A move to create extra tree preservation areas for koala habitat to protect the Tweed’s dwin-dling koala population has been described as a major step forward in the protection of the iconic animal.

Tweed councillors unanimously agreed last week to adopt council’s Tweed Coast Koala Habitat Study as an interim measure to protect the area’s koala population, which some cam-paigners fear face extinction.

As an immediate measure recommended by the study, councillors agreed to create a tree preservation order (TPO) for 1,870 hectares of vital koala habitat not covered by earlier TPOs council adopted in 1990 and 2004.

A council spokesman said the new protected area brings the total koala habitat area covered to 9,760 hectares and landholders need consent to clear vegetation in those areas.

� e order will also cover any koala food trees (swamp mahogany, forest red-gum, tallowwood and grey gum) that are more than three metres tall within a � ve-kilometre strip along the full length of the Tweed coastline.

� e study de� nes the Tweed Coast’s current koala population and maps its remaining habi-tat as well as key threats and identi� es suitable sites for habitat restoration. It also outlines mea-sures needed to preserve the remaining popula-tions, believed to number only around 144.

Council’s biodiversity program leader, Dr Mark Kingston, said with that number already below the minimum viable population size of 170 individuals, the koala’s current status would justify its nomination as an ‘endangered’ popu-lation.

Team Koala campaign founder Jenny Hayes praised the study as a ‘fantastic step towards protecting the endangered population’.

‘Now we are dealing with statistics and facts. We were speculating that koala numbers were diminishing at a rapid rate and now we have facts,’ said Ms Hayes, a member of the Tweed Coast Koala Advisory Group which is made up of council and community members.

‘� e immediate protection provided by this new tree preservation order is incredibly im-portant,’ she said, adding also that the unani-mous agreement by councillors was ‘extremely heartening’.

� e study was prepared by Biolink Ecological Consultants with help from the advisory group and is the � rst of two stages for a � nal and comprehensive Koala Plan of Management for the Tweed Coast, which councillors also agreed to proceed with.

Dr Kingston said this plan of management would provide the vital steps to curb and reverse the koala population’s rapid decline.

Friends of the Koala president and advisory group member Lorraine Vass also welcomed the TPO, saying ‘we’re pleased the penny has � nally dropped and the dire situation of the coast’s remaining koalas is at last understood and accepted by Council’.

‘Local extinction is a real possibility. When the consultant proposes the current status would likely meet the criteria for listing as an endangered population, there can be no doubt,’ Mrs Vass said.

� e study is available at the shire’s three pub-lic libraries in Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Kingscli� as well as online on council’s website (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au) by clicking on ‘Your Environment’ on the top of the page, then ‘Fauna and Flora Management’ then ‘Koala Management’.

The Tweed Shire Council is ‘shovel-ready’ to get cracking on the long-matured Kingscli� Foreshore masterplan – all it is waiting for now is the green light from the state govern-ment to start its sand replen-ishment program.

‘We’re ready to go and shovel ready, it’s now down to the state government,’ declared mayor Kevin Skinner last week.

The masterplan has been percolating away since 2000 when the council engaged con-sultants to develop the coast-line hazard de� nition study.

Central to the masterplan is a sand nourishment program to make the Kingscli� Central Park a reality.

Engineers plan pumping sand from the Tweed River south of the Boyds Bay Bridge.

This requires a state gov-ernment extractive licence on which royalties would normal-ly be paid to the Crown.

Late last year the council sought a waiver of the royalties and also sought help in footing the $6 million bill for the sand nourishment program.

So far there’s been no re-sponse from the government.

Cr Joan van Lieshout quipped that they get their sand from Kirra.

Centrepiece of the master-

plan is the Kingscli� Central Park on the site of the King-scli� Beach holiday Park.

� e council agreed last week to place the concept plan on public exhibition because of the wide public interest.

Sand nourishmentFeatures of the plan include

an underground pile wall in front of the Cudgen Headland SLSC, which has already been built, and a massive sand nour-ishment program to o� set the e� ects of erosion.

A boardwalk will run the length of the beach protection area from north of the King-scliff Beach club to south of

the Cudgen Headland SLSC. � e boardwalk will be acces-sible by wheelchair and bicycle, and will provide access to the beach.

Kingscliff was chosen in 2006 as the first area for a foreshore masterplan due to the soaring level of property development.

� e masterplan provides a staged program of works to be carried out as funds become available.

A council report said there had been significant erosion since 2009 of the southern section of the beach from the north training wall of Cudgen Creek to the Cudgen Headland

SLSC. About 500 metres of vegetated dune up to 60 metres wide had been lost. � is was due to the loss of o� shore sand, rather than storm activity.

Sand lost from dunes‘� is meant the beach tried

to level itself out by pulling sand from the dunal system,’ the report said.

‘� e foreshore erosion will continue until there is enough sand moving into the o� shore de� cit area.’

� e area near the Cudgen Creek appeared to have stabi-lised but the beach pro� le was steeper further north and ero-sion was continuing.

Central park planned for Kingscli�

the past six months.‘This offers teenage boys

something outside of team sport, and being a male coach I felt there was a void there for that age group.

‘They learn to tumble, flip and fly. The training teaches the skills of Parkour, the urban sport of overcoming obstacles with maximum speed and ef-ficiency. What that means is leaping, vaulting and climbing objects with acrobatic ease and grace.

‘Combine this with train-ing in mini tramp aerials and

it makes for an adrenalin-pumping set of skills. Fitness, strength, focus, determination and a good dose of guts come together for acrobatic moves that see teenagers literally � y-ing through the air.

‘Xtreme Teen is a safe place to learn and develop the tricks   teenagers discover through YouTube. � e sessions build self-esteem and are non-competitive, encouraging boys of all skill levels to achieve their best while having fun.’

At last year’s Ukitopia Festi-val, the Xtreme Teen demon-

stration crew wowed the large crowd with their highpowered mini tramp act.

Hamilton, who trained in acrobatics at Circus Oz learn-ing his skills from a Chinese acrobat, says he wanted to nurture the natural interest teenage boys have in ‘busting extreme moves’ while teaching them how to do it safely.

He said the program has also been opened up to nearly teens for boys ages 10-12 years. To check it out visit www.youtube.com/xtremeteen1 or call Ham-ilton on 0439 021 233.

A long battle by dirt trail-bike riders to find a permanent home in the Tweed has tak-en a step closer to resolution with the Tweed Shire Council opening negotiations with the Canegrowers Association over a site off Eviron Road near Condong.

The site is owned by the council’s waste fund and is currently the scene of a quarry operation.

Part of the site has been used in a cane growing share farmer arrangement for the

past 10 years.Cr Warren Polglase said it

was high time something was done for bike riders.

‘� ey’ve been hunted from place to place for 10 years,’ he said.

‘We should be prepared to provide a facility where boys and girls can enjoy their sport which is well monitored by the motor bike association.’

The council voted 4-3 to press ahead with the nego-tiations with the canegrowers despite objections from Crs Barry Longland, Joan van Lieshout and Katie Milne.

Cr Longland said he was concerned about the proxim-ity of the track to the cem-etery and wondered if the noise would impose on local families.

A move three-and-a-half years ago for a dirt trail bike track on nearby bushland, which was also close the Tweed Valley Lawn Ceme-tery, was quashed by the then council administrators after receiving complaints from neighbours.

They claimed the noise would disturb mourners and cemetery visitors.

Tough new restrictions on building on the Tweed’s dress circle coastal strip have been � agged to cope with the threat of rising sea levels.

Planning sta� have tabled a ra� of new regulations a� ect-ing any development in coastal hazard zones.

The hazard zones identi-� ed by the University of New South Wales’s Water Research Laboratory (WRL) cut a swathe through million-dollar proper-ties at Fingal, Casuarina, King-scli� and Cabarita.

� e council last September deferred recognising the haz-ard zones until the planners had formulated a development con-trol plan for fear of its e� ects on local property values.

Former mayor Warren Pol-glase warned their adoption had the potential of wiping tens

of thousands of dollars o� the value of the shire’s most valu-able beachfront properties.

He said the matter should be deferred till the DCPs had been dra� ed so property own-ers knew what they could do in their own back yards.

� e hazard zone DCPs went on public exhibition last week for a period of 60 days a� er the council unanimously endorsed the concept layout for public exhibition.

The DCP recognises three distinct zones – the immedi-ate hazard zone, the year 2050 hazard zone and the year 2100 hazard zone.

WRL scientists estimated sea levels will rise four centimetres over the next 40 years and by nine centimetres by 2100.

� ree hazard lines have been drawn down the length of the Tweed Coast – the immediate hazard line on the seaward side

with the 2050 and 2100 hazard lines on the landward.

All building will be banned within the immediate hazard zone. Existing buildings will not be allowed to carry out major renovations. Only minor works are permitted and these must be capable of swi� removal or demolition if the seas threaten.

The planned retreat of any existing buildings is recom-mended.

No development will be al-lowed if it results in people permanently living or work-ing within the zone unless that work is undertaken on a short-term or intermittent basis.

All developments would be subject to a coastal risk man-agement report. Open car parks and car ports would be counte-nanced but not enclosed garag-es. � e DCP makes allowances for surf clubs, marine rescue bases and picnic tables.

