Re-elected Tweed MP Geo� Provest has challenged residents to hold him to his election pledges, which include a major planning study for a rail link between Coolangatta and Casino.

The rail corridor for the study, which Mr Provest said he wanted done by the end of this year, poten-tially covers the seats of the three re-elected sitting National Party MPs for the Northern Rivers: Mr Provest, � omas George in Lismore and Don Page in Ballina, who convincingly won their seats last Saturday in the landslide which toppled the Labor government.

Rail money ‘committed’In the leadup to the election, Mr

Provest announced at a public rally that his party would undertake a $1 million planning study for the rail line and a� er the coalition’s victory said the government had ‘committed’ the money for the track extending south from Coolangatta airport.

Rail campaigners such as Trains on Our Tracks (TOOT) and other can-didates had criticised the National Party MPs for reneging on a promise made at the previous state election to build a commuter rail service with six services a day at a cost of around $100 million and replacing it with a promise to conduct another feasibil-ity study.

Mr Provest told media, a� er win-ning the seat for the second time, that he wanted to start talks soon with the Queensland government over the rail plan and other cross-border issues such as business taxes.

He said he was also committed to � nding a location for a new po-lice station and an increase in police

numbers to match the area’s popula-tion growth, claiming ‘when I make a commitment I follow it through and stand behind it.’

The former Tweed Heads Bowls Club manager took the seat from Labor’s Neville Newell in 2007 a� er the Labor government’s axing of the Murwillumbah to Casino rail service in 2004 boosted his chances. This week, he � rmed his grip on the seat with an increased margin of around 22 per cent.

The Greens also improved their vote from last state election, with � rst-time candidate Andrea Vickers doubling the Greens’ primary vote with over 15 per cent of the total vote, while Labor’s candidate Reece Byrnes su� ered the average statewide swing against Labor of around 16 per cent. (For latest � gures visit the NSW Elec-toral Commission website.)

Mr Byrnes said he would ‘hold’ Mr Provest to his promises.

Mr George had suggested before the poll that the election was a ‘refer-endum’ on the proposed controversial Byrrill Creek dam as part of the infra-structure needed to cater for Tweed shire’s expected population growth.

But Susan Stock, the Greens’ candi-date in the Lismore electorate, which takes in most rural parts of the Tweed Valley including Murwillumbah, re-jected the claim, saying the polling booths at Kunghur and Uki were the closest to the proposed dam site and both voted overwhelmingly for the Greens, who are opposed to the dam.

� e issue has divided the two Na-tional Party MPs covering Tweed Shire. Mr George declared his sup-port for a new dam, which would be in his seat, at a public rally just before the election, putting him at odds with

One of Australia’s rarest shore birds is feared to have fallen victim to rampag-ing four-wheel drive vehicles on Fingal Head’s Letitia Spit.

� e Tweed Bird Observers group says it has been monitoring a pair of beach stone-curlews at Kerosene Inlet at the tip of the spit – but neither has been spotted since September last year.

  ‘We’re putting that down to the activities of vehicles and dogs,’ said Tweed Birders secretary Linda Bran-nian.

� e National Parks and Wildlife Ser-vice says there are less than 14 known breeding pairs of beach stone-curlews in NSW and when a nest was discov-ered at Brunswick Heads this summer it attracted wide attention.

‘A 24-hour watch was mounted on the nest site to keep intruders at bay,’ said Ms Brannian, ‘but we’ve had no such luck at Letitia Spit.

‘We carry out a monthly survey of all shore birds at Fingal and we’re dis-mayed at the number of illegal cars on the beach and dogs creating a dis-turbance.

‘Stone-curlews are very secretive and well camou� aged but their nests are very vulnerable to predation.’

Rampaging vehicles have caused growing alarm among Fingal inter-est groups and last week they banded together and erected signs warning drivers they were on private land if they le� the road.

Police were invited to the gathering but did not put in an appearance.

Turtles in dangerFingal Head Coastcare president

Kay Bolton said they were specially alarmed at the havoc wrought on the nests of leatherback and green turtles.

‘The coastal vegetation is being destroyed by bush bashing and the creation of a network of illegal roads and large areas of vegetation including Banksia forest have been destroyed by � res,’ she said.

‘� e fragile wetlands are being rap-idly degraded and destroyed. Letitia Spit is home to many migratory birds like the little tern which are protected

by international agreements but all these illegal activities are destroying their habitat.’

Fingal Head Community Associa-tion president John Parker said the issue had been discussed at several meetings and members were ex-tremely concerned at the vandalism of a fragile environment and the threat posed by four wheel drives speeding through the village and down Letitia Road.

Much of the land is owned by the Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council and their members say they’ve had enough.

  ‘It’s so dangerous living on Letitia Road these days,’ said one resident.

‘Cars barrel down there creating a dust cloud and we’re frightened for the safety of children and old people. Someone is going to get hit soon.’      

Other activities impacting on the spit include illegal boat launching, quad and motorbike riding, rubbish dumping, camping and dangerous and illegal � res.

Ballina Shire is poised to em-brace cutting-edge technology to turn its growing green waste problem into electricty and fer-tiliser while Tweed is wavering in the wings.

Ballina has captured national attention with its plans to build a pyrolysis plant to manufacture biochar from green waste and to � re a power generator with the syngas produced as a by-product.

‘We’ll be hitting the no or go button within six months,’ said Ballina Council’s director of waste management Rod Daw-son.

Meanwhile Tweed Shire Council’s head of waste man-agement Adam Faulkner said biochar technology was only one of a number of options being examined and he could not second-guess which way they would go. And he said any move would be at least six or seven years away.

Ballina’s plant, costing $9 mil-lion, will handle two tonnes of green waste an hour operating 24 hours a day and will be four times the size of a pilot plant operating at Summersby on the NSW Central Coast.

The plant will heat waste matter to between 400 and 500 degrees C in the absence of oxygen breaking the matter

down into 50 per cent syngas and the balance biochar which has remarkable properties as a fertiliser.

Driving the Ballina project are legislative changes govern-ing land� lls.

‘We will not be granted per-mission to open up new land� ll sites unless we commit to a new kerbside green waste service,’ said Mr Dawson.

‘And this in turn will generate more green waste than we, or most other councils, can cur-rently deal with. We could wind up with compost mountains.’

Ballina’s green waste service, which handles both garden clippings and kitchen scraps, starts on July 4.

‘Of course that’s way too soon for our plant to be running but in  the meantime Lismore will take our surplus waste and process it at their conventional windrow composting facility. It will give us a chance to get up and running.

‘We haven’t jumped into this in haste. Nine million dollars is a lot of money for a small shire like ours,’ said Mr Dawson.

‘We’ve been developing our business plan for over two years in close consultation with Pacif-ic Pyrolysis, a private company.’

Ballina’s venture has been closely watched by biochar expert Paul Taylor of Mount Warning, a retired astrophysi-cist living in Mount Warning who recently published an au-thoritative work, � e Biochar Revolution.

Dr Taylor said biochar was based on a very ancient tech-nique involving cooking green waste in the absence of air.

Biochar was used by pre-Co-lumbian Indians in the Amazon to create oases of fertility in the notoriously poor and leached rainforest soils. The ‘midden’ soils known as terra preta, or black earth, were of human derivation using sophisticated fire management techniques, said Dr Taylor.

Biochar has been shown to raise soil fertility markedly while locking away vast quanti-ties of carbon in a stable form that won’t be released back into the atmosphere for thousands of years, he said.

It has also been very e� ective

when mixed with conventional fertilisers.

‘� ey found you need much less commercial fertiliser to achieve the same result,’ he said.

Dr Taylor said Tweed’s cane industry was ideally placed to take advantage of pyrolysis technology.

‘A limiting factor is transport costs hauling waste to the py-rolysis plant. � e cane industry, however, already has a trans-port network in place hauling cane to the mill and returning the waste to the farms.

‘A pyrolysis plant adjacent

to the Condong mill would be ideal, providing combustible oils to the steam generators and producing a valuable fertiliser at the same time.’

