Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Please be aware of calls from scammers falsely claiming to be from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) or Australian Tax
Office (ATO).
Scammers have recently been calling residents of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands telling them that there is a warrant out for their arrest. The scammers
may spin a range of stories about why an arrest warrant has been issued, including that you have failed to pay taxes. The caller may leave a message
on your answering machine demanding that you call them back. The caller has no connection with the Commonwealth Director of Public
Prosecutions, Australian Taxation Office or any other state or commonwealth department.
Scammers typically ask for money to be sent via wire transfer as it’s nearly impossible to recover money sent this way. They may also ask for people’s
financial and other personal details to access their money and use this information to commit other scams.
If you receive a phone call from someone saying you have an arrest warrant and asking you to pay a fee, hang up and do not respond. If in
doubt, don’t use the contact details provided - look up the government department or organisation yourself in the phone book or online
and phone or email them.
If you have any doubts about the identity of any caller who claims to represent a government department, contact the body directly. Don’t rely on
numbers, email addresses or websites provided by the caller – find them through an independent source such as a phone book or online search.
If you have any concerns about calls of this nature, please contact your local AFP team who will be able to provide advice. You can report scams to
the ACCC via the SCAMwatch report a scam page or by calling 1300 795 995.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Green Living Tips Saving Water in the Garden
Here's some tips for reducing
your garden watering footprint—
and to save some money on
water rates at the same time.
Plant selection
Consider not only your area's
current rainfall, but what's
projected for the future.
Sprinklers
Look to buy a sprinkler that
throws water closer to the
ground in large drops.
Drip irrigation
Drip irrigation consists of a
series of pipes with drippers
hanging off them that deliver
water directly to where it's
needed.
Irrigation timers
If you use an irrigation timer, set
it to run half the normal time,
but run it a second cycle a
minimum of half an hour later.
This will dramatically reduce
runoff.
Watering time
The best time of the day to
water is either just on sunrise or
just on sunset, as this minimizes
water evaporation.
Mulch, mulch, mulch
Mulching is adding layers of
plant material such peastraw or
bark to keep the sun off the soil
and therefore retain water.
Mulching is one of the most
effective ways to reduce water
needed in a garden - up to 50%.
Aerate your lawn and garden
An aerator pulls out small plugs
of soil allowing air and water to
penetrate deeper. Deeper
moisture means deeper root
systems; which makes plants
more resistant to dry spells and
requiring less water.
Make trees a watering priority
Grass may die, but it grows back
quickly, whereas a tree may
take decades to grow. Trees also
provide protection from the
harsh sun for other plants and
can reduce ground temperatures
in a garden substantially. If you
have to choose between
watering your lawn and watering
your trees; prioritize the latter.
Consider a rainwater tank
Given the amount of water
gardens require; consider adding
a rainwater catchment system to
your property - it can help act as
added insurance for a reasonable
supply of water during the dry
months or when your local
authorities
introduce
restrictions.
More tips in next edition...

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) The Yellowedge coronation trout (Variola louti) has many
common names, but is known as a ‘lunar-tail’ on the IOTs
due to its distinct lunar shaped tail and yellow markings. It has
a bright red and orange colour pattern with yellow spots all
over its body. Lunar-tails are a demersal fish (bottom-dwelling),
and can be found on inshore coral reefs and deeper offshore
reefs up to 240m deep. They eat crabs, prawns and other
smaller fish.
Although lunar-tails have a very widespread distribution and
are locally abundant in many parts of its range, species
numbers are thought to have declined sharply over a 20 year
period. They are heavily targeted by fishers at Cocos (Keeling)
Islands and there is growing pressure on this species at
Christmas Island. Lunar-tails are very vulnerable to fishing
when they aggregate for spawning.
Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) trout, are included in this bag limit and have an individual
species bag limit of 4 fish per day. This means that a person
may not take more than 4 coronation trout per day and not
more than 16 demersal fish in total per day.

Public Notices Notis‐notis Umum Criminal offences concerning careless driving, dangerous driving and reckless driving - I
These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always obtain individual legal advice for your
situation.
There are a number of criminal offences associated with bad driving. We will discuss careless driving, dangerous driving, what are “aggravated
circumstances” and the applicable penalties in this article. We will discuss dangerous driving causing bodily harm in the second article, and dangerous
driving causing death or grievous bodily harm and reckless driving in the third article. You should read all 3 articles to understand the offences.
Committing these particular driving offences in “aggravated circumstances”
The Road Traffic Act 1974 (RTA) provides that some driving offences, including the ones to be discussed in these articles, can occur in “aggravated”
circumstances. An aggravated circumstance makes the offence worse and usually, the penalties available to the Court higher.