In the 2050 hazard zone all development will be subject to a coastal risk management report. No building will be al-lowed within 20 metres of the current erosion escarpment and must be at least six metres back from the 2050 hazard line.

Owners must be prepared to demolish or relocate buildings should the erosion escarpment encroach.

In the 2100 hazard zone all developments will also be sub-ject to a coastal risk manage-ment report. No subdivisions will be permitted if they en-croach on the 2100 hazard line.

Planners urge a cautious ap-proach to all development in this zone stressing consider-ation be given to minimising environmental degradation.

Last year council natural re-sources manager David Oxen-ham urged the council to adopt the zone without delay.

� e old Fingal Head boathar-bour, one of the many popular riverside parks along the Tweed River, has had a big spruce up thanks to a $450,000 upgrade which was o� cially opened last Friday.

The popular family picnic area now has new play equip-ment, an all-access toilet block, barbecues and shaded seating and a sealed carpark.

An arching concrete path-way built along the natural line of the old harbour toward the river allows for ‘stunning panoramic views’ according to council landscape architect Ian Bentley

The work, jointly funded by Tweed Shire Council and a $150,000 federal government grant under its regional infra-structure program, was de-clared open by Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner and the Rich-mond MP, Justine Elliot.

Cr Skinner said the old in-frastructure at the park had passed its use-by date and the faceli� would make the popu-lar and attractive family desti-nation with its safe swimming even more popular.

� e mayor also praised the e� orts of students from Fin-gal Head Public School who helped brighten up the park by painting the bollards around the play equipment which in-cludes a mosaic they designed at the entrance.

The new playground fea-

tures a swing, sand digger and climbing structure with natural features includ-ing large climbable rocks, a timber bridge with musical chimes, stepping pads and grass mounds.

� e harbour refurbishment follows similar council pro-

jects at Kingscli� ’s Jack Bayliss Park and Pottsville’s Ambrose Brown Park.

Justine Elliot, who lives in the coastal village, said her children, aged 12 and 10, regu-larly played in the old park and were ‘absolutely amazed’ by its transformation.

Allira Smiley is like many typi-cal teenagers – she is looking forward to studying at univer-sity and is keen to go back-packing in Europe.

But the so� -spoken 16-year-old Bilinga resident who un-derwent a liver transplant last year has had to overcome more than most to get where she is today.

Last year Allira was admitted to hospital a� er complaining of headaches and feeling gener-ally unwell.

Her condition rapidly deteri-orated and she was transferred from Tweed Hospital to Bris-bane’s Princess Alexandra Hos-pital where she was diagnosed with Wilson’s Disease – a her-ed itary disorder that causes the body to retain too much cop-per, causing liver failure.

At the time, her condition was so critical that she would have died within 24 hours if a suitable donor had not been found.

‘I don’t remember a lot about it,’ she said.

‘I was really scared. I just wanted to go home.’

Allira spoke about her ex-perience this week as part of Organ Donation Week, which aims to promote awareness around organ and tissue do-nation.

Area director of organ dona-tion for the North Coast, Dr Michael Lindley-Jones, says for every organ donor, ten people will bene� t.

He says while the message is

getting out, many organ dona-tions do not go ahead as family members are not aware of their loved one’s wishes.

‘We know that 90 per cent of people in the community support organ donation, but when it comes to giving con-sent only about 50 per cent will go ahead,’ he said.

Talk with next of kinHe encourages people to talk

about their wishes in relation to organ donation with their next of kin.

Despite the o� en tragic cir-cumstances of organ donation, Dr Lindley-Jones says many families took comfort from the positives that came out of the decision.

‘Universally, it is a positive thing to come out of a very aw-ful time in their life,’ he said.

Allira spent three months in Brisbane during her difficult recovery process.

Despite also missing six months of school, the grade 12 student at Palm Beach Cur-rumbin High School is deter-mined to catch up and is hop-ing to study forensic science.

As a result of her condition she will remain on medication for the rest of her life and is not allowed to drink alcohol or play contact sports.

But Allira knows that she is one of the lucky ones because doctors found a liver in time to save her life.

‘It’s de� nitely made me feel

very lucky that I’m alive,’ she said.

In 2010, 309 Australians do-nated organs, bene� ting some 931 transplant recipients.

Low donor rateOn the world scale, Australia

rates low for organ and tissue donation. In 2010, the Austra-lian population had 13.8 donors per million compared with an average of 20 to 35 donors per million in Europe and the US.

  For further information on organ donation, please visit www.donatelife.gov.au or to record your decision to donate go to www.donorregister.gov.au or call 1800 777 203 or pick up a brochure at  any Medicare o� ce.

A multi-storey residential block aimed at Tweed Heads’ university student market has been given the green light by Tweed Shire Council, despite Southern Cross University an-nouncing plans to shut down its Tweed Heads campus on council-owned land.

The university announced early last week that it plans to shut down its Tweed campuses at the Tweed Heads Civic Cen-tre and in Caloola Drive by 2013 when its beachside cam-pus next to Coolangatta airport becomes the hub of its Tweed/Gold Coast operation.

Building approvedBut on Tuesday council

approved the building of the six-storey building nearby in Boyd Street, Tweed Heads, providing 50 one-bedroom units in the upper � oors and commercial space and a com-mon community space on the ground � oor.

A council report said the de-veloper hoped to market build-ing to the nearby Southern

Cross University as a� ordable accommodation.

Three objections were lodged with the main issue being shortage of parking in Boyd Street. But council plan-ners said the provision of two basement-level carparks with provision for 75 cars had ad-dressed the problem.

The site was described as being centrally located for shops, clubs, beaches, sport-ing facilities and transport so was considered suitable for the proposed development.

Meanwhile, Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner has suggested the building currently hous-ing the SCU at Tweed Heads should be sold o� and that the nearby Tweed Hospital may be interested in expanding there.

� e university’s Tweed-Gold Coast campus administrator Mary-Anne Clark told media the organisation plans to move all its Tweed classes to Bilinga within two years.

Ms Clark said a new ten- storey health and human sci-ences and education building was planned by SCU for the airport campus.

Southern Cross University student Cara Bartlett shows new students Zhang Jing (Sam) and Zhang Zhouyi (Zoe) the ropes at the � rst day of orientation at SCU. Both students have just relocated to the Tweed from Shanghai to study for their Bach-elor of Business Administration at SCU’s Bilinga campus.

The Gillard Government will rebuild after the floods

In hard times, Australians pull together

RebuildingThe cost to fix essential infrastructure such as roads, bridges, ports and railway lines is going to run into the billions of dollars.

That’s why a flood levy is needed – to support the massive rebuilding effort and get flood ravaged communities back on their feet.

Australians have recently witnessed some of the most destructive and devastating forces of nature. As a result, the rebuilding of flood-affected regions across Australia is going to be an immense national challenge. The Gillard Government will rebuild those affected communities and regions.

Two prominent opponents of the controversial world rally run in the Tweed-Kyogle shires in 2009 say they will appeal their conviction on gra� ti o� ences a� er a magistrate in Byron Bay Court found a malicious dam-age charge against them proved and � ned them $400 each.

Scott Sledge and Danielle Voinot, of Lillian Rock, were found guilty last Friday of hav-ing painted anti-rally slogans on a road barrier on Kyogle Road on the night of Septem-ber 2, 2009, before the three-day event was to be run through the Tweed Valley.

Outside the court, the cou-ple said they were disappointed and considering an appeal. Yes-terday they said the No Rally Group, of which Mr Sledge was a former president, had unani-mously voted to back their ap-peal and raise funds for any further legal battle.

Lengthy caseIn summing up the lengthy

case, magistrate Michael Dakin said he was satis� ed the pair, aged in their early sixties, car-ried out the gra� ti at a site near bridgeworks where their car had been seen on the night by a nearby local, but that the evi-dence did not prove they were responsible for all the graf-

� ti painted that night along a 30-kilometre stretch of the road.

Mr Dakin accepted defence lawyer John Weller’s submission that the prosecution case relied on circumstantial evidence in that no forensic evidence linked a paint roller, headlamp, paint tins and a set of gloves items found at the scene to the ac-cused, but said evidence from police who interviewed the couple the day a� er the road-way was painted and a witness who saw the couple’s car at the scene of some of the road paint-ing was ‘overwhelming’.

Police had told the court that at the couple’s house the fol-lowing day, they found items similar to those picked up by the local resident at the scene of some of the gra� ti and had also seen white paint smudges on their car’s door and on a seat.

� e couple had earlier told the court they had been paint-ing anti-rally slogans on ban-ners and placards in Kingscli� that day and paint had smeared over their car and clothes. � ey said they had stopped to change drivers near some fresh gra� ti on Kyogle Road on the night

and a local resident returning home saw their car. � e resident had noticed a ‘No Rally’ sticker on the vehicle and called police suspecting they had painted the gra� ti.

In his summing up, Mr Dak-in said the evidence was cir-cumstantial but found it ‘hard to accept’ why the couple had returned to the scene some time a� er being confronted by the resident near the bridgeworks who they had found ‘menac-ing’ and intimidating when he initially approached them in his four-wheel-drive vehicle on the night.

