When a Flood is not a Flood

Australian Flood Insurers’ outrageous denial of reality and morality.

Not a flood according to Insurers

In a blatant attempt to avoid large payouts numerous local and Transnational Insurance Companies have refused to acknowledge the MASSIVE FLOODS that recently DEVASTATED Australia, as ‘floods!’

Surely it is NOW time we took criminal Executives hiding behind jargon and tortured definitions outside and hanged them by their stinking, criminal necks. Do not fear any consequences as the abused English language allows any definition to suit any situation; merely refer to the hanging executives as non-existent flood debris! Give the world a break or face the wrath of the entire population, you unspeakable, vile, Executive Parasites!

Further proof stares the public in the face; PARASITIC, large finance companies, whether in the form of Insurance companies or Banks, are nothing but nests of amoral, heinous, white-collar criminals.

While puppet politicians, placed in power by big business and large finance, are murmuring protestations they have yet to honour their RESPONSIBILITY to the ELECTORATE.

This is merely the latest outrageous example of the rapidly deteriorating and FAILING social system in which we live. If you’re looking for the precedent of this type of self-serving Corporate abuse and DENIAL, simply remind yourself that kidnapping and illegal detention without charge has been re-defined as ‘extraordinary rendition’ and that medieval water TORTURE is now defined as ‘waterboarding’ or appreciate the mind-numbing, dissociative term, 'collateral damage,' which hides the REALITY of MASS MURDER -- the list goes on!

However, the REAL issue here is how much more abuse can a population tolerate before it decides that it is time to RESTORE, LAW, ORDER, MORALITY and the INTEGRITY of REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT?

Reform starts with placing KNOWN WAR CRIMINALS, Blair, Bush and Howard on trial for their knowing involvement and collusion in the first civilian holocaust of the 21st century. If any fool thought for a moment that NON-action in the face of unspeakable crimes against humanity did not have consequences then look to your insurance policies, Oz, 'spit chips' then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Report on Oz Insurers from M&C follows:

Australian insurers rule overflowing rivers are not floods
by staff report

SYDNEY -- Thousands of victims of the floods across eastern Australia are furious as they discover their insurance will not cover them for damage caused as rivers overflowed.

Some insurers have told shocked customers their policies cover flash floods and storm water damage, but an overflowing river is not defined as a flood.

The government is threatening to step in and impose a standard definition of flooding in all insurance policies.

Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten warned the insurance industry to 'lift its game' or the government would intercede.

Tens of thousands of homes and businesses were inundated in past weeks including riverside suburbs in Brisbane as heavy rains lashed the eastern half of the continent.

In the southern state of Victoria, floodwaters that looked like a slowly moving inland sea 90 kilometres long and 40 kilometres wide are inundating rural areas.

Coal exporters have lost 2.5 billion dollars (2.47 billion US dollars) so far due to floods. Farmers have lost around 500 million dollars.
