Cocos (Keeling) Islands News Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling)

Thank you to all of the past Green Corps participants for attending the reunion on Saturday 20 July at Pondok Indah. Unfortunately not all of the members could attend as some have left the island for many years for work and family commitments.

14 years ago the group were employed on a 6 month contract to un-dertake projects that involved an environmental, heritage and social component. The project included construction of a viewing platform on Direction Island, cleaning the community garden within Oceania House and creating a display of the many variety of plants that adorn the

garden, and propagating many species of natives trees for replanting around the communities of Home and West Island including South Island as well.

Many years have passed and the group have developed and have achieved individual success in the commu-nity. The training provided during the course of the Green Corps Projects have provided them with the strong foundations.

I thank them all for their commitment and dedicated team-work throughout the projects and what they have achieved can be seen and enjoyed by all community members.

Thank you,

Adim Hajat

WORKS UPDATE: The Shire had advertised for

interested people in being employed on a casual basis to

assist in the projects that progress the items from Master

Planning. We welcome our team of casuals and hope

they enjoy contributing to the community via these

important projects.

BERITA KERJAAN: Shire telah advertise bagi orang

yang berminat untuk bekerja sebagai casual untuk

FLOODING ON HOME ISLAND: I would like to

acknowledge the hard working Shire outdoor crew for

their efforts to reduce the impact of flooding from the huge

deluge last Wednesday morning. The rain brought a

massive volume of water and the pumps were put to the

test removing approx 1700 litres of water from the

Kampong per minute. While we recognise that some

homes did still flood, Shire staff were working hard and

using all equipment available to reduce the impact. We

are looking at engaging a hydraulic engineer to advise on

solutions to the flooding problem rather than react without

proper planning. Anyone wanting to discuss this matter

is welcome to contact me at the Shire.

BANJIR DI HOME ISLAND: Saya ingin mengakui kerja

keras bagi perkerja luaran Shire untuk usaha mereka

yang mengurangkan kesan banjir dari hujan yang lebat

pada hari Rabu pagi. Hujan telah membawah air yang

sangat banyak dan pump meluarkan kira-kira 1700 litar

air dalam satu minit dari kampong. Sementara kita

mengakui bahwa berberapa rumah yang banjir, pekerja

Shire bekerja keras dan mengunakan semau peralatan

yang ada untuk mengurangkan kesan ini. Kami sedang

mencari hydraulic engineer untuk mencadangkan

penyelasan kepada masalah banjir tampa bertindak

tampa perancangan yang teratur. Sesiapa yang ingin

berbinchang tentang perkara ini sila hubungi saya di opis

Shire.

These are a few items that I think may be of particular

interest but we are always willing to meet with members of

the community who are interested in knowing more about

Shire activities.

Ini adalah berberapa perkara yang saya ingat mungkin

jadi keminatan tetapi kami selalu sanggup untuk bertemu

dengan penduduk masyarakat yang berminat untuk

mengetahui lebih tentang aktiviti-aktiviti Shire.

10 EASY STEPS TO HELP PROTECT CORAL REEFS

Conserve water: The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater will pollute our oceans. Help reduce pollution: Walk, bike or ride the bus. Fossil fuel emissions from cars and industry raise lead to ocean warming which causes mass-bleaching of corals and can lead to widespread destruction of reefs. Use only ecological or organic fertilizers: These products flow into the water system, pollute the ocean, and can harm coral reefs and marine life. Dispose of your trash properly: Don't leave unwanted fishing lines or nets in the water or on the beach. Any kind of litter pollutes the water and can harm the reef and the fish. S u p p o r t r e e f - f r i e n d l y businesses: Ask the fishing, boating, dive or snorkelling operators how they protect the reef. Be sure they care for the living reef ecosystem and ask if the organization responsible is part of a coral reef ecosystem management effort. Plant a tree: Trees reduce runoff into the oceans. You will also contribute to reversing the warming of our planet and the rising temperatures of our oceans. Practice safe and responsible diving and snorkelling: Do not touch the reef or anchor your boat on the reef. Contact with the coral will damage the delicate coral animals, and anchoring on the reef can kill it, so look for sandy bottom or use moorings if available. Volunteer for a coral reef cleanup: Many people visit a coral reef on their vacation. Spend an afternoon enjoying the beauty of one of the most diverse ecosystems on the Earth. Spread the word: Remember your own excitement at learning how important the planet's coral reefs are to us and the intricate global ecosystem. Share this excitement and encourage others to get involved.

