The residents of the sleepy bywater of Chinde-rah have woken to find a full-blown 24-hour highway truck stop about to be plonked in their midst – and they’re hopping mad.
Outspoken caravan park resident Lynda Mack has accused the Tweed Shire Council of deliberately suppressing information about the true nature of an industrial development in Ozone Street.
She says an innocent-looking development application (DA) has been lodged with the council to create a public road and acoustic fencing to service a four-lot industrial subdivi-sion in Ozone Street.
But she says the council threw a smoke-screen over what was really in the wind for at least one of the industrial lots – a 24-hour BP highway service centre for north-bound traffic to mirror one already built on the southbound side at Kingscliff.
The cat was let out of the bag last week when the Roads and Traffic Authority confirmed in a letter to the council general manager Mike Rayner that a highway service centre had been planned for the site for at least six years.
Strategic site since 2005RTA regional manager David Bell said the
locality had been identified as a strategic site for a highway service centre in a study completed in 2005.
‘The Far North Coast Regional Strategy con-siders it a suitable location and consistent with the RTA’s function of promoting road safety through fatigue management,’ said Mr Bell.
The RTA was responding to a request to attend a workshop at the council last week to discuss the subdivision.
The RTA declined to send a representative to the workshop which turned out to be a rowdy affair attended by a number of Chinderah resi-dents and chaired by mayor Kevin Skinner.
Ms Mack, the president of the Tweed Heri-
tage Caravan Park Residents Association, said she ran into an information brick wall while investigating an earlier DA for Ozone Street.
That DA, filed in 2009 by Planit Consultancy of Kingscliff for developers Wareema Pty Ltd, sought to concrete over an old cane drain/water way that ran down the notional ‘paper’ road known as Ozone Street to give access to the industrial site. The road ran past the cara-van park and residents objected to the truck traffic it would generate and pointed out the cane drain/waterway had become a significant fish habitat.
A public outcry forced the council to review the DA and an amended DA was lodged in May last year proposing a new access road running past the neighbouring Royal Pacific Caravan Park.
Ms Mack, a retired mortgage broker, said she went to the council offices to inspect the earlier DA.
‘To my surprise I noticed the correspondence attached to the DA referred to a highway service centre planned for Lot 1 of the subdivision.
‘The council officer confirmed it had been spoken of for some time.
‘I asked for photocopies of the correspon-dence, among other material.
‘We waited hours for it to come back – but when we got home we found that correspon-dence had not been photocopied.
‘I rang the council the next day and they agreed to let me look at the DA paperwork again.
‘But this time the correspondence relating to the service centre had gone and was replaced with clean white photocopied paper – not the yellowing paper there was before.
‘This time the council denied the earlier cor-respondence existed.’
The Tweed Heritage residents have been joined by Royal Pacific park residents and ad-joining neighbours who are horrified to discov-er their quiet streets are to play host to all-night highway truck traffic.

Nearly half the Tweed Shire is earmarked for coal seam gas exploration with enthusiastic support appearing to be pro-vided by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI).
An exploration title has al-ready been granted to PNG Gas covering the western cor-ner of the shire and spilling over into Kyogle and Lismore shires.
An application was also made six months ago by Mac-quarie Energy for a petroleum prospecting licence, which is a desktop study only.
But NSW DPI directed them to withdraw the application and progress directly to apply-ing for a exploration licence.
Greens councillor Katie Milne said she had informal talks with Macquarie Energy and a company representative expressed surprise at the de-partment’s attitude in wanting Macquarie to go straight into on-the-ground test drilling.
Cr Milne said the Macquar-ie representative was under the impression the depart-ment was keen for the com-pany to show commitment to exploration.
Macquarie Energy declined to comment further yesterday.
The company, a subsidiary of the Macquarie Bank conglom-
erate, has two title applications, dubbed PELA 133 and 134.
Between them, the PNG and Macquarie licences cover all the region west of Mt Warn-ing and include the Mebbin, Wollumbin and Limpinwood national parks.
Cr Milne said Macquarie had identified two significant seams in the region – the Ip-swich seam that runs near Nimbin and Kyogle and the
Nymboida seam which is still being charted.
Cr Milne says it’s important to note that under the Petro-leum Act, national parks are excluded from exploration so are excluded from exploration title.
Macquarie’s latest applica-tion, lodged just before Christ-mas, is expected to be assessed in three to six months.
Cr Milne said the assessment
would be done by the environ-mental arm of the DPI, rather than NSW Department for the Environment, Climate Change and Water.
She said Macquarie’s initial drilling would be one to 12 holes 4.5 inches in diameter and up to 1,000 metres deep.
There are unconfirmed re-ports that test drilling has be-gun on a farm near Tyalgum Creek.

The NSW state elections next
month will be the target of a
growing chorus of commu-
nity concern about coal seam
gas exploration.
A broad spectrum of op-
position from farmers to en-
vironmentalists has banded
together under the banner
of the Lock the Gate Alliance
(http://lockthegate.org.au).
The Alliance will use the
election to voice alarm at the
threat posed by coal seam
gas exploration to the envi-
ronment and the slap-dash
application by government
regulations.
High on the agenda is the
use of hydraulic fracturing,
known as fracking, during the
exploration process in which
highly toxic and carcinogenic
subtances such as Benzene,
Toluene, Ethylbenzene and
Xylene – the BTEX chemicals
– are used.
Last year the rich farming
region round Kingaroy in
south Queensland became
the focus of national atten-
tion when traces of benzene
and toluene were found in
nearby groundwater forcing
the suspension of activities at
the Cougar Energy pilot coal
gasification plant.
Disciplinary action was
taken against one govern-
ment employee for failing to
notify the public.
In the Tweed Valley, it
is understood no explicit
permission has been granted
to current exploration title
holder PNG Gas, or to title
applicant Macquarie Energy,
to use fracking, but that situa-
tion could change.
In northern NSW two
companies are actively drill-
ing – Arrow Energy and Red
Sky Energy.
Arrow, wholly owned by
Shell and PetroChina, holds
petroleum exploration
licence (PEL) 445, which runs
in a horseshoe shape from
west of Casino and north of
Lismore down to Evans Head.
Red Sky Energy is a small
Perth-based public company
active in NSW, Queensland
and the Northern Territory.
It conducted an exploration
program at South Grafton
and Bungawalbyn Creek in
1998, 2001 and 2004. It cur-
rently holds exploration per-
mits for several PELs between
Casino and Grafton through a
‘tie-in’ with Clarence Moreton
Resources.
Neither has specific ap-
proval to use fracking.
Fears grow over coal seam drilling

Tweed Shire Council has come under fire for ignoring residents’ concerns after senior council staff failed to show up to a recent public meeting over the controversial Cabarita beach-front caravan-park proposal despite being invited to attend.
The Cabarita Residents As-sociation says council is failing to adequately consult with resi-dents, but council says it didn’t want a bar of any ‘protest’ meet-ing, an accusation strenuously denied by association president Cath Lynch.
The meeting last week drew a packed house of around 400 people to the Cabarita Sports Club and according to Mrs Lynch was organised as a com-munity information session and billed as such on printed flyers distributed throughout the vil-lage before the meeting.
‘After council commented that it was a “protest” meet-ing, we changed our website to “community information meet-ing” to give the people the facts and that’s why we invited them in the first place,’ she told The Echo.
Council general manager Mike Rayner said council of-ficers ‘chose not to attend the residents association forum… because it had essentially been organised and advertised as a protest meeting, not an infor-
mation forum where all sides of the discussion are given equal weight’.
Mr Rayner said staff were given only a few days’ notice of the meeting ‘even though a website had been promoting the “protest rally” as early as late last year’, but Mrs Lynch rejected that, saying she wrote to council and councillors on January 21, ten days before the meeting, to notify them.
‘Even back in November, they talked to us about form-ing a community consultative group and have done nothing about that.’
‘Not effective’Mr Rayner said council’s
‘community engagement’ strat-egy did not recommend public meetings on major issues be-cause they were ‘not the most effective way to inform and in-volve the community’.
But he said it did not ‘advise against’ council officers attend-ing such meetings.
The consultation strategy will again be put to the test this Monday, February 14, when an-other public meeting is sched-ule to be held at the Cabarita Sports Club, and council offic-ers are openly invited to address the meeting.
Mrs Lynch said the local busi-ness chamber had also been in-vited to join the residents group at last month’s meeting but had
declined and are also openly invited to attend the next one.
The NSW Land and Prop-erty Development Authority (LPMA) and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust have jointly proposed the cara-van park on Crown land east of the Coast Road south of Nor-ries Headland for up to 230 sites as well as a housing subdivision across the road.
Mrs Lynch said the holiday park on an 8.3 hectare site had come as a shock and disap-pointment as locals had been fighting the development since 1998 and council was fully aware of that opposition. The residential Sandalwood Estate project, for 37 homes and ‘addi-tional townhouses’ on two sites covering around five hectares, is to be managed by the LPMA and is adjacent to an existing residential estate at the entrance to Sandalwood Avenue.
Meanwhile the trust and LPMA issued a press release in response to the meeting, with the trust’s executive manager Richard Adams saying that some of the information given to the public was wrong.
Mr Adams said council was not both developer and con-sent authority as the trust was the developer and the state-ap-pointed regional planning panel would be the consent body.
He also said the proposed park was not opposite the
school but 130 metres to the south ‘and further separated by the main road and generous buffer areas’.
‘The idea that parents need to be concerned for their children’s welfare should the development go ahead is absurd,’ he said.
The onsite shop also would be a small kiosk to provide ba-sic needs for park residents and would not ‘lock up’ an econom-ic benefit within the park.
‘Quality homes’LPMA Crown lands divi-
sion general manager Graham Harding said the ‘inference that the proposed Sandalwood housing estate would attract low income earners is completely incorrect’ as it would ‘provide quality homes and townhouses’.
‘It proposes a medium den-sity estate with a restriction of three storeys that fits in with the council’s planning for the area,’ Mr Harding said.
The public exhibition period for the plans close on Febuary 28. Copies of the plans are on display at Tweed Council civic centres at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah and libraries at Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah.

