Recently Returned to Work #04 - Quick Bits
..Quick Bits of Good Insurance News..
I want to share with you a selection of Australian Insurance Industry media & news flooding my work inboxes once again. Some of it is quite good to read and reminds me of a time when a calculated pessimist and cynic was considered a professional and good operator.
Natural law, much like concepts of Risk and Insurance, can't be deformed into a misrepresentation of why it exists. There's a reason these concepts predate our awareness of them: all things come back to the irreducible, the incontrovertible causal nature of our universe.I am excited to be back inside the insurance game: for now it gives me hope that there are establishments upholding principles & practices whose legacy pays homage to a civilization built by contract & co-operation.
Romantic notions are silly, i know. If not only just for maximization of profit or apportionment of liability or most necessary of all - investigation of negligence - Risk and Insurance treats Truth as a serious business.
So prepare yourself to endure incredulity at some of the articles below. It's hard to believe that what's published by the Insurance sector seems like veritable good news!