Biochar is currently selling at about $400 a tonne.

� e current system of feeding raw green waste into the fur-naces sees the bulk of the mat-ter being burnt leaving a small quantity of ash. It also leaves behind a good deal of potash which creates problems for the furnaces, said Dr Taylor.

A pyrolysis plant, on the oth-er hand, leaves the potassium or potash in the biochar.

Dr Taylor said one inhibiting factor for the biochar industry was the lack of stability in the price on carbon.

‘The government keeps changing its mind on � xing a price,’ he said.

‘It deters potential investors from coming into the industry.’

Nevertheless biochar in the Tweed is already attracting commercial attention.

Black is Gold Pty Ltd based in Maleny, Queensland, has con-� rmed it has opened negotia-tions with a group at Kunghur for the supply of biochar.

Black is Gold director Dr Stan Joyce said if the Kunghur group can produce sufficient quantities at the right quality then his company is prepared to purchase in 20 tonne consign-ments with a view of establish-ing a long-term contract.

It is understood Black is Gold is also negotiating a similar deal in Kyogle and at other sites in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

Tweed ‘ideal’ for biochar project

Mr Provest who says he prefers raising the wall of the existing Clarrie Hall Dam to cater for future water supply needs in his electorate downstream.

He warned last year that council would be wasting rate-payers’ money by pursuing a new dam when few had been

approved in either NSW or Queensland for 40 years.

The contentious decision, which went against council planners’ advice, was made by mayor Kevin Skinner using his casting vote with support from Crs Warren Polglase and Phil Youngblutt, who are senior lo-cal National Party supporters.

An SOS has been sent out to people to volunteer to help people facing serious life-shortening illness.

Tweed Palliative Service (TPS) is conducing a training program for volunteers next month but those interested are being urged to register as soon as possible.

Longtime TPS volunteer Autumne Camidge said team members were ‘giving these folk the option to spend their � nal months, weeks and days in the familiar comfort of their own homes or in the homely comfort of the Wedg-etail respite-hospice facility at Dulguigan.

‘Death or serious illness is a subject most people are happy to avoid until it forces itself upon them or their loved ones, yet it could happen to any of us at any time,’ Ms Camidge said.

‘Families and indiviuals are o� en struggling with the many challenges that are present during such times, and Tweed Palliative Support are ready to give them both emotional and practical support.’

Newly trained TPS volun-teer carers are placed with a ‘buddy’ to ensure they will feel

con� dent and comfortable in the service and all volunteers receive ongoing education and support.

‘� ere are many opportuni-ties for volunteer involvement other than hands-on caring with TPS providing transport.

Anyone interested in being a volunteer should call the TPS of� ce on 02 6672 8459. Train-ing begins May 4 and is every Wednesday from 9.30am-3pm until July 6.

Air� eld expansion plans draw � akMurray Simpson

A dog� ght in Murwillumbah over an old � ghter pilot’s gar-den shows no sign of abating.

� e battle has been raging at the gloriously located Bob Whittle airfield for nearly a year and despite the best e� orts of Tweed Shire Council chief executive o� cer Mike Rayner to broker a ceasefire, it still shows no sign of resolution.

The combatants are the Murwillumbah Aero Club and Scenic Rim Aviation, both of whom hold leases at the air-� eld run by the council.

At issue are plans by Scenic Rim to expand by raising its o� ce to the � rst � oor and in-stalling a hangar underneath.

� e problem is Scenic Rim’s building is not quite wide

enough to accommodate an aircraft with an 11.5 metre wingspan so it must shave o� a piece of the aero club’s garden next door.

� e club feels strongly about the garden which, it says, has a certain heritage value since it was the wish of highly deco-rated World War II pilot Bob Whittle that it be preserved.

Desert campaign‘Flying ace Bob Whittle � ew

Tomahawks in the desert cam-paign in Libya, where he earned the Distinguished Flying Med-al, and later in the Paci� c.

Local historian Ron Johan-sen said he was known as ‘the man they couldn’t keep down’.

A� er the war he ran a chem-ist shop in Murwillumbah’s main street for many years.

A feature of the garden is a Bangalow palm which a council arborist inspected and declared far too expensive to shi� .

Moving the palm to the Bob Whittle Memorial Garden at the airfield entrance would involve a specialised water blasting truck to cut the roots, a crane and the lowering of the power lines by Country Energy.

� e ongoing dispute means neither party can renegotiate a long-term lease with the coun-cil. � eir existing leases have now lapsed and the council has agreed to let them stay on a month by month basis in the meantime.

� e matter has been before the council twice in the past two months and at its last

meeting the council resolved to continue with the tempo-rary lease arrangements for six months pending the outcome of a development investigation report for the eastern tie down area.

Warring partiesMr Rayner said he had meet-

ings with the warring parties in October last year to try and hammer out a deal ‘and some elements of compromise were � agged by both parties at these meetings’.

‘But in January 2011 Scenic Rim wrote to council advis-ing that negotiations had once again reached an impasse.’

Mr Rayner said an aero club meeting on March 3 resolved once again to reject Scenic Rim’s o� er.

Up and coming young bands from the Tweed and southern Gold Coast will battle it out on stage next Wednesday, April 6.

But often the real battle is just to have their music heard.

The Safer Communities Alli-ance has organised the inaugu-ral Tweed Battle of the Bands as a way to help local acts show-case their sound to a wider au-dience.

Alliance secretary Kristie Hedley said Tweed in particular lacked youth-oriented venues.

‘There’s a real gap in this area,

which makes it hard to get a gig,’ she said.

‘These kids have got real tal-ent, but they’re sort of floun-dering around wondering what to do.’

The alliance has previously campaigned for cross-border policing and late night trans-port out of Coolangatta, but is currently focusing on develop-ing more youth events for the area.

Ms Hedley said it’s hoped the drug and alcohol-free event, which is being held this week in conjunction with National Youth Week celebrations, will

be held twice a year in future.Eight bands from the south-

ern Gold Coast and Byron re-gion will perform at the event, which includes metal, pop rock, reggae and rock acts.

Ms Hedley said band mem-bers ranged in age from 11 to 30 years, with some acts seasoned performers, while others have never performed publicly.

However, she said the talent of the bands, who must per-form original material as part of their set, had been a standout.

‘It’s quite amazing what these kids are doing in their garage,’ she said.

‘The quality of the music, I think, is really going to blow people away.’

Competition judges include well known local musos Dan Hannaford and Lucas Proud-foot formerly of Max Judo.

The competition winners re-ceive three days’ recording at Crystal Grid Studios in Byron Bay, a gig at Twin Towns paying $500 and a photography and marketing package.

The battle gets underway to-morrow, Friday (April 1) at 6pm (DST) at Tweed Heads Civic Centre and continues on April 5. The final will be held in April.

The 14th annual Community Printmakers (CPM) National Print Awards go on show at Tweed River Art Gallery to-morrow, Friday, and will be judged and presented this Sat-urday, April 2, after the exhibi-tion’s official opening at 5.30pm (DST).

Judging the 2011 awards is Professor Sasha Grishin, the Sir William Dobell Professor of Art and head of the department of art history at the Australian Na-tional University in Canberra.

The awards, organised each year by CPM members in part-nership with the gallery, bring together some of the best Aus-tralian artist printmakers. This year the award drew 130 entries

from around Ausrtralia.Professor Grishin, who

will give a talk on contempo-rary digital printmaking from 3.30pm, said printmaking at the close of the first decade of the 21st century had emerged as ‘one of the most exciting medi-ums in which much of the best and most innovative art in Aus-tralia is being made today’.

Visitors are also invited to at-tend a free public program on Sunday, April 17, at 10.30am un-til 12.30pm when printmaker Steve Sawkins will demonstrate the technique of woodblock printing.

The awards exhibition will be on show till the end of next month.

Tweed’s mossie menace has subsided signi� cantly thanks to recent heavy fresh water � ushing of the notorious Ter-ranora mangroves.

