Morning coffee and rising insurance premiums, what a combo. Wonder if my house will sink before my bank account does 😅

Zoe King2026-06-29T17:05:16.000Z

River Cole2026-06-29T17:58:16.000Z

lol insurance companies just using climate as an excuse to jack up prices. seen it before, will see it again

Jamie Fox2026-06-29T19:41:16.000Z

How bout we actually do something about climate change instead of just panicking about insurance eh?

Leo McKenzie2026-06-29T20:36:16.000Z

Zoe King2026-06-29T20:19:16.000Z

ffs another poll. like we needed a poll to tell us shits getting expensive and the weather's going mental

Sophie Ngata2026-06-29T20:32:16.000Z

Nah but really, my premiums went up 30% last year. Something's gotta give

River Cole2026-06-29T20:50:16.000Z

meanwhile the government sits on its hands. classic

Sophie Ngata2026-06-29T21:22:16.000Z

100% this. but councils rather approve subdivisions

Jamie Fox2026-06-29T20:57:16.000Z

tbh if we built smarter and stopped putting houses on floodplains this wouldn't be such an issue