A Hastings Point housing development has drawn the wrath of the Greens Party who say it would never have seen the light of day had it not been for the controversial ‘developer friendly’ part 3A of the NSW Planning Act.
Under part 3A the minister can approve any development anywhere in the state regard-less of the local planning laws or its local impact, said Greens MP David Shoebridge during a visit to the Tweed last week.
Mr Shoebridge met con-cerned locals on the site of the 70-lot development at the mouth of the estuary with Tweed Greens candidate An-drea Vickers on Friday.
‘The Tweed Shire Council is strongly opposed to this development on the estuarine flood plain and for good rea-son,’ said Mr Shoebridge.
‘It blocks natural water flows, threatens neighbour-ing properties with inunda-tion and threatens local man-groves and salt bush.
‘This is another example of the damaging effects of part 3A on local communities across NSW.
‘The law, and the minister, must both go.’
The Hasting Point project has been the source of on-going controversy including
unauthorised bulldozing and fencing of access to the estu-ary by Brisbane developer Walter Elliot.
Andrea Vickers said coastal estuaries and wetlands were part of what makes the Tweed
special. ‘It’s terrible to think that the minister, sheltered down in Macquarie Street, could order its destruction without ever having seen the place.
‘It’s clearly inappropriate to site 70 houses right in the
mouth of an estuary where they face the constant threat of flooding.
‘Hasn’t our state govern-ment learnt anything from the events in Queensland and northern NSW?’

You can buy one at Outdoorism.Then take it to one of the local delis (that’s what I always do) – there’s a few good ones around town – and get them to pack a really excellent picnic, you know, all the good cheeses and pate etc, oh and a bottle of wine (NOT BEER!). DON’T, I say DON’T, get snags and a bread roll, big mistake. Girls like all that fancy stuff. I guarantee you do this well and your life will be sweet. If things go as well as they should you’ll still be there when night falls and you’ll be able to take a nice romantic stroll to see the glow worms wink! Wink! This always works for me!
Good luck mate!
Your mate Tony
Bad law blamed for bad development

‘Fracking is an extremely serious threat to our food security and water security. There’s a real risk that fracking in Australia could contami-
nate not just local aquifers, but the Great Arte-sian Basin,’ Ms Vickers said.
‘Whether or not the toxic chemicals which have been forced into aquifers in the US are used here, rupturing the rock can cause con-tamination by methane and carcinogenic com-pounds found in coal seams. Are we really pre-pared to take this risk?’
Ms Vickers says the Greens are keeping their eye on applications for exploratory drilling li-cences in the Tweed area (see stories page 2) and calling for a moratorium on exploration until such a time as fracking can be proved to be safe.
‘There’s just too much at stake not to take a precautionary approach on this one,’ she said.

Tweed Shire Council’s Abo-riginal Advisory Committee (AAC) remains mired in con-troversy more than six months after Greens councillor Katie Milne was axed as a delegate.
In a new twist to the curi-ous saga, Cr Milne’s replace-ment on the AAC, Joan van Lieshout (pictured, right), has now quit in protest over the way Cr Milne was removed.
In doing so she provided an explanation to AAC members which sheds a more illumi-nating light than the official version given for Cr Milne’s removal.
‘Made to cry’Cr van Lieshout told them
she supported a push to dump Cr Milne after another AAC delegate, Dot Holdom, told her that she had to go because she was upsetting members over development issues so much that some of them were made to cry.
‘I decided I needed to put the record straight – partly because members couldn’t understand why the council voted to remove her and part-ly because some thought I was behind her removal,’ Cr van Lieshout said.
Her surprise resignation cleared the way for a contest for the vacant spot between Cr Milne and Mayor Kevin Skin-ner at the last council meeting, which Cr Skinner won in a 4-3 vote with the support of Crs Holdom, Polglase and Phil Youngblutt.
Mystery moveCr Milne’s sacking has been
shrouded in mystery ever since it was initiated in a may-oral minute by then mayor Warren Polglase last May.
Cr Polglase suggested a shake-up was necessary be-cause the AAC was dysfunc-tional, but refused to give rea-sons to explain how Cr Milne’s sacking could get it back on track.
The move surprised many AAC members who believed they enjoyed a good working relationship with Cr Milne who was appointed a delegate when the new council was elected.
They also took exception to the wording of the mayoral minute, forcing Cr Polglase at a subsequent council meeting to retract and apologise for reasons he initially gave for the surprise shake-up.
Cr Polglase acknowledged that his claim that the AAC was ‘not performing in a way that can deliver council’s ob-
jectives’ was incorrect, and that ‘in retrospect, the may-oral minute should have been written differently.’
But he declined to elaborate on the council’s decision to terminate Cr Milne’s appoint-ment, saying only the deci-sion was made ‘democratically at a council meeting by coun-cillors.’
Cr Milne’s sacking occurred on the same night that the council vetoed an AAC sub-mission objecting to the pro-posed industrial subdivision at Chinderah (see story, page 1) and asking that its concerns be passed onto the relevant minister.
The council acted after se-nior executives put the kybosh
on the AAC’s request, stating in a brief report to council that ‘it would be inappropriate to take any action outside of the planning process.’
Cr Milne later admitted to alerting the AAC to the fact that the original plans in-volved concreting over a wa-terway which the Aboriginal community saw as a valu-
able asset and a natural food source.
Cr Milne says she suspects she’s been targeted for talk-ing about a handful of projects which she believed were of di-rect concern to AAC mem-bers.
‘I have never to my knowl-edge made anyone cry and I haven’t discussed any more than half a dozen development issues with the AAC in the two years since I was appointed,’ she’s said previously.
‘In each case they’ve had the potential to impact signifi-cantly on cultural and heritage matters which are of interest to the committee.’
In November last year a Liberal Party MLC cited com-
plaints against Cr Milne and Joan van Lieshout as evidence of misuse of the council’s com-plaints handling process.
Cr van Lieshout failed in a bid at the last meeting to hold a workshop with councillors and staff to discuss the future role of the AAC ‘in represent-ing a fair and true perspective in its relevance in advice to council on Aboriginal mat-ters’.
Only Crs Polglase and Phil Youngblutt backed her.

Now replacement councillor quits Aboriginal advisory group
Holdom denies commentCr Holdom (pictured, right) has denied ever making the comment about Cr Milne ‘up-setting the Aborigines’, saying she was concerned ‘as to why Cr van Lieshout is fixated with dragging in the AAC commu-nity members’.
‘I never said that to her, she quite possibly got the horse by the tail, she’s obviously mixed up about it and I can’t explain it’, she told The Echo.
‘Katie and I have moved on. The AAC has moved on. Why does Cr van Lieshout continue to have a groundhog day? It was not me that refused to read the Aboriginal statement – and that is what started all of this I believe,’ she said, referring to Cr van Lieshout’s rejection at a meeting in her previous role as mayor to read out the Aboriginal welcome statement.
‘I am left very concerned as to why Cr van Lieshout is fixated with dragging in the AAC community members… I don’t want to get into a public slanging match here, I don’t want to feed another person’s personal belief as to how they view the world.’
Cr Katie Milne: her sacking was initiated by Cr Polglase.

When a group of young Casua-rina residents came up with the idea of a carwash to help raise funds for Queensland flood victims, they never imagined their efforts would result in a tally of more than $20,000.
After spending the day help-ing clear debris with flood-affected residents in Brisbane last month, Tarnya Sim said her sons Josh, 14, and Zac, 12, were inspired to do more.
Ms Sim said her sons had initially been reluctant to vol-unteer and had even asked if they would be paid for their time.
But she says their attitude changed after seeing first-hand the scale of devastation.
‘Being there in the thick of it
really moved them out of their comfort zone,’ she said.
The boys teamed up with four other friends to organise the carwash, with local busi-nesses also lending their sup-port. They were joined by 30 kids on the day, aged between seven and 14, who helped wash 79 cars.
A Kingscliff fire truck also turned up to help with the hosedown held at Kamala Crescent beachside carpark on January 22.
Parents of the children in-volved and phone book pub-lishers Local Directories agreed to match funds raised dollar-for-dollar, with the event raising $8,500.
That figure was boosted fur-ther after family friends from Sydney donated $10,000 after
being impressed by the chil-dren’s initiative.
After a final appeal via Face-book, friends and family who couldn’t be there on the day chipped in to bring the total to $21,000.
Ms Sim said the children were thrilled with the final figure after initially hoping to raise $2,000.
She said family friends de-cided to donate the $10,000 as a way of showing the children that their actions can make a difference.
‘I think a lot of kids feel un-heard, like they can’t make a difference in their community, and in their world,’ he said.
‘Well, these kids had a vi-sion. It started as a very small thing and it grew into a very big thing.’

