After some rather circular language we hear that ICA does support general insurance being covered by the Unfair Contracts Terms legislation but does not want the majority of terms in an insurance contract covered by the Act

Insurance Council CEO Rob Whelan was telling the proposed model for add-on car insurance would leave it up to customers to contact dealers, but Council's proposal is actually for dealers to contact customers. As Commissioner put it- "How's the car going? By the way..."
