25.01.2022 Plants like FROGBITE, SALVINIA and WATER HYACINTH are illegal to trade and devastating to our environment. These plants grow at a rapid rate, block waterways, reduce water quality and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to control. They also restrict livestock, birds and other native animals’ access to water, reduce food and shelter for fish and native animals and prevent native water plants from growing. Penalties of up to $1.1 million or 3 years imprisonment are in p...lace for individuals found to be selling these plants. If you see, know or suspect criminal activity, contact Crime Stoppers in complete confidence on 1800 333 000 or report online at https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.

24.01.2022 Young people and particularly those under the age of 18 are vulnerable to the damaging effects of alcohol. In Australia alcohol is a key factor in the three leading causes of death among adolescents; unintentional injury, homicide and suicide. In 2012, young people aged 16-24 years of age were around twice as likely as the general population to drink at very high levels on a single occasion.... For young people aged 18-24 years of age, the rate of emergency department presentations for acute alcohol problems was 54% higher in 2012 than in 2003. The rate of interpersonal violence hospitalisations in 15-24 year old males were around four times that of females in the same age group. As well as the serious and obvious health consequences of excessive drinking, alcohol places the drinker and those around them at considerable risk of harm. Alcohol use, particularly excessive use can increase young people's risk of becoming a victim and / or an offender of alcohol related crime, often violent crime such as sexual assault, physical assault, robbery, driving accidents, violence and antisocial behaviour offences. In NSW, laws regulate the sale, consumption and provision of alcohol to people under the age of 18 years (minors). These laws are covered in the Liquor Act 2007 http://www8.austlii.edu.au//nsw/consol/la2007107/s117.html and the Summary Offences Act 1988. http://www8.austlii.edu.au//nsw/consol/soa1988189/s11.html

12.01.2022 Child sexual abuse material consists of images, videos and live streamed footage that shows the sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of children. Child sexual abuse material is obtained and shared in several ways: A predator records their sexual abuse of a child then uploads or shares it online. A predator contacts a child through an app or service on a connected device and tricks or coerces them into producing and sending sexually explicit images and videos of themselves.... Predators encourage this through ‘grooming’ the child to trust them, and through manipulation and intimidation. A predator shares images or videos of children ‘stolen’ from social media accounts. The trade in child sexual abuse material online is global and abhorrent. Every time an image or video of a child being abused is shared or distributed, demand is fostered for new and more extreme material. If you know or suspect someone is producing, downloading or sharing child sexual abuse material you can make a confidential report to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppers.com.au. Child sexual abuse material can be reported anonymously to the eSafety Commissioner at esafety.gov.au/reportillegalcontent.
