalling $13,750 following an
investigation into two separate
underage incidents.
Acting inspector Saul Wiseman told The Echo that the pub
cannot be named, ‘until the
matter is at court or they pay the
fine and the matter is finalised.’
On November 29, 2012, police
say they found a minor inside
the venue and on the following day, at the same premises,
they spotted another underage
youth drinking alcohol.
Police allege that on both occasions there was no security officer at the entrance to the hotel.
Hans Lovejoy
A Local Government Infrastructure Renewal Scheme
(LGIRS) may be on the table in
a around month, which could
assist in boosting Byron Shire’s
ailing amenities.
Minister for local government
and Ballina MP Don Page told
The Echo, ‘It provides councils
with an interest subsidy of four
per cent (round one) and three
per cent (round two) over ten
years for loans to address their
infrastructure backlog.’
Mr Page added that Byron
Council as yet have not applied
for the loan; however, mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo
that Council didn’t apply for
it previously because the then
general manager and staff advised against it.
‘For this loan, you need to
show that Council’s debt is within a certain range,’ he said, ‘It’s
like getting a bank loan. When
we find out whether we’re eligible, I am open to it.’
Meanwhile, Greens MLC
and former mayor Jan Barham
told The Echo she is pushing
for a parliamentary inquiry that
would examine visitor loads on
small towns reliant on tourism.
The ‘Tourism Impacts Inquiry’ aims to report on the
value and impacts of tourism
on local communities.
For example, it would examine: The value of tourism to
NSW and return on investment of government grants and
funds; the impacts of tourism
on local government areas; the
difficulties in calculating tourism capacity to inform infrastructure and service provision
and management; unapproved
and unregulated tourism and
employment opportunities for
local and non locals.
She added she is close to getting the support needed for the
inquiry to be tabled.

A sea journey of discovery and activism
I left Brunswick in July 2012
with an aim to sail to the solar
eclipse in Cairns and do port
shows, actions, media, filming,
live streaming, social networking and connect with marine
conservation groups, whales
and marine life along the way.
First stop SeaWorld.
I anchored Migaloo 2 next to
SeaWorld, met with the Gold
Coast Sea Shepherd group and
projected The Cove onto the
sails of Migaloo 2. It’s a movie
about the slaughter and capture of wild dolphins in Japan.
The next day a baby humpback whale was caught in shark
nets right out front on the Gold
Coast. It was cut loose by SeaWorld yet died soon after.
SeaWorld declined to come
to the screening and refused
to condemn the shark nets or
other SeaWorld companies for
using wild captured cetaceans.
Hervey Bay
But we are determined to
raise awareness on this issue
and met with some Noosa
crew and organised a protest/
ceremony next to the shark nets
at Noosa for all the deaths these
nets cause.
Next was my old stomping
ground of Hervey Bay, where
I’ve been playing with, filming
and listening to whales over
the last eight years.
The Kimberley mob that are
defending their land and sea
against a huge gas development at James Price Point in
WA – which is also a whale
nursery – organised a smoking ceremony at the same time
around the world, asking for
respect and to bring awareness
to the issue.
I invited representatives of
the local Butchala people and
their kids onto Migaloo 2 to
do the ceremony. Elders and
NO
W
million tons has already caused
major environmental problems
like fish, turtle and dolphin kills
as well as widespread contamination in the food chain.
She said if coal port expansion continues as planned there
will be four times as many coal
cargo ships travelling through
the Great Barrier Reef over the
next 20 years, which poses a
great risk to the reef in the case
of a collision.
Dean Jefferys
OP
EN
Gladstone CSG hub
Captain Dean Jefferys has just returned from sailing up
the east coast on Migaloo 2 with his marine conservation
campaign, ‘Sailing the Winds of Change 2012 and Beyond’.
Jefferys says, ‘Migaloo 2 is a 45 foot fibreglass ketch bought
three years ago by Ray Thorpe, the founder of the Happy Herb
Company, with the plan that it be used for raising awareness
on marine conservation issues.’
kids sang and played didgeridoo and did ceremony, and
the whales came and joined in
solidarity. Some of the kids had
never seen a whale before and
were deeply touched. Interaction and connection
this year with the whales was
absolutely astounding. One glassy sunset saw two
young humpback whales circle
Migaloo 2 for almost an hour
rolling belly up, hoping to look
at us, eye to eye, and I’m sure
one repeated back to me ‘I love
you’ through his blow hole.
Cairns eclipse
The time came to do some
solo sailing in Migaloo 2,
which I reluctantly embraced.
Without an auto pilot and
unable to leave the wheel for
more than 15 seconds I had to
get everything ready at the beginning of the day, which often
included 10 hours (and once 25
hours) of non stop sailing in
often rough conditions.
Ten days later, when Ray
Thorpe offered me a ride overland to the eclipse, I surren-

dered to not sailing to Cairns
and left Migaloo 2 tied up securely in the Whitsundays.
Witnessing the total eclipse
of the sun by the moon was an
experience like no other. My
heart was blown wide open
again in sheer awe. How magnificent to feel clearly our place
on this Earth and our relationship with other main players
in this amazing solar system. It
was surely nature in her grandest expression.
Outer Barrier Reef
Returning to Migaloo 2, I explored the beauty of the Witsundays and the Outer Barrier
Reef. Anchoring 60 miles from
the mainland and without any
land in sight we dropped anchor in what appeared to be
pristine outer Barrier Reef with
abundant fish life.
I sailed solo again to Yeppoon where I met Ginny from
KAFTA, who is preventing coal
export terminal development in
the Fitzroy River delta. Ginny
told me how the dredging of 10
million out of the proposed 40
I sailed into Gladstone Harbour and was shocked at the
level of construction going on
on Curtis Island – it is planned
to be a huge CSG hub and coal
port extension.
I was also stunned to witness
a huge dredging cargo ship
dump its toxic load five miles
out to sea, less than 30 miles
from the Great Barrier Reef
and 50 miles from Lady Musgrave Island where we swam
with manta rays and turtles.
As I was approaching the
Brunswick Bar on my return I thought: what would
be the main message I would
take home from this amazing
journey? What can I and other
people do? Sit, swim, or walk
quietly within nature, become
inspired and empowered,
act… When you feel a pull in
your guts and when you do act,
act from a place of seeing it restored to balance and not from
fear of its destruction.
Visualise and believe in the
desired result, take personal
responsibility for what you eat,
consume less, live lightly, be
the change you want to see and
if you love life, don’t cross the
Brunswick Bar an hour after
king tide.
I am currently editing Sailing the Winds of Change that
will be screened locally soon.

