INsight podcast: floods spread after latest deluge

19 October 2022

The High Court’s rejection of covid-related business interruption appeal applications and the impact of flooding, centred this time in Victoria, are among the main discussion points in the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

The panel also discusses Australian Securities and Investments Commission scrutiny of insurers over failures to deliver premium discount promises, with Deputy Chair Karen Chester providing an update to a House of Representatives committee hearing last week.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Managing Editor John Deex, Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh and senior journalists Bernice Han and Miranda Maxwell.

Other topics include highlights from the National Insurance Brokers Association summit in Sydney, which was addressed by Financial Services Minister Stephen Jones.

A recent Australian Financial Complaints Authority decision on a dispute triggered by an overflowing bathtub, and various circumstances where insureds are at fault, is also discussed on the podcast.
