Exclusive: One of Australia's biggest banks will soon be asking all new customers to take a selfie to confirm their identity.

National Australia Bank (NAB) will start using selfies to help combat the spread of identity theft from next month.

The bank said the new feature will be a breakthrough in the fight against cybercriminals.

NAB said new customers will verify their identity using their biometric data, also known as full facial recognition.

It's designed to stop stolen licences and passports being used to open dummy bank accounts, which is a fast-moving problem in the world of scams.

"Over 255,000 Australians a year have their identity stolen or compromised," Head of NAB group investigations Chris Sheehan told 9News Finance Editor Chris Kohler.

"Now that number, I suspect, is on the low side.

"We're confident we're going to make a real difference."

Industry analysts support the move, but say with more data actually comes more exposure.

"What we need to worry about is where is this information being held," technology expert Trevor Long said.

"This is the last thing we want, our names, our details and photos of ourselves being hacked."

NAB said there are no plans to make existing customers verify in this way and that anyone concerned should visit a branch in person to open a new account.

The move comes as the ACCC reports scam losses are increasing, with $175 million lost in just the first half of this year alone.

Australia comes in at 18th, the UK in 30th and the USA is all the way down in 128th.

NRL star Brandon Smith has been charged with dangerous drug supply, as well as using inside knowledge for betting, by police in Queensland.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs hooker was questioned by officers at Gold Coast Airport earlier this month.

Police have now confirmed the 29-year-old Smith was charged last week – before taking to the field in Souths' win over the St George-Illawarra Dragons on Thursday night – and is due to appear in court next month.

"A 29-year-old man has been issued with a summons by Queensland Police on August 20 for supplying dangerous drugs and using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting," a Queensland Police spokesperson said.

"The man is expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on September 18.

"Investigations by detectives from the Organised Crime Gangs Group, Taskforce Maxima, South Eastern Region, are continuing."

Maxima is the taskforce established by Queensland Police in 2013 to combat outlaw bikie gangs, but in 2017 had its remit expanded to include all forms of organised crime.

In a statement, South Sydney said it was aware of the charges against Smith.

"The South Sydney Rabbitohs are aware of allegations made by Queensland Police against player Brandon Smith," a spokesperson for the club said.

"The club has informed the NRL Integrity Unit about the allegations.

"As this matter is part of a Queensland Police investigation, the Rabbitohs will be making no further comment at this stage."

An NRL spokesperson told 9news.com.au that the league is "aware of the matter and is liaising with the club".

After he was questioned at Gold Coast Airport, police had said there was no suggestion Smith had done anything wrong, although they did acknowledge the investigation was running.

"It was opportunistic for us," Queensland Police Commissioner Shane Chelepy told 4BC radio on August 14.

"But we spoke to him, he cooperated with us and we have an ongoing police matter there."

At the time, the NRL told Wide World of Sports it had "no information relating to a potential breach of the NRL rules by the player".

Smith has played 152 NRL games in a nine-year career for the Melbourne Storm, Sydney Roosters and Rabbitohs.

He won the 2020 premiership with the Storm and has represented New Zealand in more than a dozen rugby league internationals.

Injuries have limited him to just four games for Souths this season.

The man allegedly threatened two people in the shop around 8pm yesterday and took a cash register containing around $180.

Shop owner Faris Alwiswih said a customer in the shop, on Devonshire Street tried to stop him using a mop.

"We refused to give him him any cash, he took the whole cash register and ran away from the shop," Alwiswih said.

He met up outside with a woman police allege is Tiahna Hatch, 21, and they bolted across the busy road and light rail track to an apartment block.

Police headed to the apartments in Belvoir Street an hour later as part of their investigations.

A man and woman were in the hallway of the units when police arrived, with police saying he ran when he saw officers.

Sole surviving mushroom lunch victim Ian Wilkinson, his family and the loved ones of three people murdered by killer cook Erin Patterson have delivered emotional statements as she faced court for her pre-sentencing hearing today.

Patterson was on July 7 found guilty of three murders and the attempted murder of Wilkinson over a death cap mushroom-laced beef Wellington lunch.

She deliberately served up the poisoned dish during lunch at her Leongatha home to her former mother and father-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson, Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson and her husband Ian.

Today, those directly affected by her crimes told the Victorian Supreme Court of their pain.

