認TG、FB披露議員及警員資料 25歲學生判緩刑2年
A 25-year-old student who posted the personal data of Legislative Council members and police officers in Telegram and Facebook groups earlier pleaded guilty to four counts of disclosing personal data without the consent of the data subjects. He was sentenced at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday (26th) to three months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.
Magistrate Jason Siu Ming Wan said the facts of the case were serious and imprisonment was inevitably one of the appropriate options, but the offences were committed when the social movement was not at its most intense and the potential risks caused were lower. Taking into account the positive background report and the defendant’s history of autism, among other factors, the magistrate ultimately imposed a suspended sentence.
一名 25 歲學生涉於 Telegram 及 Facebook 群組發布立法會議員、警員的個人資料，早前承認 4 項「未獲資料當事人同意下披露其個人資料」罪，周三（26 日）於西九龍裁判法院被判監禁 3 個月、緩刑 2 年。
裁判官溫紹明指，本案案情嚴重，監禁必然是合適選項之一，但案發時並非社運最激烈時候，引起的潛在風險較低。另考慮被告背景報告正面，曾患自閉症等，最後判處緩刑。

賑災基金︳「入不敷支」 立會通過追加撥款 34 議員與獲批款機構有關連
The Disaster Relief Fund had a balance of HK$72 million at the end of August, while the Government expected to allocate HK$88 million for relief efforts following floods in North China. With the fund facing a “deficit”, the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council today (6th) approved an additional allocation of HK$70 million without objection. In mid-August, the Government announced in-principle allocations totalling HK$65 million to nine organisations for the relief effort. Two have since received formal funding approval, while the detailed plans of the other seven are still being finalised. One additional organisation has been approved for funding, and five have indicated that they intend to apply.
At least seven of the organisations approved for funding this time are pro-establishment groups receiving funding for the first time. Legislators asked about the Government’s approval criteria and the details of the applications. Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said new voluntary organisations were welcome to apply because they could provide a wider range of services, adding that it should not be the case that “the same two or three [organisations] are always distributing things”. In response to legislators’ requests for details, the Director of Administration disclosed that the main items requested by the organisations for disaster relief were still the distribution of supplies, “such as quilts, disinfecting products, schoolbags, stationery, food and other relief items”.
賑災基金截至 8 月底結餘 7200 萬，政府預期撥款 8800 萬賑華北水災，在基金「赤字」下，今日（6日）向立法會財務委員會追加 7000 萬撥款，在無人反對的情況下通過。政府 8 月中宣布，向九個機構原則性撥款 6500 萬元賑濟華北水災後，其中兩個已獲正式撥款，另外七個仍在敲定詳細計劃；另有一個新機構已獲批撥款，五個有意申請。
今次獲批撥款機構中，有最少七個屬首次獲批撥款的親建制團體。議員關注政府審批準則是甚麼、以及申請詳情。政務司司長陳國基回應指，歡迎新志願機構申請，因可提供多元化服務，「唔係來來去去嗰兩三間都係派嘢」；不過，在議員追問詳情下，行政署長披露團體賑災主要申請內容，仍然為派發物資，「如棉被、消毒用品、書包、文具、食物等救災物品」。

「立會好聲音」 叫停 容海恩：將減少公開表演免影響議員觀感
The “LegCo Good Voice” concert was originally scheduled to be held next Friday (the 8th) at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai. However, a recent farewell banquet for a district officer was described as extravagant, prompting public concern about the conduct of political figures outside work. Lau Cheung-kong, the pro-establishment camp’s leader in the Legislative Council, also issued a “friendly reminder” urging lawmakers to pay attention to public perception. The concert organiser issued a press release this afternoon announcing that the concert had been called off, saying that after discussions it had “decided that it is not appropriate to hold it at present”. Eunice Ho, who had withdrawn before the cancellation was announced, told Independent Media that she had withdrawn in response to the Chief Executive’s remarks and believed it was necessary to weigh performances against lawmakers’ responsibilities. She also said she would reduce public performances to avoid giving the public a distorted impression of Legislative Council members, hoping to “get back to doing my work in the legislature”.
「立會好聲音」音樂會原訂於下周五（8日）在灣仔伊利沙伯體育館舉行。不過，近日民政專員歡送宴被指誇張，連帶引起外界關注政界人物工作外行為，立法會建制派「班長」廖長江更發「溫馨提示」要議員注意觀感。音樂會主辦方今日下午發新聞稿，宣布煞停音樂會，理由是經商討後「決定現時並不宜舉行」。在宣佈煞停前已率先退出的容海恩向《獨媒》表示，退出是響應特首的說話，認為需要衡量表演與議員的職責，又指將會減少公開表演，避免市民對立法會議員的觀感有偏差，希望「做返我喺議會入面嘅工作」。