Tyalgum residents are taking a stand after the local school and businesses were targeted by vandals.
Concerned residents have organised a public meeting, with the hope of starting a Neighbourhood Watch group in the community.
Tonight’s meeting (Thursday, February 10) follows a series of incidents in the small village following a party at Tyalgum Hall on January 15, which at-tracted up to 100 youths.
One of the meeting’s or-ganisers, Bruce Bartrim, said things had apparently turned rowdy during the night, with school buildings graffitied and
a public telephone vandalised.There was also damage to
a local gallery and garage in Coolman Street, which had two of its windows smashed.
The following night at least five trees at the town’s memo-rial park were deliberately snapped off at the trunk, Mr Bartrim said.
That same night, locals re-ported seeing cars with P-plates congregated outside Ty-algum Public School.
Mr Bartrim, who has lived in the village all his life, says while vandalism doesn’t appear to be increasing, there have been re-curring incidents.
‘I wouldn’t say it’s on the increase, but it does evolve in cycles,’ he said.
‘These days with commu-nications, it’s very easy for the young ones to find out what’s happening and just rock up.’
He says it is hoped that by establishing a Neighbourhood Watch group the situation can be prevented from escalating further.
‘It’s about learning what the general person off the street can do. We just want to know where we stand, so we can hopefully keep things moni-tored,’ he said.
Member for Lismore, Thom-as George, and Tweed Police Inspector Greg Jago are also expected to attend the meet-ing today at Tyalgum Hall. The meeting starts at 7pm.

Royal Pacific park owner Bob Caine claimed the coun-cil had run an orchestrated campaign to disguise the true nature of the subdivision so as ‘not to upset the natives’.
Mr Caine, who has run a
vigorous campaign against the new access road proposal, said he just happened to stumble across a mention of the high-way service centre buried in a council agenda of December 14 last year.
‘There was no consultation,’ said Mr Caine. ‘There were no notifications, no public discus-sion with adjoining landown-ers, businesses or residents of Chinderah. We stumbled on this information in the agenda’.

Bilambil Heights residents have called on Tweed Council to tear down a dangerous eye-sore, the rundown and heavily vandalised former Terranora Lakes Country Club building, but the developers want to re-tain it for any future redevelop-ment on the site.
Locals fear vandalism and fires in the building posed a big
safety risk but the developers have told council the building is structurally sound and they would like to keep the building’s shell to use as a community or sports centre when the hous-ing estate is completed, which could be many years away given the history of the site.
A council spokesman said yesterday that a structural en-gineer’s certificate requested by council was yet to be provided.
Late last November, a late-night fire inside the old build-ing sparked the outcry from surrounding residents that it should be torn down. Com-
bined Neighbourhood Watch secretary and former Bilambil Heights resident Gordon Lev-enson said the derelict building should have been torn down years ago as it was an eyesore for the community and attract-ed vandals.
Agents for the sale of a multi-million-dollar hilltop site at Bilambil Heights occupied by the derelict former country club and earmarked for a huge
residential development are nearer to sealing a deal with two potential buyers lined up.
Brisbane property tycoon Godfrey Mantle won govern-ment approval for the residen-tial development, called The Rise, on the 184-hectare site last July, and is hoping to sell to the highest bidder through an international tender process which closed in late November last year.
The flamboyant restaurant and hotel owner purchased most of the site from the re-ceivers of the former pokie pal-ace in 1995 for about $5 million
and according to real estate sources is now asking around $100 million.
Director of Ray White prop-erty group’s special projects in Queensland, Tony Williams, told The Echo this week that negotiations continued this week, with two potential buy-ers, one a Brisbane-based na-tional company and the other an overseas investor.
Mr Williams declined to say what the asking price was.
The site is considered the best piece of real estate in the shire. It went on the market less than three months after Planning Minister Tony Kelly approved a concept plan for a $1.2 billion master-planned community commanding pan-oramic views to Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.
The approval allows the con-struction over the next 10 to 12 years of 1,604 new dwellings and a 200-bed aged-care facil-ity as well as community facili-ties, a private school, commer-cial and retail outlets, and an arts college and arts precinct.
The decision to sell the land-mark site comes after 15 years of ownership of the land by Terranora Group Management and a four-year planning and approvals process for The Rise development.
The approval by the plan-ning minister added consider-able value to the site.
Mr Mantle initially won Tweed council approval for an upmarket Sheraton-managed resort and 27-hole golf course but later ditched the concept, complaining that restrictions imposed by the council made it uneconomic.
He then sought government approval for The Rise develop-ment which originally included plans for building up to eight storeys high. But the high-rise component was knocked on
the head after Tweed planners said it was more in line with Gold Coast-style development than anything seen in the Tweed before.
Although it has been given the green light, Tweed council has warned it won’t allow the project to progress until a new road network to service the area is operational.

Author opens up about love and dyingKate McIntosh
After being diagnosed with cancer five years ago Judith Lindsay was forced to confront the inevitability of her own mortality.
Searching for an outlet, she began chan-nelling her emotions in writing through-out her treatment and recovery.
What began as a journal evolved into Judith’s first novel, Love in Dying.
Inspired by her own personal journey towards healing, the book examines the concepts of love, life and death through the eyes of central character Sarah who is dying of cancer.
‘It’s a fairly ordinary book, but it asks some pretty profound questions,’ the Mur-willumbah resident says.
Judith concedes that its themes are con-fronting ones.
‘Most of us don’t really want to look very deeply at the prospect of dying,’ she said.
‘It’s not so much being frightened of death, but of wasting time.’
She says it often takes a life-threatening
experience for people to face up to the prospect of their own mortality.
‘We get trapped by the emotions of life. Rather than grabbing them as lessons,
often we go through life as a victim of circumstance.’
In what is another central theme in her book, Judith says that embracing all of life’s experiences – good and bad – can make for a more fulfilling life.
A vegetarian for the past 40 years, Ju-dith is a strong advocate for alternative therapies and was involved in support groups for cancer sufferers long before her own diagnosis.
When faced with her own cancer battle, she also took a holistic approach, encom-passing healing techniques for the mind, body and spirit.
Originally from London, Judith left to backpack around Europe and Asia, even-tually settling in Australia.
Since then she has turned her hand to retail, audiology, alternative healing, and goat farming. Now in her 70s, Judith re-mains a regular visitor to India.
She describes writing the book as a ca-thartic experience and hopes it will help others gain new insight into their own lives.
‘It’s a how-to book, that doesn’t actually tell you how-to,’ she said.

Demolition threat to club building staved off
A full-time on-site caretaker and a security firm have been appointed to keep an eye over the derelict Terranora hilltop clubhouse and deter vandals.
The move followed a recent warning by council that it would demolish the build-ing if found to be structurally unsound and follows a string of complaints by surrounding residents of vandalism.
An inspection by council staff revealed the building had been heavily vandalised with all windows broken and building materials stolen from the site as well as evidence of fires inside the building.
A council spokesman
said ‘old furniture had been destroyed and strewn all through the building. Ceiling panels and carpet had all also been vandalised and was lit-tering the area’.
Council had threatened a demolition order on the building in November unless a structural engineering certificate confirming its soundness was provided.
The owners have not yet provided such a certificate by Wednesday this week. If it is provided, council would consider not issuing the order on the building, subject to it being ‘extensively’ cleaned up inside ‘of all the litter and broken building components’.