Ian Wilkinson

• "I would like to begin with a few words about my beautiful wife Heather. She was a compassionate intelligent, brave, witty, a simply delightful person who loved sharing life with others."
• "She was a wonderful wife, we shared a very close marriage relationship for 44 years. Heather was full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control."
• "It's one of the distressing shortcomings of our society that so much attention is showered on those who do evil, and so little on those who do good."
• "I continue to carry a heavy burden of grief over her untimely death, it is a truly horrible thought to live with – that somebody could decide to take her life. I only feel half alive without her."
• "I encourage Erin to receive my offer of forgiveness for those harms done to me with full confession and repentance. I bear her no ill will."
• "I am no longer Erin Patterson's victim and she has become the victim of my kindness."

Simon Patterson, estranged husband of Erin Patterson

• "My children … are left without grandparents as a result of these murders."

• "The grim reality is they live in an irreparably broken home with only a solo parent, when almost everyone else knows their mother murdered their grandparents."

• "The fact these hurdles were actively put in front of them by their own mother is an impact we will wrestle with for the rest of our lives."

Ruth Dubois, daughter of Ian and Heather Wilkinson

• "It is difficult to comprehend how someone could spend months planning this out, researching, collecting the items needed, making the lunch invitation, preparing the meal, sit through eating it and then to carry on with normal life all while knowing the tremendous harm that was being caused."

• "There are multiple times through this process she could have stopped – she could have cancelled the plans, she could have thought about the consequences, been honest, helped the medical staff, potentially change the outcome – instead, at every step of the way, she chose to follow through.

• "It is particularly revolting to experience our family's tragedy be turned into entertainment for the masses."

Lynette Young, sister of Heather Wilkinson

• "It was Don's birthday this week. We are missing them from so much of our family's lives."

• "I'm just so angry and so sad."

Martha Patterson, aged 100, Don Patterson's mother

• "I was the mother of four wonderful sons, one has been taken from us in horrific circumstances."

• "The whole family is broken."

• "At the age of 77 Don taught me how to use the computer … he kept me in touch with others."

• "May God help our family to heal."

Colin Patterson, brother of Don Patterson

• "As the younger brother of Don, I never knew a time without him in my life. As Christians, they were people of hope."

• "It was Don who took on the major share of helping mother as she got older, Gail too contributed …. to making mum's life richer. Their deaths have left a large gap in our family."

Tim Patterson, Don Patterson's nephew and son of Colin

• "The week following the lunch was the worst of my life … I wrote in my diary 'why did God decide to end such amazing lives in such a horrific manner?"

• "Why did she decide to focus her expert wrath on the wonderful people I know?"

Anthony Albanese has opened the door to making much-needed changes to Australia's tax system, while at the same time tempering expectations for an overhaul anytime too soon.

The prime minister was questioned by reporters about his appetite for reform following the government's three-day productivity roundtable last week.

And while he insisted his focus was on the policies Labor took to the last federal election – pointing to the so-called "top-up" tax cut from this year's budget – he hinted further change could be on the table.

"We have an agenda for tax that is decreasing tax next year and the year after," Albanese said.

"That is our focus, the policies that we are implementing now.

"But of course, governments must always look to what they'll do in the future.

"The job of reform is never done.

"You need to be continually making policy."

The comments appear to be a slight change of tune from the prime minister, who was far more cautious and guarded when asked about tax reform than Treasurer Jim Chalmers in the lead-up to the roundtable.

The summit finished with widespread consensus from those within the room – which included politicians, economists, unions and business groups – that something needs to be done to address the generational inequality baked into Australia's economy.

But exactly what the solution is remains a source of contention.

Albanese and Chalmers have both distanced themselves from economists' proposals to raise and broaden the GST to bring it into line with comparable taxes in other nations, and the prime minister has previously poured cold water on changes to negative gearing and the capital gains discount for property investors.

That has left the roughly $50 billion a year in concessions for the $4.1 trillion superannuation system looming as a potential avenue for reform that would allow the government to increase revenue for the budget while also cutting income taxes.

"The major driver of this inequality is the treatment of income in retirement, where superannuation earnings and withdrawals are not taxed over the age of 60," Grattan Institute chief executive Aruna Sathanapally told the roundtable last week.

"And so a retiree household, earning $100,000 per annum, can pay less than half of the tax of a working household with the identical income, purely on the basis of age."

The government hasn't ruled in or out changes to superannuation tax concessions, with Albanese and Chalmers saying any decision on reform will be a matter for the cabinet.

"I said before the summit that it was a roundtable taking place in the cabinet room, it wasn't a meeting of the cabinet," the prime minister said this morning.

"And it's a good thing that there's a promotion of ideas out there.

"In particular, I welcome the fact that people around that roundtable recognise that we have to deal with intergenerational equity issues."
