Katter Australia Party leader Robbie Katter has claimed mitigating insurance risks won’t bring down premiums in major regional towns like Mount Isa.

“To provide context with insurance I live in Mount Isa on a flood free hill in a nice modern home, there is zero crime in my suburb,” he said.

“I pay $4500 a year for my insurance and as I understand it, if my house was in Brisbane it would be $1000 a year.

“With all due respect, there's no mitigation in Mount Isa, who’s going to make my insurance go down?”