The aggravated circumstances are:
 You were driving the vehicle without the consent of the owner or person in charge of the vehicle (eg you were driving a vehicle you had
stolen)
 You were driving at 45 kms/hour or more than the speed limit on the road, or the speed limit applicable to the type of vehicle you were driving
 You were driving the vehicle to escape a pursuit by a Police officer (even if the pursuit had finished whilst you were driving)(and note that
“Police officer” on Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands is defined to include Australian Federal Police members or special members)
Careless driving is driving a motor vehicle without enough care and attention. This is the least serious of the bad driving offences. You drive
carelessly if you drive without the normal care and attention that a reasonable and sensible driver would. The penalty for an offence of careless driving
is a fine up to $600 and 3 demerit points. If you have a provisional licence (P plates), it is cancelled and you are disqualified from getting a licence for
3 months.
Dangerous driving is driving a motor vehicle in a way (including by speeding) that is dangerous to the public or to any person, in all the
circumstances of the case.
You do not have to intend to drive dangerously to commit the offence of driving dangerously. The test is objectively whether you are driving
dangerously. You can commit the offence of driving dangerously with only a momentary lapse of your concentration.
There must be a real potential or actual danger to the public or any person. An example might be accidentally mounting the footpath in a suburb in
your vehicle even though it is late at night. If there is someone on the footpath that can be a real actual danger. If there is not, there is still a real
potential of danger because someone might come onto the footpath at any time.
The penalty for a first offence of dangerous driving is a fine up to $3,000. The penalty for a subsequent offence of dangerous driving is a fine up to
$6,000 and imprisonment for up to 9 months. Also, for a subsequent offence, your motor driver’s licence (MDL) must be disqualified for at least 12
months.
If you drive dangerously whilst trying to escape pursuit from a Police officer (one of the aggravating circumstances talked about above), the penalty is
a fine up to $36,000 and imprisonment for up to 3 years and your MDL must be disqualified for at least 2 years.
There are also other offences called dangerous driving causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death or grievous bodily harm.
We will discuss the offences of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death or grievous bodily harm in the next
articles, as well as the offence of reckless driving.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Kesalahan jenayah berkenaan memandu cuai, memandu berbahaya dan memandu sercara ceroboh - I
Ini adalah majalah-majalah pendek tentang perkara-perkara legal yang boleh menarik keminatan kamu. Ia bukannya nasihat legal. Kamu selalu mesti
mendapatkan nasihat legal tersendiri untuk keadaan kamu.
Ada berberapa kesalahan jenayah yang berkenaan dengan memandu (driving) secara jelek. Bila kita berbincangkan memandu ceroboh, memandu
bahaya, apa yang “keadaan menyulitkan” dan hukuman-hukuman berkenaan dalam majalah ini. Kita akan berbincangkan memandu berbahaya yang
menyebabkan kecederaan badan dalam majalah yang kedua, dan memandu berbahaya yang menyebabkan kematian atau kecederaan badan dan
memandu ceroboh dalam majalah ketiga. Kamu mesti membaca semua 3 majalah-majalah ini untuk memahami jenajah-jenayah ini.
Melakukan kesalahan-kesalahan memandu ini dalam “keadaan menyulitkan”
Akta Road Traffic 1974 (RTA) memberikan yang berberapa kesalahan memandu, termasuk yang dibincangkan dalam majalah ini, boleh terjadi dalam
keadaan “menyulitkan”. Keadaan yang menyulitkan membuat kesalahan ini lebih teruk dan biasanya, hukumannya didapati di Court yang lebih tinggi.
Keadaan menyulitkan adalah:
 Kamu memandu kereta tanpa izin orang yang punya atau orang yang menanggung kereta itu (contohnya kamu memandu kereta yang kamu
curi)
 Kamu memandu 45 kms/jam atau lebih speed limit dijalan, atau speed limit yang berkenaan dengan jenis kereta yang kamu memandu
 Kamu memandu kereta untuk melarikan diri dari opisa Police (walaupun kejaran suda selesai dimasa kamu memandu) (dan perhatian yang
“opisa Police” di Pulu Christmas dan Cocos (Keeling) ditegaskan termasuk dalam memba atau memba istimewa Australian Federal Police.
Memandu cuai ialah memandu kereta tanpa peduli dan perhatian secukupnya. Ini adalah kesalahan dengan serious yang berkurangan daripada
yang lain. Kamu memandu cuai jika kamu memandu tanpa peduli dan perhatian yang cukup sepertimana pemandu lain. Hukuman kesalahan ini ialah
denda hingga $600 dan 3 demerit points. Jika kamu masih P plates, ia akan dibatalkan dan kamu di disqualify daripada mendapat lesen hingga 3
bulan.