建制派「班長」温提後 新民黨「辭演」 立會好聲音「消音」
Last week, it emerged that Philip Chi Wah Wong, the Wong Tai Sin District Officer, had received a “farewell” funded by 500 people pooling money, prompting public concern about the conduct and image of public officers. The “LegCo Got Talent” event, originally scheduled for 8 September at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai, was affected. Today (29th), three New People’s Party legislators first announced that they would “withdraw from the performance”. The organiser, Blue Star Action, subsequently said in a press release that, after discussions, it considered the event unsuitable to hold at present and had therefore decided to cancel it.
上周爆出黃大仙民政專員黃智華獲 500人「夾錢歡送」，引起公眾對公職人員行為、形象等關注。原訂在 9 月 8 日 在灣仔伊利沙伯體育館舉行的「立會好聲音」受到「波及」，今日（29日)，新民黨三名議員先公布「辭演」，其後主辦單位藍星行動發新聞稿表示，經商討後認為現時不宜舉行，因些決定取消是次活動。

議員提取消「黑碼」 深圳市口岸辦：旅客健康申報屬「國家事權」
After Hong Kong and mainland China fully reopened their border early this year, several Legislative Council members suggested scrapping the “black code” to facilitate crossings by residents of both places. National People’s Congress Standing Committee member Starry Lee Wai-king said elderly people without smartphones took longer to cross the border and caused confusion. She also said that when she went to Beijing for a meeting in June this year, she suggested to central government ministries and commissions that the “black code” for border crossings be scrapped. Some legislators, however, believed the “black code” did not impede crossings. The Shenzhen Municipal Port Office responded yesterday (the 9th) that passenger health declarations were a “national authority”, adding that the information required had already been substantially streamlined.
今年初香港與中國全面通關後，多名立法會議員建議取消「黑碼」，方便兩地居民過境。全國人大常委李慧琼曾指長者不用智能手機，增加過關時間和造成混亂，更表示今年6月上京開會時，向中央部委建議取消通關「黑碼」； 但亦有議員認為「黑碼」無阻過關。深圳市口岸辦昨（9日）回應，旅客健康申報屬「國家事權」，又指填報項目已大幅精簡。

立法會委員會紀錄不再列出議員名字 記協促回復以住做法
Ming Pao reported today that the Legislative Council Secretariat has introduced a new arrangement for recording meetings, under which the names of members speaking at committee meetings will no longer be listed during the current term. Instead, they will be identified as “a member”. For members of the public wishing to review the remarks of individual legislators or officials, the Secretariat will instead specify the time markers for the speakers. The Hong Kong Journalists Association criticised the arrangement in a statement, saying it would not help the public grasp the key points of committee discussions and would hinder their understanding of the work of Legislative Council members. It urged the Secretariat to return to its previous practice.
《明報》今日報導，立法會秘書處有新安排，今屆起改變會議紀錄的方式，今後不會列出委員會的發言議員的名字，只會以「一名議員」代替，公眾如欲翻看個別議員或官員發言，秘書處改為列明發言者的標記時間。記協發聲明批評，新安排未能方便公眾掌握會議的討論要點，窒礙市民理解立法會議員的工作，促請立法會秘書處回復以往做法。
