I came across an intriguing notice on the Department's website highlighting the danger of scam phone calls and text messages. I am interested in hearing from the Minister about the extent and impact of such calls. What should people be wary of? I give the Minister an opportunity to give us some more detail as to what is going on in this regard. For instance, have people already been defrauded in some way by others pretending to be from her Department?