So the silly season is over and the hunting season is officially open.
And as you might expect, the prime target is the prime minister.
The pundits have spent much of the climatically disrupted holiday period brooding about what has become encapsulated as The Gillard Problem, and now they are preparing to de-liver the verdicts.
This column is being written before the ABC’s Four Corners delivers its salvo, but there have been enough sighting shots to give a pretty fair idea of the general nature of the pursuit.
Tony Abbott rather set the tone in his description of Julia Gillard’s delivery as ‘wooden’; this summed up a general feel-ing that she was hopelessly up-staged by the Queensland pre-mier Anna Bligh, who stole the show when nature went mad in the special effects department.
David Williamson elabo-rated: Gillard simply did not have the dramatic skills need-ed to play the part of prime minister. By this he appeared to mean that she was unable to convincingly fake sincerity, which the playwright implied was the be-all and end-all of statesmanship.
In the Sydney Morning Her-ald Lenore Taylor went further: the real problem was not just the lead goose Gillard, but the whole Labor gaggle, which had lost the moral authority to gov-ern. Phillip Adams called the government gutless and gorm-less. Mark Latham said Gillard lacked empathy and didn’t like children. Others, predictably, focused on her personal staff, her accent and her dress sense. It was all good healthy blood sport, but somehow it missed the kill.
If it was really just a matter of presentation – of a few act-ing and elocution lessons, a
fashion makeover, some fresh advisers and a bit of counsel-ling in ethical emoting, surely the party machine, which spe-cialises in such superficialities, would have fixed things long ago. It seems to me that the problem is both more pro-found and more simple: Julia Gillard is just not up to the job.
It used to be called the Pe-ter Principle – the process by which individuals, particularly
in corporate and public life, are frequently promoted to one level beyond their actual com-petence. And it is especially common in politics, because there are no established crite-ria or precedents by which one can predict just who will make a successful leader. Politics, is, as Robert Louis Stevenson remarked, the only profession for which no previous expe-rience or training is deemed necessary, and this is because no one knows what will work and what won’t.
History is littered with ex-amples of politicians who rose through the ranks without a slip, had dazzling careers as senior ministers, but failed when they finally got their party’s leadership. Harold Holt, John Gorton, Bill Snedden, Bill Hayden, Andrew Peacock, Kim Beazley – all should have made it, but none did. Billy McMahon, Alexander Downer and Mark Latham were simply mistakes born of desperation, and perhaps Peter Costello was wiser than we suspected
in never having the self-belief to try. And now there is Julia Gillard.
In her time in the opposi-tion shadow cabinet, and in her two and a half years as a sen-ior minister and Kevin Rudd’s deputy, she seemed to have it all: a fierce work ethic, bound-less self-confidence, fire in the belly and the respect of her col-leagues, both friends and foes. It was inevitable she would
eventually get the top job, and although the circumstances by which she did so were ugly, there was every reason to think she would hack it.
But with hindsight, there was always something lacking – that elusive quality known as vision. It was probably unfair of Lindsay Tanner to describe her as a pure opportunist, but she has never given the im-pression that she had an over-all grand plan, the ability to deal with the complex, long term, changes. Gillard says education is her passion, and she was a serious and dedi-cated minister in that portfolio – and perhaps that is where she should have stopped. Since becoming prime minister, she has constantly struggled to find her feet where major policy is concerned.
Climate change, the mining tax and tax reform in general, the Murray Darling, and now, according to some reports, even hospital reform, have all been consigned to the too hard basket. For all Rudd’s ar-
rogance and narcissism, he was prepared to tackle the big is-sues; Gillard, it seems, is not.
Admittedly, times have been tough and the problems of mi-nority government novel and distracting, but that is all the more reason to produce a real sense of purpose and direction. Gillard has not done so, and it has affected not just her own standing with the public, but those of all around her. Even with the departure of Lindsay Tanner and John Faulkner, the front bench remains strong – certainly a lot stronger than its opposition counterparts.
But in the absence of genu-ine leadership it appears to be dithering. With the exception of the indefatigable Treasurer, Wayne Swan, ministers have barely been visible during the break. And once this sort of malaise sets in, it tends to be self perpetuating, particularly in the media; everything that happens is seen as an attempt at salvage, as an act of despera-tion or the cynical application of spin.
The situation is not yet ir-revocable, but it is becoming very dire. The verdict on Gil-lard may well be premature; six months is not much time for her to establish herself, especially considering the un-expected events which have disrupted her anticipated rest and recuperation during the holiday period. She could yet emerge triumphant.
And it should never be for-gotten that she has one big thing going for her: Tony Ab-bott. His reaction to the floods was always cynical and mean-spirited, but even then no one could have foreseen that he would ask his supporters to send money for a campaign against the cup-of-coffee levy to rebuild Queensland’s roads. With enemies like that, who needs friends?
The non-appearance by senior council officers at the recent public meeting to discuss controversial proposals for a caravan park and residential subdivision south of Norries Headland is disturbing. Local officials ignoring the community strikes at the core of demo-cratic process and good governance and appears to be a new and worrying trend of council shirking its responsibilities.
General manager Mike Rayner excused the no-show by quoting a new council policy for community engagement which appar-ently does not recommend attending public meetings on major issues because they were ‘not the most effective way to inform and involve the community’. Have we missed something here? Surely the most effective way to communicate with the public is to engage them directly at such meetings. It’s called trying to ‘see eye to eye’ and it can work miracles in conflict resolution.
Officers should front up to these meetings to hear first hand what locals say about developments affecting their lives and ame-nity. We suggest council scrap this new plan which has obviously failed at the first hurdle.
On every council issue, officers should be able to explain their actions to ratepayers and residents rather than use the council’s weekly newsletter as a means to get their message out. They have to be there to answer questions as best they can, to assuage fears the public may have over some issue or development. It’s called transparency and the more officers retreat from their community the more distrust is sown.
This new move to bar officers from such meetings appears to be aimed squarely at sparing them from the slightest criticism. Is there a fear they may be set upon or shouted down? In the history of council consulting the community via meetings, as far as we’re aware there have not been any ugly incidents, so what are they running from? It seems like they’re ducking for cover, a gutless way of dealing with the public.
Six months ago, council proposed a new randomly chosen online panel of 800 Tweed residents and ratepayers which they dubbed a ‘citizens’ panel’ to engage the community in its decisions. Of course this idea was roundly ridiculed and laughed off as just another way of avoiding proper consultation with locals.
The then mayor extolled the strategy as making the most of ‘on-line engagement’ but added that ‘face-to-face’ consultation would also be part of it. Well, looks like there’s no such face-to-face consul-tation any more, and this strategy appears to be an abject failure.
A reader involved in a council/community advisory group recently tried to make an appointment with officers to talk over an issue but was refused. Distancing themselves from the community is certainly no way to run local government.

Attack on dressage pad shows council’s ‘incompetence’
Letters
Cr Katie Milne’s comment ‘unlike the Colbys the com-plaining farmers have been there forever’, causes me deep concern. Is it the case that long-term residents of the Tweed Shire receive more favourable treatment from council than new residents?
Teea HecksherKingscliff
At last the story of the dres-
sage pad at Dungay has made it to The Echo (February 3), thus revealing even more Tweed Shire Council incompetence.
I have had a ringside seat to their disgraceful handling of this matter, ‘ringside’ be-ing very appropriate. Backflips performed by council suggest to me that the general man-ager, Mr Rayner, would make a better circus performer than a CEO. Also Cr Skinner, who on December 14 voted not once but twice for council to take no further action in this matter, produced another of his now famous flip-flops on January 18 when he supported a motion to rescind the December decision.
Then there is Cr Milne who I thought represented the Greens Party, but after reading her ri-diculous comments in the Fe-
buary 3 article, I now suspect her of being at the forefront of some new interplanetary party for space cadets. Cr Milne has leapt to the defence of one of the complainants, a cane farmer who has lifted the height of an adjacent cane paddock border-ing the creek. But why would he be concerned; contrary to the councillor’s irrelevant comment that the complain-ing farmers had ‘been there forever’, this cane farmer does not live there. What a strange decision-making process she has: 13 years’ residency doesn’t rate with ‘being there forever’, and the cane farmers supported her in a dispute that she was involved in before she became a councillor. Well, councillor, so did I. It sounds a lot like back scratching.
It should also be made known that all through the years of this dispute Cr Milne has made absolutely no attempt to seek out the Colbys’ position in this matter. It would seem that she, like others in council, have become pawns of the Cane Growers Association and the ‘Murwillumbah National Party Old Boys Club’.
Jim DwyerBilambil Heights
I am active member of the Tweed Valley Equestrian Group (TVEG) and have lived near Dungay most of my life. I am offended by Cr Milne’s ill-in-formed comments that ‘dres-sage is not ancillary to an agri-cultural pursuit’.
What a waste of time and money by councillors, who seem to change their minds fre-quently, to convene a workshop – nothing more than window dressing to appease persons ac-cusing the Colbys of creating ‘flooding’. Does council have anything impartial from the persons complaining to support their argument?
TVEG has approximately 80 members and runs four Olym-pic-level, locally-sponsored events each year to assist dres-sage enthusiasts like the Colbys to qualify for the state and na-tional dressage championships. These events are conducted at the Tweed River ‘Agricultural’ Showground. Practice requires a dressage arena to the same length and width due to the level of precision required.
Cr Milne, would you ask a race horse to run on a race track that runs down a hill? Would you ask a 50 metre sprinter to sprint on uneven ground?
Would you ask a football player to play on a field that had pot-holes, a huge drop at one end, or a dip in the centre? I doubt it.
All the Colbys have done is create a great arena to ensure their horses live a long and in-jury-free life and to give them the best chance to achieve their goals at competition.
As for Cr Milne’s comment – ‘unlike the Colbys, the com-plaining farmers have been there forever’ – seems like the old saying is appropriate: ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’.

I am writing in reference to your article about Darryl and Leanne Colby and the problems they are having with Tweed Shire Council.
It appears they obtained all the approval required, or not re-quired in council’s case, to build the dressage pad from the De-partment of Water and Energy (state government).
How can council now back-flip on their earlier decision, after two years?
This should send alarm bells ringing through our commu-nity. How legal are any deci-sions council makes if they can change their mind years later,
causing financial stress and hardship to those involved?
This is not a good message to be sending to people who are thinking of settling here on the Tweed or even to those who have ‘been here forever’ wish-ing to improve their properties to suit their lifestyle.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with council backpedalling on a decision.
If our Council can’t be trusted to stand by their decisions then we need to think very carefully at the next election.

