In this week's insurance news, the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) calls for liability law reforms due to rising insurance costs, particularly in the entertainment sector. The ICA proposes a national tort law review, emphasizing the need to reassess civil liability laws, address claim farming, and redefine dangerous activities. In other news, the insurance industry saw record profits in 2024 with hikes in premiums, causing concern over affordability among consumers.