Council entomologist Clive Easton said the poorly � ushed Terranora wetland was the Tweed’s most chronic and pro-li� c mosquito breeding area.

But he said insect numbers were well down this year due to the frequent � ooding and flushing of the area by high spring tides and heavy rain as-sociated with the current La Niña event.

In a report tabled at the last council meeting Mr Easton said the 18-hectare site had been extensively monitored in recent months by Griffith University’s School of Environ-mental Science and Australian Rivers Institute and the coun-cil’s own entomology unit.

The research project was funded by the Australian mos-quito and arbovirus research committee and the NSW Rec-

reational Fishing Trust.Researchers found there had

been a marked decline in mos-quito numbers, reduced water acidity and an increase in � sh numbers due to the ‘phenom-enal run of large large spring tides’.

Mr Easton said research was focusing on potential habitat modi� cations to the wetland to improve the site’s water quality

and biodiversity as well as to reduce mosquito numbers.

But approval was still needed from the NSW Land and Prop-erty Management Authority to carry out works to improve tidal � ushing.

� e summer months saw a steady number of mosquito-borne diseases reported.

Mr Easton said there were 21 arbovirus notifications in

the shire – 10 Ross River virus cases and 11 Barmah Forest vi-rus cases.

Disease levels are likely to drop in coming months, he said.

‘Considering the low num-bers of saltmarsh mosquitoes trapped over the summer it is likely the diseases were carried by mainly freshwater mosqui-toes this season,’ he said.

‘� e most commonly caught mosquitoes in carbon dioxide baited traps were the brackish water breeding Culex sitiens, the domestic breeding Aedes notoscriptus and the fresh-water breeding Coquillettidia xanthogaster.’

Up, up and away

Mossies stung by heavy rain, high tides

An online community forum about concept plans for a cen-tral park at Kingscli� has drawn a strong response, according to Tweed Shire Council.

The month-long forum, at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/kingscli� park, closes on April 12 and council is urging more residents to participate.

Council’s senior design en-gineer, Warren Boyd, said the forum was ‘really about fine-tuning the design of Kingscli� Central Park, to ensure it con-tains the features and facilities the community wants’.

‘A previous round of public consultation in 2007, to create the Kingscli� Foreshore Master Plan, identi� ed what the com-munity wanted at each section of the town’s foreshore,’ Mr Boyd said.

‘� ere was clear cut support for a reduction in the size of the Kingscli� Beach Holiday Park and the creation of a commu-nity park in the land it vacated.’

He said the online forum

would help to decide what will go in that park.

Mr Boyd said the foreshore master plan mapped out a staged upgrade of the whole Kingscli� foreshore from Cud-gen Creek to the Kingscliff North Holiday Park.

‘It speci� cally identi� es the site between the Cudgen Head-land Surf Life Saving Club and Kingscli� Beach Club for the Central Park, which will serve as a community hub and strate-gic link between the beach and Kingscli� ’s central business dis-trict,’ he said.

A spokesman said council

did not currently have the funds to create the central park, how-ever, the project gained added momentum last week when it was incorporated into a list of projects for a regional develop-ment plan.

Barmah Forest virus warning currentResidents and visitors to the North Coast are being urged to protect themselves against mosquito bites after a sudden spike in cases of Barmah Forest virus in the Northern Rivers.

The North Coast Public Health Unit has warned of an expected seasonal increase in the risk of contracting mosquito-borne disease over the coming weeks and also over the Easter holiday break.

A spokesperson said both Ross River Virus and Barmah For-est Virus were common on the coast and the diseases caused by these viruses can result in painful or swollen joints, sore muscles, skin rashes, fever, fatigue, and headaches.

‘We have had 93 Barmah Forest Virus noti� cations so far this year which is 75 per cent above the � ve-year average for the same time period. Ross River Virus noti� cations are currently at 29, which is 59 per cent lower than the number of cases we would have expected by this stage of the season,’ the spokes-person said.

We know it’s traditional for new governments to shriek with hor-ror that they have found a budgetary ‘black hole’ in the books of their predecessors, but new premier Barry O’Farrell really went over the top with an imaginary $4.5 billion shortfall announced just two days after winning the election.

The ‘black hole’ � gure was achieved by doubling an already outdated forecast de� cit of $2.1 billion for 2013-14, which itself represented just two per cent of revenue, no more than a ‘round-ing error’ according to economists. The real story is that the government actually starts its term from a � nancially stronger position, with revenues projected to be $228 million higher over the rest of this � nancial year and in the 2012 year.

The ‘black hole’ version was spin-doctoring cooked up by Lib-eral Party innumerates and swallowed whole by the mainstream media on Tuesday. At the time you could discover the truth of the matter by checking out specialist news sites such as crikey.com.au, and the next day there was some back-pedalling in the major papers, but the intended impression had no doubt been made by then in the minds of voters: the incoming government has less money than it thought, so expect cuts in services.

Journalists defend this uncritical acceptance of political propaganda by referring to the ‘news cycle’. Everything happens so quickly these days that there is no time to check, no time to analyse if you are being fed genuine facts or bullshit. So the big Goebbels lie gets the front page treatment, and the follow-up correction, if it gets made at all, is relegated to a tiny space at the back.

In the Tweed the major parties are past masters of this tech-nique, along with the willing participation of the local daily. This time, as we showed last week, the Greens were the target and the trigger was the thoroughly dishonest letter from Catholic bish-ops, published two weeks ago but ‘discovered’ by the National Party just before polling day, allowing no opportunity for reply.

It gives this paper no pleasure to tell people not to trust the press, but the ‘black hole’ a� air shows a disturbing sign that the new state government will not be as closely scrutinised by the corporate media as the last one was.

M y mother used to have a homely saying for it: ‘Tell me who your

friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.’

If this adage is to be applied to the events of last week, it would appear that Tony Ab-bott is raving ratbag, a rant-ing bigot whose ignorance of science is matched only by his lack of manners.

� e howling mob who sur-rounded him at the mini-rally outside Parliament House last Wednesday undoubtedly in-cluded some who were genu-inely concerned about the im-pact a carbon tax might have on their household budgets and the wider economy, but the ones making the noise – includ-ing the majority of the speakers – came straight from la-la land.

If Abbott really believes that this manifestation of his peo-ple’s revolution represents a snapshot of middle Australia, he has a truly bizarre picture of the nation he seeks to lead. Not many middle Australians seek to spend a working-day morning paying to be bussed to Canberra for a campaign sup-ported by the shock-jock Chris Smith, a gibbering demagogue in the style of Alan Jones but without the couth.

And those who did would hardly have felt comfortable surrounded by the wild–eyed conspiracy-theorists of One Nation, � e League of Rights, and the self-appointed Con-sumers and Taxpayers Associa-tion, to name but three of the right-wing rent-a-crowds who leapt gratefully on board Chris Smith’s bandwagon.

As another homily has it, a man is known by the company he keeps.

Abbott must have seen that the gathering was pretty much out of control before making an appearance. To have done so at all was crazy-brave, but to have

done so with out taking the el-ementary precaution of moving the more o� ensive placards out of camera range was madness. A� er all, there is a precedent.

In 1970 Gough Whitlam as opposition leader was called out of parliament to address what was advertised as a rally against the Vietnam war.

Unfortunately not all the pro-testers were paci� sts; some were waving Viet Cong � ags, and an enterprising photographer from the Sydney Daily Telegraph set

up a shot which made it appear that Whitlam was speaking un-derneath them.

There were immediate and thunderous repercussions; the deputy Prime Minister of the day, John McEwen, declared in parliament that Whitlam should be charged with treason. Eventually other photographs were located which showed Whitlam had actually been no-where near the o� ending � ags, but a great deal of damage was done.

