Ms Katie McNelis:

The Deputy talked about all of those measures. There is a bit of conflict between what insurance companies want property owners to do, and what thatchers recommend should be done. The two do not align at all. What the insurance companies want owners to do will nearly encourage a fire to start in the home, compared to what the thatchers recommend. That needs to be sorted out. I want to say that I am here to speak up for the people who cannot speak up because they could possibly be in breach of the terms of their mortgage for doing so. That is the reality. People are afraid to say anything, but they should not be.
