IAG’s investment in a modular home builder and its implications for disaster recovery are the first issues discussed on the latest episode of the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the insurer’s Firemark Ventures arm has taken a stake in Melbourne company Spacecube following a pilot of its flat-pack housing units as claimant accommodation in Victoria after January bushfires.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features deputy editor Wendy Pugh, and senior journalists Bernice Han and Miranda Maxwell.

Also discussed this week is criticism of the NSW homes buyback scheme, an El Nino declaration and what it means for bushfire risk, the latest developments on coverage for travellers and cargo in the Middle East, and some good news on red tape.