Abbott and his loyal sup-porters tried to get out of their predicament by saying that in objecting to being labelled ‘Juliar: Bob Brown’s Bitch’ the Prime Minister was just being precious; a� er all, John Howard had been called some mean and hurtful things too, on placards at rallies which had been ad-dressed by Labor ministers Greg Combet and Bill Shorten. True, but at those rallies neither Com-bet nor Shorten was presenting himself as the alternative prime minister. In fact neither was even in parliament; they were

simply trade union o� cials. And if Abbott could not see

the di� erence, a lot of his col-leagues were uncomfortably aware of it. Most, including his deputy Julie Bishop, his treasury spokesman Joe Hockey and of course Malcolm Turnbull, had declined the invitation to show themselves. In the end his prae-torian guard consisted of Eric Abetz, Barnaby Joyce, Bronwyn Bishop, Sophie Mirabella and Cory Bernardi – fringe dwellers all. In any situation it would not

have been a good look; at that rally with those placards it was a public relations disaster.

And the � nal irony is that Ab-bott didn’t even endear himself to the ralliers. Of course they cheered when he inveighed against the carbon tax, but there were gasps of horror, mutterings of discontent and even a few au-dible boos when he told them that the scienti� c evidence was that climate change was real, and at least partly man-made.

� is was not what they had heard from Alan Jones and Chris Smith; and it should not be forgotten that Abbott’s per-sonal religious adviser, Cardinal-Archbishop George Pell, was a fervent and vocal denier of cli-mate change. But here was Ab-bott, mouthing heresy – even blasphemy. Was their hero turn-ing, God forbid, rational?

� is, of course, is Abbott’s on-going political contradiction. He says he believes the science, but rejects the scienti� c solution. In-stead he proposes ‘direct action’, which is populist nonsense, and calls for a people’s revolution to

oppose the only e� ective meas-ure, a price on carbon.

But if the people believe the science, very few of them will join the revolution; for his shock troops, he has to rely on sceptics and denialists, who inevitably include large numbers of nut-ters. And there will be more ral-lies, perhaps bigger and better and noisier. Will Abbott contin-ue to address them? If he does he’s asking for trouble but if he doesn’t he risks being seen as a coward and a hypocrite.

� ere is an old political rule: never set up an inquiry unless you are certain of the result. Abbott should consider a cor-ollary: never call for a revolu-tion unless you can choose your own revolutionaries.

So the long-awaited ritual slaughter has taken place

in New South Wales, and the righteous bloodlust of the elec-torate has been assuaged, at least for the time being.

But there is more, much more, to be done if those who are really guilty are to be in-cluded in the purge.

� e surviving true believers must don protective clothing and make their way into the cesspool of Sussex Street with � amethrowers and � re hoses. Only when the poisonous blindworms who have master-minded the catastrophe have been utterly expunged can the party begin its long overdue task of renewal.

� e signs are not good; just about the only person to have emerged from the debacle with any honour or credibility, Kris-tina Kenneally, has e� ectively abandoned the front line. In these parlous times it will be hard to � nd anyone else with the courage or stamina to lead the attack. But unless the brutal work is done, New South Wales Labor’s malaise will remain be-yond human aid.

For his shock troops Abbott has to rely on sceptics and denialists, who inevitably include large numbers of nutters.

Camphor issuesThanks for the article about camphor clearing at Burring-bar. It is good that � e Echo publicises such a wide range of issues and discusses them in detail.

Camphor removal for ‘green’ energy is an impor-tant issue that has been over-looked by local conservation groups and needs to be ad-dressed. Council (sigh) needs to take a stronger stand to en-sure that such areas are better managed.

Camphor laurels for green energy is yet another exam-ple of how great sustainable initiatives are developed by community action and then grossly mismanaged by gov-ernment and industry in order for them to keep pursuing an industrial work ethic.

� e use of wood for elec-tricity is a technological backward step.  Humanity started burning coal in the 18th and 19th centuries as it was a more e� cient energy source than timber. In Tweed it seems that the economic and social ideologies of the 19th century are alive and strong. More water means more dams; more jobs means more land clearing and devel-opment, more energy means burning plants.

Maybe, just maybe, the cleared vegetation from any proposed dam site would end up at the co-generation plant to power it into the future, or perhaps they could use all the threatened species that council has removed from the road-sides! (� e � ail mower cut a swathe out of the endangered small leafed Tamarind Diplo-glottis campbellii site at Kelly’s road – o� Tyalgum Road – the other day).

■ I am a staunch rusted-on La-bor person. I believe in the core Labor principles of socialism and a ‘fair go’. Compassion to stand up for the poor and the weak and the dispossessed. So-cial justice and the rights of the working class against rampant capitalism.

� at is why I voted Green. � at is why I vote Green in lo-cal, state and federal elections and have done for over twenty years. I have remained true but Labor hasn’t. We have had a succession of prime ministers, premiers and local leaders who have donned the Labor robes simply because they are too lazy to form a party of their own, or � nd the Coali-tion ranks too closed. Mal-colm Turnbull had no trouble switching from Labor to Lib-eral – he knew in practice there was no existing ideological dif-ference between the two par-ties. His aim was the cult of leadership, the same as Hawke, Keating and Keneally.

Ms Keneally has gained ac-colades on her courage to � ght the election to the last sound bite. But she was merely work-ing on her CV. In doing so she added the � nal nails to the La-bor brand co� n in NSW. Nev-er mind, Ms Keneally belongs with capital and big business – and she knows it.

� at is why I voted Green – because I am a Labor person.

■ I am appalled by the vicious and misleading ad authorised by Murray Lees of Dulguigan.

The ad headlined ‘Greens party policies are dangerous’ appeared in a north coast newspaper on March 24 and misrepresented o� cial Greens party policies. The ad warns voters that the Greens have radical anti-family policies like cutting road safety programs.

Hello? � e Greens were the only party in NSW parliament (joined by some independents) to vote in favour of road safety by opposing the bad example of publicly-funded rally races.

� e Murray Lees ad includes an appeal to paranoid xeno-phobia with the equally false claim the Greens will open the floodgates to illegal im-migration. Really? Must be a well-kept secret rather than a Greens public policy.

So why have the National Party plotters let their attack dog off the leash? Do they think voters want to read such trash? Lees was forced to resign from the ruling group of the party in January 2010 follow-ing a string of drink-driving convictions but was allowed back in the fold as campaign manager in May the same year a� er a stint in rehab.

It seems to me that Mr Lees needs more time o� . � e Na-tional Party would do well to renounce his tactics. Tweed voters respect truth not smear.

■ I would like to congratulate Thomas George on winning the seat of Lismore in last week’s state election. � omas was always courteous and po-lite even as we argued over is-sues in Meet � e Candidates forums across the huge elec-torate.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the Greens supporters who helped our campaign.

However, I do not think Thomas George can claim a win in his so-called referen-dum on Byrrill Creek dam. � e polling booths of Kunghur and Uki are the closest to the pro-posed dam and therefore in-clude those most a� ected by it. Last Saturday, those two poll-ing booths voted overwhelm-ingly for the Greens not the Nationals. In Uki for instance, Greens received 45 per cent of the vote and ALP, who also opposed the dam, received al-most 13 per cent. Nats received 33.7 per cent. A similar result was received in Kunghur and again, a clear majority was given to the candidates who opposed the dam.

Thomas George cannot rightly claim it is a referendum on the dam when it includes voters from Goonellabah and as far away as Woodenbong and Bonalbo, who were not aware of the issues relat-ing to the Byrrill Creek dam proposal.

■ The statements attributed to ‘former Greens candidate Kevin McCready’ on page 4 of the Tweed Daily News (March 26) have no connection with the Tweed Greens. Mr Mc-Cready is not associated with the Tweed Greens, and no longer lives in the Tweed area.

I � nd it regrettable that TDN took the unusual step of pub-lishing these comments in a dedicated story on page 4 of the election edition. I � nd it more regrettable that the pa-per did so a� er Geo� Provest contacted TDN and drew their attention to those comments. I would like to assure readers that they do not represent the views of the Tweed Greens.

