A Bunny Story
Once upon a time there was a man who was peacefully driving down a windy road. Suddenly, a bunny skipped across the road and the man couldn't stop. He hit the bunny head on. The man quickly jumped out of his car to check the scene. There, lying lifeless in the middle of the road, was the Easter Bunny. The man cried out, "Oh no! I have committed a terrible crime! I have run over the Easter Bunny!" The man started sobbing quite hard and then he heard another car approaching. It was a woman in a red convertible. The woman stopped and asked what the problem was. The man explained, "I have done something horribly sad. I have run over the Easter Bunny. Now there will be no one to deliver eggs on Easter, and it's all my fault." The woman ran back to her car. A moment later, she came back carrying a spray bottle. She ran over to the motionless bunny and sprayed it. The bunny immediately sprang up, ran into the woods, stopped, and waved back at the man and woman. Then it ran another 10 feet, stopped, and waved. It then ran another 10 feet, stopped, and waved again. It did this over and over and over again until the man and the woman could no longer see the bunny. Once out of sight, the man exclaimed, "What is that stuff in that bottle?" The woman replied, "It's hare spray. It revitalizes hare and adds
permanent wave."

Western Australian citizens are grasping the age-old problem of doing away with plastic in their lives as a July 1 ban kicks in, banning the use of single-use
plastic bags for good.
Residents are taking a step by step approach to downgrading their dependence on plastic one
product at a time.
The issue has become more of a lifestyle issue for some families as lightweight single-use plastic bags will be banned statewide in Western Australia, in line with bans in South Austral ia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and the Australian Capital
Territory.
Those that are already shedding plastic from their lives say that it is a pragmatic, slow approach. T h i s i n c l u d e s c u p s , straws, plates, cling wrap, containers and plastic packaging

KUMPULAN PENASIHAT KESIHATAN BARU DI COCOS
Kedua-dua Kumpulan Penasihat Kesihatan di Pulu Christmas dan Pulu Cocos (Keeling) ditubuhkan oleh Territories Minister pada 2017 untuk memberikan majlis untuk wakil-wakil masyarakat untuk menasihati mengenai serbis-sebis kesihatan dan imengetahui tentang keperluan kesihatan yang timbul di Christmas dan
Cocos.
Lima memba-memba voluntir dalam Kumpulan Penasihat Kesihatan Cocos, dipilih dari kedua-dua Home Island dan Pulu Panjang, ialah Narelle Cahill, Seriwati Iku, Zakaria Lakina, Aindil Minkom and Siti Yaserie. Administrator untuk Indian Ocean Territories, Natasha Griggs, memimpin Kumpulan ini dan Indian Ocean Territories Health Service (IOTHS) menyokong Kumpulan ini dengan stasitik terbaru dan surat-surat
perbincangan.
Kumpulan Penasihat Kesihatan Cocos mengadakan mitingannya yang pertama pada January dan April tahun ini, dan baru-baru ini pada hari Rebo, 9 May di Home Island. Walaupun Kumpulan ini boleh memandangkan berberapa perkara-perkara kesihatan di Cocos, telah dipersetujukan pada mulanya untuk focus dalam tiga bahgian iaitu kesihatan anak-anak, gaya kehidupan yang sihat dan kesihatan mental
(fikiran).
Sejauh pada tahun ini Kumpulan ini telah memberi pandangan kepada konsultan menyatukan stratgi untuk IOTHS di Cocos. Kumpulan ini telah bersenang hati dengan mesin mammogram baru di Cocos dan menyokong penerusan dan perkembangan usaha kesihatan diantara Sekolahan dan Pusat Kesihatan. Dimitingan Kumpulan ini pada May, Community Social Worker baru, Narelle Whatley, menerangkan tugas-tugasnya dengan memba-memba. Topik masa hadapan akan termasuk National Disability Insurance
Scheme dan Tele-Health.
Kumpulan ini akan sering melapor ke masyarakat mengenai miting-miting mereka. Penduduk Cocos dijumput
untuk memajukan perkara-perkara kesihatan dengan memba-memba dari Kumpulan Penasihat Kesihatan.

THE NEW HEALTH ADVISORY GROUP ON COCOS
The two Health Advisory Groups on Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands were established by the Territories Minister in 2017 to provide a forum for community representatives to advise on health services
and identify emerging health needs on Christmas and Cocos.
