Homeowners in Victoria's flood zones are caught in the middle of an insurance nightmare as the state faces its wettest start to January on record. Some residents say they can no longer afford their policies, with insurers calling on governments to buy back properties and force locals out. youtu.be/k1C0pxxEgcA @BlakeJohnson #7NEWS