Greens policy in areas such as voluntary euthanasia and equitable access to a good education is rooted in values shared by Christians: compas-sion, equity and tolerance. I know many Christian mem-bers of the Greens.

If you have any queries about Greens policy and how it relates to your faith or your child’s education, we welcome you to ask us. We publish all our policies on our website at www.nsw.greens.org.au, and the Tweed Greens can be reached on 0459 360 394.

■ If the good bishops of NSW see it as their duty to speak up about ‘serious concerns of… human dignity’ at election time, perhaps they could also spotlight would-be PM Tony Abbott and his dubious moral credentials.

� e recent gathering on the lawn at Canberra showed the opposition leader at his char-acteristic dirtiest. Champion-ing the uneducated followers of junk science and shock ra-dio (ugly banners and all) is one thing but claiming them as ‘middle Australia’ is another. If this is middle Australia, then dear bishops, we need both your spoken intervention and your prayers.

Let us pray for more faith in Australia than that, as well as more faith in the Greens who above all other parties stand for a healthy and human environment.

New Byangum parkI am writing to address the concerns of some of the pub-lic regarding the establish-ment of a memorial park at Byangum.

A� er the unsafe order was place on the original Hat-ton’s Fig Tree at Byangum by Tweed Shire Council, the Uki and South Arm Historical So-ciety set about to ensure that the history surrounding the tree would be saved.

Our Society received over-whelming support from members of the Hatton fam-ily, descendants of original settlers and current residents, to persevere with preserving not only the � g (by collect-

ing seeds and taking cuttings) but bringing the history of Byangum to the public’s at-tention.

Mary Lee Connery and Penny Watsford from our Society approached Council sta� last year  with our ideas and now these plans are set to be realised.

The riverside park will commemorate what was one of the three major settlements on the Tweed River. These settlement/towns were Tum-bulgum, Kunghur and Byang-um, all of which were subdi-vided into lots. Byangum was vital to the growth of the area. Harry Hatton’s launch took cream to the butter factory, children to school and of-fered passenger services. � is was before roads were con-structed and Byangum was the head of navigation.  Logs were � oated down from vil-lages upstream to be loaded on sailing ships and taken to Sydney.

Our Society has an early map of Byangum, showing two parishes, which we would like to see reproduced on a sign at the park. This map, along with a list of the � rst, is part of the image we have for this memorial park.  A more desirable area will  evolve with the removal of rubbishy weeds which have got a foot-hold on the southern side of the bridge. � e park will link the old bridge with the new.

As the new sapling, grown

in the Tweed Shire Council nursery, flourishes people visiting the park will discov-er this important part of the Shire. Byangum – Gateway to the South Arm.

Detailed information can be readily and eagerly giv-en by historical societies at Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah and Uki and South Arm.

From the point of view of eco-logical sustainability, of the three legalised methods of toi-leting in Australia, compost-ing toilets are the preferred environmental response, with septic toilets second and cen-tralised infrastructure water closets (WCs) regarded as backward.

Centralised WCs use po-table water in this, one of the driest countries in the world, where there is concern for the damming of watercourses. � e WCs’ excessive demand for infrastructure such as pipes, pumping stations and treat-ment plants contributes to

greenhouse gas in their mak-ing, and thus unduly threaten the primary base of life – air. WCs are also engaged in the non-return of organic carbon to crop and grazing land. In short the WC threatens all three of the primary bases of life – air, water and soil. In a progressive society looking for environmental cure, rather than the denial and procrasti-nation currently taking place, WCs would be phased out.

� e Tweed Shire Echo’s report of the attempt to bring sewer-age to Mooball and Burringbar (March 17) is another example of Tweed Shire Council’s in-ability to come to terms with the environment. � e estimated cost of $70,000 per tenement for centralised sewerage is a gross overestimation of the cost required to use sewage respon-sibly in the 21st century. The reported ‘overflowing septics’ just require pumping out, or upgrading with sand � lters and/or reed beds as is state of the art sewage septic tank operation at this time. � e cost of upgrading to this would be less than a third of the estimated $70,000.

The cost of a stand-alone composting toilet built instead would be about one tenth of $70,000. � en there would be water saving as well as direct carbon return to the soil with the added advantage that fruit

frees could be grown around houses with ready-provided fertiliser to reduce food-mile footprints. For those who choose septic upgrading or composting toilets, TSC could foot the bill as a far cheaper alternative than centralised sewerage.

It is not as though we do not know the environmental path as far as sewage is con-cerned. Ribbon development, of which centralised sewage is a part, refuses to factor in the need for green belts that sup-ply farm produce in between urban centres. Eventually the cost of supplying food from long distances creates major ine� ciencies.

Graeme Taylor in Evolu-tion’s Edge summarises part of Joseph Tainter’s thesis in � e Collapse of Complex Societies: ‘Complex societies are vulner-able to collapse because of the economic law of diminishing returns; while they must ex-pand and develop more com-plex structures in order to ac-quire new resources, as they expand the costs of obtaining additional resources tends to rise. At the point where costs begin to outweigh bene� ts, the society becomes unsustain-able.’ � is can be seen also in terms of supply lines during war. During WWII Hitler lost the war in north Africa basi-

cally because his supply lines were overextended. In our so-ciety, visionless in regards to balancing the economic and the ecological, it is too tempt-ing to sell coastal land for ur-ban development, than to give much of it over to food supply which comparably only earns modest income. Peak oil and phosphorous are also inevita-bly increasing food costs.

Some people say ‘the greenies’ want to take us back to the caves. The collapse of complex societies leads to the cave! More exactly, after the collapse of the Roman Empire, what followed for Europe was centuries of the Dark Ages. What appears to be common among the descendants of col-lapsed civilisations is a general amnesia about the causes. One can understand it. A� er col-lapse, there is so much activ-ity surrounding survival that this is the major concern, and causes have little relevance. But we live blessedly at the time when we experience and gain knowledge – not belief or spec-ulation, but knowledge – of the causes of civilisation collapse.

You can see it clearly in the attempt to run centralised sew-erage to Mooball and Burring-bar at this late hour of environ-mental crisis.

Solar tendersIn reply to the letter ‘Why have local solar companies been snubbed by TSC?’ last week, Tweed Shire Council selected a partner for the Tweed Solar Community Program a� er 14 tenders were assessed against the criteria of capability, product, price and community donation. � e successful tender scored the highest and was awarded the tender.

� e Tweed Solar Commu-nity contract was for 200 in-stalls with an option to extend to 400 installs if demand was high enough. In total, this

is less than one per cent of properties in the Tweed Shire. To say that this number of installs has distorted the local solar market conveniently ig-nores the impact of the NSW feed-in tari� being reduced from $0.60 to $0.20.

Tweed Shire Council will continue to encourage local companies to submit tenders for their services; however, council can only assess sub-missions based on the ad-vertised assessment criteria.

Council is legally unable to provide preferential treat-ment to local suppliers.

Finally, can I add that Mr Welling needs to con� ne his criticisms to council policy and the legislation within which it operates and not tar-get council employees.

Please remember the follow-ing councillors when in � ve or ten years north coast koalas in Cobaki and southeast Queens-land are extinct: Cr Polglase, Cr Youngblutt, Cr Holdom, Cr Skinner and Cr van Lieshout.

At the March council meet-ing, they all voted against a koala management plan for Cobaki Lakes estates. Only Cr Milne and Cr Longland voted in favour.

On behalf of all Tweed koala lovers who were not present, I let four councillors know how ashamed they should be of themselves as they � led past me on their way to dinner.

Mayor Skinner (who vowed to protect this lovely envi-ronment) ignored me, as did Cr Polglase. Cr Youngblutt laughed. ‘� is isn’t about koa-las. It’s about getting rid of Co-baki. Grow up!’ Did he mean that only children care about koalas but not adults? Isn’t it against council’s Code of Con-duct to address residents disre-spectfully?

Why did Cr Holdom, who is on the Koala Advisory Board, vote against a koala manage-ment plan? She replied, ‘One day, Menkit, you and I are go-ing to have an intelligent chat’.

