Mother Nature’s turn to court insurer wrath

FAIR dinkum eh! A little over a week ago it was fresh to frightening on the bay, there was sea spray on the windows of homes in Douglas; today you could paddle your lilo to the reef, what amazing weather we have.

Not to mention the act of God, the flood, the storm, dam release, fruit bat pee, flushing the loo on the 11.25 Qantas to Brissy, cloud perspiration, or the many other explanations that may or may not be, limited to or not limited to, on insurance covers, for our rain event. Firstly and probably secondly, insurance is super important and super is super important, maybe even superman is super important.

So I’m not having a go at insurance, just a giggle, more so a different look at, but not limited to, insurance or outsurance or any surance, sure or not sure, waived or not waived. Are you with me on this, or have you waived or unwaived or diswaived your right to do so? If not, just wave.

Be that as it may, or may not, depending on the insurer’s mum, dad or beneficiary of the aforementioned policy, or in this case not aforementioned because I’ve not mentioned it afore or before, so far, or not that far. Depending on the Duty of Disclosure, not that I’m on duty at the moment to disclose or indispose, I suppose.

No doubt this is as clear as Ross Creek water. I’ll probably be in a touch of trouble with my insurance mates for seemingly, but not limited to, not understanding the policies I have, or don’t have, or may have without prior notice or understanding before or after the cooling-off period. For goodness sake, the only thing I sorta understand was where to sign my name, and I even spelt that wrong.

Now where was I, oh yes, Subrogation! It apparently means, or doesn’t mean and is not limited to, describing a legal right held by most insurance carriers to legally pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured. I’m guessing, that means pursue the person who caused the problem, so that means the companies are after Mother Nature, because she did it!

This is big news.

When our courts are back in action, poor Mother Nature will be hauled through the Rosslea mud to answer the charges.

If indeed She is found guilty, will she create a rainbow and shower the multitudes with Gold lotto winnings, I wonder? I wouldn’t like to be in her thongs, these big companies are clever, you know.

Please forgive me for my ridiculous ramblings, having a different look at a most serious facet of our lives at the moment … having said, maybe there’s a slight, very slight message to them, don’t you think?

I wish everyone, every single one of you in our Townsville and north Queensland family, that you get through this, and all covers paid, I really do. Let’s find

Townsville’s Smile once more. Happy Days.

PS. Interesting to note, or not to note, depending on the situation before, after or present, before the note was noted, there’s a wonderful show coming up by Theatre NQ and the talented Terri Brabon; it’s called, can you believe it, The Weir!