‘Gra� ti war’Mr Dakin said there was ‘no

doubt’ it was to retrieve a paint roller, gloves and headlamp le� at the scene which the resident said he found there. � e couple had earlier told the court they had returned to the scene to see if the occupants of the four-wheel-drive vehicle had been involved in a long-running ‘gra� ti war’ between anti-rally and pro-rally people and said they saw a man painting over slogans on the road barrier.

Mr Dakin said the couple’s ‘passion for a cause’ was not a mitigating factor and he did not accept they were acting on be-half of the majority as the rally was an issue for elected repre-sentatives.

He said the pair was entitled to protest but that having ‘mis-guided views’ they were repre-senting the majority was bound to ‘clash with the criminal jus-tice system’.

Mr Dakin said he took into account the previous good character of the couple and their age and the ‘passion’ with which they pursued their views and that it was an isolated in-cident.

Mr Sledge said outside the court that he did not condone gra� ti ‘but I understand that some residents along the rally routes who had strong feelings about the way the event was forced on them’.

Protest ‘blackboard’Some of those opposed to

the rally, he said, had ‘used the roadway as a blackboard to ex-press their disapproval because an out-of-touch state govern-ment simply was not listening’.

Mr Sledge said the No Rally Group saw the ‘conviction on the basis of political activism as setting a dangerous precedent’.

‘� ere was no hard evidence, just circumstantial… the com-munity expects a higher stand-ard of proof,’ he said.

He said police had taken no action against reported inci-dents of hooning and breach of road rules by rally drivers and supporters.

� e rally, he said, was eventu-ally moved to Coffs Harbour because of widespread oppo-sition to it and many people had been upset the state gov-ernment had forced it onto the community, abrogating 12 ex-isting laws.

A complaint has been lodged with Tweed Shire Council over its plan to launch this year’s Seniors Week at a private facil-ity run by a councillor.

Noble Lakeside Park resi-dent Roma Newton lodged the complaint this week with council’s probity officer Neil Baldwin, saying the residen-tial park she lives in, run by Cr Warren Polglase, was a private and not a public facility.

The official launch of the council-sponsored event will be held at the park on March 20.

Ms Newton said that as a senior citizen herself, she did not object to the event but that permission for council to use the park was given by the residents’ social commit-teee instead of its home-owner committee.

She suggested there was con-� ict of interest with Cr Polglase as manager of the park and the fact council was involved in a court appeal over a proposed expansion of the park.

Staging the two-hour launch there could be seen to ‘enhance the pro� le’ of the councillor and developer in its bid to expand.

In her complaint, Ms New-ton said she supported coun-cil’s recognition of seniors but ‘surely it should not include disruption to the lives of elder-ly and increasingly frail sen-iors, especially on their own private home ground.

‘It would appear the so-cial club has acted outside its charter.  � e residents of this park pay for the use of park facilities. � e social club is not a resident owner of the park and does not pay for the use of the facilities o� ered.  Only the

home-owning residents pay for the use of these facilities.

‘The park has a residents’ committee which is the only body officially authorised by the Consumer Traders and Tenancy Tribunal to make de-cisions a� ecting the residents of this community, and then only a� er consulting with the residents at an internal public meeting.

‘It is surprising any responsi-ble organisation would accept an o� er to use any premises without requiring confirma-tion that the offerer had the authority and the right to make those premises available.

‘Nor does the social club, as an entity, have the right to re-strict admittance to this park’s facility to 100 residents on any occasion. All 400 have equal admittance rights. Yet this re-striction is being imposed on us.’

Seniors launch ‘not approved by owners’

The Gillard Government will rebuild after the floods

In hard times, Australians pull together

Why is a levy necessary?A lot of Australians have supported individuals during the flood crisis through generous donations. These will help fellow Australians get their flood affected homes and lives back in order.But billions of dollars are still needed to fix vital infrastructure such as roads and bridges damaged by the floods and storms.The Commonwealth will meet two-thirds of these repair costs through budget cuts. The other third will be covered through the modest and temporary levy.

Low-income earners will not pay the levy. The levy only applies to income above $50,000

The levy will not apply to victims of the floods. People in flood affected areas who meet the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment criteria this financial year will be exempt from the levy

60% of taxpayers will pay less than $1 a week

People earning $80,000 for example will only pay $2.88 a week - less than a cup of coffee

The levy will only apply for the 2011-2012 financial year

Every cent raised through the levy will go directly to flood affected regions across Australia to repair critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges and rail.

S o, shrill the triumphalists of the conservative press, multiculturalism is dead.

It has proved to be a complete disaster.

We know this because we have it from no lesser authori-ties than the prime ministers of both Great Britain and Germany. David Cameron claims that multiculturalism promotes division rather than unity; Angela Merkel asserts that it has utterly failed. What else is there to say?

Well, just one thing, and Mal-colm Fraser has dared to say it: they don’t know what they are talking about, because neither of their countries has ever had a policy of multiculturalism.

What they have had is immi-gration programs – or perhaps the lack of them – which have collapsed in a heap of unin-tended consequences and so-cial unrest, because no one ever tried to make them balanced and inclusive.

In Germany’s case, the trou-ble was the so-called guest worker scheme: cheap labour was imported from countries such as Turkey. No attempt was made to integrate the newcom-ers, who were never meant to stay for long anyway; but the economy could not do without them, and they formed ghet-toes which became the breed-ing ground for resentment and discontent.

In England the problem arose from the end of the empire; Har-old MacMillan’s winds of change drove many thousands to seek refuge in what they had been told was their home country. In particular Asians � ed from the newly independent coun-tries in Africa, and the � oods arrived before the doors could be closed. Now, of course, not even Australians are welcome; but those who made it cannot be deported. Once again, it was

totally unplanned and there was no policy to deal with it.

So just what is multicultural-ism? The Tory pundits shake their beetled brows and say it is all too di� cult, too complex to explain. But in fact it’s so simple you can set it to music:

We are one, but we are many, And from all the lands of

earth we come; We share a dream and sing

with one voice: You are, I am, we are

Australian.

Or, as the Americans put it even more concisely in the mot-to on their great seal: E Pluribus Unum – out of many, one. � e two definitions are especially pertinent because they come from the only two countries ever to have consciously embarked on a policy of multiculturalism and the two which most vigor-ously defend its outcome.

Both were the result of war. After the first world war the United States opened its doors to the homeless and tempest-tossed of Europe and the new world became the great melting pot. The immigrants did not shed their identities – rather they gloried in them. Genera-tions later many still describe themselves as Polish Americans or Italian Americans, but they are all, unarguably, Americans.

The noble experiment had its setbacks: a complicating fac-tor was the presence of a large number of African Americans, involuntary immigrants who were for a long time denied their rightful place. Indigenous Aus-

tralians, of course, were even more marginalised but being less noticeable could have their problems ignored for longer. But although these issues were important, they did not impede the great march forward.

America was the � ag bearer, and a� er the second world war Australia followed suit. Un-til then, migration had been predominantly British with a trickle of other mainly north-ern Europeans. The post-war reconstruction scheme broad-

ened the intake to include large numbers of southern Euro-peans, and ventured into the Middle East. It took another 20 years before the White Australia Policy was e� ectively killed o� and multiculturalism o� cially enshrined as a word and as a law, but in fact the concept had been developing for far longer.

As Immigration Minister Chris Bowen pointed out last week, there is a peculiar ge-nius in the Australian version of multiculturalism and its ties to nation building and citizen-ship. It is more than an idea whose time has come; it is an inescapable fact of life, and one of which Australia should be hugely proud.

Of course from time to time there are hiccups; the boat people have constituted one, just as the far greater in� ux of Mexicans has produced rumblings in the Unit-ed States. But there is no reason to believe that these setbacks will be any more severe than others have been in the past – unless, of course, they are exploited by

unscrupulous and opportunist politicians for their own cynical advantage. Which brings us, in-evitably, to Scott Morrison.

It is uncontested that Mor-rison raised in shadow cabinet the matter of fear and loathing of Muslims within some Aus-tralian communities. It is also pretty certain that he did not go on to say: ‘Of course such at-titudes are divisive and danger-ous, born of ignorance and nur-tured by bigotry, and we should join with the government and present a united front to do eve-rything possible to educate and inform those who hold such wrong-headed views.’

Given his record, it seems likely that reports that he ad-vised his colleagues to seek out ways to use whatever prejudice and hate they could uncover as weapons to wedge the govern-ment are at least pointing in the right direction. After all, this is One Nation policy, and One Nation’s demented Queensland mouthpiece Ian Nelson is al-ready claiming credit for inspir-ing Morrison’s outburst against bringing asylum seekers to at-tend the funerals of their close relatives, and for trying to get Abbott to drop aid to Indone-sian schools which teach poli-cies of moderation.

This latter policy will give aid and comfort to Muslim ex-tremists and so incite greater paranoia among the vulnerable in Australia, fully in line with what Morrison is reportedly advocating. And Gary Hum-phreys, the Liberal senator for the ACT, presented a petition calling for an end to all Mus-lim immigration. It was signed by just three people, none of whom live within 300 kilome-tres of Humphrey’s electorate. But, he said smugly, he was just doing his duty.

