REBECCA LEVINGSTON:
Twenty‑two minutes to 10. Are you thinking about retiring? You’re not alone. There’s millions of Aussies on the precipice of retirement. How do you know, though, if you’ve got enough money or what to do with your money? Stephen Jones is the Assistant Treasurer of Australia. He’s thinking about retirement, not his but yours. Morning, Stephen.

STEPHEN JONES:
Well, good morning, everyone. Great to be here. This is an exciting day. For years Australians have had to fight the scammers on their own, and the price has been horrific – over $3 billion worth of money lost to scammers over the last year alone. The biggest part of that loss has been investment scams.
