David signed up for funeral insurance in 2001. He didn't realise he would have to pay 'until you die' https://t.co/m66rlIfhaZ

[Consumer Action @consumer_action]

“The only way the funeral insurance would have any benefit would be if you were to die in 5 years’ time because if you pay beyond that you are likely to pay more than what the benefit is worth.” @steph_tonkin @PhilippaHeir @FCAupdate

@misspipkelly I was so upset when our four year old son told me that girls couldn’t win. A friend at kindergarten told him this, apparently. Where do they learn this stuff?

Wonderful to see @FCAupdate Lynda Edwards selected as a finalist in the NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year award for her commitment to promoting financial literacy and addressing financial hardship among First Nations people #WOTYA #WOTYA2023 #CrackingTheCode #WomenNSW 🖤💛 ❤️

I really encourage anyone buying a house to take flood risk seriously. Don't assume that bc you can get insurance now, that everything is fine & it will continue to be available in the future. If it isn't, it will seriously impact the value of your home https://t.co/RvoNetrDEz

[Philippa Heir @PhilippaHeir]

@JenaFriedman Maybe both. I cannot recommend Lactivisim, by Courtney Jung, more highly.

It's time for NZ to stop predatory sales of #junkinsurance in the caryard. Don't let Australia be a step ahead on this one.

1/7 Here we go (will I stuff up a🧵?): Today is my last day as @abcnews consumer affairs reporter. It's a wonderful job with brilliant colleagues. I'm a strong believer in public broadcasting. Every day, I've woken up happy to do this role.

“It’s definitely dangerous, especially if you’re already finding it difficult to pay bills. And then people think it’s extra money. They don’t realise it’s actually credit and it’s not regulated.” – Shae Robbins, National Debt Helpline #abc730

"Funeral insurance is junk...For every $1 people pay in premiums, a paltry 29 cents is paid back to customers in claims across the industry...” @choiceaustralia @FCAupdate @Fin_Rights_CLC

I have an idea for #InternationalWomensDay next year: Don’t send marketing emails to women telling them they should ‘pamper’ themselves to celebrate.

@ellenbroad Recommend Sam the sheep alarm clock.

[Erin Turner @ErinLTurner]

This is easily the most harmful and unfair practice I’ve seen from Australian insurers. Renters are being chased for accidental and unintentional damage costs after their landlords make insurance claims. Thread.

@drewld Oh, how wonderful. Now human, and computer, claims assessors can make massive generalisations.
