There definitely needs to be some sort of ongoing and widespread education initiative in place to help people protect themselves. Relying on companies and/or governments to function perfectly, or blaming victims who are extremely vulnerable through no fault of their own, doesn't work. As long as Australians don't understand how anything works or the risks associated with what they are doing, they will continue to fall victim to scams, data breaches, identity theft, etc. It's actually painful when I watch other people use a web browser and they don't even know how to install an ad-blocker. Just the absolute basics like that are completely beyond the average person.