Comedian tells a serious story
Mandy Nolan
Pharaoh Vs The Egyptians is
the work of Egyptian born Australian comedian, Akmal Saleh.
He returned to Egypt six
months after the 2011 revolution, when millions of citizens
engaged in a campaign of non
violent civil resistance against
the three decade regime of
president Hosni Mubarak.
And they won. This is the
people’s story.
Saleh himself is used to being centre stage, so for his first
documentary making adventure he had been intending a
more farcical tone with the comedian occupying the screen
time. All that changed when
he realised the story was far too
powerful to interrupt with his
plans to ‘make a comedy’.
‘The real people who shine
in this film,’ says Saleh, ‘are the
people I interviewed. The concept was not arty. It’s a matter
of fact telling of the story. The
idea of telling my jokes would
have been annoying!’
‘Mubarak was the most brutal of dictators. Anyone who
had the opportunity to leave
did so quickly. Everyone lived
in constant fear.
‘You could be dobbed in if
you spoke out against the government. If you were lucky you
would get tortured, otherwise
you would disappear. Millions
of people disappeared.’
‘There are no statistics,’ says
Saleh, whose own family moved
to Australia when he was 11.
‘I remember my dad was investigated for going overseas; he
brought back a radio that picked
up the BBC and he was scared
because it was illegal to have
contact with the outside world.’
In fact, it was contact with the
outside world that sparked the
uprising of January 25 or, as it
is now known, the Arab Spring.
Ironically it was access to the
internet, the very thing that
immobilises our youth, that
activated the youth of Egypt.
For the first time in their history, the people were able to
share their stories and to gain
access to the stories of those
suffering under the regime.
Egyptian born comedian Akmal Saleh will screen his documentary Pharaoh Vs The Egyptians at the Byron Bay Film Festival. It
explores the 2011 Egyptian revolution, part of what’s commonly
referred to as the ‘Arab Spring’. Photo Jeff ‘Sphinx’ Dawson
‘I was inspired when it happened because it was done by
young people who were socially aware,’ says Akmal of his initial interest in telling the story.
‘A lot were arrested and tortured. I don’t have that kind
of courage. If there was a risk
of being tortured I don’t think
I’d get involved in an uprising.’
Wealthy kids who
sparked revolution
Egypt’s history is rich with
all-powerful dictators; except
they weren’t called dictators,
they were called Pharaohs. It’s
an observation not lost on Saleh.
‘I touch on the Pharaoh story
in the beginning – they ruled
without question. They called
Mubarack Egypt’s last Pharaoh.
‘It was all about him and his
family. He controlled the media, he controlled everything.
‘Ninety per cent of the
wealth was owned by two to
three per cent of the population. They took too much and
they were too brutal, and people
had enough because in the end
there was nothing to live for.
‘Ironically it was the wealthier kids, the ones who had
computers and access to the
internet, that sparked the revolution.
‘It makes it more inspiring
because they had more to lose.’
He says the young people he
interviewed spoke with a passion that he had never seen.
‘That was very humbling. I
was an idiot at 22. I was selfish
and self obsessed.’
‘The elite do well out of any
corrupt regime; they have
made millions of dollars from
it – as for Egypt now, it’s a
new birth – I use the analogy
of a newborn baby. The whole
place is completely chaotic but
it was inevitable. I equate it to
the freeing of the slaves.
‘Their lives were worse off for
many years because before they
were freed, they had a meal and
shelter. Once they were freed,
no one would deny that it wasn’t
a good thing, but there are going to be many years before
people’s lives improve and some
sort of order is restored.
‘You can’t dismantle a regime
like that and have it fixed overnight!’ He says while filming
in the country, ‘It was still a
chaotic place to navigate, and
if you want anything done, you
pay bribes.’
Freeing of the slaves
Even in Australia, Akmal
experienced what the consequences are when speaking out
against Mubarack before the
revolution.
‘My uncle was vice president
of the Australian Arabic Doctors Association and he asked
me to do this gig for their association dinner.
‘I said I don’t want to do it –
I am not suited for it. I wasn’t
confident but they said we need
you. “You are the only Middle
Eastern performer,” they said.
‘They had a seven piece string
quartet and ice sculptures…
MP Page under fire over Landcare axing
Local state Nationals MP Don
Page has come under pressure
over his government’s planned
cuts to Landcare.
According to state parliament’s Hansard transcript from
February 19, independent MP
and former Armidale mayor
Richard Torbay says support
looks likely to be withdrawn
after a planned merger with the
Livestock, Health and Pest Authority and other authorities.
‘The government’s decision
to cut the $30 million Catchment Action NSW program
that supports Landcare and
other environmental initiawww.echo.net.au
tives from July 1 is difficult to
comprehend,’ Mr Torbay said.
‘Not only will it put at risk
the $35 million of matching funding provided by the
Commonwealth government
for natural resource management but it will also decimate
the support of many Landcare
network volunteers.
Decimate network
‘Landcare, with its 56,000
volunteers across the state, is
the green army that has transformed our agricultural and
urban landscape over the past
20 years.
He says a Commonwealth
government five year contract
to provide funds will return to
a ‘protracted negotiation phase’
with NSW now unwilling to
commit funds.
‘Since 1996 there have been
bilateral agreements between
the states and the Commonwealth covering natural resource management funding.’
Mr Page replied he had developed a ‘huge respect’ for the
work of Landcare workers and
added, ‘I am concerned to hear
what the member said and will
refer the matter to the appropriate minister.’
Bob Carr was in the audience
and the ambassador of Egypt
was also in the audience. Of
course I didn’t know that…
‘I thought I’ll make fun of
Mubarak, and the entire audience hushed. It was about 500
people. It was silent, but I kept
going.
‘I was saying things like,
“When you go to Egypt, you
see pictures of him everywhere.
“If I was that ugly I wouldn’t
portray myself in eight foot
pictures.” Then the president
of the Australian Arabic Doctors Association stood up and
said, “You shouldn’t say that
about our president!”
Akmal cops heat
‘I said, “Sit down you idiot,
he’s not your president, you
didn’t vote for him.”
‘There was not one applause
at the end of my show – you
could hear my footsteps as I
walked off the stage.
‘People were screaming at
my face. The next morning I
got a call from the Embassy
saying we are just advising
you not to visit Egypt while
Mubarak is in power and then
he hangs up.
‘Then my uncle rings, very
angry, warning me how they
find out these things about
you… “If you had said what
you had said last night in
Egypt,” he said, “you wouldn’t
be alive now. They would take
you away and shoot you.”
‘I did get a bit paranoid, because a few years before that,
there was a doctor in Sydney
called Makeen who spoke out
and he was machine gunned
outside his surgery in Sydney.
‘For the next few weeks, I
swear I could hear my phone
being tapped. There was an
echo – everyone who talked to
me mentioned it… then you
start seeing the same car following. It was a terrible few weeks.’
But thankfully it didn’t put
Akmal off.
Akmal Saleh’s documentary
feature film, Pharaoh Vs the
Egyptians, premieres at the Byron Bay Film Festival on Sunday at 7pm. The filmmakers
will be in attendance.

The tangible results of direct action
Kirsty and husband Richard leave on March 2 for a self funded African trip to provide aid to the victims of the Congo war
Eve Jeffery
For almost ten years Kirtsy Sked
has been regularly travelling to
Africa to help the survivors of
the vilest of war atrocities –
women and children who have
been the victim of rape and
whose fathers and husbands
have been murdered.
Her latest mission sees her
leave on March 2, and she will
spend close to a month in the
war-torn country of DRC – the
Democratic Republic of the
Congo. The second ongoing
war, thought to be Africa’s most
deadly, began in 1998.
Three million lives are estimated to have been lost, either
as a direct result of fighting or
because of disease and malnutrition.
On the bright side, Kirtsy says
she says she has streamlined her
trips because she has her routine down pat.
‘I have done it so many times
now that I have a bit of a system
worked out,’ she told The Echo.
‘We stay with Africans. They
are on the ground and I email
through the list of what we want;
it’s a bit like electronic shopping.
I tell them what funds I have
and tell them to get ‘X’ amount

Cabarita club raided by robbers Screenworks’ $50,000 grant
Up to five men forced entry to
the Cabarita Sports Club on
Cabarita Road, Cabarita on
Saturday morning, just before
1am, ransacking the club and
assaulting two cleaners.
Police say one of the victims
received 14 stitches after he
was struck on the head with
a pool cue during the ordeal,
and both were tied up.
Cash was stolen from the
poker machines, and one of
the victims, before the men
fled the scene.
Police are still conducting inquiries and have seized
evidence at the scene. Anyone
who witnessed the robbery or
any suspicious activity in the
vicinity of the Cabarita Road
club early Saturday morning is
urged to call Crime Stoppers on
1800 333 000 or use the Crime
Stoppers online reporting page:

Over $50,000 in federal funding was recently granted to
Northern Rivers Screenworks
through the Regional Arts
Fund and Screen Australia. The joint announcement was
made by federal MPs Janelle
Saffin (Page) and Justine Elliot
(Richmond) on Tuesday February 19 at Bangalow Heritage Museum to a gathering of
screen enthusiasts. Screenworks
general manager Jill Moonie
said, ‘We are thrilled that the
hard work put into the numerous submissions has been acknowledged through the grants
and we would like to thank the
NSW and federal governments
for their continued support of
our work.’ Professional development programs and screen
cultural events are now planned
throughout the northern rivers

Hypocrisy continues over CSG support
Yabber yabber over which major political party supports the
expanding CSG mining industry more has now extended to
federal Nationals senator, Fiona Nash. She’s accused north
coast federal MPs Justine Elliot
and Janelle Saffin of benefiting
from pro CSG unions in the
upcoming election.
‘The Australian Workers
Union announced at its Gold
Coast conference last week that
it would launch a national campaign to expand the use of coal
seam gas,’ senator Nash said. ‘Its leader, Paul Howes, has
also announced that he would
train and deploy thousands of
his members to campaign in
marginal Labor seats like Richmond and Page. The AWU
needs Saffin and Elliot in parliament so the Gillard government
survives and continues to do
the union’s bidding, including
expanding CSG mining.’
Ms Nash’s comments fail to
www.echo.net.au
address, however, the fact that
it is her own party at the state
level that administers mining
in the state.
MP Elliot responded with,
‘The fact is the Nationals are just
doing the bidding of the CSG
mining companies. These Nationals, including Fiona Nash,
Matthew Fraser, Geoff Provest,
Thomas George and Don Page,
all support the National Party’s
five point plan to expand CSG
mining on the north coast.
‘This latest media spin by
Fiona Nash is trying to divert
the public’s attention away
from the fact that the Nationals
candidate in Richmond, Matthew Fraser, supports harmful
CSG mining. In terms of this
year’s election, my campaign is
open to anyone who wants to
help stop the National Party’s
CSG expansion plan for the
north coast.’