Memandu berbahaya ialah memandu kereta secara (termasuk speeding) yang merbahaya untuk umum atau sesiapapun, dalam segala keadaan
kes.
Kamu tidak seharusnya mempunyai keniatan untuk memandu berbahaya untuk bertindak dalam kesalahan memandu berbahaya ini. Unjian ialah
objektif bila kamu memandu berbahaya. Kamu boleh melakukan kesalahan memandu berbahaya dengan hanya sekelip masa terlupa atau hilang
konsentrasi saja.
Mesti ada kemungkinan betol atau berbahaya yang jelas kepada umum atau seseorang. Contohnya mungkin kecelakaan naik atas komeng lalu lintas
orang berjalan dalam satu suburb dalam kereta kamu walaupun larut malam. Jika ada sesiapa yang dijalanan lalu lintas itu boleh menjadi berbahaya
yang jelas. Jika tidak ada ianya masih lagi berbahaya yang berkemungkinan sebab mungkin ada seorang yang masuk kejalan lalu lintas itu bila-bila
masa sahaja.
Hukuman untuk kesalahan pertama bersebabkan memandu berbahaya ialah denda sehingga $3,000. Hukuman untuk kejadian yang sama
bersebabkan memandu berbahaya ialah denda sehingga $6,000 dan dipenjara hingga 9 bulan. Juga, untuk kejadian yang sama selepasnya, lesen
driving (MDL) kamu dibatalkan untuk sekurang-kurangnya 12 bulan.
Kalau kamu memandu berbahaya dimasa mencoba lari daripada buruan opisa Police (dalam cara keadaan menyulitkan yang dibincangkan tadi),
hukumannya adalah denda sehingga $36,000 dan dipenjara sehinnga 3 tahun dan MDL kamu dibatalkan untuk sekurang-kurannya 2 tahun.
Ada juga kesalahan-kesalahan lain yang dipanggil memandu berbahaya menyebabkan kecederaan badan dan memandu berbahaya menyebabkan
kecederaan badan yang teruk.
Kita akan berbincangkan kesalahan jenis ini dalam majalah kita yang seterusnya, dan juga kesalah memandu secara ceroboh.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Wise Up To Scams
16 – 20 May is National Fraud Week. Let’s face it, anyone can be the target of a scam. I’ve received quite a
few scam emails myself over the years and even though I hear about them here at Consumer Protection
regularly and know what to look for, I have to admit the scammers are getting much better at their craft. Some
look and sound almost like the real thing.
Here are some of the scams we hear the most about – but remember they change constantly:
Scam #1 Quick! You need to act NOW or risk going to jail/ lose an opportunity to make big money/ a
loved one will suffer!
Scammers often try to create a sense of urgency. They try and pressure you into making a quick decision – a
decision you probably wouldn’t make if you had the time to think things through properly. They do this by
creating short deadlines, fake emergencies or by threatening legal action. Don’t let anyone pressure you into making a snap decision – think
things through - and if you’re still not sure call 1300 30 40 54. We’re here to help.
Scam #2 Send me money. We’re friends right? If you really cared about me you would.
If someone asks you for money and you have any doubts (especially if you only ‘know’ them through the internet and have never met them face to
face), discuss it with someone you trust who you can rely on for an unbiased opinion. If in doubt get a second opinion.
Scam #3 Want to make easy money with huge returns and no risks? Trust me, I’m incredibly successful and willing to share all my tips with
a total stranger like you – and only you.
Don’t respond to emails and phone calls from strangers offering predictions about shares, offering investment tips, or investment advice. Talk to a
financial advisor licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission before agreeing to anything, this might save you a lot of money.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Scam #4 Feeling a bit lonely and looking for love? So am I! I just need a little cash – on a regular basis.
Know who you’re dealing with. Don’t send money to someone you’ve never met in person. If someone approaches you on social media and you don’t
know them, it may be a scam. Dating online has its risks, hard as it might be, don’t give money to strangers you’ve never met.
Scam #5 I need remote access to your computer to fix that computer problem. What, you didn’t know you had a problem? Don’t worry,
you’ll have one soon enough.
If you receive a call claiming to be from Microsoft, Telstra or anyone else telling you your computer has a problem, it is likely to be a scam. Never give
remote access to cold callers offering help with your computer.
Scam #6 Trust me. I work for the Government and I’ve found your lost money. Now all I need are all your personal details - you know, the
kind I should already have on file.
