The uninsurables: how climate change is pricing people out of home insurance

More frequent and severe disasters are sending insurance costs through the roof, creating a north-south divide in Australia.

On this episode of Follow the Money, Walkley Award-winning journalist Stephen Long joins Alice Grundy to discuss climate change, skyrocketing premiums and serious impact they’re having on inequality.

This discussion was recorded on Wednesday 13 November 2024 and things may have changed since recording.