Quote of the Day

“If life becomes hard, soften it with

random acts of kindness.”

Michael Levy

Thought for the Day

Bank Robbery I was sitting on a jury for a trial of a man accused of robbing a bank. There was not enough evidence to convict him, so we had to declare him not guilty. When the foreman announced, “Not guilty!” the defendant jumped to his feet. “Cool!!” he shouted. “Does that mean I get to keep all the cash?”

Not the Scales! Two little kids went in to their parents bathroom and spotted their mother’s scale on the floor. “Whatever you, do,” said the first kid to the second, “don’t step on it.” “Why not?” asked the second. “Because,” replied the first, “every time mom steps on it, she screams.”

Inexperienced Two inexperienced hunters went hunting in the woods. Before long they got lost. “Don’t worry,” said the first hunter, “I heard that when you’re lost you should fire three shots in the air that someone should hear you.” They fired three shots in the air and waited a half hour. They tried again another three and nothing hap-pened. Finally they decided they will try it once more. “This better work,” said the second hunter nervously. “These are our last arrows!”

Joke of the Week

Human fingers can feel objects as small as 13 nanometers. “This means that, if you finger was the size of the Earth, you could feel the difference between houses from cars.

Cocos Islands District High School

Parents and Citizens Association Incorporated

Message from CIDHS P&C

Regarding 2019 School Fete & Auction

Dear Cocos Community,

CIDHS P&C would like to once again sincerely thank all our sponsors and the community for the

very successful 2018 Fete & Auction. Without your generous support, it would not have been possi-

ble.

In 2019, the P&C has continued to subsidise school uniforms for students who have started school-

ing with Cocos Islands District High School for the first time as well as $50 per student for their sta-

tionary orders.

At our recent meeting, the P&C has agreed to further subsidise three sets of uniforms (Top) for stu-

dents who start Year 7. This will commence in 2020. P&C has also agreed to reimburse the School

the following items for 2019 and the total amount is over $11,000.

Sea freight for students’ stationery

Air freight for Kindy uniforms

Students’ Workbooks

Year 9/10 Immersion Program

Year 5/6 Perth Camp

Sadly, this year, quite a few key P&C members will be extremely busy with family commitments e.g.

weddings leading up to the 2019 School Fete & Auction and some will be off island around the Fete

day. After careful discussion and consideration, the P&C committee has therefore decided to make

a few changes to this year’s School Fete & Auction:

The event will be held on Saturday 19th October at Home Island Foreshore with NO live

auction. Details to follow. If there are a reasonable amount of donation items, we may run

a Silent Auction.

P&C will work closely with the School to provide various fun activities for the community on

the day.

Donations of food and toiletry hampers will continue as previous years and they will be run

as raffle prizes.

Showbags will be available as previous years.

Food and drink stalls will be available on the day though the choices of traditional Malay

food may be limited.

We understand that this decision may disappoint some as the Fete & Auction has always been one

of the most exciting events on Cocos. However, the P&C has had to make this decision due to ex-

treme lack of volunteers this year.

In order for the P&C to continue our financial support to our families on the Islands, we will still

need ongoing support from our community and beyond. Therefore, if you wish to donate whether

it is cash, items, sponsorship etc., please feel free to contact the P&C Secretary Helen Liu (Mak

Adam) on 9162 7661 or email [email protected].

“LAWA's IOTs Service is fully funded by the Australian Government”

The criminal offence of burglary II

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 second article about burglary and deals with the “home burglary 3 strike law” and burglaries

being a “serious offence” for bail purposes.

Mandatory gaol for 3 home burglaries

This is often called the “third strike” law. Home burglaries are regarded very seriously by government and

the community.

There is legislation that makes it mandatory (meaning the Court must do it) for the Court to imprison you if

you are being sentenced for your 3rd home burglary (3rd “strike”).

The basic rule on or after 31 October 2015 is that if you are convicted of a home burglary (in a dwelling)

and have 2 previous convictions for home burglaries, you are now on your 3rd “strike”, and you must re-

ceive a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment of 2 years if you are an adult. The term of impris-

onment cannot be suspended.

If you are under 18 years (still a child) you must receive at least 12 months imprisonment or 12 months

detention. If you are still under 18 years when sentenced for a 3rd strike burglary, a Magistrate in the Chil-

dren’s Court may put you on a conditional release order for at least 12 months. This is a detention order

which is served in the community.

What is a “strike”?

From on or after 31 October 2015, if you are convicted of a burglary on a particular day, this is one strike.

