PM and Treasurer have at least admitted the productivity problem
Whatever else the Economic Reform Roundtable achieves, the event has already served a useful purpose. The Albanese government has at least been forced to acknowledge the productivity problem at the heart of Australia's economic malaise. Opening the first day of the summit between the government and business, union and community leaders on Tuesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted how key the productivity challenge is to 'lifting living standards of Australians'. This was echoed in Jim Chalmers' introductory remarks. The treasurer said 'making the economy more productive over time was the best way to lift living standards and make people better off'. Chalmers even claimed that 'in one of the first cabinet meetings after the election we decided to put productivity at the very core of our second term agenda'.

Nearly $11 million lost a year in Western Australia to sophisticated 'celebrity' scams, and experts warn number could grow
Residents in Western Australia have lost nearly $11 million to 'celebrity' deepfake scams in the last year. That is according to new figures released by WA ScamNet, which revealed that Western Australians have lost $10.8 million in scams involving deepfake images of famous people. According to WA ScamNet, deepfakes occur when a scammer, often based overseas, will deliberately manipulate video of a famous person to gain the trust of their victims, before convincing them to either invest in a cryptocurrency or an investment scam. After investing an initial sum, the victim is then encouraged to invest more of their money before the scammer deletes their profile or stops responding to them. Often, the scammers will also give back small returns to convince their victims that the scam is legitimate. In other scams, the predators will pretend to be from either the Australian Tax Office or the Australian Federal Police and convince people that to get their money back, they need to move their superannuation or savings into a 'safe account' to protect it from fraud. 'Being told to deposit more money to access your funds, citing taxes or other fees is a major red flag of an investment scam,' said Consumer Protection commissioner Trish Blake. She also said that the use of celebrity images in scams were getting better, with vulnerable Australians often the group at risk. But Ms Blake also said that there was a secondary scam that also took place called the recovery scam. This occurs when after the initial scammer has deleted their profile, the victim is then approached by an 'expert' claiming that the victim's lost funds can be recovered. 'After falling victim to an investment scam, many are again approached by so-called 'recovery experts', claiming they can retrieve lost funds,' she said. 'These follow-up scams prey on hope and desperation and can lead to even greater losses.' Nationally, the top five scams in the country are romance scams, followed by investment scams, payment redirection, remote access technical support scams and phishing scams. The ACCC recommends that people follow the Stop, Act, Check and Protect to avoid scams and to notify their bank or financial institution along with Scamwatch if they feel that they have been scammed or know someone who has been scammed. Scams can be reported via the Scamwatch report page by going to or by reaching out to your local state or territory consumer watchdog.
