Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Paige Estritori brings us the latest from the Australian insurance industry, including a dispute between QBE Insurance and an uninsured driver. The Australian Financial Complaints Authority ruled in favor of QBE, concluding that the uninsured driver didn't maintain a safe driving distance, causing the accident. Meanwhile, the Australian Consumers Insurance Lobby pushes for a significant $250 million per year fund aimed at disaster risk mitigation and improving insurance access. Chairperson Tyrone Shandiman advocates this step, stating it would restore public trust and is abbreviated by the Insurance Council's proposition for a $30 billion flood defense program. Finally, QBE Insurance was embroiled in a fraudulent rental claim related to storm damage, but managed to recover $46,830 in payouts after evidences were proven to be falsified. Stay tuned for more updates in the next episode.