Government agencies will generally write to you if you are entitled to money. If somebody calls you claiming to be from the Government, don’t trust
them. Always get enough information and find independent contact details to check yourself. Government agencies don’t cold call – but
scammers do.
Scam #7 A bank, Telstra or local/overseas government agency wants to provide a refund or provide some other assistance. They know
your email address but – oh no - they don’t have any further details and need you to fill in the blanks online. Don’t be surprised if you give
away more than you realise.
Check the email address. An organisation’s email address should match their website, so telstra.com.au matches @telstra.com.au. Government
agencies around the world should have email addresses which include .gov, for example @accc.gov.au. As a general rule, what comes after the ‘@’
is most important. Scammers will try to make emails look official, for example FBI‑us.gov@usa.com. Businesses and professionals don’t commonly
use free email accounts such as @gmail.com, @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com. Fake scam emails supposedly from banks, utility providers or
email providers are very common – do your research to ensure you don’t get caught.
Scam #8 You’ve won a competition without actually entering it? Talk about lucky! (for the scammer that is … not you)
If you haven’t entered you haven’t won. In fact it’s likely that there is no competition, so if you receive a notification of winnings through social media,
even from friends or family, check with them first, as their account may have been hacked. Some things in life are uncertain – but not this - if you
don’t enter, you don’t win.
It’s important to keep up to date. If you have any questions or comments about scams (or any other consumer issue) please give Consumer
Protection a call on 1300 30 40 54, or email me at joan.susinetti@commerce.wa.gov.au or visit www.scamnet.wa.gov.au.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Pandai-pandailah Dengan Penipuan
16 – 20 May adalah National Fraud Week. Mari mengadap kenyataan, sesiapa saja boleh menjadi target dalam
tipuan. Saya sudah menerima berberapa email tipuan dalam berberapa tahun dan walaupun saya dengar
tentangnya di Consumer Protection lebih gencar dan tahu untuk membezakannya, I rasa tukang menipu ini lebih
pandai dalam bidang mereka. Ada yang kelihatan dan dengarnya seperti yang aslih.
Seterusnya adalah tipuan-tipuan yang kita gencar dengar - tapi ingat yang mereka sering bertukar:
Tipuan #1 Cepat! Kamu perlu bertindak SEKARANG atau risikonya dipenjara/kehilangan peluang untuk
membuat keuntungan uwang yang banyak/seorang yang dicintai akan menderita!
Tukang tipu sering membuat keadaan untuk bertindak dengan segera. Mereka coba dan mendesak kamu untuk
membuat keputusan yang cepat - keputusan yang kamu mungkin tidak akan buat jika kamu ada masa untuk
memikirkannya baik-baik. Mereka membuat ini dengan tanggal-mati yang pendek, emerjensi palsu atau tindakkan mengancam mengikut hukum.
Jangan biarkan orang memaksa kamu untuk membuat keputusan yang cepat - fikirkan sebaik mungkin - dan jika kamu masih kurang pasti
talipun 1300 30 40 54. Kami disini untuk membantu.
Tipuan #2 Kirimkan saya duit. Kita teman, betol? Kalau kamu sangat hargai saya kamu buat.
Kalau seorang meminta duit dan kamu mempunyai kekuatiran (lagi-lagi kalau kamu hanya ‘kenal’ mereka melalui internet dan tidak pernah jumpah
mereka muka ke muka), bincangkan dengan seorang yang kamu percaya yang boleh berikan kamu pandangan yang tidak berat sebelah. Kalau
kuatir dapatkan pendapatan lain.
Tipuan #3 Maukah membuat keuntungan duit yang mudah dengan balasan yang besar dan tidak ada risiko? Percayalah saya, saya sangat
berhasil dan sanggup untuk share semua nasihat dengan orang asing seperti kamu - dan hanya kamu.
Jangan balas email dan talipun daripada orang asing yang menawar ramalan tentang shares, menawar nasihat investment. Bicara kepada penasihat
keuwangan yang dilesenkan oleh Australian Securities and Investments Commission sebelom bersetuju terhadap apapun, ini mungkin boleh dapat
menyimpankan duit kamu. Kalau kedengarannya terlalu bagus sebagai kenyataan, ia mungkin sedemikian.
Tipuan #4 Sedang merasa sendirian dan mencari cinta? Saya pun sama! Saya hanya memerlukan sedikit uwang - yang gencar.
Ketahui dengan siapa yang kamu sedang berurusan. Jangan kirim duit kepada seorang yang kamu belom pernah ketemu. Jika ada orang yang
berhubungan dengan kamu melalui social media dan kamu tak kenal mereka, ia mungkin tipuan. Berkenalan online mempunyai risiko, payah
semungkinnya, jangan berikan duit kepada orang asing yang kamu tidak pernah ketemu.
