The upcoming federal election is the hot topic on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the Insurance Council of Australia has pledged to advocate for "meaningful" action on mitigation in the run-up to the May 3 poll.

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

The panel also talks about last week's budget including the axing of non-compete orders for some employees, the cyclone pool inquiry's final report, and the adoption of AI in the finance sector workplace - and at Insurance News.
