Tweed Council has adopted radical changes to its media policy in an attempt to muzzle coun- cillors from publicly disclosing information not contained in public documents or officially sanctioned press releases. Under the changes, councillors face a blanket ban on releasing to the media any information from within the council and specifically prohib- its them from disclosing any details of conversa- tions they have with colleagues or council staff. It also prevents them from releasing any emails, letters, memos or reports between coun- cillors and staff whether they are classified as confidential or not or disclosing any informa- tion they receive at council workshops. The controversial amendments were adopted in a 5-2 vote on Tuesday night following a fiery debate with only Mayor Joan van Lieshout and Greens councillor Katie Milne opposed to the shake-up. The one-off review was triggered after Cr theatre of the absurd meets cirque Berzerk meets Burlesque when cabaret 360 hits the stage at the Uki Hall on Friday 31.

Needing party herbs for Splendour? H In all Your Splendour Looking for a high? H H A whole yeAr hAs come And gone, And for those Ardent devotees Naturally! - Legally! of the cult of splendour it’s time once again to travel to their musical mecca to pay homage to some of the most cutting edge indy bands in the world. South Byron Plaza Cherry Pop and this year’s headline is held by Bloc Party and the flaming lips and the happy Saturday Buzz on special mondays perform their only Aussie show. Next to Woolworths $ Open 7 days a week 20 securing a ticket to splendour has become as difficult as winning lotto with on line sales clearing the decks in just an hour. for those who have secured a ticket it’s good news, and with current accurate Id then it’s no probs. for those who haven’t got a ticket the message from the organisors is don’t bother turning up as this year, as in years past there will be a zero tolerance for fence jumpers. splendour in the grass producer Jessica ducrou said, ‘fence jumping is trespassing and splendour has a zero tolerance policy towards anyone trying to enter the festival this way. we have had many meetings with the relevant for happy healthy harmless hangover-free authorities regarding this matter and as a result have substantially upgraded Hippy horny high herbs our security, police presence and fencing in order to prevent such activities.’ Open 10am - 5.30pm Splendour Weekend security has been stepped up with boundary patrols by security on foot and Hilltop Hoods horseback. there will also be roving police on site and fence jumpers will be detained and escorted to the police office on site.t here’s also some hefty fines The Flaming Lips in place for what may be an olympic sport in years to come, with minimum fees of $350. thats a lot of mcdonalds shifts. I’d be thinking twice about bringing my cache of ecstasy to the festival as well – as this year police will be checking patrons on entry with sniffer dogs. don’t be like the stoned girl I saw last year patting and cooing over the cute little puppy. so if you have a ticket and don’t have drugs then the chances are you will have an excellent time. splendour in the grass are right on target this year with their initiatives to present a responsible and green festival. Patrons were given the opportunity to offset their ‘average’ daily emissions over the duration of the event by way of purchasing a ‘carbon offsett icket’. Apart from greenhouse gas emissions another environmental issue that requires careful management is solid waste. with 5 recycling centres located next to each of the bars, 180,000 drink containers were returned for recycling last year, which was an amazing effort.t his year management is planning on shooting for the dizzying heights of a 95% recycling rate. the crew at splendour are keen to create a rich festival feel on site so that time away from the main stage will provide a thrill in itself. there’s the global village where there will be a range of moves from all corners of the globe and punters will be workshops and performances in dance styles ranging from ancient traditions able to sample the deceptively beautiful art of capoeira, to modern fusion. the temple stage will serve up a tantalising variety of embody the latest in hip hop, or partake in traditional Aboriginal steps. lovers of dance can indulge in the Bloc Party movement towards conscious dance with classes from five rhythms to Kundalini dance to nia dance. solace from the madding crowd and the noise of rock can be gained at the chai tent. Alongside some refreshing and URBAN ART EXHIBITION restorative teas, patrons can partake in some traditional basket weaving or various cultural craft workshops, where you can explore your own creative potential. there is also an impressive arts program with splendour in the Arts. curated by renowned visual artist craig walsh it features everything from naughty santas to sublime snails. local artist Andy forbes and friends return with their annual the tent of miracles – this time in the form of santa’s little sweat shop. mr and mrs claws and all the christmas freaks are wondering have you been bad or good little girls and boys because, as you might have guessed, they’re making a list, checking it twice, and are going to find out if you’re naughty or nice.
