There are an increasing number of cancellations in Manhattan that we believe are related to the lack of terrorism coverage, ... We're very concerned about this situation.

Prevention is always better than cure and that applies not only in health but it also applies in terrorism. You can't cure terrorism, you can't bring somebody back to life after they've been killed by a terrorist and therefore laws which are designed to anticipate and to prevent a terrorist act are laws that Australians should support, and I believe most Australians will support these laws.

How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?

It's strictly a perception issue.

We do not anticipate a crisis in the market. We expect some of Allstate's competition will take advantage of this and pick up some of the business.

We have expressed to Allstate that we are extremely dissatisfied with their decision to non-renew.