Right now, we need your help to save the Cassowaries of Mission Beach in Far North Queensland. Their rainforest home has been devastated by Cyclone Yasi and they face starvation unless we act now. Rainforest Rescue is helping to provide food for the Cassowaries and is restoring their rainforest habitat.
Cyclone Yasi has stripped the rainforest trees bare. Once the Cassowaries have eaten the fallen rainforest fruit, they will be forced to leave the forest in search of food. This could be disastrous for the already dwindling population.
In the aftermath of Cyclone Larry in 2006, a large number of Cassowaries were hit by vehicles or attacked by dogs once they left the forest. One-third of the Cassowary population died of starvation.
Please help to save this magnifi cent species. They are already threatened with extinction and it is estimated that only 1,000 remain in the wild.
Please donate now and help fund the food for these iconic rainforest birds. The food will be placed at remote feeding stations to ensure that the Cassowaries do not wander into town and get hit by cars.
We are also planting trees to provide essential Cassowary habitat and purchasing rainforest properties to ensure Cassowary habitat is protected.
Help feed the Cassowaries of Mission Beach in the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi. $25 will provide Cassowary food for one day and ensure the survival of this endangered species.
Rainforest Rescue is a local not-for-profi t organisation committed to protecting rainforests forever. We create opportunities for individuals and businesses to support successful projects to protect and restore our rainforests.

Precautions requiredHow lucky were we in the Tweed area to miss out on the record flooding. We shouldn’t get complacent and, taking a line from the Toowoomba de-bacle, perhaps we should have another look at overdevelop-ment like that planned for Bi-lambil Heights that is called ‘The Rise’.
To see huge torrents of wa-ter rushing downhill, wash-ing away cars and people was frightening to say the least and who’s to say it couldn’t hap-pen up there with all that tar and cement and similar condi-tions? We should also identify low-lying areas around Tweed Heads itself and have heaps of sandbags stored in readiness just in case.
Our roads are a disgrace now so why not build roads that can take heavy rain conditions without damage; after all if you are going to jack up our rates by 30 per cent safe roads should be paramount.

Censoring artIt would seem that art cen-sorship is alive and well in the Tweed Shire Council. My painting ‘Mother and Babies’ (an image of a mother koala looking lovingly at her young) was offered freely on loan to the council to add some creative life to the council chambers. I have subsequently heard, through a third party, that the council has rejected my offer. The council did not even have the courtesy to contact me directly so that I can pick up my painting. This is disgraceful and disrespectful behaviour where the council is concerned.
Apparently, again through a third source, the reason given for not receiving my painting is that the council is afraid it will set a precedent for other artists to hang their work in the cham-ber. This seems to be a poor excuse as the chamber already displays a tired-looking portrait of Her Maj and one piece of art-work, an amateurish interpreta-tion of a bulldog, which does nothing to enhance the ambi-ence of the chamber. At some point in the dim distant past, the canine creation managed to find itself on the wall, where it has remained. I would have thought, if the council’s excuse were valid, that the inclusion of the said artwork would have at-tracted queues of local artists all clamouring to have their artistic efforts included.
Surely it cannot be that the council found my painting to be distasteful in any way. I made sure that no dead koa-las or Nazis were depicted in the painting. Could their rea-son for banning my artwork from the chamber have been because the painting would be a constant reminder to the councillors concerning Tweed Shire Council’s neglect where our waning Tweed Coast koala population is concerned? Or
could it be that a certain ex-ex mayor is biased against the art-ist involved?

Private interestsThe Echo (January 20, 2011) re-ported that Tweed Shire coun-cillors overturned a staff recom-mendation, which attempted to keep the final report of the Tweed Economic Development Corporations report (TEDC) confidential. It was deemed to be commercial in confidence by [general manager] Mike Rayner.
The TEDC has now been re-placed by a new group, ‘Desti-nation Tweed’; its purpose: to promote the shire’s economic development.
An important question is, should the council use ratepay-ers’ money to support private organisations such as TEDC or Destination Tweed? Council should facilitate the broadening and diversification of the Tweed economy but not become in-timately involved with private and commercial interests.

Independents, arise!After 22 years of parliament including my forcing the NSW Royal Commission into po-lice, I retired satisfied with my reforms.
I am now standing for the NSW Upper House where I can represent the whole of NSW. I am determined to use my ex-perience and knowledge to re-build and re-establish proper and transparent process in our state parliament.
Last Friday I launched an on-line petition calling on the gov-ernor to recall state parliament over the electricity sale.
Like many citizens of NSW I am really worried about elec-tricity prices. I am fundamen-tally opposed to the sale of our public utilities. In private hands more and more price hikes are inevitable. A ‘cold winter’ is likely for many.
Please consider forwarding this urgent letter to friends, family and colleagues and ask them to consider signing.

Follow the moneyBeing a frequent visitor to Cabarita Beach I have often enjoyed the peace and solitude of walking along the beach to Hastings Point. Imagine my horror when I discovered that the Tweed Shire Council is con-sidering destroying a large area of natural habitat to build yet another caravan park.
Does the area need another caravan park? I have travelled up and down the coast at differ-ent times of the year and most of these parks are far from full except for a couple of months a year. Is there a profit to be made
and is it important enough to justify the destruction of a beautiful and nowadays rapidly disappearing natural environ-ment? Do these other caravan parks make any worthwhile profit and if not shouldn’t the council be looking at improv-ing these other sites before constructing any new caravan parks?
Further to this I have been made aware that the local school children along with Dunecare have been re-establishing a large area of this coastal park by planting trees native to the area. What message are we sending to the younger generation when all their good work in caring for their own local natural en-vironment can be ruined in an instant by bureaucracy?
The questions have to be asked, ‘Why does the Tweed Shire Council need to do this? Why is Tweed Shire Council so reticent in releasing the com-plete details, including costs, about the proposal and why aren’t they available to the rate-payers and general public?’

Go, Gavin!Whatever you do, don’t waste your vote at the forthcoming state election.
If you vote Greens, in the mistaken belief that they are the friends of the environ-ment (sadly they are not that, although that was their origin), then you will vote for a political party that has been highjacked by homosexuals who have a strong agenda for lunatic left wing godless/atheistic law re-form.
Surely, collectively we can do a lot better than that?
There are one or two people from whom I expect to receive a harsh reply, for the sole rea-son that because of perceived personal enlightenment, they view themselves as deep think-ers on a higher plane who are (perhaps) the last stronghold of ‘enlightenment and tolerance’.
Perish the thought, you who have ‘eyes to see but fail to per-ceive’ the truth.
This is not a plug for Fred Nile or the Christian Democratic Party, and I am not a personal fan of his. But this is a strong plug for the injection of some decency into public adminis-tration, something that is sadly lacking in this country gener-ally, and NSW in particular. At least Nile is an honest man of courage who does stand for Christian family values (even given that he has, like all of us, made mistakes in the past – please stand up and take a bow if you have not), and the CDP does represent ‘family-based’ policies.
So don’t waste your vote, and seriously consider what will be ‘good’ for the future of this state. This will be a good opportunity to vote for a decent future for NSW.

