Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya)





It is hereby notified for public information and comment that Council has received an application from Mr John Clunies-Ross, a West Island resident, seeking the approval of Council to develop a caretaker’s residence at the Clam Farm. The proponent has advised that the dwelling will not be used by him, instead it will be by a person that is employed part time at the Clam Farm. The Cocos (Keeling) shire town planning scheme, allows council to approve caretakers dwellings on general rural zoned land subject to advertising. Changes to the R codes has allowed for an increase from 60m2 to a maximum 70m2 habitable space. The limitation of only 1 bedroom has also been removed. The Shire has previously required that the “applicant for a caretakers dwelling is to give a written undertaking that the Caretaker’s dwelling is not to be used for any other purpose than for the sole occupancy for the applicant, it shall not be sublet, or leased to any other person for any other use whatsoever. However, should the applicant intend being off island for an extended period of time, the dwelling may be occupied by another person providing approval is requested and given (in writing) by Council” and seeks the community views on whether this restriction should be removed and / or altered and under what conditions. The Shire also welcomes any other comments regarding the above application and further information in relation to this application can be obtained from the undersigned at the Shire Office on 91626649. Written comments regarding the proposal must be submitted to the Council on or before COB Friday 11th September 2015. Aaron Bowman Chief Executive Officer

Clam Farm Caretakers Residence

In November 2014 the Cocos (Keeling) Islands took centre stage to commemorate the century of “The Battle of Cocos” and revealed its history in a week long event. It was Australia’s first naval battle between HMAS Sydney and SMS Emden which occurred in the waters surrounding our Islands on the 9th of November 1914. During the commemoration event the Ayesha Life Buoy was presented to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Shire Council. In March of this year the Maritime Museum of Australia Project Support Scheme announced funding opportunity for

grants up to $10,000 to regional museums and organisations to help preserve or display objects of national and historical maritime significance. We submitted our application requesting $8,900 for our ‘Interpretation Plaque of the Schooner Ayesha Life Buoy’ project. In June we were advised our application was successful. We thank the Australian Federal Government and the Australian National Maritime Museum for the provision of the funds. The Ayesha Lifebuoy will be housed in a display cabinet and placed at the Shire Office foyer on Home Island soon with expression of interest to also share the display between the two Islands for events associated with the relic. This historical relic is more than 100 years old and the desire to preserve it is of high priority. Since 1995, the scheme has given over $1,000,000 to organisations in Queensland, New South Wales (including Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands), Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

Releasing chickens behind backyards Shire Ranger (Razali Zainiel) have noticed that numerous chickens have been released behind resident backyards. We would like to remind residents that these sorts of behaviours are not appropriate in our local community. We advise those who are responsible to stop immediately before further action is taken. We also would like to remind that keeping chickens over 3 months on the ground behind backyard is not permitted. We advise that all chicken pens should have in place a pan to catch chicken waste and to protect chicken waste from filtering through to our fresh water lens. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Razali on 91626649 or email [email protected] Thank you for your Co-operation

Lepas Ayam dibelakang Kebon Shire Ranger (Razali Zainiel) telah melihat berberapa ayam yang dilepas dibelang kebon, Kami mengingati penduduk yang tindakkan sedemikian tidak

dibenarkan dimasyarakat kita. Kami nasihat semua yang bertanggungjawab untuk berenti sebelom kami mengambil tindakkan selanjutnya. Kami mengingati yang menyimpan ayam lebih daripada 3 bulan diatas tanah tidak dibenarkan. Kami menasihati yang semua kandang ayam mesti ada papan tangkisan untuk najis-najis ayam dan menjaga supaya tidak mengotori sampai ke ayer dibawah tanah. Jika ada kekuartiran apapa, silah hubungi Razali dinomor 91626649 atau email [email protected] Terima kasih atas kerjasama semua.

Quote of the Day

“Success is perceptible ... We can touch it, smell it and taste it." ~

Mohammed Sekouty

Thought for the Day

Honest

An investment counsellor decided to go out on her own. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized that she needed an in-house counsel. She began to interview young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an honest lawyer?"

