2022 floods

It's supposed to be simple: If you're insured and your house gets damaged in a natural disaster, you should be able to process a claim in a timely fashion. 

But as the clean up from ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily continues in North Queensland this week, a parliamentary inquiry into insurers' responses to major flood claims in 2022 has heard the process is anything but simple. In fact, it can be traumatising for flood victims. 

What would you do if your town was flooded? Newspaper boss Naomi Moran didn't just chase the story, she made headlines herself! She rallied together a workforce to keep her community sheltered and fed after some major floods. But this was nothing new for Naomi, she's been giving back her whole life.
