Feeling sorry for insurance companies would be like feeling sorry for bookies. Not happening.

In reality, they are the same gig.

Same / same but different

Anyone else get a massive hike in their car insurance? I'm with AAMI and it's gone from $60 p/m to $100 p/m, did some online quotes and $100 p/m seems across the board.

I was with AAMI for a long period until I had an accident and needed the car repaired. Found out that many crash repairers will not do AAMI jobs as they force repairers to source second hand parts and do things like only spray the part of the car being repaired which can leave you with a 2 tone car.

Didn't have an issue when the wife decided she'd take on a trolley bay, car was only 6 months old from new
I did have to take it up to Holden Hill though.

OMG, you left the peninsula?

It was tough

It's across the board, our standard increase is around 30% from the previous year. Pretty much no one hasw been spared.

Thank mother nature for that, when you pay out $100 million in claims from a 10 min hailstorm, and then another X million dollars in flood claims, premiums are going to soar, regardless of whether you have personally claimed or not.

The pricing increases are being driven by global factors and are affecting the entire insurance industry.

These industry-wide premium increases are being driven by a range of external factors, including COVID-related supply chain delays, extreme weather events (e.g.: October 2021 SA Hailstorm, QLD and NSW floods, SA Bushfires, etc) and significant increases to reinsurance costs across Australia.

Insurance companies are required to have their own insurance which is called re-insurance. When major events occur (like hailstorms and floods etc) Insurance companies will often claim on that insurance and both companies will jointly cover the costs. The reinsurance company then charges consumer insurance companies, the amounts they need to cover hundreds of millions of dollars of claims.

Understand but a 66% increase is not cool.

Hard to feel sorry for them paying out more than normal while they still make billions in profit every year

If you're a member, take a good look at the financials you'll be receiving shortly for the AGM and you'll see that's definitely not happening in our case.

No doubt happens with others though

The yanks beat them by 40 odd years.

What's the point?

How many of the 500 astronauts sitting on the roof of the craft survived take-off?

So the next country to land there can get Chicken Madras delivered by Uber Eats?

Try 64 years and it was the Ruskies.
(And 54 years ago for the Yanks)
Even China beat India!

I think the fuss is because they're the first to land on the dark side of the moon, hopefully they had Pink Floyd playing at the time.

It's been looking slightly different on my tablet and phone but the same on my pc.
Maybe Android did an update as nothing was done here to my knowledge.
I like it though, a bit cleaner and crisper.

Not for me

Because you're using your phone instead of your laptop?

Mine is on my laptop, the bold is bolder for one.
