Victoria’s surprise decision to drop the fire services levy puts pressure on NSW to follow suit. But NSW is a very different challenge for the industry. Read all about it in the October issue of Insurance News (the magazine), hitting mailboxes around the country this week.

Australia’s only independent risk insurance publication also introduces the industry’s leaders and their views, focusing this time around on Marsh’s John Clayton, QBE’s Vince McLenaghan and Wesfarmers’ Rob Scott.

It also looks at how brokers are stepping out with their own advertising campaigns, examines the truth behind “soft” and “hard” markets, and points out how your office chair can be a silent killer.

For the background to the big industry issues and the events that make this industry so different, Insurance News is the smart choice of readers. With us it’s never just a case of what and who, but also how and why.
