    This is handy, unfortunately already got free roadside assist with my car insurance renewal a few months ago haha

        Or have both, then if you ever need assistance, call both and see which arrives first. Unless they're both AAMI.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 24/08/2021 - 22:04

          Both AAMI haha. Til next year when up for renewal and go and find someone cheaper

    Just like some of these previous deals, Defence personnel on the frontline of the COVID response aren’t eligible :/

    • The Judge on 24/08/2021 - 19:26
      +24

      Defence personnel, with all due respect to their profession and sacrifices made past & future, shouldn't be on the front line of the COVID response in the first place. Troops don't belong on the streets enforcing lockdowns.

        Rather see them provide support here in Australia rather than fighting a war overseas that nobody wants.

        At the end of the day, Defence personnel are just there as bodies on the ground, no different to the SES volunteers or health workers. The idea is to take the strain off healthcare workers and police officers so they can do the jobs they’re actually trained to do, rather than spend time doing work that anyone can do. The alternative is health workers wasting time directing cars at vaccination clinics, or extra police officers standing around 24 hours a day at quarantine hotels.

        Defence force have been helping at testing sites, some have medical training. There are a lot of different skills in the defence force.

      • HumbleCat on 24/08/2021 - 21:03

        Troops have no legal authority to enforce lockdowns. They only offer support to other agencies. If you are paying them their salary, might as well use them for something. I'm just saying..

        • spaceflight on 24/08/2021 - 21:57

          Troops can arrest people if they believe on reasonable grounds that a person has committed an offence or is committing an offence.

          So can any civilian, you do not need to be a police officer to arrest someone you believe on reasonable grounds has committed an offence.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2021 - 09:23

        Why not? Why have thousands of trained military personnel sitting around doing nothing, when they could be relieving the stress on overstretched coppers? Our military should have been put in charge of the vaccination effort from day one. They are the ONLY organisation in Australia with the logistics capability and training to coordinate something like this. We should have had the one organisation doing this for the whole of Australia instead of the haphazard way each state is doing it now.

      OMG. Some1 is always butthurt when one group gets benefits and another doesn't.

      Perhaps be a little grateful to the company who didn't have to offer anything (yes, OF COURSE they are doing it for the likes). Or at the very least happy for those that benefit this time around.

        I think he just made a general comment that defence force aren't eligible. Not complaining or even showing any lack of gratitude.

        Not sure which one is worse, working in healthcare with covid safe rules and strict protocols vs standing on the street exposed to countless protesters who don't even wear masks

    • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2021 - 09:26

      Only a few hundred military members have been engaged. Do you expect all 80,000+ military personel to get this offer because a small percentage of them helped out?

      Cheer up. It's like a restaurant giving out ONE meal to people in need. It's also good will with some marketing intend underneath.

      Do you blame the restaurant for being cheapskate or 'offensive' for offering only ONE meal?

      Insurance company, like any other business, needs to sustain and also make profit for shareholders. They are not charity even though you may expect them to be one

      Disclaimer: I work in the insurance industry, I'm grateful that insurance companies stay afloat in this uncertain environment. And yes I expect some negs lol.

    Already have it with my state's automobile club and that provides significantly better coverage. However I'd still be eligible for this so it's a good deal :)

      Well to be fair that is what pharmacy has become.

      There are of course some owners who run pharmacy properly but most are glorified government protected and funded super retail entities.

    • purple1 on 25/08/2021 - 01:24

      Pharmacies are not just retail.
      But the store layout of pharmacies in Australia are designed for retail.
      You cannot buy prescription medicine without walking through the retail sections, as the dispenser counter is always at the rear.

      • cowiie on 25/08/2021 - 07:05

        exactly, get rid of retail and just have your dispensing area and counter - Instant non-retail pharmacist with ego boost.

  • GG57 on 25/08/2021 - 10:48

    I would have thought that the marketing people behind this would have learnt something from similar promotions last year, where there seemed to be many more occupations with direct COVID-related work that were not included, than were.
    And, similarly, there are some occupations listed in "…the everyday heroes who help one and all in the fight against COVID-19…" that have most likely not been involved in anything COVID-related.

    Free is free, but this is just poor and cheap marketing and reflects badly on AAMI in my view.
