Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has travelled to Canberra to meet with the Governor General, to dissolve parliament and set off a six week election campaign.

Scott Morrison and his Liberal/Nationals government have been running behind in a number of opinion polls.

The announcement of the May 21 date sets up a 41 day election campaign.

Earlier, Australia’s Employment Minister Stuart Robert argued the Coalition will present a positive vision to the country during the election campaign.

Mr Robert told Sky News the government had a strong economic message to present to the Australian public with unemployment forecast to drop below 4 per cent and economic growth also running at about 4 per cent.

Labor ahead in polls

Labor leader Anthony Albanese is spruiking his economic credentials in an election campaign ad.

Citing his economic degree from Sydney University and six years as infrastructure minister, the Labor leader said he would “get spending under control so we can keep taxes low”.

“Growing up with a single mum, I know the value of a dollar,” Mr Albanese said in the ad.

“Debt has skyrocketed under the Liberals. They’d doubled the debt even before the pandemic.”

He also said Labor would work with manufacturers so Australians could “make more things here”.

“Australians deserve a prime minister who shows up, who takes responsibility,” he said, promising cheaper child care, lower power bills and “fee-free TAFE”.

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.
