One other thing. People looking for a broker in Australia should keep in mind that according to an ASIC report last year Australians lost over $229 million dollars, and that's just the reported scams, the real loss is probably much larger, considering that many people don't even report being scammed (http://smnweekly.com/2016/05/16/asic-report-on-australians-losses-from-investment-scams-2015/). That's not to say that Australia has a worse scammer problem than everywhere else, since there are scammers everywhere, it's just a warning for caution.
