What a wasteland Christmas television viewing generally is. Among the better offerings are: 1. The Australian movie Hey Hey It’s Esther Bluberger (Prime, Friday Dec 24, 8.30pm), in which a young teenager learns to break free of conformity, as they do. 2. Kung Fu Panda Holiday (ABC1, Saturday Dec 25, 6pm) has not only kung fu and a panda but also a holiday. 3. ’s A Christmas Carol (ABC1, Sunday Dec 26, 7.30pm) sets out to prove that Santa is science fiction, just as Charles Dickens was an interstellar traveller with a penchant for maudlin fiction. By this stage you will have 1 2 3 eaten too much cake, and will long for a time machine.

Mayor Kevin Skinner com- plained this week that the coun- cil had been left ‘in the dark’ by the state government over its controversial push to build a dam on Byrrill Creek, with protesters given more informa- tion than council staff, with a letter from the water minister announcing a ban on any new dam. The mayor may also want some light shone on what min- isterial sources think of his fac- tion’s relentless drive, against all expert advice, for the new dam. QQQQ Backburner has been told that the mayor was ‘barking up the wrong tree’ and ‘grasping at straws’ if he thought the dam could still go ahead after the lat- est state government decision, and that he had gone in ‘half cocked’ in suggesting to media Tweed amateur fisherman Steve is proud of Dave says that during the festive season he that another department could this nice trevally he caught, drawing the atten- tries to ‘hide from the crowd and head into the overrule the decision.
