The Bureau of Meteorology's long range severe weather season forecast is the main topic of conversation on the latest Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the Bureau predicts more flooding, but also increased numbers of cyclones, severe heatwaves, and bushfires.

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

Other issues discussed by the panel include the proposed raising of the Warragamba Dam wall, broker code breaches, and the likely outcome of a data breach class action against Optus.