Weed targeted in a war with no end
The never ending war on a naturally occurring plant continued this week after police claim
more than 1800 cannabis plants
were seized in the region.
As part of the 2012–2013
Cannabis Eradication Program, police say cannabis crop
sites were found in the Mul-
scope this trip and as well as
pigs, goats, hoes and seed, will
buy another two one acre plots
of land at about $500USD each.
The plots can be used by
the women to grow food for
themselves and to gain a small
income from the sale of excess
crops.
She is also looking into
providing some sort of water
storage so the women don’t
have to travel, sometimes up
to six kilometres, to access
dirty river water.
‘In some areas they actually
have more rain than Scotland,
but they just don’t have anywhere to store it.’

of this war financially can email:

done to rein in either their
depredations or their profits;
indeed, their balance sheets
show that the government has
treated them with a generosity
bordering on dissipation. Gillard and Swan talk a good fight,
but have been very reluctant to
step into the ring.
The budget will show whether they are fair dinkum or not,
and on the surface at least
they might as well throw a few
punches, because not only do
they have nothing to lose, but
they have a story to tell.
It has long been accepted
that executive pay packets have
become quite simply unconscionable; the gap between the
top and the bottom, or even the
middle, is now quite obscenely
wide. And as the rich have
grown richer, they have also
become more arrogant and
selfish; they now give proportionately less to charity than
the poor and spend far more
time and effort in rorting the
system. Last week alone assistant treasurer David Bradbury drew attention to devices
of imperial honours. No one
joined with more gusto in the
now forgotten third verse of
the hymn ‘All things bright
and beautiful’:
The rich man in his castle
The poor man at his gate;
Go made them high and lowly
And ordered their estate.
If ever there was a Bunyip
aristocrat, it was Ming, knight
of the Ancient Order of the
Thistle and Lord Warden of the
Cinq Ports.
But, false though his premise clearly was, it appealed to
the egalitarian streak in Australians, and is now considered
unchallengeable.
To take it on, Gillard and
Swan will have to do more than
simply promise the unions a
blue collar future; after all, few
present day Australians see
their own, let alone their children’s, future as a lifetime spent
on the assembly lines.
And simply shovelling more
lower and middle class welfare
into the marginals won’t cut it
either.
Not only is that unaffordable,
it doesn’t attack the real problem: the fact that the super rich
are now seen to set their own
salaries, choose whether or not
to pay tax, and cynically ignore
their obligations to the rest of
the Australian community.
If Gillard and Swan want to
be taken seriously, they will
have to cut down a few tall poppies just for starters.
The political backlash will be
fierce, but so what? Can things
get any worse?
And if ‘Eat the rich’ sounds
and little too brutal for an election slogan, then how about:
‘Time for a fair go’? Gillard, for
one, should be able to relate
to that.
tralians continued to insist that
they were not rich – well, not
really. And if they were, well
fair enough. As a letter writer
to the Sydney Morning Herald
once put it, the reason the rich
need more money than the
poor is obvious: the rich have
greater expenses.
But any attempt to introduce a modicum of restraint
into this manifestly inequitable
system is immediately greeted
with loud cries of ‘Class warfare! The politics of envy!’ by
those with the money and the
power. It is taken as a given that
there is no class in Australia,
and therefore any attempt at
closing the gaps in society is a
sinister and wrong-headed attempt to promote not equality,
but division.
Robert Menzies set the myth
in stone back in 1944. ‘We believe,’ pontificated the great
man, ‘that the class war is a

After Woolies, Station Street to cop another eyesore?
Q In their inexplicable collective wisdom the planning department of Byron Shire Council have recommended consent
for DA 10.2012.149.1.This DA
is for the residential flat building comprising five very large
units in Station Street, Mullumbimby. I strongly urge residents who objected to this DA
to attend next week’s council
meeting as it is on the agenda
and/or lobby your councillors
prior to the meeting.
Chris Cooney
Mullumbimby
In September 2012 councillors considered an application
for residential flats in Station
Street, Mullumbimby. The
planner’s report unequivocally recommended refusal. No
doubt in fear of a Land & Environment Court appeal, our
councillors resolved to defer
Q
Police assault common?
The assault of Corey Barker
by Ballina police officers is an
example of an occurrence that
is traumatic for the victim and
unfortunately all too common.
From my personal experience
at the hands of police officers
from the Tweed-Byron Target
Action Group I know just how
hard it is to get any recognition of such injustice, let alone
protection or recourse from
the law.
My own experience has
shown me that some police officers believe they can throw
their weight around and abuse
people with impunity. And it’s
hardly surprising they have this
attitude, when their colleagues
and superiors reflexively close
ranks to protect them, apparently under the misguided
belief that police officers are
beyond reproach.
There seems to be an assumption that it’s better to
falsely accuse and charge an
innocent person than admit
the police have erred. Such an
attitude may help protect the
police from accountability, but
it does nothing to serve justice
and can only undermine public trust in the police and legal
system.
No doubt the officers involved in the assault of Corey
Barker will get a slap on the
wrist, but the response from
the police force will be the
usual negation and denial of
systemic problems and the
force will remain a safe haven
for habitual liars and sadistic
thugs.

Australia Day blue
Fast Buck$’s letter (February
19) on former mayor Barham’s
council code of conduct complaint hasn’t used the best ex-
consideration until further
discussions were held with the
applicant
This resulted in an amended application purporting to
address issues of bulk, scale
and privacy. The application
was duly advertised although
it appears even the amended
scheme was further amended
without advertising. Eleven
formal submissions to the proposal, and petitions claimed
to contain 195 signatures were
lodged in objection. I have
been told there were actually
329 petition signatures of objection.
The report to be considered by Council on February
28 provides good reasons for
refusal. These include clearly
stated views that the proposal:
is still bulky in appearance and
larger in scale than surrounding houses; does not respect
the heritage of the town; is
totally unsympathetic to the
streetscape; and is inconsistent
with a number of provisions
in DCP 2010, particularly the
chapter relating to Mullumbimby.
Proximity to Woolworths is
offered as an extraordinarily
weak reason for ignoring
Mulumbimby’s recognised
heritage character and built
form. And, sadly, there is a
distinct possibility the development will be a total commercial failure. Far more intelligent
alternatives that would yield a
superior financial return and
a more sympathetic urban design and built form outcome
have not been investigated.
In essence the proposal is a
cynical attempt to obtain approval for a development that
will not be permitted under
the new LEP. Council’s officers
ample of the code’s deficiencies.
The staff complaint against
Barham arose from Barham
doing a verbal dummy spit
at the staff person facilitating the Australia Day committee, because the Australia Day
committee’s community reps
picked Ed Ahern for the Citizen of the Year. Barham’s inappropriate objection was that
Ahern, despite his charitable
work, was president of the Byron United chamber of commerce. The broad community
sent in the nominations and
the community reps on the
Australia Day committee considered the nominations and
made the final decision. The
staff person had no vote, and
no part in influencing the committee’s vote for Ed Ahern. It
was completely inappropriate
for Barham to attack the staff
person, or to object to the committee’s community reps’ democratic decision on the community’s nominations.
Barham then, inappropriately, boycotts attending any
Australia Day events. She
didn’t attend the formal event,
didn’t make Council’s annual
Australia Day address, and
didn’t do the day’s citizenship
ceremonies for those who, with
their families in attendance,
had picked this Australia Day
to become Australian citizens.
Barham then declared a ridiculous conflict of interest and
walked out when the reports of
the Australia Day events came
to the council meeting. And
to top it off, she then, with her
cohorts, descended to a veiled
attempt at ‘branch stacking’
by bringing a motion to have
many more Australia Day
events with increased reps on
the committee, presumably to
dilute the voting influence of
the committee.
The attempt to intimidate
and constrain our councillors
through the code of conduct is
an affront to their democratic
representation of us. But unfortunately Barham’s actions
in regard to the complaint sit
very well with the actions of
the rest of the undemocratic
swill that presently inhabit our
state parliament.
The pork perspective
Regarding last week’s article
by the human Ms Cosford, in
praise of charcuterie, I feel it’s
only fair that a piggy perspective (or a fair guess at one) be
considered too. Here goes…
We are good-natured and intelligent beings, as smart, if not
smarter, than your dog or cat.
We accept that humans like to
eat us… can’t do much about
that craving for charcuterie
and pork dishes. As long as we
are allowed to have a happy
life, while it lasts, we have to
accept that this (the chop) is
what they keep us for. If, however, we are to be sacrificed for
your pleasure at the end, letting us have a life, with grass,
mud, sunshine, rain, other pigs
and letting us raise our piglets,
seems like the very least you
can offer us in return.
Remembering that we are
intelligent animals, can you
tell us why humans think they
have the right to lock us up in
tiny enclosures, fatten us up
without letting us have one bit
of sunlight, fresh air or enjoyment? Hundreds of thousands
of us are kept, year in year out,
in indoor enclosures so small
we can only move a few inches
each side, slopping around in
filth, our piglets taken from us,
and nothing to do but stand
there and listen to the sad
grunts and squeals of others
like us in other tiny enclosures.

The proposal, if built, will
be a permanent suppurating

Q It would appear that Byron
has gone committee crazy.
Having already suffered the
indifference of the BU attempt on tourism promotion,
we now have VIA Byron getting into the act for much of
the same, shire wide and now a
new round of committees will
be formed for the Byron community.
It is pretty simple. Byron
Shire is on the world map
already. There is no need to
promote the Shire, it’s already
iconic. Shut down the alcohol venues at one o’clock in
the morning and ensure all
‘holiday lets’ become legal. The
town’s image as a mecca for late
night party-goers will diminish quickly worldwide via social media. The youth will go
to other towns where they are
permitted to drink to the wee
hours, where there are more
police to handle the riots, so
ours aren’t fighting every weekend shift and where locals don’t
need to sleep.
There will be less tourist accommodation houses available if there is a moratorium
on all holiday lets becoming
registered and legal. Numbers
will be down for a short time,
for sure, however we can plan
for our infrastructure to cope
again, traffic management can
be implemented, residents will
be able to sleep and there will
be an ever increasing number of
new legal holiday accommodation venues being built or converted for the next few years.
This in effect will provide
jobs, appropriate rate revenue
for Council to fix roads, etc and
in the end a higher end Byron
accommodation option for
tourists that will pour money
into all businesses rather than
simply the late night fast food
outlets and alcohol shops.
Rental money, that normally
flowed out of the town for nonrated ‘investor houses’ at present will have a better chance of
staying in the town. The young
ones will return for sure – that’s
Byron – but by our community
rules not theirs.
In this way all the committees
can then slow down a little to
get it right again and local people can begin to get on again, a
word called kindness may reemerge and Byron can return
back to normal. What is the
rush really? One can find that
in our glorious cities. It may be
a little slower for the business
committees for a short time
and some community members
may suffer; however, the town
will again have some respect
and the committees can have
more time to plan. We can keep
our Shire unique.
It’s a good thing whales don’t
have committees as they may
choose to swim via Fiji or Bali,
like where Aussie tourists seem
to be heading these days, missing Byron altogether.

