they sold the CDOs in Australia  to councils and NGOs   , so don't worry we got a share of the pain ( from the GFC ) as i hear it most in Australia  were lobbed at 'sophisticated investors '  ( aka big piles of money advised  by financial advisers and tax consultants )


 but i guess  we will find out next time when  our insurance companies beg for mercy ( like AIG did in the GFC )


 i suspect the mortgagees will all end up in the same place  just through different processes ( in most nations ) i will be watching with curiosity  how the Muslim communities cope , just in case they have a better system


 unless  mortgage insurance has changed  a bit  , it seems it is only there to protect the lender from a major harm


 i have watched carefully  how 'income protection insurance'  has played out ( or resisted paying ) on a buddy who had multiple Super funds and personal insurance  , so can imagine what happens during mortgage stress ( after all the second mortgage   provider normally requires such extra insurance )
