Here here. When we pay insurance and EQC levy for years and get worse than shocking service and no payouts surely this is called fraud and theft? Anyone else tired of hearing their pathetic excuses? We live on major fault line...why were they not prepared for an earthquake? They are certainly quick enough to take our money, insurance, increase rates and of course taxed to the hilt...now they can't even respond to claims over 12 months old. No jobs, no CBD, no faith left at all for National here. Fraudsters and thieves.
