The purpose of the ACFT is to work together to enhance the Australian and New Zealand Governments enforcement activity against frauds and scams, to create a yearly co-ordinated information campaign for consumers timed to coincide with Global Consumer Fraud Prevention Month and to also involve the private sector in that initiative, and to share information and generate greater interest in research on consumer frauds and scams. The Taskforce, chaired by Louise Sylvan, the Deputy Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, is operating in three focussed subgroups: Outreach Subgroup, creates the overall message and program of co-ordinated outreach by the members each year. All members participate in this task and in the liaison with private sector partners in the lead up to the campaign. The purpose is to have all government departments and agencies and all private partners giving the same message at the same time. Stop It Subgroup, chaired by Bruce Matthews, Anti-Spam Team Manager, Australian Communications and Media Authority, with Malcolm Finger of the NSW Office of Fair Trading as Deputy Chair, is tasked with developing innovative and co-ordinated approaches to a) preventing fraud and scam messages from reaching consumers whether these originate by mail, phone or email and b) where scams and frauds do get through, preventing the money paid by consumers from leaving Australia. Research Subgroup, chaired by Dr Russell Smith, Principal Criminologist of the Australian Institute of Criminology, with Terry Byrnes of the Australian Bureau of Statistics as Deputy Chair, is tasked with raising the profile of consumer fraud in terms of developing, commissioning and conducting research into the problem. /2 The members of the ACTF are: Australian Government Attorney Generals Department Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Communications and Media Authority Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (Chair) Australian Institute of Criminology Australian Securities & Investment Commission Australian Federal Police Department of Communications, Information Technology & the Arts New Zealand Government NZ Commerce Commission Ministry of Consumer AffairsState and Territory Governments Australian Capital Territory Office of Fair Trading Consumer Affairs Victoria New South Wales Office of Fair Trading Northern Territory Department of Justice Queensland Department of Tourism, Fair Trading and Wine Industry Development South Australia Office of Consumer & Business Affairs Tasmania Office of Consumer Affairs & Fair Trading Western Australia Department of Consumer & Employment Protection All State and Territory Police Jurisdictions  ' ( 9 @ B  O np.G»|"HhzFhoLhr~B*phh(B*phhr~5B*\phhu hr~ hh5 hr~5hhq hhhh h'5h^0h>)hDCh-hw_Ch'5hch'5CJaJhhh8Zjhr~Uh', ' ( nopgdch^hgdc & Fgd'gd' $|^|a$gdQ$a$gd&GvZ[\st $IfgdT $Ifgd' & Fdh$Ifgd( $Ifgdr~gdr~gd'GakYZ[\st{tpdXE%HhzFhThr~5B*phhXB*CJaJphhr~B*CJaJphhT hshThoLhTB*ph"HhzFhoLhTB*ph(HhzFhoLh(5B*\phhT5B*\phh(B*phhTB*phhr~B*ph"HhzFhoLhr~B*ph hoLhr~hr~B*\phhoLhr~B*\pht.EF[qr ^$If]^gdr~ $Ifgdr~$If[$\$gdr~ & Fdh$Ifgd( !&'+,.DEFGOPXYZ[pqr} 2345<=EHvwxƾഡƏƾƾƏƏƏƾ"HhzFhoLh(B*ph%HhzFhTh(5B*phhr~5B*phh(B*phhr~B*ph"HhzFhoLhr~B*ph%HhzFhThr~5B*phhThr~5B*ph8 34Hwx $Ifgd'$If[$\$gd( $Ifgdr~ B$If]Bgdr~ xh'hr~hoLh(B*phh(B*CJaJphw$a$gdgd'zkd%$$Ifl0G" t0644 la21h:p.
