The article is vague on what the anti-fraud technology is. From reading the FAQ here: https://service.vic.gov.au/find-services/digital-wallet/digi... it seems to be a method for verifying the user isn't showing a screenshot, by displaying an interactive "hologram" that changes when tilting the phone. If the venue doesn't follow the QR code to a server-side copy of the license, there's no verification it isn't a clone application mimicking the same behavior while displaying user-input data.

If anyone else was confused, “spruiking” means to advertise in an enthusiastic manner.

TIL a new word, lol. Yeah, I understood it to mean something akin to ‘touting’.