So we have one councillor who thinks it’s infantile to protect koalas and another who thinks it’s unintelligent

to protect koalas.A pity Cr van Lieshout didn’t

appear. She insisted that coun-cillors represent the people and don’t need community consul-tation on Cobaki. Yet the ma-jority of Tweed residents want koalas protected, so clearly councillors are not represent-ing voters at all.

Are councillors so afraid of being sued by the developer (Leda Holdings) that they won’t stand up to him? Or are they pro-development because it � lls council’s co� ers? Either way, no matter who you voted for at the elections, the real

people pulling the strings of councils and governments are the developers and corpora-tions.

What a pity Tweed council doesn’t have the cojones to stand up to these bullies!

� e world will go to the pits, koalas diving in � rst, followed by all our precious biodiver-sity, then us. Chief Seattle said, ‘� is we know. All things are connected. What befalls the animals befalls the sons of man’.

Bye bye, koalas. A sad day. Menkit Prince

SUPER HAPPYI recently attended the screening of The Economics of Happiness at the Byron Bay Film Festival and was impressed with the fi lm’s effort to educate all of us on the benefi ts of sustainable living. At the end of the fi lm, a Q & A session with the star of the documentary raised questions about what we can do to help our planet, fellow man/woman and our local businesses to avoid complete market domination by major global corporations. Most of us on the Northern Rivers appreciate the beauty of this region and are conscious about efforts to sustain it. But we can do much more!A powerful tool overlooked!There is one major area many overlook, however, when trying to do our best for the environment and communities. Its power can have fantastic effects and is yours to control–unfortunately many are not aware of how or where to start. Your money, your superannuation may be invested in companies that may not share your principals and ethics. For example, companies involved in manufacturing or sale of alcohol and tobacco, gambling facilities and equipment, uranium extraction, weapons, genetically modifi ed foods or those with poor human/animal rights history. You may not want to invest in such companies...but there’s a good chance you are...via your super!The reality is, you want to ‘do your bit’ but you still want healthy investment returns!See the below comparison between two Australian Share funds, one using a ‘Green Screen’.

Shifting, lilting, erupting and explodingWhen Deya Dova steps on stage the atmosphere shifts and tilts on end. Life erupts from within the crowd as this luminous and high-energy dance happening explodes. The sound of Deya Dova is undeniably tribal. Fusing an exotic mix of dance, world and electro. Think the Drummers of Burundi meet Trentemoller, mashed with a twist of Bjork and the radical vo-cal layering of someone refreshingly unique.

Hailing from the Nullarbor desert in South Oz, Deya’s take on music is wide screen. Known in the past to hammer guitars with a chopstick in a rock/acoustic intensity, explore the edges of ambient, global sounds and unabashedly experiment with developing her own vocal language, Deya Dova is an artist of � air and no fear. Now, as she synthesises past and present, her love for a solid dance vibe has been bought to the forefront and she emerges as one of the most creative and exciting singer/producers smack bang in the middle of her own genre – with Tijuana Cartel, Currumbin Soundlounge, Friday.

The Cartel from TijuanaIf Carlos Santana had been hanging out in Iraq for the last 10 years then he would have to sound something like the Gold Coast’s own Tijuana Cartel. Their performances are a concoc-tion of multi-layered grooves, splashes of Middle Eastern vocals, lilting Moby-esque soundscapes, Flamenco and slide guitar, trumpet, electronic world beats and live Latin Cuban percussion. A fusion of world music and phat electronic beats. Their musical energy and unrestrained delivery is thrilling audiences wherever they perform. Their tunes meander their way across the bumpiest musical terrain, a rhythmic body moved with stately deliberation creating inspiring and infec-tious rhythms that you just cannot help but dance to. It is a live show not to miss. Friday Currumbin Soundlounge.

Here are your 15 minutesThis month’s line-up features jazz with Marcus Nassner and Rudi Gerhardt. The Blackboard Acts for this session include Jessica Armour with sweet vocals, Isabella Cecere with her big show songs, David White with his great tenor love songs, Sean O’Hara with his wonderful folk sound, Charlee McConnell, a young, bright and stylish singer, along with well known local muso dad Bill McConnell. Tjis is a local talent live community variety show that has caught on and has a life of its own, with profes-

sional staging, great atmosphere and great food. Fifteen Minutes of Fame is on at the Stokers Siding Hall, Friday.

Rematch with Beccy and AdamBeccy Cole and Adam Harvey are two of the most recognised names in Australian country music and together are as much a comedy act as a musical one.  Now the hilarious duo are presenting a show aptly named The Rematch. After touring together in 2006 to rapturous applause and belly laughs coupled with both audience and critical acclaim, they’re back once again sharing the stage to challenge each other night after night. The Rematch tour travelled far and wide around Australia in 2010, so Beccy and Adam are again packing their bags and are hitting the road this year. Beccy Cole had an amazing year in 2010 with the release of her album Pre-Loved, and also landed the coveted job of co-host alongside 2UE’s Ray Hadley at this year’s 39th Jayco Country Music Awards of Australia. Adam Harvey had an equally successful year with the release of his album Best So Far, a collection of his favourite tracks spanning his lengthy ca-reer. Adam was nominated for two Golden Guitar awards (APRA Song of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year with The McClymonts), and also enjoyed a sold-out tour through NSW with good mate Troy Cassar-Daley. See The Rematch on Saturday at Twin Towns.

Fair Dinkum BohosSince late last century, Vasudha Harte has been forging a path as a talented, diverse singer-songwriter and poetess, playing the Byron Shire and beyond with her sultry vocals, pianistic prowess and natural, engaging stage presence.Around the same time, Jem Edwards spent six years playing free jazz piano in UK clubs and later became involved in the classic o� -beat African Hi Life Sound. When Fela Kuti was arrested carrying US$50,000 out of Nigeria and jailed for � ve years, members of his band remained in London and formed the band Blue with Jem on keyboards. While producing shows for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Jem created acoustic blues out� t Six O’Clock Shadow, ‘cutting heads’ with an array of formidable guitarists.Vasudha and Jem now combine their extensive musicality and get their mojo working with multiple instruments and styles, embellishing � nely crafted songs

with free improvisation. They � oat, � irt and rumble their way through songs and play exciting four-hander duets on the piano. Check them out in the lush and intimate setting of the Red Piano Bar at the Uki Cafe this Saturday night and look out for their evolving band Dinkum Bohos, set to tour the UK in the European summer. The Red Piano Bar at Uki on Saturday.

When you’ve got the Blues in your veinsBluesvein is the persona of two men: Marcus Makin on the keyboards with vocals, Ian Rowe brings vocals and guitar.Both of these musos have decades of

performance behind them. Rowe is working with Preston Train, a rock/funk/blues out� t and Caboose a rock covers trio. Makin has taken his deep gravelly voice on the solo path. He likes to blend the blues through his in� uences of jazz and classical. Last year the two formed Bluesvein and since then their audience apprecia-tion has been on the rise. See them on Sunday at the Sphinx Rock Cafe.

Seniors, let’s get together for World Health DayThis event, held in the privacy of the Currumbin RSL event room, is linked to World Health Day and Debbie

Smith from Healthy Inspirations at the Pines will be a guest speaker. She will be discussing health bene� ts for seniors. How to get out of bed with a spring in your step, how to keep your mind stimulated and have more strength and con� dence.

When I was a kid the only thing I knew of passwords was when Ali Baba said ‘open sesame’, loaded his donkey with loot and then made a rather low-speed getaway on his ambling ass. These days everything has a password. I have so many passwords that life is fast becoming unmanageable.

For phone banking I have a password, then I have a password to start my computer, and then another one to operate the internet. I have a password for logging onto the family assistance website. I have a password to log on to my Echo email. I have an eBay password. I have a Facebook password. A MySpace password. I have a password to start my phone, a password at the video shop and even a password to operate my washing machine. (Imagine if a complete stranger touched my top-loader!)

