INsight podcast: insurance implications of shopping centre stabbings

The insurance impact of the fatal stabbings at Sydney’s Bondi Junction Westfield is the main topic of discussion on the latest Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, experts have predicted "significant" business interruption claims, and more than 200 workers' compensation claims have already been lodged.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Chairman Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex, Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh and Senior Journalist Bernice Han.

The episode was sponsored by Berkley Re, and features a section with CEO Glen Riddell discussing rising concerns around lithium-ion battery fires.

Also tackled by the panel are the end of El Nino, the review of the General Insurance Code of Practice and music venues' struggles with public liability.
