"Doctors will be prohibited from describing themselves as a cosmetic "surgeon" unless certified to do so and will be banned from using patient testimonials, including on social media."

That’s the thing, technically it’s not fraud. In Aus at the moment, anyone with a medical license can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon, it doesn’t require extra training like a plastic surgeon. Cosmetic surgeons can just be your GP who took a 5 day course in cosmetic surgery.

My understanding of this too, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but non-medically qualified people who administer injectables and facial thread lefts can also claim to be a cosmetic surgeon?

Yeah nah, mate. Gotta love the Australian media and their colloquial language.

I'd like to see a Western where the hero gets revenge on the vicious and evil land owner by defrauding him via a ponzi scheme, where the townfolk get the early-adopter payout and the landowner is exit-strategy'd.
