Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison says “of course” U.S President Joe Biden knows his name after a monumental blunder

Speaking with 2GB radio in Australia on Friday, Morrison assured that the US President knew his name.

“He called me pal, that’s how he usually refers to me on the phone too,” Mr Morrison told host Ben Fordham.

“Of course he does,” Mr Morrison said when the host asked if he knew his name

The Prime Minister told Sunrise a few minutes later that he thought it was “quite funny”.

“We always speak privately, he refers to me as his pal,” he said.

The blunder occurred when Biden turned to thank British Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he concluded his speech during the announcement of the landmark trilateral defence deal.

“Thank you, Boris,” Biden said.

“And I want to thank that fella Down Under. Thank you very much pal.”

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.