If Cr Skinner is not using the flood tragedy of the last month to support his case, then I would like to read an-other news article that is.
To say that a dam would save lives and prevent prop-erty damage is not only mis-leading and untrue; it is an irresponsible use of his public office. Cr Skinner well knows that his claims continue to defy logic, council advisory staff recommendations, sci-entific research and majority public opinion.
The outcomes of a commis-sioned enquiry in Queensland is yet to determine how effec-tive the water authority was in playing God in its attempts to control nature with manu-factured water releases. There is no evidence whatsoever at this stage, Mr Skinner, that dams are a solution to flood mitigation in certain events. There is on the other hand evidence to support how such massive and costly engineer-ing projects will alter entire ecosystems and place at fur-ther threat the unique biodi-versity of the region.
Cr Skinner also refers to population forecasts for 2031 and ‘firm evidence…’ His statements are entirely inac-curate and untrue.
The forecast to which Cr Skinner refers are projections by state government in its Far North Coast Regional Strat-egy. The information and fig-ures contained within remain unchallenged. This is despite overwhelming community feedback given to council during the recently devel-oped Tweed Shire Commu-nity Strategic Plan on a range of environmental protection issues including alternative water saving options.
Steve TateStokers Siding
The most damaging floods, the ones that change land-scapes and destroy property, are the one in one hundred and one in fifty year very high rainfall events. During these relatively rare occa-sions, dams are of little con-sequence because of the huge volumes of water involved. Witness the recent flooding of the Wivenhoe Dam catch-ment and beyond to Brisbane. In mega events, releases are made to safeguard the dam, or the water soon reaches a level where it spills over the spillway.
The prudent course of ac-tion for Tweed Shire Coun-cil would be to heed the en-gineers’ advice and repair/modify the spillway of the Doon Doon Dam.
Dams are also subject to siltation and blue/green algae growths and are not the pana-cea for flood relief or water storage that some council-lors seem to imagine. Above
all they are extremely costly in dollar and environmental terms.
In an area of very high rainfall like the Caldera, the no-brainer option is to har-vest roof and storm water for onsite and local precinct use. Government rebates make rainwater tanks quite afford-able and householders do not have to ingest chlorine or other harmful chemicals like sodium hypochlorite. Com-bined with onsite grey water treatment and household by-product composting and with appropriate landscaping and plantings, residents can partly free themselves from the shackles and shekels of council rates.
Water and sewerage con-sumes half of council’s budg-et. Half of your rate contribu-tions.
The push for a dam on Byr-rill Creek is all about mak-ing money for Tweed Shire Council (in the long term) and assisting the mega coastal developers in the short term.
But the biggest lesson of all for governments arising from the record-breaking and deadly weather events from around the world – bliz-zards, bushfires, floods and droughts in both the northern and southern hemispheres – is the need to immediately adopt radical strategies to tackle global warming.
Is it responsible for coun-cil to spend millions on un-sustainable projects like new dams, beach replenishment, unnecessary ‘beautif ica-tion’ and unwanted high rise schemes when whole envi-ronmental and ecological sys-tems are unravelling before our eyes?
Hop E Hopkins.Caldera Environment Centre
It appears there is a belief that with the potential change of government the pro-Byrrill Creek dam lobby can change the Tweed Water Sharing Plan which prohibits Byrill Creek dam with the stroke of a pen.
The Water Sharing Plans go through an extensive process and are guided by expert/sci-entific guidelines.
The pro-Byrrill Creek lobby’s contempt of federal/international law which ex-ists over this area will open a legal minefield, squandering ratepayers’ dollars and leav-ing the shire’s future water supply at real risk.
I have no doubt this lobby will use the tragedy/destruc-tion of the recent Queensland floods to push their cause at the state election.
There are many dams in southeast Queensland and they do not stop floods.
Decision makers have al-lowed development on flood plains and with unsuitable
structures, the develop at any cost mentality.
Floods are a part of nature’s cycle. The simplistic con on the people that dams stop floods is negligent and causes complacency.
Good politicians work co-hesively with all sides of poli-tics in the best interests of our citizens. Many other politi-cians are consumed by self/vested interests and political games/pointscoring.
L SmithTweed Heads
I am still amazed at the claims that our mayor makes about the Byrrill Creek dam and that Tweed residents ac-tually believe these as truth!
Let’s look at some real facts from the Tweed Council’s own reports. The recommenda-tions by council staff and the Community Working Group did not rank Byrrill Creek as a close second inline water op-tion. It was the very last (third) option because of significant environmental impacts and the very real problems of es-calating timeframe, costs and holdups through the legisla-tive approval process.
As to Skinner’s comments that Byrrill Creek will provide a greater amount of water se-curity: raising Clarrie Hall Dam will hold more water (46,000ML) than either of the Byrrill Creek dam options (small dam 16,000ML and the large dam 36,000ML). This is one of the mayor’s justi-fications for the extra cost: raising Clarrie Hall Dam wall will cost an estimated $34,450,000 which is much less than a Byrrill Creek dam (small dam $45,437,500, large dam $67,355,000). Dams are notoriously known for es-calating costs, and costs for the larger Byrrill Creek Dam option have already risen. In
April 2009 it was $51m, in October 2009 $58.4m and in November 2010 $67m (a 30 per cent increase in 18 months).
To imply that a dam would save lives and prevent prop-erty damage is not only misleading and untrue, but there is no scientific evidence whatsoever at this stage that dams are a solution to flood mitigation. Hydrological experts have indicated that dams cannot be used for both water storage and flood miti-gation. More to the point is that southeast Queensland
councils allowed urban devel-opment on flood plain areas, which is happening right now in our shire with Cobaki and Kings Forest. If council was legitimately and responsibly concerned for the welfare of the general community then flood mitigation strategy would centre on ecological sustainability, responsible planning policy and develop-ment decision.
Why relentlessly pursue such a costly path fraught with problems, relying on a change of state government, to overrule the 10 year leg-
islation banning the Byrrill Creek dam in the Water Shar-ing Plan, when the council could withdraw gracefully?
Lastly, if you clear fell 400ha, and flood three en-dangered ecological commu-nities, 21 ha of national park, countless endangered spe-cies, and Aboriginal cultural sites, how, Mr Skinner, could you claim ‘everything pos-sible would be done at Byrrill Creek to protect those threat-ened species and Aboriginal archaeological finds’?

JUDITH LINDSAY Judith Lindsay, author of Love in Dying, is grateful for the life she has enjoyed. No-one travels through life without experiencing challenges and she believes all challenges give us a chance to build character. Several years ago, Judith was diagnosed with cancer. Because of her personal belief in natural medicine, she combined both allopathic and natural therapies in her recovery. As a distraction from her own cancer experience, and to allow herself to become a witness to her process rather than a participant, and eventually for her own cathartic benefit, she felt the need to put forward the theory in an easy-to-relate-to novel form; choosing to die can also be a success story. Perceiving oneself as ordinary is not an obstacle when aspiring to reach the extraordinary goal; thus the book Love in Dying.Love in Dying is a breathtaking story of
enduring love and friendship that transcend the ultimate journey of life.For more information visit www.loveindying.com.

So don’t dismiss this year’s people as pushovers, and forget that confrontational Aries approach: this year favours persuasive communication and diplomatic negotiation. Honey instead of chili.
TAURUS: Your boss planet Venus is favoured in a Rabbit year, said to be excellent for arts grants. Also for improving domestic aesthetics, because self-indulgent Bunny likes to spend on home comforts. But for personal growth this year needs the balance of active compassion towards those less fortunate.
GEMINI: In the year of the buck-toothed hustler people tend to avoid
dealing with diffi cult issues and prefer quantity to quality, hopping round lots of people without letting anyone too close. Sound like someone you know? Whatever, this year adores and rewards your organisation, communication and management skills.
CANCER: Introspective, security conscious Rabbit places this year’s focus on friends, family and home entertaining, nurturing, nesting, cuddling and snuggling – could it get any more Cancerian? A sharp bargainer with a keen eye for a canny deal, the Rabbit’s astute and prudent in money matters too.
LEO: Also known as the Cat, convivial Bunny loves the material world’s toys, joys and goodies - its year’s traditionally one of taking it easy and shelving
unpleasant realities. But all play and no work makes a lazy Leo, and others do look to you for leadership, Majesty...
VIRGO: The long eared carrot cruncher’s year is considered a leisurely, restorative year for self stressing Virgos. Your natural talents of style, refi nement, diplomacy and discretion will be valued, but take a note to self: If others aren’t interested in addressing their problems, why should you?
LIBRA: Rabbit avoids unpleasantness by withdrawing, and postpones disagreeable tasks as long as possible – sound familiar? Beauty loving, fashionable Bunnies love fl uffi ng up, and this year prizes elegance, glamour and style, so if you need to look gorgeous on a budget who can do that better than you?
SCORPIO: Determined, sophisticated, inscrutable, ruthlessly charming, confi dent of its own abilities to get what it wants: Rabbit shares many Scorpionic qualities. Its year is about looking after your own and loved ones’ interests, so what magic rabbit will you produce out of this year’s existential hat?
SAGITTARIUS: Free ranging Rabbit’s quick-witted, articulate and resilient so even if this year sets a trap, you’ll talk your way out of getting stewed with prunes. Overall it’s a year for doing what makes your heart happy, and these small furry fornicators are notorious for...
CAPRICORN: The Metal element gives ol’ Floppy Ears an extra edge, and this year benefi ts from cautious, controlled, conservative handling of fi nances with success more likely if
others are rigorously assessed, fi ne print thoroughly scrutinised and life’s glitches and bitches approached in an organised, orderly way.
AQUARIUS: Clever Rabbit can talk itself into or out of most situations, intuitively avoiding harm to itself, something I know you’ll relate to. This year sees you popular as always, with a core group of family and friends to help you back to balance if you tilt off -centre.
PISCES: Beneath its endearing, cuddly exterior, wily Rabbit’s a resourceful survivor. Like you, the cunning cottontail’s adept at getting its own way by negotiating and if necessary manipulating. Clever at bending the rules, this imaginative Rabbit year helps you fi nd creative ways around red tape and regulations.

Australian number one Zhao Zong Yuan booked his ticket to the World Cup in Siberia in August by winning the Zonal in Rotorua in dominant fashion.
In nine rounds Zhao, 25, conceded only a single draw while winning his other eight games against the best players in the region. His task was made somewhat easier by the remark-able form of Canberra teenager Andrew Brown, who defeated seeds 2, 3 and 4 – Olympians GM David Smerdon, IM George Xie and IM Gary Lane.
Thanks to his final round victory over Smerdon, Brown ultimately finished outright sec-ond, a point and a half behind Zhao, and was awarded the International Master title for his performance.
In the Women’s Zonal, top seed IM Irina Berezina looked to be coasting to victory but a last round draw allowed Canberra 15-year-old Emma Guo to catch her on the line. As Oceania is only allowed one representative in the next Women’s World Cup, the two will be required to con-
test a playoff later in the year.The following game was played
in the final round in Rotorua. Zhao already had the tournament wrapped up but shows no mercy.
Rotorua 2011White: Z-Y ZhaoBlack: V FeldmanOpening: Anti-Grunfeld1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3!? Feldman is a Grunfeld (3.Nc3 d5) expert so Zhao uses an old Korchnoi system designed to defuse 3...d5. Feldman is not to be discouraged. 3...d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.f4 f5!? 8...Nc6 is far more common after which Zhao was intending to try the sharp line 9.d5 Na5 10.Bd4 e5 11.Bxe5 Bxe5 12.fxe5 Qh4+ 13.g3 Qe7 14.Qd4 Rd8 15.b4!? when Black’s only good move is 15...Nac4!. 9.e5 e6 Rather pas-sive; 9...Be6 is standard. 10.Nf3 Nc6 11.Qb3 Ne7 12.Rc1 a5 13.a4 Nbd5 14.Nxd5 Nxd5 15.Bc4 b6 Given time for 16...Bb7 Black’s position would be fully satisfactory but Zhao gives his opponent no peace. 16.Bxd5! exd5 17.Kf2 Bb7 18.h4! h5 19.Qb5! Re8 Allowing a stunning breakthrough. 19...Rc8 was passive but necessary. 20.Rc6!! Suddenly Black can-not save his g pawn and his position becomes critical. 20...Bxc6 21.Qxc6 Qe7?! The only chance lay in 21...Rf8 when 22.Qxg6 Qe8! hangs on and 22.Ng5 Qe8 23.Qxd5+ Kh8 24.Rc1 Rd8 is ugly but not over. 22.Ng5 Bh6 23.Qxg6+ Qg7 24.Qxf5 Re7 25.Rh3 Rf8 26.Qd3 Bxg5 27.hxg5 c5 28.Rf3 Now White’s pawns are ready to roll forward and Black is helpless.28...c4 29.Qc2 Qh7 30.g6 1-0