At least the bastards are con-sistent.

On the surface, the planned launch by Tweed Shire Council next month of Seniors Week at Kingscli� ’s Noble Lakeside Park where many seniors live sounds like a good idea, but a complaint by a resident reveals a di� erent slant in which council protocol is called into question.

The resident is absolutely right in saying permission for the launch by council should have been sought from the residents’ committee, an incorporated body, rather than the social committee which has no legal standing there and is not the lawful mouthpiece for residents.

Then the question of transparancy arises in that the park owner is currently involved in a Land and Environment Court appeal after the joint regional planning panel last year rejected his controversial bid to expand the park. That panel had overruled council’s approval of the extension and residents are part of this appeal.

We know council is a stickler on issues of probity or con-� ict, given all the recent ruckus with code of conduct citings by councillors, bans on protest placards in council and legal threats to residents over con� dential documents – so why hasn’t the council executive looked at the perception of holding the launch at a private place run by a sitting council-lor who is employed by and acts for a developer currently in a court battle with the state planning panel and residents?

Another park resident says many in the park do not object to the launch or involvement by the park in the event as many residents are involved with Seniors Week activi-ties, organising or playing in bands, but the right thing for council to do would have been to ask the residents’ commit-tee otherwise it could be seen that Cr Warren Polglase, who manages the park, is holding some sort of sway over council, and the park owner could reap some sort of � nancial bene� t from showcasing or promoting the park in such a way while the court case is continuing.

Council is fully aware of this sort of con� ict and its rami-� cations. It was not that long ago when Cr Polglase was then mayor, that the council’s new corporate identity and logo was planned, behind the scenes, to be launched at a private location at Chinderah owned by a prominent Tweed businessman, and seen as the uno� cial headquarters of the National Party in the Tweed, of which the mayor was a member.

The venue was hastily changed to public land at the last minute, after some councillors questioned whether it was a good look for council’s image to o� cially rebrand itself in the backyard of the Solo Waste Centre run by longtime sup-porter of the then mayor, party chief Idwall Richards.

Ill-considered opinionMr Selway’s letter to the edi-tor (February 17) deserves a response. A landowner of a rural property is not required to derive an ‘income’ from the property as a prerequisite to their activities being deemed agricultural.

If the Colbys’ property is zoned rural, then their eques-trian pad would be consistent with permissible uses within the zoning.

There has never been any suggestion that the Colbys are operating a business. It appears to me their dressage horses are an interest about which they are passionate.

As for the reference to the Colbys being ‘new owners’, so far as I am aware, they have lived on the property for 13 years.  Mr Selway appears to support Cr Milne’s ill-consid-ered opinion that long-term residents of the Tweed are deserving of  more favourable treatment from council than the ‘blow ins’.

Jim DwyerBilambil Heights

Stopping the carnageThe National Road Safety Council has called for a new strategy to achieve a 50 per cent reduction in tra� c fatali-ties over the next decade. � e Council says governments at all levels should double invest-ment in black spot programs and also criticises elements of the automotive industry for encouraging speeding and dangerous driving.

Road trauma costs the na-tion $27 billion annually, with around 1,500 fatalities and 30,000 seriously injured each year.

Northern Rivers Guardians, a grass roots activist organisa-tion, supports any measure that reduces injury and fatality on our roads, particularly strat-egies that diminish the risk to young people. Young drivers

are at particular risk, with peo-ple under 26 holding only 15 per cent of driver licences in NSW but comprising 36 per cent of all road fatalities in this state, therefore are more than twice as likely to die on our roads as other licence holders. � ey also comprise 32 per cent of those injured in all road ac-cidents in NSW.

Lack of experience is only one part of the equation, the other being driver attitudes, especially the ‘need for speed’ promoted by motorcar racing and parts of the automotive in-dustry. Motor sports promote a pro-speeding message which shapes driver attitudes.

Research by the ANU re-vealed a link between an in-terest in motor sports and an attitude that speeding is safe. A major problem with motor rac-ing is that spectators who wish to emulate the behaviour of the motor racing drivers o� en do so on public roads. � is then puts the burden of risk on to other road users.

� e Northern Rivers Guard-ians condemns the use of pub-lic money to support motor racing, as this money would be more wisely invested in help-ing reduce the massive burden of road trauma rather than en-courage risky driving. Govern-ments are sending the wrong message when they spend our tax dollars to sponsor motor racing, like V8 Super Cars and rally racing. If they are seri-ous about wanting to reduce the road toll the National Road Safety Council should recom-mend against public funding of motor racing.

Just to hand. Maybe the poli-ticians are starting to connect the dots: Liberal candidate for Auburn, Ned Attie, has report-edly told a community group opposing the V8 Supercars event that if the coalition is elected it would be moved to Eastern Creek.

Bring on the de� citAustralian governments of all persuasions are obsessed with the notion of surplus budgets. De� cit budgeting is common-place around the globe and at times becomes appropri-

ate. Such an option now ex-ists in Australia as we struggle with abnormal cost increases, eg. council rates, waste water, mortgage rates and bank fees, petrol pro� teering and weekly rises in basic foodstu� s.

Many of these costs were as a direct result of the Howard government’s preoccupation with financial surpluses to the detriment of infrastruc-ture spending on hospitals, schools, port facilities, railways and road transport and mental health.

The inordinate cost of liv-ing increases is a significant problem for low and middle class workers. Obscene re-muneration packages paid to company directors, CEOs and senior directors are precursors to the creation of a two-tier so-ciety, namely the wealthy and the poor. Workers produce the real wealth for companies and Australia and not the insatia-ble greed of a growing army of couch potatoes. Instead of placing a salary cap on these high flyers perhaps a 70 per cent income tax imposition would curb their greed. Jobs/employment is the crux of our long-term prosperity.

To compound the situa-tion the recent � ood crisis in Queensland and elsewhere will impose economic strains on the entire nation, hence de� cit budgeting may be an appropri-ate instrument to implement at this time. At least Tony Abbott’s shrill voice will not claim ‘another new tax’. De� cit funding of several billions of dollars would in fact bolster the economy giving stimulus to the agricultural/rural com-munity, restoring the viability of the mining sector, a major assistant to the infrastructure of local and state governments and a compassionate gesture to devastated home owners.

family thing’ work out. Basi-cally they just love their patch – and they’ve been this way for thousands of years – so who are we to think that ‘relocation’ is an option?  (It’s been tried and it failed.)  

We’re left with the simple choice – do we want koalas on the Tweed, or not?

The study has found that only three colonies remain that are big enough and have enough food trees to sustain koalas. It strongly recommends the following measures be put in place with urgency.

1. Tree preservation orders throughout the shire for the (only four) tree types koalas eat.

2. When fires do occur in their known neighbourhoods, protect them by putting the � re out (not just ‘controlling’ it) to prevent a repeat of 2009 when a major koala area at Cudgen was incinerated – and the koa-las with it.

3. Speed controls and/or ef-fective underpasses on roads

koalas must cross to reach other colonies or to search for juicier food trees.

4. Keep them well fed and safe closer to home by aug-menting their forests (and the surrounding area) with koalas’ favourite trees.

5. Draw up a ‘Koala Man-agement Plan’ that outlines the most strategic and e� ec-tive ways to put these measures into action.

Finally – and this shouldn’t have to be said – any new de-velopments on land close to known koala colonies must adopt ‘best practice’ koala friendly measures.  These are not di� cult or costly (in the big scheme) and they are well known and well tried with positive results.

So, although reading this might make saving our koalas all sound quite simple, be as-sured – koalas will be gone from the Tweed if you do no more than just read this letter.

Marion RiordanCondong

A report (just released) by re-nowned koala ecologist Ste-phen Phillips paints a grim picture for the last remaining koalas on the Tweed Coast. Until the last few years the area between Terranora and Potts-ville supported several koala colonies surviving in the wild. � is latest study � nds that their numbers have now halved!

At an estimated total popu-lation of only 144, their long-term survival now hangs pre-cariously in the balance.  

But they can be saved With a few practical measures this report explains how we can increase their number to 170 – the population needed for long-term viability.

Their decline (in order of fatality) has been caused by recent coastal � res, motor ac-cidents and lastly dog attacks (that happen unseen or heard in isolated bushland).  

It is now vital that we focus on their habitat – this means preserving the areas where we know they still live and breed. Koala habitat areas are now protected under state law but astonishingly the Tweed Shire Council does not have any form of koala management plan to identify and preserve these areas!

Our Tweed Coast koalas are a remarkably enduring bunch.  � e study has sighted three generations of koalas making their homes and liv-ing in the same location. When our koalas � nd a good place to live – like many of us in this beautiful area – they stay put.

� is will be the key to their survival.

Like us they keep a certain distance from their neighbour but still require another colo-ny nearby to make the whole ‘� nding a mate and starting a

more than $9 billion in prized agricultural assets plus water rights have been sold to off-shore interests and one of these is the Queensland Cattle Company which holds 22 cattle properties.

On top of this some of Aus-tralia’s best known brands, such as Golden Circle, SPC, Dairy Farmers, CSR Sugar and Sun Rice, just to name some, have also passed into foreign ownership with buyers looking to buy more of our assets.