The five volunteer members of the Cocos Health Advisory Group, drawn from both Home and West Islands, are Narelle Cahill, Seriwati Iku, Zakaria Lakina, Aindil Minkom and Siti Yaserie. The Administrator of the Indian Ocean Territories, Natasha Griggs, chairs the Group and the Indian Ocean Territories Health Service
(IOTHS) supports the Group with up-to-date statistics and discussion papers.
The Cocos Health Advisory Group had its first meetings in January and April this year and met most recently on Wednesday, 9 May on Home Island. While the Group can look at a range of health issues on Cocos, it has decided to initially focus on the three main priority areas of child health, healthy lifestyles and mental
health.
So far this year the Group have provided input to the consultants developing the new strategy for the IOTHS on Cocos. The Group has welcomed the new mammogram machine on Cocos and encouraged the continuation and expansion of joint health initiatives between the School and the Health Service. At the Group‘s meeting in May, the new Community Social Worker, Narelle Whatley, discussed her role with
members. Future topics for discussion will include the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Tele-Health.
The Group will report regularly to the community on their meetings. Cocos residents are invited to raise health
service issues with the members of their Health Advisory Group.
The first police force in Australia was made up of the best-behaved convicts when, in 1789, the Night Watch and the Row Boat Guard were appointed by Governor Arthur
Phillip.
Tips for Kids:
Get kids involved in growing fruit, vegetables or herbs in your own garden. Children can be more willing to try fresh herbs and vegetables if they have been involved with growing
them.
Add grated vegies to any mince dish. Adding grated vegies to salads also really
bulks up the dish.
Don‘t use unhealthy food treats as a reward – this could set them up with unhealthy habits for life when it comes to
emotional eating.
Use up older vegies by adding
them to wholemeal muffins.
Make healthy eating a family affair. Try putting a chart on the fridge that has spaces for everyone to fill in how many serves of fruit, vegies and dairy and how much water they have
had for the day.
Presentation is everything. Kids love little portions, packets and parcels. Cut healthy sandwiches into fancy shapes with cookie cutters, or serve dinner ‗artfully‘ (eg using vegies
to form smiley face).
Don‘t force your kids to eat if they‘re not hungry Kids are good at listening to their hunger signals – it‘s when we get older we lose touch with them – and will let you know when it‘s time
for them to eat.

Message from the Minister
THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT COMMITS TO THE FUTURE OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND
AND THE COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS
I am pleased to announce new funding of $51.5 million to support the local communities and economic development of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Announced in the 2018-19 Federal Budget, this funding will deliver improved infrastructure and support for air services to the islands. It is a further demonstration of the Coalition Government’s ongoing commitment to the Indian Ocean Territories.
Regular and reliable air services are crucial to maintaining links with mainland Australia, to support tourism and to ensure a consistent delivery of supplies.
The Coalition Government is investing $19.6 million over the next four years to continue the underwriting of air services, currently operated by Virgin Australia Airlines.
The communities are also dependent on reliable port facilities, particularly for access to supplies. The Coalition Government is investing $27.3 million over three years to replace the wharf crane and mooring systems on Christmas Island, and a further $1.3 million over two years to develop business cases for the replacement of other critical port assets on both islands.
A comprehensive study of storm water management systems, which will support upgrades to these systems in the long term, has also received support with $1.3 million allocated to the project. This work will be undertaken in consultation with the Shire of Christmas Island.
A further $2 million will be provided to establish robust asset management systems to better support infrastructure and assets that provide essential services to Island communities. Improving asset management capability, and better managing assets as they age, will contribute to the delivery of quality services, as well as the safety and wellbeing of communities.
To support a strong, coordinated future for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, I am also providing $100,000 for the Regional Development Organisation to develop a strategic plan – ensuring economic and community development is supported across the territories.
As part of the Coalition Government’s commitment to decentralisation, I am also pleased to announce that three Australian Public Service positions in the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities will move from Canberra to Perth. This will better support services to the island communities by strengthening our relationship with service providers in the Western Australian Government.
I am excited by the opportunities these Australian Government initiatives provide to the Indian Ocean Territories and look forward to seeing these initiatives progress first-hand in my role as Minister for Territories.

Pesan dari Minister
KERAJAAN AUSTRALIA MEMBUAT KOMITMEN TERHADAP MASA HADAPAN PULU CHRISTMAS DAN PULU COCOS (KEELING)
Saya bersenang hati untuk mengumumkan duit bantuan baru berjumlah $51.5 juta untuk menyokong masyarakat-masyarakat tempatan dan perkembangan economic di Pulu Christmas dan Pulu Cocos (Keeling).
