Road rage
R Finn, Tyalgum My partner and three children were first on the scene at the recent fatality on Tyalgum Rd. Our local farmer was second. Road fatalities leave behind traces that impact not only on families of those affected directly, but those that must deal with the sights, sounds, and emotions in the immediacy of these incidents prior to the expertise of ambos arriving. Kids dont always articulate their questions directly but as a parent we suspect that when they are confronted with screaming, blood, and a car crumpled beyond

More pleas for koala trees
David Brown, Mullumbimby Creek Dear [Byron Shire] Councillors, My email last Tuesday to alert you of the potential removal of valuable koala habitat at 11 Grand Valley Court resulted, predictably, in total silence. I was not even paid the courtesy of a Thank you for your information reply from any of you! Furthermore, a followup email from Jane Wickers does not appear to have provoked any response. Taking a position that an approval has been granted Fiona Nash, deputy leader, Nationals in the Senate Id like to encourage local not-for-profit groups to consider applying for a federal Volunteer Grant of between $1,000 and $5,000. The Volunteer Grants, formerly known as the Volunteer Small Equipment Grants, were an initiative of the Liberal-National Howard government in 2003 and have helped many, many local groups achieve more for their local community over the years. Local volunteers do great local work and so it is good to see an opportunity for

Article News Corp split signals big changes for Murdoch papers
Paul Barry of The power Index If Rupert Murdoch goes ahead and cuts his newspapers adrift from the hugely profitable movie and cable-TV business at News Corp, there will be big changes which will put yet more pressure on journalists and journalism. The movie studios and global pay-TV empire currently make about 90 per cent of News Corps US$5 billion annual profit, and their money has been available to fund Ruperts favourite newspapers like The Times in London, The New York Post and our own national paper The Australian. If the two parts of the News Corp business are separated into two companies with different shareholders and separate list-

ings, it will be absolutely impossible to continue that cross-subsidy. And the newspapers, which make very little money on aggregate, will have to cut their cloth accordingly. As Murdochs biographer Michael Wolff writes in the UK
Since the first SlutWalk in Toronto in April last year, groups around the world have taken to the streets of their local towns and cities wearing what they want. In Byron Bay, where more than 200 people walked in Saturdays inaugural event, organisers chose a red-and-black theme. But the message was the same: reclaim the name and reject the shame.

Melissa Hargraves People concerned about the impacts of coal-seam gas (CSG) mining can now be entertained by a show on the very same subject! Echonetdaily was invited in for a
sneak preview during dress rehearsals. An amateur troupe, led by prominent community theatre director Ollie Heathwood, have created Coal-Seam Gas The Musical. In response
to the threat of CSG mining in the northern rivers, Ollie came out of almost 10 years of retirement to contribute to this campaign in the only way she knew how. Ollie shows no signs of