The main reason they are buying is to feed their own population because they know the world population will keep increasing and the demand for food will become even greater, which is fair enough. However, it is hard to understand why our politicians allowed more than 49 per cent of these valu-able assets to be sold and at the rate they are being snapped up Australia would eventually end up with none.

Set aside politicsWe moved from the Gold Coast to escape the overpopu-lation and constant traffic to find tranquillity in this won-derful village.

We are both in our late eight-ies, and have lived here for over two years. This beautiful envi-ronment should not be spoilt and end up as the next Gold Coast.

It appears that rights of the people are being ignored by the Tweed Shire Council, who ap-pear to be hand in glove with the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust.

This council seems to have the reputation of being bullies, and I find it incredible that these people were sacked once, and reappear to once again ig-nore the complaints of a large number of its community.

Perhaps someone should set up a petition (if it has not al-ready been submitted). I would certainly sign on the dotted line.

Give a thought, Mr Mayor, set aside your politics and save this pristine area for this gen-eration and many to come, and take your caravan park and buildings etc, and save the fauna and all relevant plants and trees.

Deep love and concernI wish to correct your heading ‘Greens are a broad church’ at the beginning of Lyn Dickin-son’s letter in last week’s Echo.

The Greens are not a church at all but a political party with specific agendas much the same as any other political party. Their political agenda certainly has environmental elements but it also has a social engineering agenda.

Jesus Christ loves and ac-cepts the human beings of this planet with love and under-

standing. After all, he died for the sins of the world and each one in it, even those who don’t believe he exists. We who fol-low him try to love as he loved but because we are human we fail continually.

There are many kinds of love. The original Greek words, which we have trans-lated loosely into ‘love’, cov-ered different emotions such as ‘Eros’ (sexual love), ‘Philia’ (brotherly love), and ‘Agape’ (Love of God for man, also the selfless love that causes one person to sacrifice themselves and their own best interest for another).

We are male and female. Because we are both halves of a whole, society functions best when those two roles are clearly identified.  Philia and Eros are necessary for a good marriage between a man and a woman and Philia for a good parent child relationship.

When Philia and Eros ex-ist between two men, two women or parent and a child, or Eros between an adult and a child, the laws of nature are broken.  Society suffers. Sexu-al identity becomes confused and often damaged beyond re-pair. Young people growing up need that sense of identity.

I have only deep love and concern and certainly do not condemn those caught up in this lifestyle or those damaged by it.

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 magnificent 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-profit organisation committed to protecting rainforests forever. We create opportunities for individuals and businesses to support successful projects to protect and restore our rainforests.

A FLUSH FIND Mabel wishes she had found the bidet toilet seat years ago. ‘It’s marvellous,’ she says. ‘I always wanted a bidet in my bathroom. I heard that a bidet would assist me as my arthritis and bad back had made going to the loo an onerous task.’

Mabel says her luck changed when she saw an ad in the local paper a few months ago placed by The Bidet Shop for the bidet electronic toilet seat. It read, ‘This bidet simply replaces your existing toilet seat and will automatically clean you without toilet paper’.

Mabel said she was so excited she called The Bidet Shop for more information. She spoke to Stephen, who explained apart from the comfort factors of a heated seat and

other great features incorporated into the bidet, the bidet toilet seat has many health benefits. He explained how the seat worked: once you had finish doing your business, ‘simply press the bottom or feminine wash button and the bidet provides a stream of warm water to clean you thoroughly. Then, with the press of another button, warm air gently dries you. No more toilet paper!’

Although The Bidet Shop offered to send out a brochure pack, Mabel decided to order a bidet seat straight away. She easily installed the seat herself and it fitted perfectly on her existing toilet bowl. Mabel said the bidet was one of the best investments she had made in her personal health and hygiene and no longer finds going to the loo an issue. ‘Give it a go,’ she says, ‘I did and I couldn’t be happier.’ For an in-home demo or for a full brochure and a price list, call The Bidet Shop on 5591 7744. Or come see how the bidets work at our display centre in Australia Fair Southport.

Technology and smart thinking provide us with a range of options to capture, collect and manage rainwater for various uses around the home, rather than let it go down the drain, literally.

Recognising these efforts is Smart Approved WaterMark, a nationwide scheme that promotes products and services that help you save water around the home and garden. More than 240 products and services proven to save water now have the label across Australia.

Supporting the push for water effi ciency is landscape designer and environmental scientist Josh Byrne, well-known presenter on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia and a dedicated supporter of sustainable and waterwise gardening.

‘In my home state of Western Australia, we haven’t had the rain that the eastern states have so we must continue to be vigilant about our water use. But when it is raining – that’s the time to catch that water and save it for the dry days which will inevitably follow,’ Josh said.

‘Another good reason to continue to be waterwise is the rising cost of water. Bills for our basic utilities, power and water, have risen dramatically across Australia and will continue to rise, so saving electricity and water will also help the home budget.’

Smart WaterMark has created an online calculator at www.smartwatermark.org that shows the embedded energy costs in the use of tap water.

Finding water-saving products and services is easier thanks to Smart WaterMark. An Independent Technical Expert Panel assess products and services which claim to save water – and those that prove they do are approved to use the distinctive label.

AMONG THE TIPS SMART WATERMARK SUGGESTS FOR USING YOUR TANK WISELY ARE:

Use rainwater diverters – these simply divert rainwater from downpipes into storage tanks, for watering the garden, fl ushing toilets, use in the laundry or fi lling up pools. They are easy to install for a home handyperson and are priced from $30 to $40.

Use a controller – these devices control the fl ow of tank and mains water, ensuring that when tank water is available, it will be used as a priority before mains water. These are priced from $400 to $1000 and are easily fi tted by a plumber.

Keep debris out – use leaf strainers and fi rst-fl ush diverters to ensure water going into the tank is clean.

Maintain a healthy tank – keep your gutters clear from leaf debris and keep an eye out for mosquitoes. Check the tank every two or three years for sludge and sediment.

Talk to council about any planning regulations and local rules about collecting and using rainwater.

The National Rainwater and Greywater Household Rebate offers rebates of up to $500 for new rainwater tanks or greywater systems, while many local utilities and councils offer rebates on water saving product purchase and installation.

Smart WaterMark is run by the Water Services Association of Australia, Irrigation Australia, the Nursery and Garden Industry Australia and the Australian Water Association with funding from the Australian Government’s Water Smart Australia program through the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

Television Guide

stars

With the Sun, Mercury and late week Mars joining

Uranus and Chiron in fl uid Pisces, liquid principles

apply: as in taking the path of least resistance around

obstacles rather than meeting them head on…

WITH LILITH

ARIES: With your boss planet Mars in the sign of sensitivity and healing, emotions could bubble up when you least expect it. Don’t � ght them – use this chance to � nally understand how those feelings of being ignored, overlooked or unsupported are working against you.

TAURUS: This week makes discipline di� cult as hearts, minds, plans, arrangements and agreements all become subject to change. Muting the volume on your judgment channel – not always easy for Taurans – could allow you to hear a brilliant solution to a situation that seemed insoluble.

GEMINI: As this week dives from the empire of ideas into the sea of feelings, agendas turn inwards and personal – in your case to the deeper feelings churning

beneath that eternally perky front. Stop–gap quick � xes which worked for the short term now need serious, in-depth reconsidering.

CANCER: Cancer cusp philosopher Jean Paul Sartre famously observed that hell is other people, which could be looking pretty appropriate this week. Do whatever you can to clarify confusion, illusions, projections and assumptions for the sake of smoother group dynamics, and your own sanity.

LEO: This week’s sensitive issues need discussion, concessions and a delicate touch, so resist your natural tendency to play the drama card. On the upside though Your Majesty’s artistic creativity is peaking, imagination’s rampant, romantic juices are on the rise and � ashes of

genius are just waiting to strike.VIRGO: A nurturing, fertile week for Virgos, though not without the odd unavoidable disappointment. If the realisation dawns that most people aren’t into living up to your ideals and expectations, that lets them o� the hook. And makes your job as enforcer redundant, wouldn’t you say?LIBRA: If this week turns colleagues or loved ones critical and bitchy don’t take it too hard, because their minds and moods are doing three-sixty-degree wheelies much like your own. Rather than snapping back, keep the peace with what Libran Clive James calls diplomatic inexactitude.SCORPIO: Do yourself a favour by not hanging out with angry, dissatis� ed,

unhappy people. This isn’t sel� sh: if there’s any way to help them, do it. If not, get on with handling this week’s existential dilemmas, which require pressing forward cautiously while not forcing decisions or showdowns.

SAGITTARIUS: If you’re feeling the time’s right for a giant shift, you’re not wrong, and there’s plenty going on that’s yet to become apparent. Impromptu get-togethers, especially around end-of-week Sagittarian moon, will attract precisely the kind of people you need around you right now.

CAPRICORN: You’re quite sensitive right now, so it takes extra e� ort to stay positive in the face of emotional wa� ing, viral mind changing and poor–me stories. Get plenty of light–hearted stress relief,

and enjoy this week’s many tender moments of the up-close and intimate kind.

