Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson expressed her heartfelt regrets today as she acknowledged that the national carrier had failed to meet the expectations of Australians during the ongoing challenges in the aviation industry.

In a candid statement, Hudson acknowledged the frustrations and disappointments that many Australians have faced while dealing with Qantas during the COVID-19 pandemic. She cited canceled flights, delayed refunds, and customer service difficulties as areas where the airline had let down its loyal passengers.

Hudson emphasized that the airline had been grappling with unprecedented challenges due to the pandemic, including constantly changing travel restrictions, border closures, and a significant reduction in air travel demand. However, she admitted that this was not an excuse for the shortcomings in customer service and communication.

To address these issues, Qantas plans to implement a series of measures aimed at improving customer satisfaction. These include streamlining the refund process, enhancing communication channels with passengers, and investing in employee training to provide better service during difficult times.

Despite the challenges, Hudson assured Australians that Qantas was committed to playing a vital role in the nation’s recovery and reconnecting families and friends separated by the pandemic.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