Tipuan #5 Saya perlu akses komputa kamu secara remote untuk membetolkan masalah komputa kamu. Apa, kamu tidak tau yang kamu ada
masalah? Jangan kuatir, kamu akan ada satu.
Kalau kamu menerima talipun yang klaim daripada Microsoft, Telstra atau orang lain yang komputa kamu ada masalah, ia sangat kemungkinan
tipuan. Jangan pernah berikan akses remote kepada orang yang talipun kaget-kagetan menawar untuk bantu dengan komputa kamu.
Tipuan #6 Percayalah saya. Saya bekerja untuk Kerajaan dan saya dapat duit kamu yang hilang. Sekarang saya hanya perlukan keterangan
peribadi kamu - kamu tahu, jenis keterangan yang kamu sudah ada di file.
Agensi Kerajaan biasanya menulis surat jika kamu ada duit yang kamu berhak menerima. Kalau ada orang yang talipun mengatakan dia dari Kerjaan,
jangan percaya. Selalu dapatkan keterangan yang cukup dan cari keterangan hubung untuk pastikan sendiri. Ajensi Kerajaan tidak menelipun
kaget-kaget - tapi penipu suka berbuat demikian.
Tipuan #7 Sebuah bank, Telstra atau ajensi kerajaan local/luar negeri meminta kamu memberikan gantirugi atau memberikan bantuan lain.
Mereka tau email address kamu - mereka tidak ada keterangan lain dan kamu hanya perlu untuk fill kekosongan ini online - Jangan hairan
jika kamu memberi lebih daripada apa yang sadar.
Periksa email address. Sebuah email organisasi mesti tepat dengan website mereka, jadi telstra.com.au tepat dengan @telstra.com.au. Ajensi
Kerajaan sekeliling dunia mesti mempunyai address yang mengandungi .gov, contohnya @accc.gov.au. Biasanya, apa yang tertulis selepas ‘@’
adalah paling penting. Tukang penipu akan coba untuk membuat email nampak resmi, contohnya FBI‑us.gov@usa.com. Bisnis-bisnis dan
professional lain tidak biasanya menggunakan akaun email free biasa seperti @gmail.com, @hotmail.com atau @yahoo.com. Email penipuan yang
tidak aslih yang katanya dari bank, pemberi serbis atau pemberi email paling sering dilihat - buat penyelidikkan sendiri untuk memastikan
yang kamu tidak terperangkap.
Scam #8 Kamu menang pertandingan tanpa memasuki apapa? Sangat bernasib baik! (iaitu untuk tukang penipu...bukan kamu)
Kalau tidak memasuki petandingan tidak mungkin menang. Sebetolnya paling-paling tidak ada petandingan apapa, jadi kalau kamu terima surat
pemenang melalui social media, ataupun kawan atau keluarga, pastikan dengan mereka dahulu, sebab ada kemungkinan yang akaun mereka di
hack. Ada perkara-perkara dalam kehidupan yang tidak pasti - tetapi bukan ini - kalau kamu tidak masuk apapa, kamu tidak menang.
Pentingnya untuk senantiasa dapat keterangan. Kalau kamu ada pertanyaan atau komen tentang penipuan (atau perkara-perkara pengguna
selainnya) silahkan hubungi Consumer Protection di 1300 30 40 54, atau email saya di joan.susinetti@commerce.wa.gov.au atau lawati
www.scamnet.wa.gov.au.

most common cause of
lower back pain that is
noticed in lots of people is
the muscle strain or some
injury, the best treatment for
the back pain that is caused
due to this reason is rest.
Don’t keep a posture for a
long time and try to take as
much rest as you can. Because
resting will give comfort to
your muscles and this
relaxation will also decrease
their inflammation that is
actually causing this pain.
 People
should try to stay
active in their daily routine

causing back pain.

breathing has been
found to be very affective for
the body muscles, for the
back pain, lay down on the
floor and raise your hips as
much as you can. While the
hips are in the air practice
the deep breathing and stay
in this form as much as you
can.
 Stretching
is also useful for
your lower back pain, to
stretch up the muscles of your
lower back lie down straight
on the ground and relax for
some time. Now raise both
your legs towards the sky and
raise them as much as you
can. This is a good stretching
practice for the lower back
muscles which will effectively
relax them.
So these were some of my
suggestions regarding the lower
back pain, I know the pain really
becomes too severe but these
simple things will help you to get
yourself out of that situation
without the aid of medicines.