AQUARIUS: If hidden insecurities surfacing cause discomfort in this week’s partnerships, you can morph these mysteries into mastery by not engaging in power struggles with anyone but yourself. Don’t gloss over problems though, and you could end up enjoying liberating breakthroughs, even a relationship rejuvenation.

PISCES: With this week’s Sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Chiron, planets of energy, communication, drive, enlightenment and healing all in Pisces it would be easy to get carried away in your own world and lose touch with others. So here’s the deal: keep it real.

1. The usually suave Pierce Brosnan plays a sociopath in the Canadian thriller Butter� y On A Wheel (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). The title is a literary allusion to Alexander Pope’s work, so no wonder the Americans called it Shattered instead.2. Josh Peck plays the troubled teenager who falls in love with his psychiatrist’s daughter in The Wackness (SBS1, Saturday, 10.05pm).3. The peerless master of the nature doco, David Rabbitburrow, is back with David Attenborough’s First Life (ABC1, Sunday, 7.30pm). That’s a sponge he’s examining, not a turd.

Degrassi: The Next

16 February 24, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo www.tweedecho.com.au

When 18-year-old Le Quang Liem won a second consecu-tive Aeroflot title this week in Moscow he confirmed that he is much more than just a one-hit wonder.

In its ten-year history, the Aeroflot Open has established itself as the toughest open tour-nament in the world, with a large prize fund and entry restricted to players rated above 2550. (To put this in perspective, currently Australian Champion Zhao Zong Yuan would be the only player from Oceania allowed to enter.)

Until now, no player had ever won the Aeroflot Open twice, or even gone close to winning the event twice.

However, Le led the 2011 event from start to finish, and even a penultimate round loss to Ivan Cheparinov – better known as the main second of Veselin Topalov – could not stop the Vietnamese teenager.

Last year after Aeroflot Le stayed behind in Moscow for a fortnight and studied with Alexander Khalifman. Khalifman

obviously did well in his fortnight of coaching – witness the fol-lowing superb positional crush of Grandmaster Mikhail Kobalia.Moscow Aeroflot Open 2011White: M KobaliaBlack: Le Quang LiemOpening: English1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 Nf6 4.Bg2 Bb4 A 1970s system which is enjoying a revival.5.Nf3 0-0 6.0-0 d6 7.d3 Bxc3 8.bxc3 h6 9.Ne19.e4 has a better reputation, intending to meet 9...Ne7 10.Nh4 g5 11.Nf3 Ng6 with 12.Nxg5!.9...e4! 10.Nc210.dxe4 Re8 11.f3 Be6 looks ugly for White but after 12.c5 the struggle would lie ahead.10...Re8 11.Rb1White’s plan of working around the Black e pawn does not work out well but 11.f3 exd3 12.exd3 d5 is already very comfortable for Black.11...b6 12.Bf4 Bb7 13.Nd4 Qd7 14.Nxc6 Bxc6 15.Qd2 Re7 16.d4?

BYRON BAYThe 5th

AFTER TOURING THROUGH THE UK AND EUROPE LAST YEAR,a swag of festival appearances and some gobsmacking reviews, TIN PAN ORANGE hits Coolangatta at the Soundlounge. Seven spoke with the remarkable Ms Emily Lubitz.

Are you still living in Melbourne? Do you think living in Melbourne is an advantage to your musical career given the number of venues and gigs as compared with, say, Sydney or Brisbane? Why? Yes, we are all Melbourne people. I’m not sure about the advantages and disadvantages of living in Melbourne because I’ve never lived anywhere else for very long. I guess it’s a thriving nest of people doing what we do … that’s a good thing and bad thing … in the past it has felt like being a small � sh in a big pool. We went to places like Darwin and felt like bigger � sh. It was like we were feeding hungry puppies. Melbourne is harder to crack in a way but it also o� ers more opportunity, and certainly a lot of inspiration from other artists.

You toured with The Cat Empire in Europe last year – they have a high-velocity high-energy set, audiences are waiting for that; is it di� cult going on before them? Do those audiences – their audiences I suppose – get Tin Pan Orange as well? The Euro crowds were most obliging. Really wonderful, actually. The Cats seem to have a following all around the world of people who are not just wanting to dance mindlessly (which they do as well), but are actually real music lovers. We felt very understood in most cities we went to. I think it’s also a European thing, maybe, that when someone is on the stage doing their art, they listen. Very respectful – and crazy at the same time. It was an amazing tour!

Do you think the general public have broadened their acceptance of music in the last decade? (Meaning it used to be embarrassing to admit you liked country music, but now it’s kind of groovy to have

a Hank Williams in your collection.) Hank Williams has always been cool! I guess everything is such a mish-mash these days we all have to pay our respects to the inventors. It’s like we are able to borrow so much from such a wealthy history of pop music; when you hear Hendrix or Billie or Leadbelly, it satis� es a craving for the roots of things.

What are the embarrassing records that you secretly love in your music collection? I was singing Mariah Carey’s Music Box the other day before a gig, but I think I’ve lost that CD now. Man that girl could sing!  

Tell me a little about the new album you are working on at the moment? Well, we’re writing for it now. The record will have a fuller sound I think … perhaps a bit more sonically experimental but with same old-fashioned, honest songwriting we’ve always done.

What production choices are you making? We’ll be using more instruments this time … like a rhythm section and some lush brass sections. We’ll be working with a wonderful producer Steve Schram (Little Red, Little Birdy, The Cat Empire), who will bring much to the record I’m sure.

How has your music changed over the last few releases? Do you feel that you’ve arrived at a sound that feels completely yours? Our songwriting has become better, I think – more mature you could say. But I think we are still searching for ‘sound’ … I guess you never stop searching … or maybe growing is the word. 

Your voice attracts a lot of attention. Even from divas like Renee Geyer. What is it about your voice that seems to touch people so deeply? I’m not sure about that one. I’ll just say thanks. 

Tell me the most surprising thing that’s happened for you musically over the past 12 months? Alex did the Hammer dance in Amsterdam and took us all by surprise. He says he doesn’t remember.

See them at the Soundlounge, Coolangatta on Friday 25.

Coolangatta has the best AppsIn what’s been a stellar year for local singer-songwriter Kristy Apps, her album Pour Me Out was voted top ten blues and roots Album of the Year by Rhythms magazine, Album of the Week by Rave magazine, and most playedalbum of the week at 4ZZZ radio in Brisbane. To celebrate these incredible victories Kristy is doing local shows with her new band to thank to those who have supported her most. ‘The coast has always been a favourite place to play. Just last month we trialled the new line-up at The Rails in Byron and the response was amaz-ing,’ says Kristy. Among her new all-lady line-up are legends of the Brisbane music scene Sallie Campbell on violin, Shiv Zimmerman on bass and Ruthie Gardner on guitar. ‘I’ve been blessed to work with some incredible musicians, each bringing a new sound and depth to the music. I’m really looking forward to playing the Coolan-gatta. There’s just such great energy between us all, and this new instrumentation has brought a real organic feel to my music.’ see Kristy at the Patch Lounge Coolangatta on Friday.

Dave CavanaghDave Cavanagh is an accomplished musician who is respected for his great ability to play and sing music to all ages and across most genres. Having had many years in the music industry he

is an extreme-ly enjoyable entertainer to listen to. This will be an evening of great free en-tertainment. Dave has a cross-section of music ranging from covers to his own original music. It is a

perfect blend of 70s through to the more recent music, covering music from Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Cold Chisel, Bernard Fanning, Credence, Eagles, Beatles, Jason Maraz, Rolling Stones and many more. Dave’s own music style is a contemporary folk/rock, with his own personal experiences entwined; he is a storyteller.Dave has supported many famous acts and bands in his career, eg Bob Geldorf, Tommy Em-manuel, Cold Chisel, Billy Thorpe, Blues Legends USA just to name a few. Dave has written and recorded his own original music and has three albums which include Blue Yonder, DC and the Rich Men, Fist Full Of Dollars. The title track of Blue Yonder is Journey Home which is featured on the Lightning Strikes DVD, when Mick Fanning won his � rst World Sur� ng Title. Dave also has an instrumental track on Dean Morrison’s movie A Dingo’s Tale released in March. His music has also featured on many surf movies produced by Matty Gye and Shagga, legends of their craft. Dave’s song Been to Bourke and Back which was performed by the band Bourke’n’Back Boys was nominated for Song of the Year, Tamworth Country Music Festival.See Dave at the Twin Towns Juniors Club on Friday.

Widen your stanceBroadfoot take to the Tweed River this week-end, � rstly alighting at the Ivory Tavern on Saturday 26 from 8pm before travelling up river to the Riverview Tavern in Murwillumbah on Sunday 27 starting from 2pm. Broadfoot are a band that love to have audiences up dancing, playing a mixture of their own songs combined with many that in� uenced and continue to inspire the band. Last August Broadfoot won a North Coast Entertaiment Industry Award for their song The Timeless Groove in the funk category, as well as being nominated as a � nalist for best emerging talent. Although Broadfoot's music has funky elements it has more to it, with two-and three-part vocal harmonies, scintillating improvisation and a spirit of fun that leaves an

When you’re in public o� ce, it’s a good idea not to insult your constitutents. A few weeks ago former Tweed Mayor Warren Polglase disgraced himself by telling an 80-year-old woman to ‘Get a job’. This was in response to the Tweed Shire woman expressing her disapproval of Polglase’s support in the council vote for a new dam in the Tweed. As he passed her she uttered ‘shame’ to which old Polly inferred she needed an urgent trip to Centrelink.

