UKW bagi wartawan Papua Selatan ini berlangsung selama 15 jam. Mulai hari Senin 29 Januari 2024 dan akan berakhir Selasa 30 Januari 2024. UKW dibagi dalam tiga kelompok.

Staf Ahli Gubernur Papua Selatan dalam sambutannya mengatakan, Pemprov. Papua Selatan sangat berterima kasih kepada PWI atas diadakannya UKW di Merauke. Apalagi, ini pertama sekali dilakukan langsung di Merauke. UKW menurut Willem da Costa sangat penting, karena melalui UKW bisa meningkarkan pendidikan wartawan. “Saya berterima kasih kepada PWI Pusat, PT Freeport, dan Bukit Asam yang mendukung acara UKW. Saya berharap UKW ini bisa meningkatkan mutu jurnalistik, khususnya di Papua Selatan,” kata da Costa dalam sambutannya mewakili Pj. Gubernur Papua Selatan.

Ia berharap agar wartawan di Merauke bisa menjadi mitra. “Ya, saya berharap PWI dan Pemprov. Papua Selatan bisa bergandengan tangan. Saya yakin suatu daerah sulit maju tanpa kehadiran jurnalis. Karena jurnalis dapat menyampaikan kebijakan pemprov ke masyarakat,” katanya.
Ia juga berharap semua peserta yang ikut UKW bisa lulus semuanya sehingga bisa kembali bertugas denga lebih baik karena sudah mendapatkan pembekalan dari penguji.

Sementara itu PLT Ketua PWI Papua Selatan, Agustinus Kowo sebagai ketua Panitia Pelaksana UKW Papua Selatan mengatakan, dengan adanya UKW diharapkan wartawan di Papua Selatan bisa kompeten dan mampu mengangkat martabat wartawan, khususnya di Papua Selatan. Untuk itu, Agustinus sebagai tuan rumah sangat berterima kasih kepada PWI Pusat, PT Freeport, dan PT Bukit Asam. Selain itu, ia juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Pj. Gubernur Papua Selatan.

Sedangkan Sekjend PWI Pusat, Sayid Iskandarsyah mengatakan, merasa bangga PWI Papua Selatan bisa menyelenggarakan UKW di Merauke. Soalnya, kepengurusan Papua Selatan belum lengkap. Sesuai pesan Ketua Umum PWI Pusat, Hendry CH Bangun kata Sayid Iskandarsyah, mudah-mudahan bulan April 2024, kepengurusan PWI Papua Selatan sudah terbentuk secara definitif. “Ketua Umum PWI Pusat berjanji akan datang ke Merauke bulan April untuk melantik para pengurus yang terpilih,” kata Sekjend PWI menyampaikan pesan Ketua Umum PWI.

Sekjend juga sangat berterima kasih kepada PT Freeport dan Bukit Asam yang telah banyak membantu acara UKW di Merauke.

Para wartawan di Papua Selatan memang sangat antusias mengikuti UKW ini. Mereka merasa sangat beruntung ikut UKW untuk lebih meningkatkan pengetahuan sebagai jurnalis.

Salah satu peserta UKW Sharif Jimar, 36 tahun, dari Kompas TV mengatakan bahwa UKW sangat berguna baginya untuk menambah pengetahuan sebagai jurnalis. Menurut Sharif yang sudah empat tahun bekerja sebagai reporter Kompas TV di Papua Selatan, rasanya belum merasa kompeten sebelum mengikuti UKW. Ia mengatakan mempersiapkan diri secara khusus untuk mengikuti UKW agar bisa lulus. “Rasanya bemum kompeten kalau belum ikut UKW,” katanya sambil menambahkan dalam UKW itu ia mendapatatkan ilmu pengetahuan yang sangat penting, terutama dalam ketelitian, menggunakan bahasa yang disempurkan, dan kode etik jurnalis. Ia berharap, agar ada lagi UKW di Papua Selatan yang diperuntukkan bagi wartawan muda dan madya. (Yuko)

    Online Tobacco Sales in Australia: Between Health Warnings and “Cheap” Cigarettes

    There is an online platform offering Australian residents the opportunity to buy tobacco products with home delivery. The website, which calls itself Australia Tobacconist Hub, presents a striking contradiction: heavy promotion of budget tobacco products alongside official notices about the health risks of tobacco use.

