Fighting Scammers, Fighting for Australians
The Hon Stephen Jones MP, Assistant Treasurer & Minister for Financial Services will Address the National Press Club of Australia on "Fighting Scammers, Fighting for Australians ".
The digital economy has brought enormous benefits to Australians. It has enabled faster payments, better communications and instant access to global markets for goods, services, and ideas. It has also brought with it new social, economic and democratic harms – including a pandemic of scams which must be confronted. In this address Stephen Jones will talk about the Australian Government fight against the criminal scammers, how it fits in our broader digital agenda and why we are one of the only countries that has succeeded in reducing scam losses and what comes next.
