7 Quote of the day Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. Zig Ziglar Thought for the day Be simply yourself and don t compare or compete Lao Tzu Joke of the week 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." 2 PERMANENT POSITIONS AVAILABLE POSITIONS: 2 PARKS & RESERVES The Shire currently has the following full-time positions available. 2 x Parks & Reserves General Maintenance Worksperson The Shire is seeking someone who has an interest in horticulture and passion for the general presentation of our islands.

9 Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Green Living Tips 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. People Go Plastic-Free as Australian State Ban Looms 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 Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and the Australian Capital Territory. The members of the Health Advisory Group on Cocos *Left to Right+: Siti Yaserie, Aindil Minkom, Natasha Griggs (Chair), Seriwati Iku, Narelle Cahill, Alanna Watson (IOTHS). Absent: Zakaria Lakina.

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.

12 Public Notices (cont d) Notis-notis Umum (seterusnya) Message from the Minister John McVeigh Minister for Regional Development, Territories and Local Government 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 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.

14 Public Notices (cont d) Notis-notis Umum (seterusnya) 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 offences 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 manufacture 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, intending 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 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 imprisonment 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 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 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.
