A near miss from Cyclone Ilsa is the main topic of conversation on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, Ilsa crossed the WA coast as a category 5 cyclone and set a new wind speed record, but it missed major population centres so insured losses are expected to be relatively low.

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 Miranda Maxwell.

The panel also discusses upcoming reinsurance renewals, breaches of the General Insurance Code of Practice, and the thorny issue of insurer-reimbursed cyber ransom payments.