Diumumkan dalam 2018-19 Federal Budget, duit bantuan ini akan bisa memberikan perbaikkan infrastructure dan menyokong serbis penerbangan ke pulu. Ia merupakan bukti terhadap komitmen yang berterusan oleh Coalition Government terhadap Indian Ocean Territories.
Serbis penerbangan yang biasa dan dipercayai sangat penting untuk menetapkan perhubungan dengan tanah besar Australia, untuk menyokong pelancongan dan untuk memastikan penyediaan barang-barang keperluan yang konsisten.
Coalition Government akan memberikan $19.6 juta didalam masa empat tahun hadapan untuk meneruskan mempertanggungkan serbis penerbangan, yang sekarang dijalankan oleh Virgin Australia Airlines.
Masyarakat juga bergantung dengan fasilitas jembatan yang boleh diharap, lagi-lagi untuk akses barang-barang kiriman. Coalition Government memberikan $27.3 juta dimasa tiga tahun untuk menggantikan kerin jembatan dan sistem pelabuan di Pulu Christmas, dan tambahan $1.3 juta dalam dua tahun untuk membuat kes-kes bisnis untuk penggantian asset-asset penting ports dikedua-dua pulu.
Satu kajian yang mendalam mengenai sistem pengurusan ayer daripada ribut, yang akan menyokong pembaikkan terhadap sistem itu dalam jangkah masa panjang, telah juga menerima bantuan dengan $1.3 juta disampingkan untuk projek ini. Kerjaan ini akan dijalankan dengan kerjasama Shire of Christmas Island.
Lebihnya $2 juta akan diberikan untuk pembangunan sistem pengurusan asset yang kuat untuk lebih menyokongkan infrastructure dan asset-asset yang memberikan serbis-serbis yang diperlukan kepada masyarakat dipulu-pulu ini. Memperbaiki keupayaan mengurusi asset, dan urusan asset yang lebih baik semasa umurnya lebih lama, akan membantu memberikan serbis-serbis lebih baik, dan dalam masa yang sama untuk keselamat dan kesejahteraan masyasakat-masyarakat.
Untuk menyokong masa hadapan yang kuat dan bertujuan untuk Pulu Cocos (Keeling), saya juga memberikan $100,000 kepada Regional Development Organisation untuk menyiapkan strategic plan – yang memastikan pekembangan ekonomik dan masyarakat disokong disekitar territories.
Sebahgian dalam komitmen Coalition Government untuk ‘decentralisation’, saya juga bersenang hati untuk mengumumkan yang tiga tempat kerjaan Australian Public Service dalam Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities akan mengaleh dari Canberra ke Perth. Ini akan lebih menyokong serbis-serbis masyarakat dipulu dengan menguatkan perhubungan kami dengan pemberi serbis di Western Australian Government.
Saya gembira dengan peluang-peluang dari usaha Australian Government memberikan kepada Indian Ocean Territories dan menunggukan untuk melihat usaha-usaha ini maju dalam masa tugas saya sebagai Minister untuk Territories.

Drug offences and you XI – Commonwealth drug offences – pre-trafficking controlled precursors
These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for
your situation.
This is the eleventh article about drug offences under state-based legislation that is applied to Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands and
under Commonwealth legislation.
This is the seventh article about Commonwealth drug offences – that is, offences under Commonwealth legislation. Commonwealth drug of-fences are dealt with by the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (we will call it the Criminal Code (Cth)) and the Criminal Code Regulations 2002
(Cth) (we will call them the Regulations).
This and the next article will be about something called pre-trafficking controlled precursors. A precursor is a substance necessary for the man-
ufacture of the illegal drug.
Pre-trafficking has selling or an intention to sell involved in it. It can be possessing or making the precursor, so as to make an illegal drug, in-tending that you or someone else will sell the drug. Or it can be possessing or making the precursor, and then selling the precursor, believing it
will be used to make an illegal drug. Illegal drugs are called controlled drugs.
What is a controlled precursor?
The Criminal Code (Cth) defines a ―controlled precursor‖ as a substance listed as such by a regulation, or a salt or ester (another chemical
form of the substance) of a listed controlled precursor, or one that is urgently determined by the Minister to be a controlled precursor.
The Regulations contain a schedule listing (naming) them. Examples include pseudoephedrine (a precursor for amphetamine), lysergic acid (a
precursor for LSD) and safrole, isosafrole and piperonal (precursors for ecstasy). The definition does include growing plants.
What is pre-trafficking?