maintenance and renewal.
Community members are
invited onto such ‘advisory
committees’ to help us get
down to the nitty-gritty of issues such as this. I hope this
committee will get to the bottom of the potholes issue, for
example. It won’t be a place to
lobby for everything to be repaired or replaced right now.
There’s no debate on that – we
all want it. It’ll be about detailing how to do the best we can
on Shire infrastructure (like
roads, bridges, footpaths); to
optimise and prioritise; to examine budgets; to get hold of
grants; and whatever else we
can come up with.
If you have skills in public asset management and/or
energy to contribute, please

meeting, however, Cr Simon Richardson declared he
thought the committee should
focus only on Byron Bay.
When I spoke to [chairman] Chris Hanley following
the meeting, he said he was
sorry I was disappointed.
I am not only disappointed, I am deeply concerned.
The Community Forum has
talked about lobbying for
funding and to influence
decision making in Council
and the state government. I
am concerned that the Byron
Bay Community Forum will
in fact lobby on behalf of a
number of vocal residents of
Byron Bay, while inferring
it represents a vision for the
Shire.
This has already occurred at
last week’s Council meeting.
Rose Wanchap asked that a
point be included in a motion
about tow away zones, that the
Byron Bay Community Forum be consulted to identify
problem areas. Despite a few
councillors pointing out that
the problem exists in other areas, like Tyagarah and Brunswick Heads, no similar rights
of consultation were afforded
to these communities.
I am also concerned that
the mayor of Byron Shire has
chosen to direct his energy
to taking a leading role in a
group, originally supposed to
be open to the whole Shire,
that in fact primarily focuses
on issues about anti-social behaviour in Byron Bay. Is that
unreasonable given he is the
mayor of Byron Shire, not just
the mayor of Byron Bay?
didn’t mind it at all.
Which comes to the crux of
the matter. The punters, the
shoppers, the ones who the
farmers rely on to buy their
produce, loved it. This warm
and fuzzy idea created an extra
buzz and I’m sure it was a great
boost to the many families who
won it over the years. Please
bring it back.

High price of happiness
I would like to comment about
a conference that will be taking
place next month in the Byron
Community Centre. The conference, the Economics of Happiness, is a fantastic initiative to
strengthen the community and
discuss issues relevant to all of
us. The conference empowers individuals to be part of
a movement many of us have
been waiting for.
The cost of this three day
event is, however, unaffordable
for many. The conference features implications of modern,
capitalist society and questions
the status quo. Does the conference not contribute to the
business-as-usual attitude by
charging such a large fee? Personally, I would love to attend
to and be inspired by visionaries and discuss a healthier
future for all. Wouldn’t we all?

Restoring Belongil nature’s way

H
ere’s a seaside story that
not many people know.
I learned it bit by bit
over years walking and snorkelling. In the last few months,
mask on face, I lay me into
shallow waters and explored
newly formed gutters and sand
bars inshore at Byron Bay. This
seabed is an integral, oft forgotten part of ‘the beach’. Bend
your mind with me as I tell of
being a monitor from inside
the body of water.
The sweep along the beach
pulls but I grip newly exposed
rocks and peer at fish smaller
than my fingers that are now in
residence. Holding my breath,
I dip down the few metres to
bottom and let go. Like a tired
marine mammal, I am carried
along and washed up much
further along. Over many such
‘rides’, I sense for myself changes in the underwater beach.
Walking ‘the beach’ above
water, I shift my monitoring
senses to wide angle and extend my awareness from the
Headland to Tyagarah. Watching patterns of runoff plumes,
I can see results of the coastal
studies of 1978 still hold. There
is still a sweep up the coast outside the rocky headland and
more sand leaves than enters
the bay. True, much sand has
left the bay forever by road due
to mining. But what is in the
bay also shifts from underwater to above and back again. I
know that rhythm.
Here, the Wollongbar wreck
gets covered. There, Tassie lll
gets exposed. Other rocky reefs
clear and cover. Where macro
seaweed grows thicker, that
reef resists sand, which settles
elsewhere. Where dune vegetation is restored, the beach
above water stabilises sand
more so than not, endlessly rebalancing.
Magical thinking
If an Indian shaman were to
say that the asteroid that recently visited us and the meteor that explode over Russia
was a message from the heavens, a warning to mankind that
we need to turn from our wayward lifestyles and from being
lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God, we may very
well give it thought.
But a shaman didn’t say this.
The Bible says that in the last
days these things will be prevalent in society. Luke 22.25: ‘And
there will be signs in the sun, in
the moon, and in the stars [astral bodies]; and on the earth
distress of nations.’ If we don’t
take heed of these warnings,
they will bear witness against
us.

Where the dune vegetation
is broken up, the land ‘beach’
is out of alignment with the
underwater one. The bay is
awkward like a great beast
with chunks of its guts torn
out, and then patched badly
with the wrong materials. One
‘mend’, around ‘Main Beach’,
is transplanted rocks buttressing a section and forming a
short groyne. Nowadays, no
one would add any such rocks
on a sandy open ocean beach.
Rocks are only used on gravel
and shingle seabeds. Somehow,
this ‘mend’ is strongly consolidated. Perhaps the curve of bay,
the underwater beach wrecks
and reefs together with above
water vegetation compensate.
Spit immobilised by
construction
Further north, the above
water beach reveals a sand
spit sheltering an intermittently closed estuary called
Belongil. Since 1885, the once
flexible sand spit was increasingly immobilised by construction. Erosion was enhanced. A
twenty centimetre rise in sea
level over last century destabilised the spit to 10–30 metres back from the sea. More
than fifty years ago, a section
with an entire street on it was
washed away. In the 1970s, car
bodies and rocks were dumped

of the government’s Green Paper. I was told that I couldn’t

register my interest and was
given a sheet of paper written
by NSW Planning and Infrastructure which did nothing
to allay my concerns.
I peeped into the great hall
of the Civic and saw just three
tables, each with two consultants who were there to answer questions of ‘the public’.

Intellectual property is murder
Kevin Carson
A
For years, global digital copyright treaties and the
IP provisions of assorted ‘free trade’ agreements
have been drafted in secret by proprietary content
industries. Even the digital copyright laws of
ostensibly independent countries are drafted by
lobbyists from those same industries, then rubberstamped by the national parliaments, with most
members never even having a chance to read them.
For example, a large batch of the diplomatic cables
released by WikiLeaks showed that the US content
industries essentially wrote New Zealand’s legislation
– and the US government even offered to fund New
Zealand’s copyright enforcement police at American
taxpayer expense. (One New Zealand citizen was
actually arrested in New Zealand by FBI agents.)
Since the USA is exporting its own corporationfriendly laws to other countries, and using ‘free
trade’ agreements as a means to enforce them, it is
essential to examine those laws closely. After all, in
the USA it is the polluting industries that get to write
the environmental laws..
mong the terms of a socalled ‘free trade agreement’ being negotiated
between the European Union
and India is a requirement for
‘data exclusivity’ which will
eviscerate India’s generic drug
industry.
‘Data exclusivity’ means that
clinical trials conducted before
marketing by the company that
originally produced the drug
cannot be applied to meet government safety or efficacy requirements for the generic version. Each separate company
that wants to market a generic
version of a patented drug will
first have to conduct its own
clinical trials as a precondition.
That directly contradicts one of
the arguments commonly put
forward by patent apologists –
that patents are an antidote to
trade secrets because they re- berg Laws a civil rights act. The

– so-called ‘me, too drugs.’
Second, a great deal of the
basic research on which drug
development is based is carried
out at government expense in
publicly funded universities.
Around half of the overall cost
of drug R&D is taxpayer-funded. And in the United States,
under the terms of legislation
passed in the 1980s, the patents
on drugs developed entirely
at taxpayer expense are given
away – free of charge – to the
drug companies that produce
and market them.

live in may be liable for land tax?
Register now to avoid being charged penalties
or interest.
If you own property in NSW other than your principal place of residence,
with a total land value of more than $406 000, you need to register with
the NSW Office of State Revenue for land tax. Property includes vacant

Third, most of the actual
R&D cost for developing drugs
comes not from testing the
version of a drug actually marketed, but from securing patent
lockdown on all the other major
possible variants.
Another example of this phenomenon is Monsanto’s patents
on ‘high-yield varieties,’ one of
the ostensible benefits of the socalled ‘Green Revolution.’ Such
varieties, as Frances Moore
Lappe points out, are more accurately called ‘high-response
varieties.’ That is, they’re not
hardy or resilient under the
normal conditions experienced
by local peasant subsistence
farmers, like native varieties that
were developed over the course
of many generations to be hardy
under local conditions. Rather,
they’re engineered to produce
high yields under artificial conditions like heavy applications
of expensive synthetic fertiliser
and government-subsidised irrigation water.
‘High-yield’ seeds like Monsanto’s genetically modified
varieties, in other words, are
ideally suited to the needs of
large-scale cash crop agribusiness on plantations owned
by sundry landed oligarchies
around the Third World – usually on land stolen from evicted
peasants whose traditional titles
to subsistence plots were nullified – with preferential access
to government-subsidised irrigation. So Monsanto’s seeds
are associated with a particular
business model which is rendered artificially profitable by
the state against subsistence
production.

