INsight podcast: merger is the (second) biggest story of the year

Ardonagh's $2.3 billion acquisition of PSC is the main topic of discussion on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, shareholders and the Federal Court have approved the deal, which should become "legally effective" today.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of editor-in-chief John Deex, deputy editor Wendy Pugh, and senior journalists Bernice Han and Miranda Maxwell.

The podcast reveals that the Breaking News item announcing the deal in May is our second most viewed article so far this year. Also discussed by the panel are banks' potential action on uninsured homes, the code compliance committee's demand for brokers to "do better", and what's been achieved in 10 years of Dive In.
