Targeted patrols conducted in the Curtis Island National Park in August 2024 led to the discovery of an illegal hut and evidence of significant illegal activity.

Rangers from the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) identified the people who built the hut in a remote area of the park.

Regional Director Great Barrier Reef and Marine Parks Region Tina Alderson said it is illegal to build any structure in a protected area and rangers will have the hut removed.

“Building an illegal structure in a protected area essentially excludes others from the area and causes damage to the environment. This hut was also used as a base for other illegal activities,” Ms Alderson said.

“People who want to build a hut for their own personal use for activities such as fishing, hunting and vehicle-based activities can do so on private land but not in a national park.

“Multiple fines and warnings have been issued for illegal activity within the protected areas of Curtis Island, and eighteen offenders have been identified.

“QPWS is serious about compliance and anyone who builds an illegal structure in a protected area will be caught.

“So far we have issued 22 penalty infringement notices totalling $7606, which includes two people receiving fines of more than $1000 each for their role in the offending.”

The illegal activities include:

• Illegal fires in a protected area putting rangers, neighbours and other park users at risk
• Bringing domestic dogs into a protected area impacting the environment and native wildlife
• Hunting, including the use of firearms and other weapons putting rangers, neighbours and other park users at risk.
• Multiple driving offences including driving in restricted access areas, use of unregistered vehicles and traveling with unrestrained people.
• Illegal clearing and harvest of trees to construct the hut.

Anyone with information about illegal activities in Queensland’s protected areas is encouraged to call 1300 130 372. Information can be provided anonymously.

A 64-year-old hiker has been rescued from near Ellery Creek after NT police received notification from a satellite distress alerting device yesterday evening.

Around 7:15pm, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) contacted the Northern Territory Police Force (NTPF) after it received a distress message from near Ellery Creek. The 64-year-old man had suffered a medical incident while hiking in a group of experienced bushwalkers about 12km north of Ellery Big Hole.

The group had established camp and requested urgent medical assistance and extraction of the man.

The Search and Rescue Section (SRS) was deployed and established a recovery plan. The group was able to stay in contact with emergency service personnel via satellite messaging throughout the evening.

The recovery team, consisting of NTPF, St John Ambulance, and Parks and Wildlife Rangers accessed the location via 4WD and a 2km hike, and reached the victim around 2am.

He was extracted via stretcher and was conveyed to Alice Springs Hospital in a stable condition.

SRS Sergeant Karl von Minden said, “Being able to communicate with the group throughout the rescue operation was crucial to the successful recovery, and I commend them for being adequately prepared for their hike.

“I also want to acknowledge and thank our police members, St John Ambulance personnel, and the rangers involved for their professionalism in executing a safe rescue in very cold conditions overnight.

“The positive outcome of this rescue is testament to all parties, and a timely reminder to anyone thinking of exploring the Territory to ensure you are travelling with enough food and water, and are equipped with a PLB, EPIRB, or satellite communication device for those unforeseeable circumstance.”

The Northern Territory Police Force is investigating multiple aggravated burglaries that occurred in Alice Springs overnight.

Around 2am, police received reports that two male youths unlawfully entered a residence on Ptilotus Crescent in Sadadeen. The offenders allegedly gained entry through the front window, before stealing personal items from a 66-year-old male victim. They fled the scene in the victim’s white Holden Commodore sedan with NT registration CB25VV.

At 2:15am, police were notified of an unlawful entry at a residence in Chewings Street in East Side. The victims reportedly woke to an offender in their bedroom, who subsequently fled the scene with a second offender who was in the backyard. It is unknown if any items were stolen at this stage.

Around 2:30am, police received reports that two male youth offenders unlawfully entered a residence on Raggatt Street in East Side. The offenders were disturbed by the four victims who were home at the time. A male victim followed the offenders outside and observed them entering his vehicle, before allegedly challenging him and throwing rocks at him. He retreated inside the residence and the offenders fled in his silver Ford Territory with NT registration CG03EJ.

Police are investigating if the incidents are linked, and the offenders and stolen motor vehicles remain outstanding at this time.

The Northern Territory Police Road Policing Division have seized a significant quantity of alcohol and detected multiple driving offences during a traffic operation in the Daly River region over the weekend.

On Saturday evening, members from the Darwin and Katherine Road Policing units conducted a coordinated operation targeting vehicles heading to alcohol restricted communities, in accordance with the Liquor Act 2019.

As a result of the operation, police seized:

• 11 x bottles of spirits
• 3 x cartons of heavy beers
• 12 x cans of mid-strength beers
• 2 x casks of wine

Several traffic and liquor-related infringements notices were issued, along with the following apprehensions:

• A Notice to Appear was issued to a 29-year-old male for low-range drink driving and driving while using a mobile phone. His driver’s licence was immediately suspended, and he is scheduled to appear in the Daly River Local Court in November.
• A 30-year-old female was arrested for high-range drink driving, driving unlicenced, and contravening a Domestic Violence Order.
• A 56-year-old male was arrested for breaching his bail conditions while allegedly intoxicated.