The practical effect is to shift
production from widely distributed small subsistence holdings
to large-scale commercial production for the export or urban markets. Under pressure of
eviction (essentially a modernday re-enactment of the commons enclosures) and statesubsidised competition, people
who were formerly able to feed
themselves on their own land
now lack the purchasing power
to buy food from the landed oligarchs’ agribusiness plantations.
And Monsanto’s patents,
which criminalise saving seed,
add insult to injury by ensuring
that the seeds remain too expensive for any small producer
who might otherwise be able to
afford them.
The words ‘intellectual property’ should be emblazoned on
the standards of two horsemen

GROW YOUR OWN FRUIT
Ha’veli furniture gallery owner Heidi is passionate about
ethical recycling and taking a sustainable philosophy with
everything she sources, selects and redesigns, making unique
pieces of ‘furniture with a history’.
Everyone loves stone fruit, and you can grow your own here
on the north coast. They flower beautifully in winter/spring,
and then fruit in September through to about December. They
usually only grow to about three metres tall, and there are
some dwarf varieties that are only half that size.
Make sure you choose a variety that will fruit in our climate.
The Tropical Angel Peach grows to approximately
three metres by three metres, and is covered
in pink blossom in spring. It bears sweet,
flattened fruit with yellow flesh.
Nectarine White Satin bears lovely
white fleshed fruit and has a great
flavour.
Super Dwarf Sunset peach and
nectarines grow to only 1–1.5
metres tall, and can be grown
successfully in pots or in gardens.
They have lovely red foliage,
and pink blossom in winter/early
spring. Both produce an abundance
of full sized fruit – the nectarine has
yellow flesh and the peach has white
flesh.
If you want to grow an apple tree, then Anna is a good
one that produces delicious red-skinned fruit. It grows only
3m tall and is suitable for pots and containers.
Peaches, nectarines apples, and nashis are all self
pollinating so you only need one tree. They will become
highly productive in 2–3 years.

JAMES HILL IS ONE OF THE BEST
UKULELE PLAYERS ON THE PLANET. HE
IS A COMPOSER AND INNOVATOR. WHAT
HE CAN DO ON A UKE IS OUT OF THIS
WORLD.
His partner Anne Janelle is a wonderful cellist, singer/
songwriter and performer. They are headlining the
Melbourne Uke Festival… and visiting Newcastle and
Mullumbimby on this very, very brief tour… so it is
most likely the only time in Australia you will be able
to witness them in such an intimate setting. Don’t miss
your chance to say ‘I was there’.
James, why do you think there has been such a reinvention of the ukulele? I think people are looking for
an antidote to the fast-paced, high-tech, there’s-an-appfor-that world we’re living in. The ukulele connects real
people in the real world with real music. It’s a beautiful
thing.
What is it about the instrument do you think that
people find so accessible? It’s easy to learn. It taps into
the DIY spirit. Even a novice player can make a decent
sound pretty much right away. It also has a built-in
sense of humour. The ukulele sounds like a smile.
Do you think that uke music is taken seriously
by the industry or is it still maligned by its ‘toy’
appearance? It’s a bit maligned but not anywhere near
as bad as it has been in the past. It’s gaining respect,
slowly but surely!
Do you ever get bored teaching beginners? How
do you stay fresh? Not really. Teaching a beginner is
like watching a baby walk for the first time: it’s always
amazing. Everyone wants something slightly different
from the uke; that’s where the challenge comes in. To
understand the person behind the student, their needs
and dreams.
What are you looking for when you are writing a
song? What are the stories or narratives that you
might decide to tell? Insight. I mean, if people are
going to sit there and listen for a few minutes I’d better
have something insightful to share, ideally something
that’s specific enough to be concrete but universal
enough to resonate with many.
What is your songwriting and melody making
process? Lyrics first. Then, take the natural rhythms
and pitches of the words and just amplify them. That’s
almost always my starting point. After that, you just let
instinct and experience take over.
Tell me about you and Anne – how did you two first
meet, and then start playing together? We met at
the University of British Columbia school of music; we
were both studying there. I couldn’t get a degree on the
uke so I had started playing viola (I’d played violin as a
kid). So we met in the symphony. Literally, eyes across a
crowded stage!
Is there a chemistry between players that can’t
be explained? Why do you think there is synergy
with some and not with others? Yes, just like there’s
synergy between people. Music is a conversation, just
in a different language. I think everyone knows that
feeling of having coffee with someone and have time
fly because the chemistry was right. And the feeling of
trying to converse with someone who just isn’t on the
same wavelength. It’s just the same in music. You have
to talk and listen in complementary ways.
How do you keep pushing the uke? Do you find its
limitations are in fact a bonus at times? Definitely.
As an artist, limits are your best friend. There’s nothing
more terrifying (and uninteresting) than an artist
without limits.
What would you say is most important in playing
uke and creating technique? Following the muse.
You have to do what you feel and stay in touch with
that feeling as it changes, because it will. I used to be
obsessed with scales and strumming technique, now I’m
obsessed with songwriting and spontaneity. You have to
go where the muse leads you.
What should we expect for your Mullum workshop
and concert? Each concert is like a fingerprint, every
show has its own special magic. There’ll be lots of great
music, some laughs and a few surprises.
Workshop 3pm and Concert 5pm, Mullumbimby
Ex-Services Club. Tickets available www.ukemullum.
com or at the door on the day. $20 for the workshop
/ $20 for the concert or $35 for both. Family options

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
Alright people of Australia, time to start minding your mouth,
because that flippantly delivered smartarse comment could land
you in some serious trouble! If Labor chooses to adopt new antidiscrimmination laws then its is going to be unlawful to insult
or offend people. Oh my god! That goes to the very heart of the
Australian identity. Pubs will be empty, or full of people giving each
other back massages and handing out compliments and affirmations. ‘Bob, have I ever told you how that blue singlet brings out
your eyes?’ We are Australians, we like to take the piss. It’s how we
bond with people. When someone turns up to a party looking all
spruced up, instead of saying ‘Wow, you look amazing’ (that's what
an American would say), we go ‘Gees, you’re a bit overdressed. Left
the old man at home? Looking for a new husband, love?’ That's a
compliment. It means you not only look good, if you bothered, you
could pull a root. While I’m all for laws to protect people from being
discriminated against, I wonder what kind of Nanny State we’d be
living in if Julia turns up at the front door ready to wash your mouth
out with soap for calling the woman who stole your car space a ‘fat
pig.’ I mean at what point does the state step in to protect us, deciding that because we’re not white men that we need some sort of
special protection? I don’t like being called a fat pig, but you know
what, I can take it. In fact there’s not much you can yell at me that I
can’t take. I’ve been called it all. I’m not about to curl up into foetal
position and rock myself to sleep in the corner because I’m just a
silly woman and you’ve hurt my feelings. I don’t want laws legislat-
ing what people can say to me, or other women, disabled people,
Aboriginal people, non-English speakers, homosexuals, lesbians and
those of us considered so vulnerable and marginalised that we need
protection by the state. If a people need legislation or laws to set
what is appropriate and sensitive cultural or interpersonal behaviour
than I think you’ve lost the battle in the first place. It’s not kindergarten. Suddenly people will be going, ‘don’t call Mandy a fat pig.
She can’t take it. She’ll call the cops again.’ And given the power, I
will. Imagine calling triple-O to report the offence. ‘Hello officer, I am
ringing to report a crime. I was called ‘Fat Pig’. Next minute the cops
are at the door ready to arrest my kids. But then I open the door and
they go, ‘hang on love, you are a fat pig. That wasn’t an insult. That
was a descriptive statement. Under the current anti-discrimmination
laws descriptive statements are still allowed.’Lets face it, its generally
your family and loved ones who are going to insult and offend you.
I googled ‘insults for Australians’ and found a list of insults to use
on Australians for travellers, written by, yes, you guessed it: an
Australian! We’re so into this insulting thing, we’re writing the visitor script. It’s how we help new arrivals out. This particular blogger
suggested telling Australians that ‘Australia was just like America,
that we’re all criminals as we are descended from convicts and that
the Aussie cricket team are a bunch of cheats.’ Being offensive is
the passport to good social integration! Aussies are rude. When
your mother leans over and whispers in your ear about your new
boyfriend ‘He’s got a face like a smashed crab’, you know she’s
giving the okay. My grandmother short circuited any self esteem
I had been building as a teenager with a comment on my close
set eyes. ‘Like two pissholes in the snow’ she said. It was hurtful,
but introduced me to the power of the metaphor. Insults can be
creative. We’ve come up with some classics. For someone who’s got
poor management skills: ‘couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery’,
and will go towards the bands and
the next big show.

Kingswood are a four-piece indie

which saw them open the Byron Bay

They played 85 ballistic shows all

for an unattractive fella ‘He has a head on him like a sucked mango’,
for those afflicted by poor driving skills ‘couldn’t drive a greasy stick
up a dog’s arse’ and of course for someone like Tony Abbott ‘He
must have two penises, he couldn’t be that stupid from pulling one.’
Or for the fellow down the road you can’t stand ‘I wish his dad had
settled for a blow job’. The one I don’t quite get is ‘go and stick your
head up a dead bear’s bum’, but like most Aussie-isms it's definitely
both insulting and offensive and now, potentially
illegal! I’m a comedian. I have spent 27 years being
insulting and offensive. Oh well, I should just shut
my cake hole and wait for the coppers.

