Australia has officially announced its decision not to bid for the hosting rights of the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

This decision comes as a shock to many, as Australia had been considered a strong contender in the race to host the prestigious tournament. Instead, it appears that Saudi Arabia is now in pole position to secure the coveted hosting rights.

The Australian Football Federation cited a variety of factors for its withdrawal from the bidding process. Among these reasons were concerns about the financial implications of hosting such a massive event, as well as the logistical challenges posed by the vast distances between Australian cities.

Additionally, there were reportedly concerns about the competition from other potential host nations.

With Australia out of the running, Saudi Arabia has emerged as the frontrunner to host the 2034 World Cup.

The Saudi bid has garnered significant support from FIFA officials and has been praised for its ambitious plans to develop state-of-the-art stadiums and infrastructure.

This would mark the first time that Saudi Arabia hosts the World Cup, representing a historic moment for the nation’s football community.

The decision by Australia not to bid for the 2034 World Cup has raised many questions about the future of the tournament. Will Saudi Arabia’s bid be successful, and how will they handle the challenges of hosting such a major sporting event?

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.