‘Get a job’ is not a very original comeback. He might as well have yelled ‘show us ya tits’ or ‘I just had sex with your mum’. They’re just tired old heckles, a way of minimising and dismissing the other person as a fool. If you are going to have a retort, make it appropriate. Why yell ’get a job’ to an 80-year-old woman who’s well past working age?

Doesn’t Polly realise the retirement age is 65? Is he really expecting Mrs Jack to apply for Newstart? ‘And where have you applied for work this week Mrs Jack?’ ‘Hmm, the bowls club?’ Does Mr Polglase have any idea how di� cult it is for an 80-year-old woman to re-enter the workforce? I’ve scanned the employment section of the relevant Tweed papers and not one job requested an octogenerian. As hard as Mrs Jack tries I just don’t think she’s going to get a job.

Chances are, that at the age of 80, Mrs Jack has ful� lled her civic duty in the workforce. She has earned her dues. She can sleep sixteen hours a day in her slippers if she wishes. She’s a community elder. But no, Mr Polglase wants Mrs Jack back on the payroll. He wants her cleaning toilets, or holding the Stop-and-Go sign; maybe she could even get a job at the McDonald’s Drive-Thru. So when Warren nips in for a midnight McFeast she’d � ll his order, take his cash and then utter ‘shame!’ and he’d say ‘Go on the pension!’

‘Get a job’ is an insult born of our protestant work ethic. It echoes an underlying belief system that people with jobs are better people than people without jobs. People with jobs should have more rights than people without jobs. People who work in jobs and pay taxes are good. People with disabilities,

on pensions, who are unemployed, sick or in� rm are bad.

People with a ‘get a job’ mentality are frightened of people who live outside of the 40-hour week. They despise those citizens who sleep until 11. Who spend months in the forest chained to trees or three hours day in a yoga class. To Get a Jobbers, people without jobs are irritating. They have time to do things like, well, like research environmental problems associated with dams. They have time to read environmental impact studies. They have time to attend council meetings and sit in the public gallery. They have time to protest decisions they believe are short sighted and unfair.

These stupid people need to get a job. Because when you have a job you’re compliant. You’re just too tired from spending the best part of your week doing something meaningless to earn money to pay for a life that you don’t have time to participate in. I’m a taxpayer. I’m happy that part of the money I earn goes to providing modest income supports for single mothers, the unemployed, the lazy and the drug addicted. I’d rather it went there than into new cars for Wilson Tuckey, speech lessons for Julia Gillard or a compassion implant for Tony Abbott.

So how did the Polster apologise to an 80-year-old? He sent an email. ‘Sorry old bat...send. There it’s done.’ When Kevin Rudd said Sorry to Indigenous Australia he didn’t send an email. Email apologies are copouts. Apologies should be public. They should be sincere. And they should attempt to restore dignity back to the o� ended party.

I suggest that if Warren Polglase wants to make a proper apology he needs to make a personal trip to Elizabeth Jack’s home, o� er her a foot rub, clean her gutters and a make her a cup of tea. As the song says, Warren Polglase: ‘Polly put the kettle on.’ Maybe Polglase should stop worrying about people getting a job, and get on with doing his job.

Bec LaughtonIt was only natural for Bec Laughton, raised as a theatre orphan, to set foot on stage. At 16 years the young performer played Dor-othy in the motown musical The Wiz with Harvest Rain Theatre Company, and received rave reviews. Although a well-equipped dancer and actor, Bec decided it was singing and songwriting

that ultimately � oated her dinghy, and she set sail for the Queensland Conservatorium of Music to study jazz vocals. Now perform-ing her original soul/pop music throughout Queensland with her 2–10 piece suite, Bec re-ally attracted the spotlight when she won the Gospel/Spiritual category of the 2009 QSong Awards. The track, Holy Love, is included on her debut EP to be released this year. Bec has featured at the Dreaming Festival, the Wood-ford Folk Festival and supported international R&B act Zhane at Psycho Remedy among her many countless performances across south-east Australia. With her powerhouse voice and intoxicating performance, beware this � erey songstress. Sheaok Shack Saturday.

ing audiences worldwide for over ten years. With their combined musical talents, multi-instrumentalist Scott and lead singer Sarah form the heart of Midnight Groove.

tralia. As a singer/songwriter/pianist her albums and credits abound. Trysette has been the support act for the likes of Toni Childs and Deborah Conway. When she is on that stage her talent shines.

GOOD FOOD GUIDECHEFS HAT EVERYYEAR SINCE 1998

Nunderi artist completes monumental projectHeather Matthew creates ‘A stitch in time’ each day during 2010. A stitch in time is a project of epic proportions by Nunderi artist Heather Matthew.The work represents a full year of work after Heather created one small collage on each day of 2010, displaying great commitment to her project. The 365 individual works are a daily record of the artist’s thoughts and everyday musings, constructed from every-day materials such as train tickets, text, postage stamps and her own discarded prints and paintings.A stitch in time creates a stunning presence as visitors enter the gallery foyer, and was a major drawcard when a workshop was staged at the gallery last Sunday. Seventy people attended the workshop to receive Heather's guidance to create their own col-lages.Gallery Director Susi Muddiman said Heather’s stunning work in-cited a lot of speculation and reminiscing among gallery visitors. ‘Visitors are so taken with the work. There are so many intricate details in each collage and we’ve heard visitors speculating about what might have been happening in Heather’s life that day,’ said Miss Muddiman. ‘It’s a great test for people’s memories too – like 24-6-10 ‘You Go Girl and How!’ re� ecting the day Julia Gillard became Australia’s � rst female Prime Minister.‘A stitch in time is an amazing display of Heather’s commitment in terms of time, energy and perseverance. It is fascinating to see how a small e� ort each day can culminate in such a monumental achievement.’Heather said when she embarked on the project, she did not realise what a momentous year it would be. ‘The ritual of mak-ing a daily collage became a personal meditation on each day’s events,’ she said. ‘Some were important personal occasions, like my son’s wedding, 20-3-10 ‘A Song of Love Divine,’ others were a commentary on climatic extremes 19-4-10 ‘Volcanic Disruptions and Politics’.‘Looking back over the year, I see repeated motifs in the humble cup of tea – 15-4-10 ‘Boiling the Billy’ – as well as comparisons between my life in the Victorian high country and my new abode in northern NSW.’The collage is on display on Tweed River Art Gallery until March 27.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame at Stokers EvolvesApproaching it’s third year of showcasing local performers Fifteen Minutes of Fame at Stokers, the monthly variety show on at Stokers Siding Hall every� rst Friday of each month, is now presenting a featured professional act as well as the usual ‘black-board’ acts.This month features well known North Coast Folk musician Karl Farren This Dolphin Award winning singer/guitarist will bring his wit and feeling to the stage featuring songs from his acclaimed album Repentance Creek.Also appearing on March 4 will be Loki DeJagger well known Stokers Siding Stand-up Commedienne, local guitarist and singer Tony Hogan along with one of his guitar students, Sue Gallagher and Company bringing excellent song and performance, Rod Sims all the way from Woodburn with guitar

and song and The Chillingham Voices Choir with beauti-ful acapella singing. 7pm Stokers Siding Hall, $12.

Fishing with the tidesDavid Solano

I love to go fishing early in the morning.

With the low out-going tide on the weekend, I knew any venture out was always going to be a struggle.

I ended up fishing a flathead run up river from Drydock Road, always hard fishing on the extreme run out.

I did manage to catch a cou-ple of flatties but really I should have slept in and waited for the tide to rise a bit. I think there is a little truth to the saying ‘No Run, No Fun’.

I headed home early before the crowd arrived, though I did run into another lizard hunter – Frank is his name, a local fisho, and he knew his game.

Rods rigged with various plastics including the famous ‘Nuclear Chicken’ coloured minno. The lucky guy had the whole morning off so was going to hang around for the push in tide.

I checked out the weigh-in at the local Seagulls Fishing Competition on Sunday morn-ing and it seems that Taylor and nice size Darts are show-ing up in numbers off the local beaches.

n If you have any fishing news and hints and tips you would like to share with David, email: editor@tweedecho.com.au.

Gold Coast goes ProThe women of the water will have their eyes on Gold Coast this week in preparation for the Roxy Pro due to start on Saturday.

It still has not been con-firmed if ASP World Champi-on and local surfing sweetheart Stephanie Gilmore will hit the waves for the her fifth bite of the title apple after her recov-ery from an attack that saw her left arm broken last December.

The entire pro cohort are pumped for both the Roxy Pro and the Quicksilver Pro which will both run between Febru-ary 26 and March 9.

The top 17 women will spring back into action this weekend for the opening event of the 2011 ASP Women’s World Title season and the world’s best fe-male surfers as they start their respective campaigns.

Running in conjunction with the women’s event will be the running of the Quicksilver Pro.

With the likes of Kelly Slater, Jordy Smith, Taj Burrow and Mick Fanning just the creme on the cake, this event will defi-nitely set the stage for the rest of the season and the guys are really fired up.