WEEKEND
THE SOUND OF THE SPIRIT
HEADING HERE FROM NEW ORLEANS,
TUBA SKINNY BRING THE BIG BRASS
DIRTY STREET SOUND TO COORABELL
HALL ON SATURDAY, ALONGSIDE
LOCAL FAVOURITES POTATO POTATO.
Welcome back to Australia! What is the band
looking forward to on this visit? We’re looking
forward to seeing our old fans, making new
ones and seeing more of the land. Looking
forward to driving the Great Ocean Road…
We’re looking forward to recording in Tasmania.
Can you tell us a little about how Tuba Skinny
came about? We met because we were all
interested in playing early music on acoustic
instruments out on the street… and that’s how
we met! Out on the streets in New Orleans. The
band formed spontaneously.
The group look like such an intriguing bunch,
describe each of the members in a word?
Robin: The Writer
Todd: The Animal.
Barnabus: The Dog
Ryan: The Enigma
Erika: The Bull
Westen: The Vaudevillian
Jon: The Grampa
Shay: The Maestro
New Orleans music is rich with many
incredible artists and sounds. What are some
of the group’s influences – and what else
do you listen to? We listen to early jazz and
delta blues from the 1920s. We love jug band
music and current brass band music from New
Orleans. We are influenced by the music we
listen to as above and also the musicians in New
Orleans.
What has been one of your strangest
experiences on the road? We run into friends
young
p
atter
eople m
all over the world. We ran into a bunch of friends
in a small, small town in Mexico recently. It’s
weird being at the opposite ends of the world
and running into old friends.
What is behind the name TUBA SKINNY? There
was an important tuba player from New Orleans
who is no longer alive called Tuba Fats. He was
important in keeping music on the street legal.
Todd kinda earned the nickname Tuba Skinny
one year because he’s really skinny and people
kept seeing him lugging a tuba around… so in a
homage to Tuba Fats we named the band Tuba
Skinny.
Describe some differences between
American and Australian audiences and
shows. In America, most of our fans are a bit
older. We find that in Australia we’re getting a
great response from younger people, which
is exciting because it keeps the energy at our
shows a bit more lively with all the people
getting up to dance.
What has been your highlight when touring
down under? Being able to spend time in
the bush. It’s really quite a different work over
here… very beautiful… we got to spend some
time in Tasmania and the Blue Mountains, and
the bush is very different over here. We’ve never
experienced anything like it and we feel lucky to
be able to do so.
Name some of your favourite Australian
artists/musicians? CW Stoneking is a big hit
within our band. We loved Hanggai, but they’re
Chinese and we saw them in Australia. We
actually play a couple of CW’s songs in our set!
What can audiences expect from your show
at Coorabell Hall? Perhaps some nudity… A lot
of dancing… some jazz rags.

This year the Byron Spirit Festival is presenting nighttime events in two venues

CHRIS
Monks of Tibet (returning
to Mullum in time to parARONSTEN AT

leader Lewis Walker, and
TUESDAY
Vesica Pisces and Lady
Lynx. Revering the four
elements, enlisting sacred
sounds, fusing light, sacred
decor and the powerful
energy of the gathering of
like souls, we will embody,
activate and awaken all the
senses. The Future Sound
of Yoga and Hawaii’s Nahko
& Medicine for the People
will then take the room on
a tribal dance journey. Over
at the Civic Hall, the Sacred
Sufi Shabbat Fusion offers the exquisite kirtan of
Sacred Earth, followed by Avishai Barnatan and
Amir Paiss’s original prayers, blessings and music
on the Friday night shabbat, followed by the
mystical verses and sound of Sufi poetry sung in
Urdu, Farsi, Hindi and Punjabi with the esteemed
Tahir and the Qawwali Ensemble.
Saturday night offerings at Temple High commence with a guided Yoga Nidra within a traditional kirtan form with the delightful Edo and Jo,
followed by the launch of Kevin James-Carroll’s
long-awaited brand new CD of anthemic, heartstirring songs and chants. This night of transformational singing concludes with the amazing
Dave Stringer, a Los Angeles-based chanter whose
worldwide mission
is to mix traditional
kirtan with the wild
exuberance of rockin’,
gospel-tinged groove
and power. The Civic
Hall Saturday night
opens with a sacred
Cacao Ceremony followed by a Kundalini
Yoga sequence,
perfectly preparing
all for the modern
electronic synergy of
Temple Step Project,
followed by the inimitable, Kundalini-raising
live sounds of Wild
Marmalade’s didj and
dance beats. The evening concludes with DJ Shaman supreme, Dakini,
creating an ethnic and sacred bass music dance
journey designed for release and transformation
– weaving ancient and modern sounds to create
an ‘intentional dancefloor temple’. On Sunday at
Mullum High, the Gratitude Ceremony will use
the Dream Drone to re-balance all the weekend’s
energetic input, followed by the delectable
singer/songwriter Saritah. Nahko & Medicine for
the People will play their final festival set to insure
that hearts, bodies and souls, are happy, harmonious, united, and at peace!
Weekend pass holders may go between venues
on each night!

ARONSTEN AT
THE RAILS
Byron based singer/
songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Chris
Aronsten remains a
unique and unashamedly Australian
voice, although you
could be forgiven for
thinking he was born
in Ireland.
Aronsten plays guitar,
mandolin, fiddle,
DEE DEE LAVELL AT THE
harmonica, spoons
and stompbox. And
RAILS ON SATURDAY
there is no shortage
of energy in his solo
performance. A typical
concert includes original
songs and selected covers
played on the various
instruments. He blends
the songs with fiddle
tunes, American-style
bluegrass flat-picking on
guitar, and instrumentals on mandolin. Rails
on Tuesday.
Every year Blues Festival director Peter Noble says ‘this is the best
Blues Festival yet’. In fact, he’s famous for it. And many years he’s
right on the money, but this year, I am going to say it before he
gets a chance. I reckon that this is the best Blues Festival lineup
yet. It’s such an impressive bill that it’s almost impossible not to
find at least a bunch of acts that you would kill to see. For me
it would be Iggy Pop. As a longtime fan from his Stooges days,
I’m surprised the guy is still alive let alone still wanting to be
your dog. He must be the world’s most high octane senior! Then
there’s Paul Simon. I think you’d be lying if you didn’t admit that
there wasn’t a Simon and Garfunkel lurking in your collection
somewhere, that you didn’t get goosebumps when he sang ‘coo
coo ca choo Mrs Robinson’, especially now when you are Mrs
Robinson. Ben Harper continues to deliver music to move your
soul, there’s Status Quo… Jimmy Cliff, Santana, and hang on, I
forgot to mention Robert Plant. In fact in one weekend it’s possible to see nearly every musical mover and shaker on the planet.
And we have a 5-day double pass to give away to a lucky reader
who wants a genuinely life changing experience. For full festival
lineup go to www.bluesfest.com.au, and to win tix, email gigs@
echo.net.au and please, only one entry per person! Please title it
Blues Pest… because, dear reader, I know you are going to hassle
the hell out of me. It’s like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket… everyone
wants the prize!

Seven really is the lucky number for the 7th Byron Bay
International Film Festival presented by The Owners Club at
Linnaeus, as it announces its biggest ever official selection of
over 220 cutting edge independent films including 13 world
premieres and a record 122 additional Australian premieres to
screen in cinemas around the northern rivers over 10 days from
Friday until Sunday 10 March. The thought-provoking, inspiring
and entertaining lineup includes films for interests ranging from
culture, human evolution, social issues and environmental sustainability, through to music, dance, surf, sexuality and even outer
space. Among the wealth of world premieres, highlights include
Pharaoh vs the Egyptians, the debut documentary feature film
from Australian-Egyptian comedian, Akmal Saleh, about the Arab
Spring. As the Dust Settles shares the Burning Man experience in a
very intimate and personal way as five filmmakers document their
first time in the Black Rock Desert. McDonald Masada follows one
strange and fascinating man and his ukulele on a musical journey
through Israel to wake the world from its consumerist slumber. And
CHESS
by Ian Rogers
Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm
AGON, headed by American
millionaire Andrew Paulsen, is
the body owning exclusive rights
to organise and commercialise
the world chess championship
cycle for the next ten years.
AGON’s first real test will be
the candidates tournament in
London, where an elite group of
eight will be fighting to become
World Champion Viswanathan
Anand’s next challenger.
However, for AGON’s business
model to succeed, they desperately need Magnus Carlsen to
win in London and qualify for
the world title match.
The brilliant Norwegian – at
home both as a grandmaster and
a fashion model – is the only
player with the profile to turn a
traditional world championship
match into a multi-million dollar
payday for himself, Anand and
AGON. Some have gone so far
as to suggest that if Carlsen fails
to win in London, AGON will
abandon the whole chess project,
leaving the world body FIDE –
which has reportedly failed to
collect any fees due from Paulsen
– red-faced and searching for a
plan B.

now finds himself is dire straits. Urkedal probably avoided 12...Nc6! because of 13.Qh5+

SURF MOVIE AT THE BACKROOM
Otis Carey is synonymous with everything punk in the surfing world. Kill the Matador is a human interest piece portrayed
through the journey of a punk surf film. An abstract and visual
portrayal of a unique and enigmatic professional surfer.
Aggressive, quirky, artistic and raw. The artistic and erratic film aesthetic has been directed to mirror Otis Carey’s personality and character in and out of the water. The punk and at times instrumentally
abstract soundtrack has been curated to mirror the visual narrative.
Screening at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday at 8pm.