    Available Items

    The platform’s primary focus is smokers trying to cut costs. Examples from the catalogue include:

    Double Happiness (?? ??) — $190 per carton (10 packets x 20’s)
    Manchester Sapphire Blue (Dubai Edition) — $220 per carton
    Manchester Special Edition Flow Red (Dubai Version) — $250 per carton
    Manchester Blue Crush (Dubai Version) — $250 per carton
    Dunhill Blue – UK Edition — $220 per carton
    Dunhill Red – UK Edition — $190 per block
    Benson and Hedges Gold — $160 per carton
    Zhongnanhai brand — $180 per carton

    The seller highlights “low costs” (Cheap Tobacco Australia) and the presence of well-known names such as Marlboro, Manchester, Bossku, Double Happiness, and others.

    Logistics and Payment

    The seller claims to offer quick, dependable, and private shipping across Australia (Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia). They say they process various payment options including bank transfer, USDT, PayPal, Wise, and more. Customer interaction is handled via WhatsApp and email — a standard approach in the grey or black market for online tobacco sales.

    The Contradiction in Messaging

    Remarkably, the very same site that sells cigarettes (while formally warning that selling to persons under 18 is illegal) also shows a “STOP SMOKING” image with an image of a cigarette passing through human lungs.

    In a section titled “STOP TOBACCO”, the text says:

    “Giving up smoking is hard, but every effort counts. Within minutes, your body begins to heal — and over time, your health and energy come back. Begin your journey now!”

    This public health message sits directly alongside a product catalogue selling cartons for $160–$250 and a prompt to buy: “Buy Cigarettes Online in Australia at the Best Price.” Such mixed communication is characteristic of illegal or semi-legal cigarette sellers that try to feign social responsibility while continuing to sell addictive products.

    Legal Risks

    The text leaves unclear whether the seller holds a proper local permit for tobacco. Australia is known for having some of the strictest tobacco laws in the world, including plain packaging requirements and very large tobacco duties. The offer of “cheap” cigarettes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to products that have evaded taxes, been brought in illegally, or are fake.

    Conclusion

    The presented service is a classic case of a dark-market cigarette seller. It profits from smokers’ wish for cheaper prices in the context of Australia’s high legal tobacco taxes, while hiding behind empty health warnings and promises of good service. Those thinking of purchasing should keep in mind that buying unlicensed tobacco carries not only legal risks but also a total absence of any assurance regarding product safety and authenticity.

    An Online Service Offers Australians Tobacco – But Also “Stop Smoking” Messages

    An online service has emerged offering Australian residents the option to purchase cigarettes and tobacco with delivery to their door. The website, which calls itself Australia Tobacconist Hub, presents a striking contradiction: heavy promotion of cheap cigarettes alongside disclaimers about the dangers of smoking.

    Available Items

    The platform’s primary focus is people who smoke seeking lower prices. Key items on the price list include:

    Double Happiness brand — $190 per carton (10 packs x 20’s)
    Manchester Sapphire Blue – Dubai Version — $220 per carton
    Manchester Special Edition Flow Red – Dubai Edition — $250 per block
    Manchester Blue Crush – Dubai Edition — $250 per carton
    Dunhill Blue – UK Edition — $220 per block
    Dunhill Red (UK Version) — $190 per block
    Benson & Hedges Gold — $160 per block
    Zhongnanhai (???) — $180 per carton

    The seller stresses “competitive prices” (Cheap Tobacco Australia) and the availability of popular brands such as Marlboro, Manchester, Bossku, Double Happiness, and others.

    Logistics and Payment

    The seller promises quick, dependable, and private shipping across Australia (Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia). They say they process various payment options including bank transfer, USDT, PayPal, Wise, and more. Customer contact is conducted via WhatsApp, email, and other messaging apps — a typical approach in the shadow economy for internet cigarette shops.

