Lack of price transparency in home and car insurance is seeing rates soar eight times faster than wages. It’s time for the Government to give people a chance – by ending the ludicrous pricing systems leaving consumers vulnerable and unprotected.

I'm the Public Defender at the Daily Telegraph, and today I'm launching this petition to demand action for consumers. The power is currently in the hands of insurers and not the consumer — we need a national, Government-run, public price comparison site to put an end to this.

Aussies can compare energy and health insurance pricing online, but not home and car.

Private price comparison websites compare only a fraction of the market because of the refusal of many insurers to release pricing data - but a Government-run site would end this. A government minister has even proposed this change in the past, but now needs to be adopted by Kelly O'Dwyer.

Every Aussie needs home and care insurance — but soaring prices are leaving them under insured. It’s dangerous and unfair.