Sydney born and raised, Kate Little has had a passion for the performing and healing arts for what
she admits feels like forever. She’s studied Kahuna,
Kundalini, and Chaos! She worked as an assistant
publicist at Bluesfest; has been the director of the
Global/Healing Village at Splendour in the Grass
for the last eight years and now she’s the cocreator of the Spirit Festival with Alex Grant.
What is the main inspiration for the Byron
Spirit Festival? We are inspired to create an event
that is a reflection and expression of our diverse
community. We hope to unite and celebrate the
various different spiritual practices available to us
today and gather the best teachers and performers from around the world to represent these
forms.
After such a successful first festival last year,
what are you doing differently this year? Last
year we were so grateful to receive such overwhelming support from both our local community and visitors, so we feel our format just needs
grounding, not changing. We are expanding
our evening concert series so our audience can
choose between two amazing venues and we
have expanded our daytime workshop series to
offer over 150 talks, sound journeys, classes and
workshops. We have also expanded our Healing
Village and have some new modalities on offer.
How do you select the teachers? Do they
contact you, or do you go out and source the
talent? A bit of both. We had over 200 applications from people wanting to teach this year! And
we are committed to travelling to other similar
festivals around the world to source the world’s
leaders in their particular forms.
How will you be engaging the community
of Mullumbimby and Byron Shire throughout the weekend? We will again be offering
the Spirit Village, that surrounds the Civic Hall
(weather permitting), free to our community.
With amazing performances on the Spirit Stage,
a Drum Journey Tipi, a specific program offered
by YouthSpeak, a kids’ village, amazing food and
a vast area of healing forms. We are also collaborating with installation artist Amanda King
to create ‘recycled rongoli’ with the community.
She’s one of the tops in her field, and just completed the War Horse that stands in front of the
theatre where War Horse is playing! We have also
sourced some great performers and teachers
from within our amazingly talented community!
What are you most looking forward to, personally, at the festival? I am really inspired by the
power of collective creativity, as I feel that is an
ultimate expression of my spiritual practice. The
energy that is generated when we are co-creating
for a unified purpose is, for me, one of the most
powerful healing experiences possible!
Let’s hear your hot tips for the not-to-bemissed presenters and performers? I am loving
the music and raw energy of Nahko & Medicine
for the People and these will be their last shows
in Australia this tour! I am really excited about the
evening concert series that bridge workshop and
performance, creating a more integrated experience. I am also interested to hear the youth / elders forum with our mayor and I feel Deva Premal
& Miten’s musical satsang Sunday morning will be
divine! What I love most though… is the sense of
discovery available for each of us!

Woolgathering

Review by Kathryn Lyster
This is only a small book – hardback,
with a painted peasant girl and her
sheep flock on the cover – but
don’t be fooled by the size. In it
you will find Patti Smith’s poetic
and moving accounts of sacred
and enchanted moments from her
early years. Completed on her forty
fifth birthday and now reprinted
twenty years later, Woolgathering is
a luminous and poignant memoir.
It reveals a stark bohemian, stark,

three vigorous, innovative and
absorbing minutes. From America, Peruvian writer/
director Alonso Mayo’s The Story
Of Luke is a quiet, heartwarming observation of an outsider’s
clumsy attempts at acceptance. Autistic, motherless Luke
goes to live with his cousins
when his grandfather becomes
incapable of caring for him.
Like most young men, Luke is
primarily interested in losing
his virginity, but the character
initially feels overdrawn and
unnatural – we first meet him
at a funeral, wearing odd shoes
– but Mayo stealthily wins you
over, treating a potentially glum
scenario with a rare lightness of
touch. As a stranger in a strange
land, Luke unknowingly affects
those he encounters as much
as they impact on him – in the
end I couldn’t help feeling really
happy for the bloke.
Otelo Burning, from South
Africa, is a different kettle of fish
altogether. It is 1989 and, with
the release of Nelson Mandela
imminent, Otelo and a couple of
his friends are taken under the
wing of Mandla, who teaches
them how to surf ‘like the whites
do.’ Otelo finds freedom on
his board, but his township is
being torn apart by the bitter
and increasingly violent struggle between Inkhata and the
ruling authorities. A shocking
death – though not as graphic
as what we are now accustomed
to, the scene is deeply disturbing – leads Otelo to his ultimate,
painful liberation.
These and others – Baikonur,
about a Mongol peasant who
falls in love with a French
astronaut; Electric Children,
the strange tale of a thirteenyear-old’s flight from a cultish
outpost when she finds that
she is pregnant through an
immaculate conception – are
all part of the Festival’s rich and
varying menu.

that is anything like the one in
which this cosy and endearing
piece is set, I would not dread
the approach of my twilight
years nearly so much – being in
the charge of a caring, beautiful blonde doctor (Sheridan
Smith) wouldn’t be entirely
objectionable either. Beecham
House (after Sir Thomas, the
famous conductor), a gorgeous
stone manor surrounded by
what looks like a manicured
Capability Brown landscape, is
the last port of call for retired
classical musicians. I did not
believe for one minute that Billy
Connolly (as Wilf) might one
day have been an opera singer
of renown, but it’s a piffling
matter, for he, in ensemble with
Tom Courtenay (Reggie), Pauline
Collins (Cissy) and Maggie Smith
(Jean), are all on-song and playing to type. Wilf, the waggish
Lothario (‘your music brought
tears to my ears’) and the others
are called upon to sing a quartet
from Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto
at an upcoming gala fundraiser
(2013 marks the composer’s
centenary). The group’s major
hurdle is to overcome the recalcitrance of Jean, from whom
Reggie was bitterly estranged
until she arrived unannounced
at Beecham. In his directorial
debut, Dustin Hoffman does not
hit a false note. This is the work
of a veteran who has been in
a lot of movies and, aiming to
please, knows unerringly how to
achieve that goal. Gently paced,
with just the right balance of
light and shade – albeit without
ever scratching very deeply
below the surface of occasional
despair at physical decline
and the recurring melancholy
that goes hand in glove with
constant memory – honesty and
hope prevail. The latter virtue
is underscored by a shrewd but
essential inclusion of young
people, including a surprisingly touching scene in which
a black boy tries to explain rap
to Reggie. There’s also plenty of
Verdi to offer a heavenly alternative to the gunfire and bloodied
corpses that we have come to
unquestioningly accept as de
rigueur. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide
THURSDAY 28
1. A critical and box office success in 2010, the clever SF
movie Inception (Go! Sunday, 8.30pm) is well worth a reprise.
Computer generated film-making can be an excuse to let
visuals take over from plot, but playing with realities within
realities the director here is justified in creating spectacular
dreamscapes. Beware: the ending is not straightforward.
2. Ian Carmichael and Terry Thomas star in Lucky Jim (Gem
Monday, noon), along with most of the tiny repertory of
British film actors from the 50s. (Why did the same faces recur
so often? Was it a closed war-service shop?) The strength of
the comedy lies in Kingsley Amis’s book, and it is instructive
to view the social structure of the story from the perspective
of an anthropologist visiting from another planet. In other
words it only makes sense in its own context.

It was enough, when I met Jennifer
Eastman, that she loved cheese. How,
I privately thought (and perhaps
publicly said), can I not love this woman? One funny thing
about cheese is that it is rare to find a person who just likes
it: it inspires, rather, a state of adoration. And anyone familiar
with this food column over the years will be aware of the
extent of my cheese-adoration. ‘Cheese, milk’s leap toward
immortality’, said 60s American writer Clifton Fadiman.
Jenny, too, is American. She and her husband Michael are
relatively new to the area, having decided to exchange their
New York life for one here on the NSW far north coast. What
she also left behind was her job at Murray’s, New York’s oldest
cheese shop, where she started out working – for nothing –
as a cave intern.
Murray’s, in Greenwich Village, was founded in 1940 by a
Jewish businessman called Murray Greenberg, who sold it in
the 70s to his Calabrese clerk, who in turn sold the place to
Rob Kaufelt in the early 90s. Rob, whom Jenny describes as
‘amazing’, remains the owner today, regularly travelling the
world in pursuit of new, often obscure cheeses and bringing
them back to the store. He educates his staff and infuses
them with the passion he himself feels. Jenny tells me that
at any given time there will be around 250 cheeses available
– and more than 100 of these will have ripened in caves
underneath the store. She says that Murray’s is unique in this
system of caves, of which there are five, each individually
climate-controlled specifically for the types of cheeses,
designed to mimic as closely as possible the underground
caves where cheeses have aged throughout history.
There she was, a 30-something Illinois girl who had moved
to New York to study cinematography at the School of Visual
Arts, ending up in the film industry largely being required to
make commercials – such is the reality of the industry over
there – hooked up with Perth-born Mike, whose profession
was closely aligned. The two of them trotting along to
Murray’s regularly to attend their wonderful cheese classes
‘… about a particular style of cheese, or a region… pairing
cheese with wine… We were intrigued by some of the
pairings – bourbon with cheese, beer with cheese. We’d just
have a ball.’ One day she noticed a sign up advertising for
cave interns and ‘it was like a thunderbolt! I didn’t know what
it was but I thought I wanted to do it’, she tells me.
It was unpaid, two days a week, down in the caves where
over a period of six months she learned absolutely everything
there was to know about cheese. The French name for what
she did is affineur – ‘but we were affectionately known as
“cheese nannies”,’ Jenny says, which meant flipping the
cheeses, washing the rinds with a salt solution, generally
caring for them. She absolutely loved it. ‘Murray’s’, she tells
me, ‘is so well-known that many cheesemakers send their
cheeses un-aged to Murray’s to age, knowing the great job
they did.’
Diminutive, doll-like, Jenny Eastwood does not look as if she
has a thing for cheese (it’s genetics and gym, I learn). And
yet there would be little about it she does not know; there
is always cheese in her refrigerator; she eats it every single
day. She’s not yet sure, in this brand new life, what she can do
with this ‘skill-set’ – this combined with her film industry one
– but to any cheese-lover like myself she can only enrich our
community. After all, a meal without cheese, as 17th century
French philosopher and gourmand Brillat-Savarin once said,
is like a beautiful woman with only one eye...

