This Week On ABC Statewide Drive
This week on statewide drive with Kathy Bedford we discussed:
Casino Conjuring: The Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation spent $25,000 being Las Vegas magician Barron Stringfellow (best. name. ever.) to Australia to teach investigators how to spot a cheat.
A good investment of taxpayer money?
UPS Scam: A caller asked whether an email from UPS was really a scam (it was) and another called wondering why we get more scam emails this time of year. (the answer: we all need to cash after Christmas)
Twitter: We discussed the various frauds associated the social networking site and how to avoid getting swindled while tweeting.
Is the openness and anonymity of tweeter a breeding ground for swindlers?
Climate Change Government: Scamwatch warns us to be on the look out for fake offers of grants to fix climate change.
You’re just jealous of BS!
His name is BS…maybe he is too.
Thank-you Greyson…since there is far too much BS on the subject, this BS will leave it alone! After all…Why would the Agency bring someone in 6 times (SIX) if the program wasn’t working?
As for those who are jealous…get your own 15 minutes of fame!
Greyson- the question brought up on the radio show was not, does Barron provide a valuable service? He has come to Australia numerous times so he must be good at what he does. The question was, should taxpayers foot the bill?
The Victorian state government has a long history of bending over backwards for the casino. The casino was built on the back of lobbying and law changes.
Should Crown’s security be paid for by taxpayers or should the billion dollar business cover the cost themselves?
ooooo oooo pick me! pick me!!!
ahh okay, my final answer is: the billion dollar business cover the cost themselves.