"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for my education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case."

"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"

The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued me for the money."

A Doctor’s Lecture

A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

Did You Know???


How To Compost The average household throws away about 25 percent of its food. But if we composted that stuff, we would lighten landfill loads while creating nourishment for gardens and lawns. How do you start? Get a bottomless plastic, metal, or wooden container that holds about 80 gallons, or 10 cubic feet. Place it on the ground in a shady area of your yard. On the kitchen counter, set a small lidded container for catching compostables as you cook. What foods can go in the compost bin? Fruit peels, coffee grounds (and paper filters), eggshells, leftover vegetables. Don’t compost meat, cheese, or fish, because they attract animals. And skip cooking o i l , wh ich d raws insec ts . What else? Any and all organic matter, dry materials, like torn-up newspaper, twigs, dead leaves, and paper plates. These items contain carbon, which gives the microbes that decompose the pile the energy necessary to work their magic. Food and other moisture-rich items, like grass clippings, supply the protein that microbes need to reproduce. Is there any upkeep? Watch the moisture level. The pile should be damp, like a wrung-out sponge—not soaking, like a swamp, or dry enough to blow around. If it’s too dry, sprits it with the hose. Too wet? Add shredded newspaper or wood chips. What about the smell? Maintain a thick layer of dry stuff, like dead leaves, at the top of the pile, and cover new food scraps with old compost. (Have a small shovel handy for this purpose.) How can you tell when a pile has decomposed? It usually takes four to six months for compost to turn into dark brown or black soil with a nice, earthy aroma. Once most of your pile fits this profile, take away the bin and let the finished compost continue to break down in your yard for a few weeks. Put the bin in a new spot to start a fresh pile. Kick it off by scooping in anything from the old pile that’s not quite decomposed. Finally, how can you use compost? Think of it as food for dirt. Spread it over your lawn to nourish the grass, or mix it into garden soil.

Tax scam still causing problems The number of people contacting Consumer Protection to report they’ve received a call or email from scammers pretending to be from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) continues to rise – 300 calls were received in May alone! The scammer usually calls and leaves a message warning that there is a criminal case against you for tax evasion/fraud and tells you to contact the ATO immediately, using the number that they provide, or you will face legal action. Don’t call the number they provide! If you get a call from anyone who says they are from the government or police ask for their name and number and say you will return their call – or better still, ask them to put something in writing and send it to you. Never give them your full name and address – remember if they are who they say they are, they already have all your details. Instead of calling the number they give, do some research of your own to find out the agencies real advertised contact number. For example the ATO’s switchboard is 13 28 69. Give them a call to see if there really is a problem. Also remember the government and the police will never ask you to pay them by:

Wire transfer e.g. Western Union or MoneyGram. Electronic vouchers like Ukash; Prepay card at the post office e.g. Loan&Go; or Bank transfer using account numbers given to you over the phone.

However, scammers often use these to receive their payments. Scams are getting better and can sound very realistic so contact Consumer Protection if you have any concerns. Phone 1300 30 40 54 or contact me by email at [email protected]

Penipuan tax masih menyebabkan masaalah Jumlah orang-orang yang menghubungi Consumer Protection untuk melaporkan mereka menerima telifon atau email daripada penipu yang berpura-pura mengaku daripda Australian Taxation Office (ATO) terus bertambah – 300 telefonan diterima dalam bulan May sahaja! Orang penipu ini biasa menelefon dan meninggalkan pesan memberi amaran yang ada kes jenayah terhadap kamu untuk pengelakkan tax/penipuan dan memberitahu kamu untuk menghubungi ATO dengan segera, menggunakan nomor talipun yang mereka berikan, kalau tidak tindakkan legal akan diambil terhadap kamu. Jangan telefon nomor yang mereka berikan! Kalau kamu dapat telefon dari sesiapa yang bilang mereka daripada kerajaan atau police, tanya nama mereka dan nomor talipun mereka dan bilang kamu akan telefon mereka kembali - atau yang lebih baik, suru mereka hantar surat kepada kamu. Jangan beri mereka nama penoh dan alamat kamu - ingat kalau memang mereka daripada pihak yang mereka bilang, mereka sepatutnya sudah ada keterangan kamu semua. Daripada menelefon nomor yang mereka kasi, selidik dahulu dan cari nomor talipun ajensi itu yang diadvertais. Contohnya switchboard ATO ialah 13 28 69. Talipun mereka untuk lihat apa betol ada masaalah. Juga ingat yang kerajaan dan police tidak akan pernah memintak bayaran daripada kamu melalui:

Wire transfer seperti Western Union atau MoneyGram. Voucher Electronik seperti Ukash; Prepay card di post opis seperti Loan&Go; atau Bank transfer menggunakan nomor yang mereka kasi ditalipun.

Walaubagaimanapun, penipuan sering menggunakan cara ini untuk dapatkan bayaran. Penipuan lebih hari lebih hebat dan dengarnya sangat betol jadi hubungi Consumer Protection jika ada kekuatiran. Talipun 1300 30 40 54 atau hubungi saya secara email di [email protected]

About Wills - Article 1 This is another in a series of very short articles about legal issues that may interest people. The articles are not meant to be legal advice for individual situations and you should always obtain individual legal advice.

We will talk about wills in this and the next two articles. It is recommended that you read all three articles.

What is a will?

A will is a legal document that sets out how you want all of your property to be distributed when you die. Your property is called your “estate.” If you want your property to be distributed in the way that you want, you must make a will. The people you leave your estate or part of your estate to under your will are called “beneficiaries.”

What if I die and I have not made a will?

If you die without having made a will, this is called dying “intestate.” Your property is divided up in accordance with a formula under a law called the Administration Act 1903 (WA)(CI). It is identical to the Western Australian legislation of the same name. The way your estate is distributed under the formula may be against your wishes. That is why it is important to make a will.

When can I make a will?

You can make a will when you are 18 years of age or over. You must also be sound of mind to make a will. This means that you must have the capacity to know what you are doing.

What if I marry after I have made my will?

The Wills Act 1970 (WA)(CI) provides that marriage revokes (cancels) a will, unless the will was made “in contemplation of marriage.” Your will should expressly say that it was made “in contemplation of marriage” if you are making your will intending that it stay valid once you marry.

What if I divorce after I have made my will?

If you divorced on or after 9 February 2008 your divorce revoked (or will revoke) your will, unless it is clear that you do not want the will to be revoked by the divorce. However, just separating from a spouse to whom you are formally married does not revoke a will. If you are separating or have separated, but not divorced, you should make a new will if your current will no longer represents what your wishes are.

What are the legal requirements for making a valid will?

To make a valid will, there are certain things that have to be done. Sometimes, the Supreme Court of Western Australia can give effect to an invalid will, but it depends on the circumstances.

First of all, to be valid, a will must be in writing. It can be hand-written or it can be typed.

Secondly, it must be signed by the will-maker in the presence of 2 witnesses who watch the will-maker sign the will. The 2 witnesses must then sign the will in the presence of each other and in the presence of the will-maker. So all 3 people must sign at the same time, whilst together, with the will-maker signing first.

The witnesses should also put their full names and addresses under their signature and it can be helpful for them to also put their occupation. The will should be dated when it is signed. It is recommended that your witnesses are not beneficiaries under your will, or the husband or wife of any beneficiary.

There are more special requirements if you cannot understand English very well.

As the will-maker, you are called the “testator” if you are male and the “testatrix” if you are female.

In the next wills article, we will talk about the ways of making a will, whether it can be challenged, where to keep it and reviewing it. In the third article we will talk about the usual or necessary clauses in a will.

Tentang Wasiat- Article 1 Ini adalah sebahgian daripada berberapa article pendek tentang perkara-perkara legal yang mungkin ada yang berminat. Article ini bukan untuk digunakan sebagai nasihat menurut undang-undang untuk keadaan tersendiri dan kamu seharusnya meminta nasihat khas untuk diri sendiri.

Kami akan berbincang tentang wasiat kali ini dan dalam two article yang akan datang. Di nasihati untuk kamu membaca ketiga-tiga article ini.