Ballina man did not assault police: cop
Sydney AAP
A policeman who admits he
wrongly accused Ballina Aboriginal man Corey Barker of
assault says he and other officers shared their accounts of the
incident before he prepared his
official statement.
Constable Luke Mewing
was giving evidence on Thursday before the Police Integrity
Commission (PIC) in Sydney,
which is inquiring into the
arrest and prosecution of the
24-year-old on police assault
charges that were subsequently
dismissed by a magistrate.
The young officer said he
was taught the practice by his
field training officer.
Six officers prepared written statements that Mr Barker
started the fracas with a punch.
Four of them later confirmed that evidence in Ballina
Local Court.
Const Mewing said it was
standard practice in the Richmond local area command
for officers to share their
statements in preparing their
evidence, and Sen Const Hill’s
statement had been emailed to
him.
The PIC heard the officers’
written statements were nearly
identical in referring to offensive language Mr Barker had
allegedly used before the police
station incident.
Mr Barker had been charged
with intervening in a violent
street confrontation between
two of his friends and police at
Ballina in January 2011.
He was also charged that
evening with punching Senior
Constable David Hill at Ballina
police station during a brutal
struggle in which police kicked
him in the head, kneed his torso and dragged him to a cell
where he was left handcuffed
for one hour and 40 minutes.
All the charges against
Mr Barker were eventually
dropped.
Const Mewing said his field
training officer had taught him
to share statements among officers who were present at the
same incidents.
‘He told you that was the appropriate way to go?’ Mr Rushton asked.
‘I believe so,’ he responded.
Cnst Mewing was later
shown CCTV evidence, previously thought to be damaged,
which showed Mr Barker did
not throw a punch.
On Thursday, Cnst Mewing
admitted his written statement
and court evidence were incorrect.
‘That evidence was just
wrong, wasn’t it?’ counsel assisting the PIC hearing Stephen Rushton, SC, said.
‘I guess so,’ Const Mewing
said.
‘You knew that it was wrong
when you gave it?’ Mr Rushton
said.
‘I believed it at the time that
I saw [the incident].’
He denied deliberately fabricating evidence.
Const Mewing said he delivered a ‘knee strike’ to Mr
Barker while he and four other
officers had him pinned to the
ground.
‘It’s a move, a weaponscontrol strike, for pain compliance,’ he told the PIC.
Statements from the officers
said Mr Barker was dragged
because he would not comply
with a command to stand up.
Giving evidence previously,
Const Mewing had admitted
the prisoner would not have
been able to stand up.
The inquiry continues this
week with evidence from other
officers involved in the incident.

Skimming device nabs
Byron bank users
Up to 200 people may have
been victims of a skimming
device fitted to the Byron Bay
branch of St George Bank, it
has been revealed.
The bank detected a series of
unusual transactions last week
and subsequently discovered
the skimmer had been fitted
to one of its ATMs. The device
included a camera for recording the PINs of card users.
The cards were blocked by
the bank for security reasons
and new ones reissued.
A spokesperson for St
George said the bank will reimburse customers for any money
stolen from their accounts.
‘It would appear that…
having fitted [the device] they
probably produced a series of
counterfeit cards,’ he told ABC
radio.
Security expert Bill Caelli
from QUT says you can
protect yourself by observing
unusual machines. The ATM
panel should be flush and not
protrude in any way. If it does
sit out then it’s likely the ATM
has been tampered with.

Devil of a time in Byron Metricon’s season opens
Stuart Amos
The Byron Bay Red Devils
are looking ahead to the new
season with great anticipation with the fielding of three
strong sides in the NRRRL
competition.
Coaches Scott Sattler and
Nathan Cross have already established a strong relationship
with the players in their preseason preparation, with major emphasis on the players
having fun at training while at
the same time establishing modern structures and drills, with
particular efforts being placed
on the under 18s who are also
being mentored by a number
of the senior players.
It’s great to see players al-
ready attending training but
as always new players will be
made welcome.
Byron Red Devils are pictured handing over a cheque for
$1,500 to the Byron Hospital
Auxiliary. The Auxiliary does
a wonderful job collecting gate
takings during home games.
It’s a great relationship – two
community based organisations working together. Club
president Damon McCarthy is
with Maureen Weir from the
Byron Hospital Auxiliary and
club treasurer Connor Crichton and head coach Nathan
Cross. Joy Taylor and Lorraine
Gilmore from Byron Hospital
Auxiliary are in the back row.
Metricon Stadium on the Gold
Coast hosted the NAB Cup on
Saturday night. With the Suns
v Hawks then the Hawks v Lions, the final match saw fellow QLD rivals Lions and Suns
playing a prelude to the much
awaited Queensland Clash.
Almost 8,000 punters came
out to see the games. Not much
needs to be said about Suns
captain Gary Ablett except that
he looks primed for another
season of absolutely elite football. Still quick, ultra fit, he
looked a cut above every other
player on the field every time
he went near the ball, which
was plenty – seven possessions
in the first half, six in the second, each of them to his team’s
advantage.
Some would have been asking what has happened to Karmichael Hunt, who has shed
another nine kilos and was involved in the games throughout, though he still looked to
give the ball away by hand
rather than finding the foot
option.
The Suns looked set to draw
the first game against the Hawks
but on the siren kicked a much

needed point to the cheers of
the stadium to see them edge
out the Hawks in game one:
0.4.6 (30) to 0.4.5 (29).
The Brisbane Lions gatecrashed the Gold Coast’s party
in game three, backing up from
a 21 point pounding of Hawthorn in the previous with a
2.6.3 (57) to 0.3.6 (24) win over
the Suns and not a great deal
more can be said except it was
a scrappy performance by the
Suns minus Ablett and it’s back
to the drawing board.

The aftermath of a flood event is
a traumatic time with resources
stretched and emotions strained,
making it vital that people plan
their approach to cleaning up
carefully to avoid costly mistakes
and further financial challenges.
The priority for most people is
to get back into their property, to
clean it up and to start repairing
the damage as soon as possible.
While generous offers of assistance will fuel initial enthusiasm, lasting mistakes can be
made if this process isn’t clearly
understood.
It is a mistake, for example, to
assume that once the debris has
been cleared away repair work
can start immediately.
The real purpose of a clean-up
is to fully expose the building
so its condition can be carefully
checked and so it can begin to
dry out. The clean-up process,
then, is a sequence of events that
must begin with certification by
a licensed electrical contractor
that power can be safely reconnected to the building.
Once this is done, debris removal can commence. However,
there are things that need to be
considered during the clean-up
process, particularly in relation
to safety, drying and building
integrity.
Floodwater will have a significant effect on building materials
like particleboard, fibreboard,
plasterboard and fibrous materials like insulation and carpets.
Keep in mind that very little of
your internal fitout is likely to be
salvageable.
When the bulk of the debris
has been removed, an assessment by an independent structural engineer is critical to establish the extent to which the
structure or the foundations of
the building have been affected.
If the structure of the building is
sound, repair can be considered,
but if the building is deemed to
be unsound there is little point
in progressing with the clean up
until further decisions are made.
Until independent written
advice has been provided by a
registered structural engineer,
NO decisions should be made
regarding repair.
A structural engineer is the
ONLY person qualified to provide you with this advice.
After a structural engineer
has inspected your property,
you may want to talk to a building expert about the next step of
your flood recovery.

Property in Focus
Original Timber Classic
This charming farmhouse was once owned by local Bangalow
identity Harry Fowler OAM and is nestled on just over 2 acres,
part of the original 113 acre Fowlers Lane dairy farm, now a
Community Title development known as ‘Jindibah’. For more
information visit www.jindibah-community.org.
Harry was well known for building the swimming hole on the
property in the 1920s, hosted learn to swim classes, horse riding programs, dancing in the hall, scout camps and open air
concerts in the 70s with Australian bands like INXS, Rose Tattoo
and Jimmy Barnes. Jindibah residents have set up a permanent
exhibition on the history of the property at Harry’s beloved
dance hall.
The timber cottage retains many of its original features, high
timber ceilings, polished timber floors, good size bathroom
and country style ‘eat in’ kitchen ready for renovation. Enjoy
the many benefits of living on a 113 acre primary producing
property, yet being able to share the responsibilities with other
like minded owners.
