Suncorp’s statement on takeover speculation is the first item discussed on this week’s Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the listed insurer told the Australian Securities Exchange that it is not in discussions regarding a takeover and that it has not received an offer, in response to media reports suggesting “preliminary talks” had taken place.

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

The team also discusses Taylor Fry’s Radar report, the possible impact of reforms to non-compete clauses, and an ASIC review of paid claims advocates.
