More than a quarter of Australians may not have home or contents insurance, leaving them at risk of a huge bill from the wild weather tearing across the country.

A survey by Compare the Market found 26.5 per cent of surveyed Australians do not pay or home and/or contents insurance in the midst of the current cost-of-living crisis.
