The Queensland Party Candidate for Cairns D.J.HUNT has called for people power to force insurance companies to look after clients struggling with the flood crisis.
Mr Hunt said "This is a disaster on a scale not seen before and it is time for the community to band together. Insurance companies have built their empires and made millions of dollars in profits over the years and it is time to give some of that back at such a vulnerable time.”
Mr Hunt’s statements came after it has been revealed that some insurance companies are not covering those decimated by the recent Queensland floods while other companies are in the same circumstances.
“It is time we work together and embarrass these companies into doing the right thing. Companies like Suncorp should be supported if they are doing the right thing. Those that aren’t covering Queenslanders in the same circumstance where companies like Suncorp are should be named and shamed. If they won’t come to the party then we should show our disdain and every single Queenslander should transfer their coverage to the companies that are doing the right thing and boycott those that won’t. ” Mr Hunt said.
Mr Hunt stated “If the insurance companies want to trot out the old protecting their shareholders line then let them come out and say it so Queenslanders can decide whether they want to support millionaire investors or battlers struggling with the loss of everything they own.”