Surfing Queensland, Quick-silver, and local business Con-necting Southern Gold Coast have decided to assist with im-proving this world-class event by funding a free ‘Park ’n’ Ride’ shuttle bus service on each of the two Saturdays and Sundays of the event. Look out for drop-off and pick-up areas around the Gold Coast.

Look for the camps at Snap-per Rocks, Duranbah and Kir-ra breaks or for more informa-tion on locations or the lead up to the events visit the websites: www.quiksilverpro.com.au and www.roxypro.com.au.

Students drenched at swim carnivalMurwillumbah East Primary School students braved tor-rential downpours last Tuesday to participate in their annual swimming carnival at Tweed River Aquatic Centre in Mur-willumbah.

It was an action-packed day where students of all ages had the opportunity to compete in a wide range of races as well as enjoying some fun water games and activities organised by the school staff.

The occasional heavy show-er did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the children as they made the most of their day at the pool.

More than twenty students have progressed to the district swimming carnival where they will represent their school against other public schools in the area.

This group of students in-cludes the following age cham-pions of Murwillumbah East’s swimming carnival: Darcie No-ble (junior girl champion), Cal-lum Wise (junior boy cham-pion), Erica Mellor (11 year girl champion), Liam Parker (11 year boy champion), Jordan Dickinson (senior girl cham-

pion), and Lucas O’Connor (senior boy champion).

Proficiency and safety in the water is a high priority for our students as the majority of our families spend a great deal of time at our fantastic beaches and waterways. For this reason developing good water safety skills and strong swimming techniques has always been a focus of the fitness program at Murwillumbah East. This also leads to a very high number of students taking part in swim-ming races at our swimming carnival.

Tough going, but always fun – David with one of his flathead

Malfunction: what’s SUP?

Stand Up Paddleboards: you see them everywhere, out the back picking up swells long before they become waves, gliding along rivers and estu-aries, advertising in all the surf magazines and at all the major longboard events in Australia.

Since the Malfunction first made room available in the program for a couple of heats,

the SUPs have grown into a sig-nificant part of the event with both surfing and racing divi-sions for pros and amateurs.

For those that may be new to SUPs there will be displays of various boards and equipment, as well as demonstrations for those wishing to try out a SUP, during the Malfunction Surf Festival.

With so much on offer the Malfunction Surf Festival held from March 23 to 27 at Kingscliff, is an event not to be missed.

For further information on entry forms or how to become involved as a sponsor please visit www.malfunction.com.au or phone 0414 569 208.Photo: Keahi de Aboitiz – ASP Australasia

Tenants win under new rental lawsThe most signifi cant legislative modernisation to tenancy in over 20 years comes into e� ect this week with the rental landscape in New South Wales set to change for both landlords and tenants.

According to Ray White, the largest property management company in New South Wales, areas previously unlegislated will now have more clarity and regulation but there are some holes for investors.

Director of Property Man-agement Ben White says that in the Residential Tenancies Act the implementation of a ‘break lease fee’ will dramati-cally alter the rental industry.

‘Previously, if a tenant le� the property prior to the lease period ending they would have to compensate the landlord for

the expense of re-letting. Now they simply pay a break-lease fee. � e fee will, in many cases, be less than the compensation for re-letting: a win for ten-ants but a loss for landlords particularly in high vacancy markets,’ Mr White said.

‘In a low rental vacancy market like most of inner Syd-ney, for instance, the prem-ise would likely be re-leased quickly but in high vacancy markets landlords could now be without rental income for months.’

Some previously unleg-islated areas will now have clarity on paper, according to Mr White who says this will hopefully reduce the number of disputes arising from grey areas in the previous legisla-tion, particularly in event of

rent reductions, mortgagee re-possessions of rented premises and the tenancy database.

‘Tenancy is going to become more and more prevalent in NSW: factors like strong popu-lation growth in metropolitan and coastal NSW coupled with the perception that Generation Y will be renters rather than buyers mean it’s crucial that the landlord-tenant relationship is legislated and regulated.”

Tenants also benefit from extensions to eviction notice periods – 30 days up from 14

for standard leases and for pe-riodic leases a total of 90 days.

‘Shared tenancies will also be made more � uid and bonds can be paid in installments rather than provided upfront – this will certainly appeal to students who are particularly transient in their rental move-ments and do not always have full bond amounts on hand.’

Mr White said overall the new legislation brings NSW into greater harmony with Vic-toria and Queensland tenancy legislation.

Remember when people pro-testing in the council public gallery prompted then mayor Warren Polglase to threaten to close the whole gallery? One council watcher says it would be more democratic for only the people creating a disturbance to be chucked out, and praised the current mayor for ‘doing the right thing’ last week by hav-ing a noisy heckler removed and not closing the whole gal-lery instead.

■ ■ ■ ■

Further to that story, it’s been pointed out that the person ejected from council’s public gallery was not a supporter of Elizabeth Jack (see right) and we apologise for any confu-sion. Backburner has been told that Ms Jack has never met the woman in question. Our infor-mant also says, ‘Sure, pollies insult each other all the time in parliament but it doesn’t make it a justi� cation for an “ex-ex-mayor” to throw such an insult to such a valuable retired (but still actively working) woman, she doesn’t have to attend coun-cil meetings, doesn’t get paid to attend, but, as a concerned resident, attend she does, every month.’

■ ■ ■ ■

A fundraiser dinner dance for � ood victims to be hosted by Lu� ey Café in Murwillumbah scheduled for this Saturday, Feb-ruary 26, has been changed to next Saturday, March 5, at 7pm. � e event costs $10 a head as a direct donation, plus the cost of a meal with proceeds from auctions and ra� es going to the Queensland Premier’s Flood Appeal. Tweed Valley busi-nesses have donated ra� e priz-es and auction items and that well-known local spruiker and auctioneer, Bernie Quinn, will be doing his fastest talking to get top dollar for the many prizes on o� er. Bookings 6672 8590.

Greens councillor Katie Milne had her wings clipped momen-tarily at the council meeting last week when she attempted

to have a policy report pre-pared about measures to limit the amount of rubbish swept into waterways at the time of flood. She went on at some length about the sight of con-tainers bobbing down the Brisbane River before veteran councillor Dot Holdom de-scended from the clouds. ‘Have you ever been in a � ood?’ she demanded. ‘Who here has been in a � ood?’ she asked the council in general. All but Cr Milne volunteered they’d sur-vived a � ood. ‘If you’re caught in a � ood all you’re concerned about is saving the child in your arms – your life,’ thundered Cr Holdom. ‘� e last thing you’re worried about is whether a plas-tic bag has � oated o� .’ Cr Joan van Leishout chipped in that it’s awfully di� cult to ensure stu� didn’t break loose in a major inundation. � e council voted 5-2 to give Cr Milne’s motion the order of the boot.

■ ■ ■ ■   Katie walked into another hornets’ nest when she tried to tinker with lease arrange-ments with a Murwillumbah boys’ boxing club. The club has graced Murwillumbah’s Amwill Park for the past eight years at a peppercorn rental from the council and, in line with its dedication to assisting underprivileged kids, it sought to continue the lease arrange-ments for another two years. Our Katie suggested that, while it was all � ne and dandy to sup-port the local kids, what about the needs of other community-oriented groups? Wouldn’t it be better to defer a decision until all worthy organistions could be considered? � is brought a stinging rebuke from Cr Dot Holdom who said she’d ‘never heard such a mealy-mouthed reason for deferring a decision’. ‘� at dear little place just sits on that hill and provides an

opportunity for young people who need support of this kind. If you were a mother you would understand, councillor Milne.’ Nasty enough, but then came a ‘� at won’t happen’ jibe from Cr Phil Youngblutt. A slightly stunned Katie said ‘how rude’ to which Cr Youngblutt re-sponded ‘Sorry, that won’t happen.’ During the alterca-tion, Cr Milne made a mu� ed remark concerning the honesty of Cr Warren Polglase. An out-raged Cr Polglase threatened to leave the room unless he got an apology. Mayor Kevin Skin-ner directed Katie to apologise. ‘Sorry’ was all the a� ronted Cr Polglase got. All he deserved too, seeing that Cr Polglase had earlier been carpeted for breaching the council code of conduct by telling pensioner Elizabeth Jack to ‘get a job’. � e brevity of his email apology to the the anti-dam protester raised some eyebrows.

Eighty-year-old Elizabeth Jack hard at work as a volunteer on a community tree planting project on the Tweed River at Byangum. Elizabeth was told to ‘get a job’ by Cr Warren Polglase last year and he was forced to apologise after he was found to have breached the councillors’ code of conduct which says councillors should treat others with respect. Members say Elizabeth is ‘always � rst on site, brushcutting, swinging the mattock and planting out the riverbank’.

On Saturday, March 5, the Friends of Wollumbin Landcare will honour her with a tree planting in an area to be known as ‘Elizabeth’s Corner’. Locals are invited to join the project from 8am, meeting at Kyogle Road, 2.5km south of Byangum Bridge. The revegetation project has seen thousands of trees established on public land, and is a joint riparian venture with Tweed Shire Council. For info call Roland on 02 6679 5879.
