I read with some interest Peter Garrett's fall from grace - then I had to read the statement again as I could not believe my eyes:
'establishment of a standalone Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency'
Hold on! Is this yet more bureaucracy? Certainly looks like it is; this is the old trick of splitting in two and adding more to the remaining halves.
Bureaucratic overload
I know the environment is important and all that - but why oh why does this have to be treated as a 'special case' of environmental management? It's just too much and its leading to inappropriately rushed legislation (the ETS). Of course this is not going to help one bit the wish of many for there to be more homes built to overcome the shortfall experienced which is making it very hard for first home buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.Also I think it further moves the focus away from the very local specific environmental mismanagement going on in places like the Murray Darling Basin - we need to be doing more to deal with the local issues first then worry about whats left and if it is actually related to climate change or not.

Hi Keith, You clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and come across as a completely ignorant idiot. There are two majors problems with you. Firstly you think that Today Tonight is a reputable journalism forum that gives you unbiased reporting. Was this guy really just sitting on the back of a ute before an unknown person got in and drove away? Secondly you know nothing about insurance. Allow me to retort to your 4 recommendations. 1) Your ignorance is showcased by you not realising that all policies have a clause about being drunk. Each case is dealt with individually, further showing that TT only reported certain aspects of the story. 2) Travel insurance companies clearly define what the exceptions are to their cover. 3) Your local MPs have nothing to do with insurance policies so why would I waste their time? 4) If you knew anything about PR you would know that there is no such thing as bad PR.
Go back to the couch, im presuming youre in a singlet and tracksuit pants, and continue to pretend you know anything about anything. Also, get a copy of the dictionary and learn how to spell properly.
Kind regards,

Hi Andrew,
See the link http://www.productreview.com.au/showitem.php?item_id=20236 - Cover-More has been playing hard ball; which to be fair they are entitled to do; but in this case I think they have overstepped the line.
Also there is such a thing as bad PR, my other half is a marketing researcher and PR specialist - anybody remember the Ratners 'a M&S prawn sandwich would last longer than our jewelery' speech at their AGM; and that is quoted from memory!
The problem with this particular case is that the individual concerned was a third party to another person's actions, and they still used the 'had drunk' clause to get out paying - that's the real problem here. Yes, fair cop if you had one to many and fell down and hurt yourself; not a fair cop if someone injures you and you had no part in causing that injury.
As regarding local PM's - the government sets the regulatory and licensing environment in which insurance companies operate. So pressure applied there could prevent this in future.
Let me repeat, I'm not against business making money; but there are times when a line is crossed and action needs to be taken to re-enforce that line for the good of all. This is looking like one of those times.ON Thu, 25 Feb 10, 12:02am probably from Australia Reply to this comment

Does single trip insurance cover local travel? If I buy single trip insurance for a trip from the London, UK to Melbourne, Australia, does the policy cover me for additional local flights within Australia during the course of the holiday? Like a flight to Sydney and back to Melbourne? Or is the missed/delayed departure policy usually for the flight entering Australia and the flight leaving Australia only.