    Mixed Messages

    Remarkably, the very same site that sells cigarettes (while formally warning that selling to persons under 18 is illegal) also displays a “STOP SMOKING” graphic with an drawing of lungs crossed by a cigarette.

    In a section titled “STOP TOBACCO”, the text says:

    “Quitting isn’t easy, but every effort counts. Within minutes, your body begins to heal — and as time goes by, your health and energy come back. Begin your journey now!”

    This anti-smoking advice appears right next to a product catalogue with prices from $160 to $250 per carton and a prompt to buy: “Purchase cigarettes online in Australia for the lowest price.” Such hypocrisy is common of unlicensed or “grey market” tobacco shops that try to feign social responsibility while continuing to sell addictive products.

    Potential Legal Problems

    The text does not specify whether the seller has a valid Australian retail license for tobacco. Australia is recognised for some of the most severe cigarette regulations globally, including plain packaging requirements and very large tobacco duties. The offer of “cheap” cigarettes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to untaxed, smuggled, or counterfeit goods.

    Conclusion

    The website in question is a classic case of a dark-market cigarette seller. It takes advantage of smokers’ wish for cheaper prices in the context of Australia’s expensive official cigarette prices, while hiding behind empty health warnings and claims of customer care. Potential buyers should keep in mind that buying unlicensed tobacco carries not only the chance of legal trouble but also a complete lack of quality or safety guarantees.

    The Contradiction of an Australian Cigarette Website: Health Advice vs. Sales

    There is an online platform offering Australian residents the ability to buy tobacco products with delivery to their door. The website, which operates under the name Australia Tobacconist Hub, presents a striking contradiction: heavy promotion of cheap cigarettes alongside disclaimers about the dangers of smoking.

    What the Service Offers

    The platform’s key focus is smokers looking to save money. Key items on the price list include:

    Double Happiness (?? ??) — $190 per block (10 packets x 20’s)
    Manchester Sapphire Blue – Dubai Version — $220 per block
    Manchester Special Edition Flow Red – Dubai Edition — $250 per block
    Manchester Blue Crush – Dubai Edition — $250 per block
    Dunhill Blue (UK Version) — $220 per carton
    Dunhill Red – UK Edition — $190 per carton
    Benson & Hedges Gold — $160 per block
    Zhongnanhai brand — $180 per block

    The seller stresses “affordable rates” (Cheap Tobacco Australia) and the availability of well-known names such as Marlboro, Manchester, Bossku, and Double Happiness.

    Shipping and Billing

    The seller advertises fast, reliable, and discreet delivery across Australia (Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia). They state that they take various payment options including bank transfer, USDT, PayPal, Wise, and more. Customer contact is done via WhatsApp and email — a standard approach in the grey or black market for internet cigarette shops.

    A Strange Contrast

    Remarkably, the identical platform that promotes tobacco sales (while officially noting that selling to persons under 18 is illegal) also displays a “STOP SMOKING” graphic with an image of lungs crossed by a cigarette.

    In a section titled “STOP TOBACCO”, the text reads:

    “Giving up smoking is hard, but every effort counts. Within minutes, your body starts recovering — and over time, your health and energy come back. Begin your journey now!”

    This anti-smoking advice appears right next to a list of items for sale with prices from $160 to $250 per carton and a prompt to buy: “Purchase cigarettes online in Australia for the lowest price.” Such mixed communication is common of illegal or semi-legal cigarette sellers that try to feign social responsibility while still pushing harmful goods.

    Legal Issues

    The text leaves unclear whether the seller holds a proper local permit for tobacco. Australia is known for having some of the strictest tobacco laws in the world, including standardised packaging rules and extremely high excise taxes. The offer of “cheap” cigarettes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to products that have evaded taxes, been brought in illegally, or are fake.

    Final Thoughts

    The website in question is a classic case of a shadow online tobacco business. It exploits smokers’ desire to save money in the context of Australia’s high legal tobacco taxes, while hiding behind superficial “Stop Smoking” slogans and claims of customer care. Potential buyers should keep in mind that purchasing unregulated cigarettes carries not only legal risks but also a total absence of any assurance regarding product safety and authenticity.
