澳珠宝设计师父亲曾在狮城遭拘 内政部驳斥没“不人道对待”
据澳洲媒体报导，澳洲著名珠宝设计师Amber Sceats父亲菲力（Phillip Sceats），两年前在新加坡樟宜机场过检时，被发现行李内藏有可卡因和美沙酮而被捕。近日却传出菲力申诉扣留期间被不人道对待。内政部也发文告回应，称嫌犯是因持有美沙酮，接获“严厉警告”，反驳不人道对待的说法。 根据《每日电讯报》于10月18日发表的相关文章，《Amber Sceats父亲逃过可卡因罪名死刑》（Amber Sceats’ father Phillip Sceats escapes cocaine death row hell）。 报道称，Amber的父亲菲力（Phillip George Sceats）2018年3月份在我国“被设计陷害”，涉嫌持有可卡因和美沙酮的毒品，并被拘留353天，直至2019年2月才被释放。 菲力自称在本地被拘留期间，亲眼看见14名囚犯被“处决”，这也意味着自己很可能面临和他们一样的命运。 “我开始失去希望。我看到人们消失了，这很痛苦，那里是非常严格的制度。如果你做错了事，他们会鞭打你。而且警卫每小时都经过你的牢房。当你判处死刑时，他们不会关灯。” 对此，内政部也回应，证实菲力确实在樟宜机场过检时，在他的行李中发现了毒品而被捕，但菲力因美沙酮而受到“严厉的警告”，但也准予释放，然而内政部并未仔细说明释放的原因。 ...

【国会】政府拟推出新框架 助小型和微型企业重新洽谈合约义务
在疫情的冲击下，许多小型或微型企业无法履行合约，为了能够解决此一问题，政府将推出新的框架，同另一合约方协商调整合约的义务，如若协商失败，也可终止合约。 文化、社区及青年部长兼律政部第二部长唐振辉今日（2日）在国会为《冠状病毒疾病法案（临时援助措施）修正案》提出一读。而唐振辉召开记者会，说明合约调整框架内容。 新框架适用于特定类型的合约，包括非住宅不动产租约、商用车辆、厂房或机器的分期付款租购，或有条件销售合约和租赁协议、产品买卖合约、服务买卖合约等。 这些合约必须符合特定条件，即必须是在今年3月25日前签订。 根据拟议的合约调整框架下，有意启动协商程序的合格企业，将有六周时间向另一合约方提呈通知。 唐振辉表示，由于疫情对于企业的影响极大，部分企业因疫情的影响无法正常运作，若他们在疫情前签订合约，要他们履行合约内容，并不是很公平，因此才会推出框架，协助微型企业重新洽谈合约。 尽管企业无须支付提前解约的罚金，但如果双方为此产生分歧，可交由独立评定员定夺。
