Episode Synopsis

In this week's Weekly Insurance News Wrap from Financial Services Online, key updates include the Coalition's pre-election pledge to ease capital and compliance costs in the insurance sector, a move supported by the Insurance Council of Australia. This aims to improve consumer access to insurance and address the industry's billion-dollar compliance burdens. Scrutiny is also raised on New South Wales' proposal to combat claims farming, with calls for more robust measures. Lastly, the Insurance Council proposes a $30.15 billion, ten-year defense plan in response to recurrent flooding in Australia, aiming for better flood infrastructure, home protections, and proactive measures, but faces political dissent.
