New analysis from @ICAUS shows extreme weather generated $4.8 billion in insured losses in 2025, with more than $4.1 billion of that coming from Queensland alone.
Today nearly 30 industry groups, including @ICAUS called on the government to cut red tape by 25% by 2030 to lower costs. Regulatory compliance costs Australia $160B a year – more than Medicare & school education combined. For insurance alone, it's $3.5B. A 25% cut means real relief for consumers.
