Fwd: [InsuranceWatch] Advocacy and advisory services, and more

[Templeton Family]

Greetings,
InsuranceWatch welcomes the planned earthquake advocacy and advisory services -- see
our release about them which is linked from here:

http://InsuranceWatch.org.nz/ICNews

We strongly recommend that you take a look at at the story links at the bottom of the press
release - they reference two recent excellent Press stories by Olivia Carville. Her stories
show very clearly why an advocacy service is needed, and why the insurance issues in
Christchurch require continued attention and pressure.

If you'd like to help, please spread those links to your friends and familiar, particularly those
elsewhere in New Zealand or Australia. We need to make sure the insurers and our
politicians know they are being watched and held to account!

Here are short forms of the URLs to make it easier to paste them into emails:

* Worry, despair plague Christchurch residents 02/04/13:

* Health risks lurk in post-quake homes 27/04/13: http://tinyurl.com/HealthRisksLurk

Finally, if you'd like to sign an online petition urging Minister Brownlee to improve EQC claims
management process, you can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/EQCPetition

InsuranceWatch will soon be running another follow-up survey to try and assess recent rates
of progress. If you participated in any previous IW survey, it'll be really important to let us
know your current situation, good or bad. We'll keep the survey short and to the point,
promise.

All the very best!
The InsuranceWatch team