So, if you commit one burglary on Monday, then one on Tuesday, convictions for each will result in you

having 2 strikes.

However, if you commit more than one burglary on the same day (regarded as running from midnight to

midnight) all of those burglaries together are considered one strike, even if you are convicted of them on

different days in Court. So, if you commit 2 burglaries on the Monday, that is one strike, even if you are

convicted of them for example a month apart in Court.

Note also that different rules can apply to “strikes” for people under 18 years. One example is not every

home burglary may result in a conviction being recorded for a young person and therefore may not be a

“strike”.

Avoiding mandatory imprisonment

There is one situation which allows the Court to have a discretion in its sentencing, so it can choose to

avoid imposing a mandatory term of imprisonment for a 3rd strike and instead impose a lesser sentence.

This can happen where:

You have been convicted of 2 earlier home burglaries (2 strikes)

and for the latest of the 2 convictions for the 2 prior home burglaries:

a) any order imposed by the Court as a sentence has expired (eg conditional release order,

community based order or intensive supervision order has ceased) or

b) you have paid any fine or

c) you are discharged from any imprisonment sentence or suspended imprisonment order

the home burglary which will constitute your 3rd strike was committed before the home burglary

which was your 2nd strike and

26/07/2019

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis-notis Umum (seterusnya)

the Court considers there are exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances might include

that you have been rehabilitated, it is a very long time since you have offended (for example, the of-

fence that is the 2nd strike was 6 years ago and the offence that would have been your 3rd strike

was 8 years ago) and you may be in very good employment. If there are exceptional circumstances

the Court can consider the historical offence not to be a 3rd strike.

Burglary is a “serious offence” for the purpose of bail

Bail is the conditional release of a person charged with an offence on the basis of a promise to come back

to Court when required. You may have to agree to forfeit money if you do not return to Court, or someone,

called a surety, may have to agree to forfeit money if you do not return to Court when required. There can

be lots of other conditions attached to bail.

Burglary is what is called a “serious offence” for the purposes of bail. There is a list of offences that are

defined as serious offences for the purpose of bail. They are set out in a schedule to the Bail Act 1982

(WA)(CI). .

If you are out on bail for an offence listed as a serious offence, such as burglary, and you allegedly commit

another serious offence (such as another burglary, or one of the other listed serious offences) you will

then generally be refused bail when you come before the Court on the new charge. You will be placed in

custody (“on remand”) until the charges are finally dealt with, unless there are exceptional reasons why

Pelangaran jenayah terhadap pencurian II

Ini adalah majalah-majalah pendek mengenai perkara-perkara perundangan yang mungkin menarik minat

anda. Ia bukan nasihat undang-undang. Kamu mesti selalu mendapatkan nasihat undang-undang

tersendiri untuk keadaan kamu.

Ini adalah majalah yang kedua tentang pencurian berkaitan dengan “pencurian rumah 3 serangan

hunkuman” dan pencurian menjadi “kesalahan serius” bagi tujuan ikat jamin.

Goal wajib untuk 3 pencurian rumah

Ini sering dipanggil undang-undang “ketiga menerang”. Pencurian rumah dianggap sangat serius oleh ke-

rajaan dan masyarakat. Terdapat undang-undang yang menjadikan wajib (bermakna Mahkamah perlu

dilalukan) untuk Mahkamah memasokan anda di penjarah jika anda dihukum untuk pencurian rumah keti-

ga kali (ketiga kali menyerang).

Peraturan pada atau selapas 31hb Oktober 2015 adalah bahwa jika anda tertangkap kerana pencurian

rumah (dalam sebuah tempat tinggal) dan mempunyai 2 hukuman terdahulu untuk pencurian rumah, anda

kini terlah berlakukan ketiga kali “menerang”, dan anda mesti menerimah hukuman wajib di penjarah

sepanjang 2 tahun jika anda orang dewasa. Masa penjaraan tidak boleh ditundah.

Jika anda umur 18 tahun kebawah (masih anak-anak) andah mesti menerima sekuang-kurangnya 12 bu-

lan penjara atau 12 bulan dalam tahanan. Jika anda masih 18 tahun kebawah masah dihukum bagi 3 kali

menerang, Majistret di Mahkamah Anak-anak mungkin boleh meletakan anda di suatu perintah pembeba-

san bersyarat untuk sekurang-kurangnya 12 bulan. Ini adalah suatu perintah tahanan yang dijalankan di

masyarakat.

Apakah artinya “menyerang”?

