Will new Australian policies unlock blockchain’s potential or shut it down?

With the 2025 federal election looming, political parties remain divided on their approach to digital assets and blockchain regulation. Policies on taxation, licensing, and consumer protection will shape Australia’s blockchain future, influencing innovation and investment.

In conversation with Caroline Bowler, CEO of BTC Markets, Amy-Rose Goodey, CEO of the Digital Economy Council of Australia (DECA), highlights the importance of clear regulations to foster growth while protecting consumers. Her Who Supports Crypto campaign showcases strong public and industry backing for digital assets and urges policymakers to act. The election outcome could determine whether Australia embraces crypto or falls behind in the global digital economy.

Despite extensive cyber training, companies often prioritise compliance over actual behaviour change, leaving them vulnerable to security threats.

Many companies invest in cybersecurity training but focus too much on compliance rather than real behaviour change. This leaves organisations vulnerable to cyber threats, as employees may check boxes without truly improving security practices.

In this episode of Ticker Clicks, cyber security expert Jacqueline Jayne highlights the need for a culture of security, where training is engaging, practical, and directly relevant to daily tasks. Superficial programs fail to address real risks, making a deeper commitment to behavioural change essential.

To strengthen defences, businesses must prioritise interactive, meaningful training that encourages proactive security habits. True protection comes not from meeting requirements but from fostering genuine awareness and action against cyber threats.
