The latest development in the Steadfast takeover bid is among the stories discussed on this week’s Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the consortium bidding for the broking giant is in the final stages of due diligence and an exclusivity period has been extended again.

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 looks at the listed insurers’ latest results, general insurance dispute data from the industry ombudsman, and the worrying outlook for this year’s bushfire season.