Passwords are supposed to safeguard our privacy. Passwords are supposed to be the cyber keys to accessing our information. But none of my passwords are ever the same. They are all di� erent. When I � rst had to give a password I was so taken with the novelty of it I chose something rude. Like ‘spottybum’. I didn’t think that these stupid passwords would grow to haunt me. How am I ever to remember them all?

I now have a book on passwords that I keep locked in a safe. Unfortunately the safe is secured by a password. I haven’t a clue. Passwords are getting more and more di� cult. Is it Mandy.Nolan or mandynolan or Mandy space Nolan or is it even Mandy Nolan at all? Every time I’m asked to give my password I experience a temporary spell of dementia. It’s blankout.

Suddenly for privacy reasons I can no longer access my own private information. I am locked out of myself. It’s the cyber version to returning home pissed from the pub and realising you’ve left your key in the house. At least a house is tangible and you can push the bin up to the side wall, climb up on top, then take your skirt o� so you can use your naked thighs to grip the downpipe as you inch your way towards the bathroom window.

When it comes to accessing information or services, there’s no bathroom window. Failure to remember passwords has created a whole industry of IT operators whose sole purpose it is to re-allocate passwords. What a great day that must be at the o� ce. It feels like we’re heading for an identity meltdown. In a few years from now we’ll be so inundated by passwords we’ll be begging for a computer chip to be inserted into our foreheads – irrefutable proof that we are who we say we are. Our computers will have a little red barcode blinger and every time we need to log on you just need to zap yourself.

You could combine the infra-red laser technology with IPL, have your barcode inserted in your pubic region so that every time you prove who you are you get a little electrolysis. Not only would you be properly identi� ed, you would also have a tidy little Brazilian.

The other handy thing about computer chips is that they provide automatic GPS. We can be tracked anywhere, anytime, by anybody. Great for managing dementing parents with the wanders and radical thinkers with wandering thoughts. It would also be extremely helpful in identifying the whereabouts of unfaithful partners, wayward children and Julian Assange.

But maybe I don’t want to be identi� ed all the time. It’s such an imposition on our right to privacy. I am tired of having to prove who I am on a daily basis to bunch of nameless dickheads on the telephone who constantly ask me to enter passwords to prove that I am Mandy Nolan so that I can operate the funds in my own fricking account. In days gone by all you needed to prove who you were and verify your family name and date of birth was your name written in the front of the family Bible. Imagine taking that to the bank. I am all for a revival of this sort of ID. Although we don’t have a Bible. Our names are written in the front of a Wilbur Smith book.

extraction. Normally considered an issue for rural groups but no longer, already 50 per cent of the Tweed is under gas exploration permits. Please come along for this award-winning � lm and guest speaker Libby Connors. Get informed. Join the debate. Lend your voice. Saturday, Robina Community Centre.

TheatreWho killed Lila Larswald? And…if she’s not dead…then who is?The Murwillumbah Theatre Company and Playwrights Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore pay tribute to Master of Horror Alfred Hitchcock in Wrong Window, which opens on Friday April1.In this comedy whodunit, laughter and mysteries collide in hom-age to the great man’s works such as Rear Window, Psycho, The Birds and The 39 Steps. O� -and-on New York couple Marnie and Je� enter an even more complicated phase of their relationship when they think they spy their cross-courtyard neighbour do away with his wife. After they draw their curtain, the lady van-ishes, and suspicion places murder beyond a shadow of a doubt. The bumbling witnesses sneak into their neighbour’s apartment – 39 steps away – and the fun begins. It is believed to be the very � rst time this production is being performed here in Australia.The venue for the show is the Murwillumbah Civic Centre and the play continues on Friday April 8 and 15, Saturday 2, 9 and 16 at 7.30 pm and Sunday April 10 at 2 pm. Enquiries: Rosemary 02 6672 1520.

Cinders and the AristocatsThe Tweed Theatre Company Inc is ready to present their latest program Cinderella Kids and Aristocats Kids. Cinderella Kids is the timeless fairy tale meets the magic of Disney in this adapta-tion of the treasured animated � lm. Poor Cinderella is endlessly mistreated by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, and denied a chance to go to the Royal Ball. With a little help from her mice friends, and a lot of help from her Fairy Godmother, Cinder-ella goes to the ball, meets the Prince, and falls in love.

Aristocats Kids tells the tale of a jealous butler, Edgar, who cat-naps Duchess and her Aristokittens and abandons them in the Parisian country-side. What’s a cat to do? Luckily, Thomas O’Malley and his rag-tag bunch of Alley Cats come to their rescue. This feline adventure is sure to get you tapping your feet to its hep, jazzy beat. The show is on at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre Saturdays and Sundays until April 17 and Wednesdays until April 13.

As midweek Mercury hits the fi rst of its annual three-week retrogrades,

the usual conditions apply: slow down, be clear, don’t assume, do check, save your docx, expect delays and be careful what you

commit to in print…

WITH LILITH

ARIES: Yes, Mercury retrograde can be aggravating and frustrating. But knowing this, the smart punter will relax instead of push, act from judgment rather than impulse, see the silver lining in setbacks and use these go-slow conditions to set up more e� ective operating strategies. TAURUS: While Venus in sympathetic Pisces smooths retro Mercury’s pricklier edges for Taureans, don’t expect immediate answers from this week. Though it will respond to what you do best: systematically addressing existential questions one by one till critical mass is reached and the puzzle falls into place. GEMINI: An exciting but potentially troublesome week as your ruling planet

Mercury hits the � rst of its three annual speed bumps. But you know the drill by now: be discreet about what you say, careful what you sign, don’t drunk dial and sleep on it before pressing Send.CANCER: Retro Mercury’s auspicious for introspection, which this week could reveal two things: That misunderstandings are more often a result of insu� cient information than malign intent. And to the three quarters of the world who aren’t water signs, your mood shifts can be very unsettling…LEO: Present planetary in� uences prompt you natural leaders to barge in, take charge and make sweeping changes, but in this combustible climate small things can detonate unexpectedly. To avoid � aming confrontations or

blazing rows, negotiate this week with your most tactful, delicate and subtle dance steps.VIRGO: If others take o� ence at your well meant suggestions this week, then listen to your own much more interesting inner voice instead. Which is telling you something like: Please don’t get locked into what worked once upon a time – � nd out what work bests right now… LIBRA: Grumpy, jumpy, touchy, toey, twitchy, edgy and moody… Not the seven dwarves – this week’s emotional picture. As your scales wobble between a� ection and irritation, retro Mercury initiates the old one step forward, two steps back routine. Regard all delays as blessings in disguise.

SCORPIO: If this week applies the brakes to something you’re particularly enthused about, take it back to the drawing board for � ne tuning. And if someone’s stubbornly refusing to negotiate, don’t let it be you. Good news? Mars/Venus magic is percolating in your private sector. SAGITTARIUS: If midweek Mercury delivers a chill pill to your current plans that’s not a bad thing – ambitious ideas need time to ripen and there’s still more information that hasn’t surfaced yet. Resist taking on unnecessary obligations and keep resetting your internal thermostat to cruise control.CAPRICORN: All work and no play makes a cranky Capricorn, and in my oracular opinion, goaty zen philosopher

Alan Watts had the best advice for this week: No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now…

AQUARIUS: This week could change your mind, hair style, address or career path, and if you’ve been bottling things up present planetary percolations could pop the cork. If others are bossy, use that as your cue to clarify what you want and what you’re not prepared to accept.

PISCES: Venus joins Mars and end of week Pisces moon to light a � re under the Fish tush. You’ll do your damnedest to avoid the hot seat but we all have to take our turn, so resign yourself to learning the lessons and writhe with style…

1. Even the presence of Lelee Sobieski and Al Pacino cannot save 88 Minutes from tedium setting in, not a good look in a thriller (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). A lot of modern movies would bene� t from being only 88 minutes long.2. A chap has to go back into his own past thanks to memory manipulation in the French sci� thriller Chrysalis (SBS2, Saturday, 9.30pm).3. Summer Glau proves she can pout and wield weapons in the sci� opera Serenity (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm), which has some good CGI and thankfully doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The French Chess Federation have banned their Olympic cap­tain and their gold medal winner after a cheating scandal which has rocked the chess world.

