Spotlight On Home and Contents Insurance

ABC Perth

Join us at ABC studios as Nadia Mitsopoulos shines a light on the rising cost of home and contents insurance.

ABC Studios Perth

The cost of home and contents insurance has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Insurers blame high inflation, and the increasing frequency of bushfires, cyclones, floods and coastal erosion. So will people living in high-risk areas be forced to abandon insurance because of the cost? Will there eventually be no-go zones, which prevent people from building in disaster-prone areas? Or is there a better way to protect our homes, and ensure insurance remains affordable? These issues and more will be discussed in our next Mornings Spotlight forum at the ABC Studios in East Perth, with an expert panel of guests including: <ul><li>David Keys, an insurance broker based in Broome with 38 years' experience in the industry</li><li>Hasluck MP Tania Lawrence, a member of the inquiry into insurers' responses to the 2022 floods</li><li>Will Golsby, general manager of external relations at RAC WA You can join in the discussion by being part of our live studio audience on Wednesday May 1 from 10 to 11am. Doors open at approximately 9.15am.</li></ul>- -Please note: We welcome respectful questions and comments from the audience as part of our Spotlight forums and will endeavour to include as many as possible on the day; however, please note there is no guarantee we will be able to reach everyone in the time available.- -Spotlight - A series of forums hosted by ABC Radio Perth Morning's presenter Nadia Mitsopoulos, shining a light on issues that affect the community and hearing directly from the people it impacts the most.
