The Bureau of Meteorology's latest long-range forecast and a pending El Nino are discussed in detail on the latest Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, eastern Australia and parts of the southwest are predicted to receive below-average rainfall from May to July. This, combined with the likely El Nino, has raised concerns about bushfire conditions.

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

The panel also discusses ICA’s renewed push for a flood defence fund, the latest Marsh commercial index, and what insurers are doing about silent AI exposure.