You pre-traffic in a controlled precursor if you:
sell the precursor believing that it will be used to make a controlled drug
make the precursor intending to use it to make a controlled drug and intend to sell the drug or you believe that someone else will
make the precursor intending to sell it to someone and believe that they intend to make a controlled drug or
possess the precursor intending to make a controlled drug and intend to sell the drug or believe that someone else will.
“Marketable” and “commercial” amounts of controlled precursors
In general terms, you can be charged with pre-trafficking the controlled precursor (the least serious charge), or pre-trafficking a ―marketable‖ quantity of the controlled precursor (a more serious charge) or pre-trafficking a ―commercial‖ quantity of the controlled precursor (the most
serious charge).
The schedule in the Regulations that lists controlled precursors also set out the amounts that constitute marketable and commercial quantities
of each precursor.
A ―marketable‖ quantity is usually measured in grams for precursors. Some examples are if you pre-traffic 3.2 grams or more of ephedrine, or
0.003 grams or more of lysergic acid.
A ―commercial‖ quantity is usually measured in kilograms for precursors. An example is if you pre-traffic 1.2 kgs or more of ephedrine.
Pre-trafficking controlled precursors – the offences
If you pre-traffic a controlled precursor you commit an offence. The maximum penalty is 7 years imprisonment or 1,400 penalty units (a penalty unit (PU) is currently $210) or both. This offence can be dealt with by a Magistrates Court if both the accused person and the prosecution agree. If in committing the offence you expose a child under 14 years old to the precursor, or to the manufacture of the precursor, the offence
is aggravated, and the maximum penalty is 9 years imprisonment and/or 1,800 PUs.
If you pre-traffic a marketable quantity of a controlled precursor you commit an offence. The maximum penalty is 15 years imprisonment or 3,000 PUs or both. This offence is indictable only. This means that it can only be dealt with by the District Court and not by the Magistrates Court. If in committing the offence you expose a child under 14 years old to the precursor, or to the manufacture of the precursor, the offence
is aggravated, and the maximum penalty is 17 years imprisonment and/or 3,400 PUs.
If you pre-traffic a commercial quantity of a controlled precursor you have committed an offence. The maximum penalty is 25 years imprison-ment or 5,000 PUs or both. This offence is indictable only. This means that it can only be dealt with by the District Court and not by the Magis-trates Court. If in committing the offence you expose a child under 14 years old to the precursor, or to the manufacture of the precursor, the
offence is aggravated, and the maximum penalty is 28 years imprisonment and/or 5,600 PUs.
With all of the offences mentioned in this article, you can also be found guilty of the offence if you are reckless (careless or unthinking) as to
whether what you are pre-trafficking is a controlled precursor or not.
In the next article we will talk about some legal presumptions that can arise in certain situations. These presumptions can help prove that you
are pre-trafficking in controlled precursors.

Pelanggaran drug dan kamu XI – Pelanggaran menurut Commonwealth – pre-perdagangan ’precursors’ yang dijaga
Ini adalah majalah pendek tentang perkara-perkara perundangan yang munkin menarik perhatian kamu. Ia bukan nasihat legal. Kamu harus selalu mengambil nasihat legal tersendiri untuk keadaan kamu.
Ini majalah kesebelas tentang pelanggaran drug menurut perundangan bedasarkan state yang digunakan di Pulu Christmas dan Cocos (Keeling) Islands dan dibawa perundangan Commonwealth.
Ini majalah ketuju tentang pelanggaran drug menurut Commonwealth - iaitu pelanggaran dibawa perundangan Commonwealth. Pelanggaran drug dibawa Commonwealth diurusi dengan Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (kita panggil Criminal Code (Cth)) dan Criminal Code Regulations 2002 (Cth) (kita akan memanggilnya Regulations).
Majalah ini dan selepasnya tentang sesuatu yang dinamakan ―pre-trafficking controlled precursors‖. Sebuah ‘precursor‘ (pendahulu) adalah sesuatu yang diperlukan untuk membuat drug terlarang.
Pre-perdagangan mengandungi penjualan atau bertujuan untuk menjual terlibat dalam pengertiannya. Ia boleh memiliki atau membuat precursor, untuk tujuan membuat drug terlarang, dengan niat yang kamu atau orang lain yang akan menjualnya. Atau ia boleh diproses untuk membuat precursor, dan menjual precursor itu, dipercayai digunakan untuk membuat drug terlarang. Drug terlarang dipanggil drug terjaga.
Apa itu precursor terjaga?
