SCAMNET REPORT
274. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Commerce:
I refer to comments made by the
minister and the Commissioner for Consumer Protection during the publication of
the 2023 ScamNet report, specifically those related to online scams on
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
(1) Has Meta responded to the Consumer Protection
division's letter; and, if so, what is the nature of that response?
(2) If Meta does
not respond or if its response is inadequate, what steps will the minister
consider to ensure that Meta takes appropriate action to protect consumers?