Busting OutIt’s the album that lead singer Mason
Rack says breaks all the genre rules – a
classic mix of heavy rock, blues, jazz and
roots complemented by the modern
flavours of country punk, jazz, alternative
rock and reggae funk. Mason Rack Band
is back – with a new look and the fresh
and raucous studio album Limits of Grip.
Mason Rack Band pours out alt-rock tunes
influenced by blues, southern stomp,
swamp, rock and roots. Their music is a
collection of rock and blues with flashes
of Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix, and roots
extending to Ben Harper. Throw in a slide
guitar, a rocking bluesy bass, massive drum
percussion and the result is a spectacular
kaleidoscope of musical genres. Originating
from the Gold Coast, the Mason Rack Band
is renowned for its amazing stage perfor-
mances that have had punters kicking up their heels for years
– mixed with an interactive percussion set that involves all three
band members and the crowd. Mason Rack is a natural enter-
tainer, blessed with a tapestry of slide guitar, wild ‘broken glass’
vocals and story-fuelled blues rock. Mason has played alongside
artists like Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Buddy Guy, Keith Urban, John Foggarty, Tony Joe White, Jimmy Barnes, Phil Emmanuel and Tex Perkins amongst others. The Limits of Grip album launch is at the Coolangatta Hotel on Friday.
Hi energy on the Beam
The Beam has found a recipe that will create an exciting and fun-filled atmosphere. By mixing Top 40 hits with modern pop/rock and classic tunes they are sure to suit every occasion and make The Beam a duo to remember. Consisting of two well-seasoned musicians, Jess and Chris, The Beam is an extremely energetic and hard- working duo and have performed at venues individually and together throughout Brisbane, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and rural Queensland. They have guaranteed to create a cool atmosphere with melodic guitars and vocals and get the party started with rockin’ tunes. Sunday at Currumbin RSL.
Just down the LanewayPaul Hannan and Louise O’Reilly met and bond-ed over an eclectic crossing of folk and
country traditions in 2007. As Laneway, the pair’s enviable and relaxed attention to old and new combines a love of harmony, a touch of psychedelia and a pop sensibility. Formerly an acoustic harmony-based duo, they expanded their sound for the record with the help of some dear and talented friends, Tom Butts (True Live) and Fingers Malone (The Fingers Malone Ensemble, Sex Fox
Six). Imagine Lindsey Buckingham and Gillian Welch meeting in a down-town pool hall, setting off on a road trip and stopping only for tea, oranges, creek swims and tequila; this journey of two gui-tars and voices heading out country has an immediate familiarity that jumps out at you on first listen, before the incredible depth of songwriting sinks in.Most keen to share their sound with listeners in the flesh, Lane-way have performed live across the east coast. They are no stran-ger to festivals. Winners of the Whittlesea Country Music Festival’s
Best Duo Talent, headliners of the Brunswick 11 Spanish Angels City Country Music Festival and a part of music programs at Peats Ridge and Tablelands Folk Festival, Laneway are establishing a diverse and growing fan base. They play the Sheoak Shack on Saturday.
It’s Red enoughHaving worked alongside some of Australia’s premier musi-cal artists, the dynamic duo Red Bantoo are bursting onto the Australian music scene with a star-studded debut. Collaborations over the years with the likes of Regurgitator, Resin Dogs and The Bird have seen Red Bantoo grace stages like the legend-ary Glastonbury Festival to our very own Big Day Out. Their debut album Yesterday to the Rescue is the latest gem, released through the always reliable Hydrofunk Records. A potent fusion of electronica, jazz and beat-driven, soulful tones, Red Bantoo are taking their captivating live show around the country on a string of album launch dates in the coming months. Producer Si Fixion aka Simon Durrington and keyboard maestro Dan Brown are the eclectic and boundary-pushing duo that is Red Bantoo. Over the years they have been garnering the attention of some Australian industry heavyweights including El Gusto of Hermitude and Dave Atkins of Wolfmother/Resin Dogs fame who have both worked on tracks from the album. In conjunction with such recognised talent, Red Bantoo have also enlisted a string of local artists

from the Byron Bay area to effec-tively create a showcase of local talent including vocalists Sonia Leeson and Shelly Hughes with Stuart Currie on the trombone and James Howard on saxophone. Created in the perfect beachside backdrop, Yesterday to the Rescue is an album made to chill to that still has a beat-driven heaviness. Reminiscent of artists like St Germain and Mo Horizons, the handpicked vintage samples and crafty beats combine vibrant live elements for a modern, innovative and atmospheric sound. The first single from this very suave, down-tempo album is the ap-propriately titled Breeze. A soundtrack for summer with a distinctly reggae feel, this is no surprise considering the golden beaches of Byron Bay where the song was written. This track is a perfect example of the wealth of talent that appears across the album. Live Red Bantoo brings their years of experience to the table resulting in a dance floor friendly and rich musical experience. The guys take a seasoned mixture of sequenced and live music to create sets that are guaranteed to im-press. Yesterday to the Rescue is a highly talented and original debut. With it, Red Bantoo combine world-class talent while distilling the essence of the Byron Bay area to cre-
ate an album that is smooth and charismatic – pure quality, all class! Currumbin Soundlounge on Friday.
Songwriters on the SonglineUkitopia Arts Collective presents Songwriters on the Songline in the atmospheric Uki Holy Trinity Church with Rich Bell at the mixing desk. This is the first event in a season of Songline events in 2011 and they are excited to present the ethereal and glamorous Renee Searles and, direct from Woodford sharing his spiritual music, Andy Copeman.Renee Searles writes elegant sepia-tinged songs of love, longing and desire, bringing to the stage a touch of glamour and mystique from a bygone era. Ethereal, romantic and bewitching, her music weaves a tapestry of lush melodies, lilting
poetry and cheeky old-timey blues. Accompa-nied by Oles Krolikowski and Marcus Patterson on guitars and her tiny friend the ukulele, Renee leads her audience on a journey into the vulner-able places we all share, breathing life into the lost words of the human heart.Andy Copeman sings songs from the heart… songs of love, passion, spirit, connection to
the Earth and connection to others. After many years in the folk, world and rock scenes trying unsuccessfully to change the world by telling people how bad things are, he is now successfully changing the world by telling people how good things are, and how amazing they can be. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, recording engineer and producer, video artist, sound healer, shamanic practitioner and sweatlodge facilitator based in Maleny,
where he and his partner Laurel Hefferon run a centre of excellence in love, light, music and healing called Awakening Centre. His music is full of influences from ancient Celts, the Middle East, Eastern and Northern Europe and beyond, with touches of jazz, rock, reggae, electronica, mantra and poetry. See Songwriters on the Songline on Friday in Uki.