Criminal Code (Cth) menerangkan ―precursor terjaga‖ sebagai sesuatu yang didaftarkan oleh sebuah undang-undang, atau garam atau ‗ester‘ (satu lagi jenis kemikal dari sesuatu) daripada precursor terjaga yang didaftar, atau satu yang dinyatakan oleh Minister sebagai precursor terjaga.
Regulations mengandungi daftaran (nama-nama) mereka. Contoh-contoh termasuk pseudoephedrine (sebuah precursor untuk amphetamine), lysergic acid (sebuah precursor untuk LSD) dand safrole, isosafrole dan piperonal (precursors untuk ecstasy). Pengertiannya tidak termasuk menanam tumbuhan.
Ada itu pre-perdagangan?
Kamu pre-berdagang dalam precursor terjaga jika kamu:
menjual precursor dalam pengetahuan yang ia akan digunakan untuk membuat drug terjaga
membuat precursor dengan tujuan untuk menggunakannya untuk membuat drug terjaga atau kamu berpengetahuan yang orang lain akan berbuat demikian
membuat precursor dengan niat untuk menjual kepada seseorang dan dalam pergetahuan yang mereka bertujuan untuk membuat drug terjaga atau
memiliki precursor dengan niat untuk membuat drug terlarang dan berniat untuk menjual drug berkenaan atau berpengetahuan yang orang lain akan berbuat demikian.
Jumlah “Marketable” dan “commercial” precursors terjaga
Secara umum, kamu boleh didakwa dengan pre-perdagangan precursor terjaga (dakwaan paling ringan) , atau pre-perdagangan precursor terjaga
jumlah ―marketable‖ (dakwaan yang lebih berat) atau pre-perdagangan precursor terjaga jumlah ―commercial‖ (dakwaan yang paling berat).
Penerangan dalam Regulations yang mendaftarkan precursor terjaga juga menerangkan jumlah ‗marketable‘ dan ‗commercial‘ untuk setiap
precursor.
Jumlah ―marketable‖ biasanya diukur dalam grams untuk precursors. Contoh-contoh ialah kalau kamu pre-berdagangkan 3.2 grams atau lebih
ephedrine, atau 0.003 grams atau lebih lysergic acid.
Jumlah ―commercial‖ biasanya diukur dalam kilograms untuk precursors. Contohnya ialah jika kamu pre-berdagangkan 1.2kgs atau lebih ephedrine.
Kalau kamu pre-berdagang sebuah precursor terjaga kamu melakukan pelanggaran. Hukuman maksimum ialah 7 tahun penjara atau 1,400 unit hukuman (sebuah unit hukuman pada masa ini $210) atau kedua-duanya. Pelanggaran ini boleh diurusi oleh Magistrates Court jika kedua-dua orang yang didakwa dan pendakwanya bersetujuan. Kalau dalam pelanggaran ini kamu menyatakan terlibatnya anak-anak dibawa 14 tahun kepada
precursor, atau perbuatan precursor, pelanggaran ini menjadi lebih berat, dan hukuman maksimum ialah 9 tahun dipenjara dan/atau 1,800 PUs.
Kalau kamu pre-berdagang precursor terjaga berjumlah marketable kamu melakukan pelanggaran. Hukuman maksimum 15 tahun dipenjara atau 3,000 PUs atau kedua-duanya. Ini bermaksud yang ia hanya boleh diurusi oleh District Court dan bukan oleh Magistrates Court. Kalau dalam pelanggaran ini kamu menyatakan terlibatnya anak-anak dibawa 14 tahun kepada precursor, atau perbuatan precursor, pelanggaran ini menjadi
lebih berat, dan hukuman maksimum ialah 17 tahun dipenjara dan/atau 3,400 PUs.
Kalau kamu pre-berdagang precursor terjaga berjumlah commercial kamu melakukan pelanggaran. Hukuman maksimum 25 tahun dipenjara atau 5,000 PUs atau kedua-duanya. Pelanggaran ini dakwaan saya.

precursor, pelanggaran ini menjadi lebih berat, dan hukuman maksimum ialah 28 tahun dipenjara dan/atau 5,600 PUs.
Dengan semua pelanggaran yang telah dinyatakan dalam majalah ini, kamu juga boleh didapati bersalah jika kamu ceroboh (sembarangan saja
atau tidak berfikir) mengenai apa yang kamu pre-berdagangkan itu precursor terjaga ataupun tidak.
Dalam majalah seterusnya kami akan bincangkan tentang berberapa anggapan menurut undang-undang yang boleh terjadi dalam keadaan tertentu.
Anggapan ini boleh membatu kamu membuktikan yang kamu pre-berdagang precursors terjaga.