Apa itu wasiat?

Wasiat adalah dokumen legal yang menyatakan bagaimana kamu mau harta keduniaan kamu dibagi bila kamu meninggal. Harta kamu dipanggil “estate”. Jika kamu mau harta kamu dibagi secara yang kamu maukan, kamu mesti membuat wasiat. Orang-orang yang kamu tinggalkan harta kamu didalam wasiat dinamakan “beneficiaries.”

Bagaimana kalau saya minggal dan tidak dapat membuat wasiat?

Jika kamu meninggal tanpa membuat wasiat, ini dinamakan meninggal “intestate.” Harta kamu dibagi menurut formula dibawa undang-undang yang bernama Administration Act 1903 (WA)(CI). Ia sama dengan undang-undang Western Australian dibawa nama yang sama juga. Cara harta kamu dibagi menurut formula ini mungkin bertentangan dengan kemauhan kamu. Inilah pentingnya untuk membuat wasiat.

Bila boleh saya membuat wasiat?

Kamu boleh membuat wasiat bila kamu 18 tahun keatas. Kamu juga mesti waras bila membuat wasiat. Ini bermaksud yang kamu mesti berkemampuan untuk mengetahui apa yang kamu buat.

Bagaimana kalau saya berkahwin setelah membuat wasiat?

Wills Act 1970 (WA)(CI) menerangkan yang pekahwinan membatalkan sebuah wasiat, kecuali wasiat dibuat dalam “pertimbangan untuk berkahwin” jika membuat niat yang ia tetap dipergunakan setelah kamu berkahwin.

Bagaimana kalau saya bercerai setelah membuat wasiat?

Kalau kamu bercerai pada hari atau setelah hari 9 February 2008 ceraian kamu membatalkan (atau akan membatalkan) wasiat kamu, kecuali dinyatakan yang kamu tidak mau wasiat kamu dibatalkan oleh peceraian. Tetapi, dengan pepisahan dengan pasangan kamu, bukan ceraian, yang kamu telah berkahwin denganya, kamu mesti membuat wasiat baru jika wasiat kamu itu tidak lagi menyatakan tujuan permintaan kamu.

Apakah keperluan menurut undang-undang untuk membuat wasiat yang sah?

Untuk membuat wasiat itu sah, ada berberapa perkara yang mesti dibuat. Kadangkala, Supreme Court of Western Australia boleh memberi hasil wasiat yang tidak sah, tetapi itu menurut keadaan.

Pertama, untuk pengesahan, wasiat mesti secara tertulis. Boleh ditulis dengan tangan ataupun di type.

Kedua, mesti di sain oleh orang yang membuat wasiat dalam kehadiran 2 orang saksi yang melihat orang yang membuat wasiat itu sain wasiatnya. Kedua-dua saksi mesti sain wasiat itu dalam kehadiran sesama dan dalam kehadiran orang yang punya wasiat. Jadi semua 3 orang mesti sain dalam masa yang sama, selagi bersama-sama, dengan orang yang punya wasiat yang sain dahulu.

Saksi-saksi mesti meletak nama penuh mereka dan alamat mereka dibawah sainan mereka dan boleh dapat membantu jika mereka juga menyatakan kerjaan mereka. Wasiat mesti nyatakan haribulan bila disain. Dinasihat yang saksi-saksi kamu bukan “beneficiaries” (orang yang kamu bakal meninggalkan harta kamu) dalam wasiat kamu, atau suami atau isteri daripada “beneficiary” itu.

Ada banyak lagi keperluan-keperluan yang penting jika kamu tidak memahami English dengan baik.

Sebagai pembuat wasiat, kamu dipanggil “testator” jika kamu lelaki dan “testatrix” jika kamu perempuan.

Dalam article wasiat seterusnya, kami akan bicarakan tentang cara untuk membuat wasiat, apakah boleh dilawan, dimana untuk menyimpannya dan cara pemeriksaannya. Article yang ketiga akan membicarakan tentang ‘clause’ dalam wasiat yang biasa dan diperlukan.
