Apology to Dr John Hewson

On 18 May 2020, A Current Affair broadcast a report concerning GSA Insurance Brokers Pty Limited of which Dr John Hewson was Chairman.

The report included a number of allegations about Dr Hewson and GSA concerning an insurance claim made by a couple whose furniture was damaged during a storm that took place in early 2020. A Current Affair acknowledges that GSA was the broker, and not the insurer in relation to the claim, which was denied by the insurer because the damage to the furniture was caused by flood and not a storm.

A Current Affair confirms that there is no truth to any suggestion that Dr Hewson was involved in or responsible for the handling of the claim, retracts the allegations and sincerely apologises to Dr Hewson for the hurt and embarrassment caused.
