22.01.2022 Scammers pretending to be from the NBN Australia are back at it! Australians are losing more money to NBN scams, with reported losses in 2019 already higher tha...n the total of last year’s losses. Scammers are increasingly using trusted brands like ‘NBN’ to trick unsuspecting consumers into parting with their money or personal information. Common types of NBN scams include: * Someone pretending to be from NBN Co or an internet provider calls a victim and claims there is a problem with their phone or internet connection, which requires remote access to fix. The scammer can then install malware or steal valuable personal information, including banking details. * Scammers pretending to be the NBN attempting to sell NBN services, often at a discount, or equipment to you over the phone. * Scammers may also call people to sign them up to the NBN, get them a better deal or test the speed of their connection. They may ask people to provide personal details such as their name, address, date of birth, and Medicare number or ask for payment through gift cards. * Scammers calling you during a blackout offering you the ability to stay connected during a blackout for an extra fee. It is important to remember NBN Co is a wholesale-only company and does not sell services directly to consumers. If you get a call like the ones above, just hang up.

01.01.2022 Screentime Television are making a documentary series, looking at how we can solve the housing crisis in Australia- by matching up older Australians with young people in a house share arrangement. They are trying to find some older Australians who would be willing to participate in a trial for a week allowing a young person to come and stay. They would film this trial week. At the end of the week both parties can decide if they want to continue the living arrangements.... They plan to shoot this from mid June - July ( but you will only be required for 5-6 days in this period. All participants will be required to undertake a police check and chaperones will also be staying overnights during the trial.