Teenage Grandmaster Seb­ast ian Feller was the star for the French team at the Khanty Mansiysk Chess Olympiad in October, helping France reach the dizzy heights of a tie for fifth place and winning an individual gold medal.

Sadly, Feller’s performance was the result of an elaborate cheat­ing scheme, uncovered late in the Olympiad by the Vice­President of the French Chess Federation (FFE), Joanna Pomian, who noticed dozens of SMS messages being sent between Feller’s team­mate Hauchard and a player in France, Cyril Marzolo, during the games. The messages were com­puter moves which were then conveyed to Feller by Hauchard’s walking to pre­arranged posi­tions in the playing hall.

In January the FFE publicly revealed the allegations against the Firebird Three. The impli­

cated players complained of a vendetta against them but, tell­ingly, their teammates in an open letter fully supported the FFE’s investigation.

Last week FFE announced the penalties: a five year ban for Marzolo, a three year ban plus two years community service for Feller and a lifetime ban as cap­tain – for club or country – for Hauchard.

Until now it had been assumed that most computer cheaters were weak players who were easily caught – though one top player, Veselin Topalov, has often been the subject of innuendo, without evidence.

So, post­Feller, what can be done?

A strict ban on mobile devices in a playing hall is likely to be enforced, as well as delayed trans­mission of games via the internet. Olympic captains may be ban­ished to the sidelines during play.

Yet the authorities are fighting a losing battle. Even if players were required to compete naked, some bright spark could have a chip inserted under his or her skin and receive advice by Morse code.

THE TWEED

Open the Door To Top Dollar Sales

� e front entrance, includ-ing the front door, the porch, and the windows nearby, are the gateway from the outside to the inside. Since there will be a moment while prospec-tive clients – or the real estate agent – knock on the door, or open it, there will be a mo-ment where they pause right in the entry, and will likely get a very close-up, very detailed impression of your home. � e entry is also an important fo-cal point when it comes to street appeal, so be certain that it’s in tip-top shape. � is is where the future owners, as well as all of their guests will enter their new home. It will be important to the eye and

to the heart. � e door itself must look sharp. If needed, a fresh coat of paint can make all the di� erence to a pleasant, inviting, and well-maintained home. Be certain that the

hardware – such as the door-knob, the latch, the hinges, etc – are all freshly painted or polished. It gives an extra level of overall attractiveness.

Other useful steps to im-prove the entryway include: a freshly painted/replaced mailbox, bright, functioning porch lights, a new (un-tat-tered) ‘welcome’ mat . If you have a doorbell, make sure that it is working, or remove it altogether. As with the front light, one of the things that can create the worst im-pression for your home is to have basic elements not functioning properly. This will make the prospective buyer wonder what else has not been your top priority for maintenance.

After the entrance im-provements have been made, have a look at the overall cleanliness. Check the walls and eaves, the windows, the gutters. Is the path clean and tidy? How about the stairs? Remember, your goal for

the best possible kerb appeal is a neat, clean, well main-tained atmosphere. Take care of these different factors to clean up the atmosphere of your home. All of these items can be easily performed in a

few hours, and they’ll make an enormous difference for selling your home.

Should you have any fur-ther tips on selling your home, please don’t hesitate to contact Peter Cradock at perter.cradock@raywhite.com.

� e campaign against Gunns’ proposed $2.5 billion pulp mill in Tasmania has gone up an-other gear a� er the federal gov-ernment ticked o� the project’s � nal permits this month. Hun-dreds of opponents protested last week including garden-ing personality Peter Cundall, who addressed the crowd on the banks of the Tamar River downstream from the planned mill site. Tasmanian Greens MP Kim Booth told the crowd the Greens ‘and the people of Tasmania will never ever ac-cept that mill being imposed on the Tamar Valley. We will stand up, we will march against it, there will be no mill’. Anti-pulp mill activists have prom-ised a campaign bigger than that against the Franklin Dam in the 1980s.

Controversy has embroiled the state’s Land and Property Man-agement Authority (LPMA) af-ter buying a contentious block at Pittwater in Sydney back from a developer, to turn into a park. � e LPMA is behind a few controversial development proposals on Crown land in the Tweed, including the 200-unit caravan park south of Norries Headland and the Lot 490 site at Kingscliff. Hastings Point residents however are mi� ed at how the state government can ‘suddenly � nd’ over $12 million to buy the historic Currawong site at Pittwater when the locals here had been told the state couldn’t � nd a fraction of that to buy back the contentious Lot 156 Creek Street development at Hastings Point which they say was ‘stolen’ from the Crown (the people) in the � rst place. � e residents say it’s crazy how the Tweed ‘leads the way’ in trying to develop Crown re-serves ‘when common sense is screaming no’. � e LPMA’s chief executive Warwick Wat-kins has been referred to the corruption watchdog ICAC over the $12 million land deal which they say involved a de-veloper with links to senior

ministers. An investigation has been ordered by the premier’s department over Watkins’s role in the last-minute purchase by the government of the historic site from the developer.

Tweed Heads’ Walk of Fame may soon be getting the atten-tion its founder Alan Black has long craved – but not in the form he might have anticipat-ed. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Mr Black is threatening legal action against a rival walk of fame recently established at Randwick in Sydney to honour Aussie � lm legends, claiming it breached copyright. The dispute has now come to the attention of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, whose head of contracts and trade licensing, Erica Te Slaa, has warned that the Tweed Walk of Fame might itself be in breach of trademark. Mr Black has been negotiating to shi� the walk of fame which he established outside the Twin

Towns RSL in 2005 to Sydney because ‘no-one takes it seri-ously’ in Tweed shire. � e col-ourful property developer is also well remembered for a jibe to tenants of a shopping cen-tre on Kennedy Drive which he was trying to redevelop some years back. He emailed the nursery owners � ghting to retain a shrubbery and � ower display on land there, telling them he’d ‘make a mockery of your rockery’. Seems like he not only talks the talk but walks the walk.

As Backburner reported last week, the big winner of Tweed Shire Council’s festival fund-ing largesse has been the Cooly Rocks On festival which will re-ceive $10,000. � e money has been earmarked for an event at Jack Evans Boat Harbour that will be run in conjunc-tion with Cooly Rocks On. � e Cooly event replaces Winter-sun which has upped stumps and moved to Port Macquarie.

Council chief executive o� cer Mike Rayner explained that the $10,000 had previously gone to Wintersun and in fact the council had an agreement with Wintersun to guarantee  the grant money for three to � ve years.  He said the spin-o� for Tweed business was signi� cant, especially in the hospitality and accommodation sectors. Cr Joan van Lieshout said while she was not too impressed with the ‘Cooly’ tag she was con-� dent it would bring a lot of business to the Tweed. She said Wintersun’s move to Port Mac-quarie may not be a success as Coolangatta was the key to its popularity and it might just return to where it belongs. Cr Dot Holdom felt $10,000 was a bit over the top for a new ven-ture and said $5,000 would be fairer. But Cr Phil Youngblutt said the council had to be sup-portive as business was doing it tough. � e $10,000 grant got up 5-2 with Crs Holdom and Katie Milne voting against.

Shu and Yuko Sato, owners of the popular Sushi Mur-bah restaurant in Wollumbin Street, Mur-willumbah, said they were heartened by the response and concern of locals to the devastating earthquake and tsunami which hit their homeland Japan last month. Shu, whose parents live in Sendai, the largest city damaged in the disaster, told The Echo the tsunami waves came within three kilometres of his parents’ house and all communication was cut for several days, so they could not con� rm for some time whether they had survived. It was a very nerve-racking time for the young couple but eventually Yuko’s parents sent a text message saying they’d received word that Shu’s parents were safe. Photo Je� Dawson
