The most recent weather forecasts, which point to a fiery spring and summer for Australia, are the main talking point on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As insuranceNEWS.com.au has reported, a Suncorp survey has revealed the misconceptions that many Australians hold about the risk, which has been heightened by the looming El Nino weather system.

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.

Also discussed by the panel is APRA and ASIC corporate plans, court action against former directors of a funeral insurer, and the impact of Hurricane Idalia.