Dari atau selepas 31hb Oktober 2015, jika anda ditangkap untuk pencurian pada hari tetentu, ini adalah

menyerangan yang pertama. Jadi, jika anda ditangkap membuat satu pencurian hari Senin, dan hari

Selasa, kesalahan masing-masing akan mengakibatkan anda mempunyai 2 kali menyerang. Tetapi, jika

anda melakukan lebih dari satu pencurian pada hari yang sama (dianggap sebagai

26/07/2019

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis-notis Umum (seterusnya)

menjalankan dari tengah malam ke tengah malam) semua pencurian itu dianggap satu kali menerang,

walaupun anda akan dihukum kesalahan pada hari-hari berbeza di Mahkamah. Jadi, jika anda melakukan

2 pencurian hari Senin, itu serangan pertamana, walaupun anda dihukum contohnya sebulan selain di

Mahkamah.

Ambil perhatian juga bahwa peraturan berbeza boleh digunakan untuk “serangan’’ kepada orang berusia

18 tahun kebawa. Satu contoh adalah tidak semua pencurian rumah boleh mengakibatkan suatuhukuman

yang direkodkan untuk orang muda dan karena itu mungkin tidak menjadi “serangan”.

Mengindari penjarahan wajib

Ada satu situasi yang membenarkan Mahkamah mempunyai kebijaksanaan dalam hukuman, supaya ia

boleh memlilih untuk menhindari penjaraan yang wajib untuk 3 kalinya menyerang dan sebaliknya me-

letakan hukuman yang lebih rendah.

Ini boleh terjadi dimana:

Anda telah dihukum untuk 2 pencurian rumah sebelumnya (2 menyerangan)

Dan bagi yang terbaru dari 2 hukuman untuk 2 pencurian rumah terlebih dahulu:

a) setiap perintah yang diturunkan oleh Mahkamah sebagai hukuman yang telah berahkir

(contohnya perintah pembebasan bersyarat, perintahan di masyarakat atau perintah pengawasan

intensif telah berahkir) atau

b) anda telah membayar dendah-dendah atau

c) andah dibebaskan dari hukuman penjaraan atau perintah penjaraan ditundah

Pencurian rumah yang membentukan 3 kali serangan yang telah dilakukan sebelum pencurian ru-

mah adalah serangan yang kedua dan

Mahkamah mendapatkan bahwa terdapat keadaan luar biasa. Keadaan luar biasa mungkin terma-

suk yang anda telah memperbaiki suda makan masa yang sangat lama sejak anda melakukannya

(contohnya, penyerangan yang kedua berlaku 6 tahun yang lalu dan penyerangan yang yang mung-

kin untuk penyerangan ketiga kali berlaku 8 tahun yang lalu) dan andah mungkin dalam kerja yang

sangat baik. Jika ada keadaan yang luar biasa Mahkamah boleh menimbangkan kesalahan itu se-

jarah tidak perlu diangap secarah 3 kali penyerangan.

Pencurian adalah “pelangaran serius” bagi tujuan ikat jamin

Jamin adalah pembebasan bersyarat untuk seorang yang di dakwah atas sesuatu kesalahan atas janjian

untuk datang kembali ke Mahkamah apabila diperlukan. Anda munkin perlu bersetujuh untuk membayar

jika anda tidak kembali ke mahkamah, atau seorang, dikenali sebagai penjamin, munkin perlu bersetujuh

untuk membayar jika anda tidak kembali ke Mahkamah apabila diperlukan. Ada juga banyak syarat-syarat

yang lain yang terikat dengan ikatan jamin.

Pencurian adalah yang dipanggil “pelangaran serius” untuk tujuan ikat jamin. Terdapat berbagi kesalahan

yang dicatatkan sebagai kesalahan serious untuk tujuan ikat jamin. Ini telah dinyatakan dalam jadual Bail

Act 1982 (WA) (CI).

Jika anda berada dalam keadaan ikat jamin bagi sesuatu kesalahan yang serius, seperti pencurian, dan

anda dituduh melakukan kesalahan yang serius (seperti pencurian yang lain, atau sala satu daripada

kesalahan yang serius) anda kemudian akan ditolak jaminan ketika anda datang menhadapi Mahkamah

pada tunduhan yang baru. Anda akan diletakan dalam jagaan (“dalam masah pertahanan”) sehingga yang

didakwah telah diuruskan, kecuali jika ada alasan yang luar biasa mengapa anda tidak harus ada di da-

lam tahanan.

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 c o n t a i n e r f o r c a t c h i n g 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 oil, which draws insects. 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.