Acting Senior Sergeant Aaron Evans said, “It is always disappointing to identify people breaking the law, but when it is putting others safety at risk, it is exceptionally concerning.

“We will continue to target those who disregard their own safety and the safety of others on the roads.

“The supply and distribution of alcohol in restricted vulnerable communities has many negative impacts to the health and well-being of residents and we will continue to disrupt the flow at every opportunity.”

花時間檢查狀況

詐騙者的目標是利用安全系統的薄弱之處，通過精心設計的計畫讓您在日常生活中分散注意力。

為了確保自己的安全：

• 拒絕 — 不要與任何人共用您的個人資訊，例如您的 myGov 登錄詳細資訊、納稅檔號 (TFN) 或銀行帳戶詳細資訊，除非您信任此人並且他們確實需要您的詳細資訊。
• 檢查 — 花點時間檢查一下狀況。問問自己，資訊或來電會不會是假的？真的是ATO在聯繫你嗎？
• 保護 — 如果感覺不對勁，或者您發現自己的ATO帳戶存在可疑活動，請迅速採取行動。

務必始終留意您所分享的信息。如果詐騙者獲取了您的個人資訊，他們可以訪問您的銀行帳戶、登錄您的 myGOV 帳戶，或以您的名義竊取錢財並進行欺詐。

如果在互動過程中感覺不對勁，請停止互動。您應該採取以下任一行動：

• 前往驗證或舉報詐騙頁面（英文版）
• 查看最新的詐騙警報資訊（英文版）
• 或者致電 1800 008 540 向我們查詢。如果想用英語以外的語言與我們溝通，請致電 13 14 50 聯繫翻譯及傳譯服務處（TIS National）。

如果您是資料洩露的受害者，並且您的個人識別資訊已被獲取，請訪問個人資料洩露指南（英文版）。

您的個人資訊

要實施身份犯罪或欺詐，詐騙者只需要您的一些個人資訊。這可能包括：

• 姓名
• 出生日期
• 現時住址
• myGov 和 ATO online 帳戶登錄信息
• TFN
• 密碼
• 銀行帳號
• 信用卡詳細資料
• 駕照詳情
• 護照詳情。

他們可以通過多種方式使用這些資訊，例如以您的名義進行退款欺詐，訪問您的 myGOV 帳戶以竊取您的退稅，竊取您的退休金，或通過暗網或其他方式將您的身份出售給有組織的犯罪集團。

如果您懷疑自己的個人資訊（例如 TFN）被盜、濫用或洩露，請在週一至週五上午 8 點至下午 6 點之間儘快致電 1800 467 033 聯繫我們。我們將進行調查，並可以為您的 ATO 帳戶提供額外保護。

如果想用英語以外的語言與我們溝通，請致電 13 14 50 聯繫翻譯及傳譯服務處（TIS National）。

身份盜竊的後果

如果您的身份被盜，後果可能遠遠超出直接的經濟損失（例如您的退休公積金被清理，或以您的名義進行退款欺詐），並導致重大個人和職業問題。比如：

• 影響您的信用評級，令您難以獲得貸款或信用卡的批准。
• 這使您難以證明自己的身份和獲得新的身份證件。
• 您的聲譽受損，您的社交媒體帳戶可被訪問，並以您的名義散佈錯誤資訊。

身份盜竊的受害者還可能需要數年時間才能恢復身份並消除任何損害。

情感上的損失也很大。身份盜竊的受害者知道其他人隨時都有能力利用他們的個人資訊，因此經常會感到壓力、焦慮和脆弱感。

保護自己

保護個人資訊安全的首要秘訣是：

1. 除非您信任此人並且他們確實需要您的詳細資訊，否則不要將您的個人資訊透露給任何人。
2. 我們從不未經本人請求就發送帶有二維碼或線上門戶連結的電子郵件或短信。詐騙者經常使用這些方法竊取您的個人資訊，或在您的設備上植入惡意軟體。如果您收到這種要求，那就是騙局。
3. 務必直接在流覽器中輸入 URL 網址來訪問線上服務，而不是點選連結。
4. 保護您的 TFN——僅將您的 TFN 提供給有合法需求的組織或個人，例如您的稅務代理人、現任雇主或銀行。重要的是要證實要求獲取您 TFN 資訊的人身份屬實。
5. 切勿共用您的密碼。考慮使用密碼串來代替密碼，密碼管理器可以説明您生成或存儲密碼。您還應該考慮定期更新密碼。
6. 啟用多重因素身份驗證。即使詐騙者獲取了您的密碼，他們也很難訪問您的帳戶。
7. 保持您的設備更新至最新版本。詐騙者可以使用病毒、惡意軟體和程式在手機、電腦和平板電腦等設備上訪問或竊取您的個人資訊。
8. 將您的數位身份證（例如 myID）設置為可以達到的最強級別，通過 myGov 訪問 ATO online service。
