KAP leader highlights realities of regional insurance costs

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?”