Soap BoxHIGH RENT LOW LIFE
Every couple of weeks I’ll get an email or text from a friend looking for single accommodation. I got one from a good friend a few months ago informing me that her landlord had requested she vacate her studio by Christmas. It’s not a good time to be without a crash pad – just ask Mary and Joseph.
My friend’s landlord was wanting to put the rent up by $100 per week. As a person on a minimum income this would have meant that as a single person she would have been paying $300 per week. Apart from smuggling in backpackers and subletting her linen press as bunk beds it wasn’t ever going to be possible for her to maintain that sort of rent.
Finding somewhere affordable to live in this region is like an extreme sport. For every rental advertised there are dozens of people lining up for a shot, armed with references, bank statements and affirmations that they hope give them an edge. It’s horrible to see people pitted against each other trying to prove their worth. We live in a tourist destination. Our housing prices are ridiculous, and thus so are our rents.
My partner and I are about to start building in the next six months. As a family with five kids, we’re looking at having to build a six-bedroom house. When we were drawing up the plans we thought, well, why not build a granny flat to offset the mortgage. It seemed like a win-win idea. We’d be providing affordable housing for someone in the community with a burning desire to live in the shadow of a large noisy family from toddler to teenagers while at the same time reducing our hefty re-payments. While it’s now possible and encouraged to put a granny flat on your property, it turns out that the council contributions are prohibitive. It’s somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000 for what’s then seen as a ‘dual occupancy’.
So what’s the point? We’ll be financially disadvantaged more if we build a studio. Consequently most of the shire’s single people are forking out $200 a week for the privilege of living in an airless garage. It’s pretty humiliating being 50 years old and living in a bedsit. Single lodgings, namely one-bedroom studios, are the highest-sought accommodation types. There are people who haven’t partnered; there are people between partners; people with partners but who need their own space; people who’ve separated and have halved their income and have their kids two days a week; there are people who’ve tired of the endless headache of share housing; and people whose budgets just don’t stretch much past $200 per week.
Ironically there are plans afoot to turn the Brunswick Heads squash centre into, well, into another sort of squash centre: numerous one- and two-bedroom units. While I can see the need for affordable housing, shouldn’t it also be liveable? Wouldn’t it be a bit like a retirement village? If the council dropped its $30,000 contribution and encouraged new home builders and people dwelling on substantial blocks or properties to build attractive, safe, legal dwellings, then a huge part of our community would have their housing problem solved. In the meantime, I have a box in my backyard that I cover with a piece of tarp that’s available to rent at a bargain rate of $180 per week. No pets. No drinking. No smoking – you could set fire to the box. And I haven’t insured it because it’s not really legal. The only catch is I need you to vacate for six weeks every Christmas while I let it as holiday accommodation for $2000/wk to a bunch of dickheads from Sydney. References required.

Gold Coast Art Gallery The intertwining of human and animal form provide the inspiration for the next instalment in the ever-evolving art works of Fiona Kennedy-Altoft. Offspring will be exhibited alongside the 12 Degrees of Latitude exhibition at the Gold Coast Art Gallery in February. To share wall-space with the likes of well-known Australian artists such as Judy Watson, Gordon Bennett, Sidney Nolan and Margaret Olley among many others, Kennedy-Altoft has really come into her own. Offspring marries the well-known Australian native bird, the magpie, with her interpretations of family, juxtapositioning her role as a mother by assuming the identity of the magpie defending her ‘nest’, and playing out the mother/child relationship in new and exciting ways. The artist subjects – childhood, leaving the nest, socialising, domestic life with animals – all come alive creating a mischievous, skilful, crafted portrayal on canvas. This exhibition will be the eighth individual showing for Kennedy-Altoft who already has some very significant achievements under her belt such as residencies in Thailand and 19 Karen and over 40 appearances in group shows across regional Queensland, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 12 Degrees of Latitude is the first exhibition to curate works specifically from Queensland’s regional art galleries and university collections and has been on tour throughout Queensland in 2009 and 2010. The exhibition will be on show at the Gold Coast Art Gallery Bundall Rd, Surfers Paradise from February 12 until April 3.

What’s that Mista?Byron Seven piece funk/soul outfit Mr Speaker are set to get Uki
jump-

the boys lob in at the Mt Warning Hotel. It’s their first trip to
the Tweed hinterland (it’s a very small world they inhabit). Mr
Speaker have been rapidly carving out a niche for themselves as
purveyors of a rare style of swing and funk music that sees peo-
ple cast aside previous conceptions of the genres and embrace
the new sound with both feet. Throw in some blues, a touch of
reggae and even some Latin – half a song’s worth – and it’s a
recipe for some fine shenani-
gans. Scientific research proves
that 127 people have met their
future spouse on the dancefloor
at a Mr Speaker gig. Will you be
next? They play the Mt Warning
Hotel in Uki on Sunday (and
the Rails in Byron this Friday
as well).

My mate Richard Creighton came down from the Sunshine Coast with his boat on the weekend and we went crazy, heading to just about every bream spot we could think of. We were both using exactly the same gear but for some reason Richard was catching an im-pressive amount of legal bream while I struggled to get a fish.
It came down to lure choice and my surface lure was an atomic hardz in ‘Ghost Gill’ colour, while Ric used a Berk-ley lure that looked like a min-iature ‘Sammy’. The colour was the key as often our lures would land less than a metre apart; we were using the same retrieval but my lure went untouched while his yellow/red coloured lure got smashed time and time again.
The biggest fish were caught at a spot we call the ‘Pink Fla-mingo’ just down from PKG’s. You have to check out the lure Dicky used, hanging out from the monster bream’s mouth.

Consumers are being urged to use new heat-refl ective coatings technology this summer to help cut carbon emissions. Accord-ing to not-for-profit program GreenPainters, this technology should be considered as a way to to signifi cantly increase build-ing energy effi ciency, by cutting cooling costs.
‘Nano-ceramic paint technol-ogy is one of the most signifi -cant advances in the coatings industry,’ says Daniel Wurm, GreenPainters Manager. ‘It means that we can cut cooling costs of a building by up to 40 per cent, simply by helping the building refl ect solar radiation before it causes heat build-up inside. Th is results in lower air-conditioning energy use, sav-ing money and cutting carbon emissions.’
GreenPainters, a national
program for sustainability in the painting industry, has partnered with Astec Paints, a major Aus-tralian manufacturer of heat-refl ective coatings, to promote the new technology.
Th e coatings, which are ap-plied to the exterior surfaces of a building, work by refl ecting the infra-red wavelengths of solar radiation. According to Green-Painters, this property allows them to effi ciently refl ect heat regardless of the colour used.
‘Of course, lighter colours will always result in higher refl ec-tance values, but these products also offer significant results when darker colours are used. Specifi ers who want the best re-sults should try to choose light-er colours to achieve the highest refl ective effi ciency’, says Daniel. ‘It’s also important to choose a manufacturer who meets all the
other environmental consider-ations, such as manufacturing process and VOC levels.’
GreenPainters has helped de-veloped a training course that educates painters to understand how the products work and the
importance of using them. For more info visit www.
greenpainters.com.au; if youwould like to arrange an in-terview, please contact DanielWurm on 0402 312 234, or [email protected].

A guided residents tour of the proposed site for a new and controversial caravan park south of Norries Headland at Bogangar/Cabarita was well attended with around 60 people enjoying the natural regeneration that has taken place there over the past years. The Land and Property Man-agement Authority and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserves Trust insist, through a public-relations company, on telling us that the land is mostly a degraded sand-min-ing site anyway and the only good use for it is a caravan park. Well, the locals beg to differ; it’s a site to behold now, with all the native regrowth they saw there including stag horns, callitris pines and other rare and interesting plants, as well as animals such as the green sea turtle, glossy black cockatoo, swamp wallabies and goannas. The locals say that even the area where the local dunecare group has been refused permission to work in has regenerated, with many older large trees and a canopy forming in places.
We knew it wouldn’t be too long before that old darling Laura Norder would reappear during the state election cam-paign. First off the blocks was the Nationals’ Geoff Provest who declared that no new brothels would be allowed in the Tweed under a proposed crackdown and review of legal brothel numbers by the coali-tion. Mr Provest wants a cap on the number of brothels al-lowed in certain areas, similar to licensed premises, chemists and newsagents.
The local daily rag thought it would be a good idea to publish two photos of teen-agers jumping off a bridge in a recent edition but a reader found it irresponsible, saying around 400 people suffer spi-
nal injuries every year, with 42 per cent of those injuries in the age group 15 to 30. ‘Where is the duty of care?’ the reader asked about promoting such a dangerous activity among our youth.
A PR company spruiking on behalf of the pest control in-dustry wants us to tell our readers that all spiders are dangerous and we shouldn’t tolerate them in our homes. On the contrary, Backburn-er, despite being a notorious arachnophobe, believes that we should distinguish between spiders that carry deadly poi-son, spiders with milder poi-son, spiders that don’t poison humans at all (the vast major-ity), spiders that are aggres-sive, spiders that are meek and spiders that do a useful insect-eating job for us. Natural pest control, you might say. Filling your house with toxic gas and
destroying useful creatures on the bidding of a zoologically-challenged PR flak is not the way to go.
Judging by the fierce response in the letters pages to a naive throwaway line by Greens Cr Katie Milne in one of our sto-ries last week, she may need to choose her words a little more carefully in future. Cr Milne made a huge value judgement when telling The Echo that farmers who had ‘been there forever’ were somehow more knowledgeable about the land or environment than those who have more recently de-cided to take up farming life, which we all know is a simply not true. Are these lifelong farmers above reproach, Cr Milne? Have they ever not ille-gally cleared land or polluted waterways? We doubt it, but her comment did show she knows who to butter up for
political support, as it was the canefarmers who backed her successful campaign to stop a mega marina on the Tweed River a few years back.
Developer Bob Ell, the man behind the Tweed’s two big-gest township sites of Kings Forest and Cobaki recently approved by the state gov-ernment, has had his plans for a $12 million mansion in Cremorne (see Backburner, January 20) frustrated by the regional planning panel. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Ell’s company Leda Holdings has been told it cannot build a rooftop ten-nis court for its nine-bed-room house and must move a 40-metre inclinator away from the neighbour’s bound-ary. Planners for Leda had of-fered to change the plans but the court ruled they did not go far enough.

G r a i l Q u e s tIntroduction to Grail Quest(an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year part-time foundation course.GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.
Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography.
