The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's decision to block IAG's proposed acquisition of RAC Insurance is one of the main topics discussed on the Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, the ACCC has opposed IAG's $1.35 billion purchase of the WA business, but the company will continue to pursue deal approval through a new public interest avenue introduced this year.

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 Ian Welch.

The team also discusses the rise of data centres, a raft of reports on AI, and warnings over this summer's potential bushfire risk.
