14.4 Mb. 30 Mins. For 13 years, police have tolerated Nimin's Annual Mardi-grass Pot Festival, where revelers behave as if the herb is not prohibited.

How would the hippies react? Could there be a riot at the 2006 Nimbin Mardi-Grass. Produced, recorded and narrated by Don Sharpe |

25 Minutes 17Mb. A review of the police presence in Nimbin before, and during (certainly not after) the Nimbin Mardi-Grass. Regional commander 'Bluey' Lyons gets a gong, and tells the locals what he did to made them happy. According to his interview with regional ABC radio, the locals were begging him for more police, but not everyone agrees. Hear the actuality, police disinformation, and what really happened, and then sit back and enjoy the original Daddy Cool play cops'n hippies with the Bumble Boogie.

Yes - it's Mardi Grass again, I'm afraid ( I'm not really, and ... ) it's Police Presence, Police Presence, and Police Presence. Cute remarks about the NSW Police Ballet Squad, what the Mardi-Grass is really about, watching the Ballet Squad .... " .. the machine easily masters the grim and ridiculous ... " Apparently they can't stop the music, and Green politician Lee Rhiannon agrees .... |

Jack pursues thoughts on chemical smokescreens, but gets back on the track with an aside on the Hispanic uprising in the southwestern States of the (so far) United, States of America. Not molotov cocktails, but a refusal to buy cocktails of any kind! Scarey for US pub owners. Not only pub owners, but Wal Mart, and a host of other consumer outlets who depend on the millions of otherwise 'illegal' immigrants from Mexico ... A consumer strike! Just the thing for illegal workers! Shock waves in the US retail 'industry'. Jack niftily segues into a the corollary - credit addiction!. Bob provocatively suggests a link between credit addiction and the 'pay buy' date, and incidences of domestic violence. All very confusing for the thin blue line of police who are watchfully watching the ideologically illegal drug law reformistas dancing to didgeridoo based star crafted bands with perhaps, a twinge of envy, in the central park of Nimbin. (as I upload this file). A teensy bit of self-adulation for our little community radio station 2nimfm, with a whiff and whurry-som scents emerging from the preproduction room. District police officer Bluey and the thin blue linedancers, and a wrap up with with a tribute to the true and blessed ganja faeries. And by the way - Have a good weekend .... |

29Mb 1hr. 25 Minutes PlaySpace, and Jack's back from his Easter 'break' at Lake Cowal where Barrick's mines are heading for a big bust on their mining venture. Jack has the real dope on the company, the lake, and the sacred land of Lake Cowal. Bob moves us on to the latest outrage against the police presence in Nimbin, after some post-Anzac Day ruminations. While we celebrated the iconic history of Anzac, local authorities were planning the removal of the last surviving remnants of an iconic piece of local Nimbin history - under police protection, of course. Bob rarely needs an excuse to study the behaviour of the police, and he shares his observations of the behaviour patterns of the imported swat squad uniforms - which seems to be becoming assimilated into a kind of driftward mindset. A bit of sci-fi speculation on human behaviour in general, and not quite snide comments of Australian fashion week, winding up with the latest update on the Mulgum House affair. Great radio! |

Bob's Easter Reflections. Bob does the Easter Playspace solo this year, while Jack is away at Lake Cowal trying to save sacred aboriginal sites and wildlife from the multinational corporate gold mining desecration taking place there. Respectfully irreligious, Bob does some delving of his own, into the vestiges of the Gnostic tradition in the history of the Christian Church - who was Philip? Why don't we hear a 'Gospel according to Philip'? Surely this exclusion wasn't politically motivated. Or was it? And surely the persona of Mary Magdalen wasn't 'doctored' to fit official doctrine? Keep your fingers crossed and hold your buns. |
